Hallow Dear,
The very fact that second line is visible, you are pregnant. However, the question is about the faint line (weak positive).
If the test is performed too early, it may report weak positive. If the pregnancy is implanted somewhere outside the uterine cavity (ectopic pregnancy), also the test can be weak positive. To clarify
the matter, please get ultrasonography done. If sac is seen within uterine cavity, it is normal pregnancy; otherwise it can be ectopic pregnancy. Such pregnancy does not grow and may rupture causing severe bleeding emergency requiring emergency surgical intervention with many units of blood transfusion. However, if diagnosed in unruptured state, it can be treated conservatively wioth medicines like Methotrexate.
Please report to your Gynaecologist ASAP.
