What Causes Faint Line In Pregnancy Test And Bleeding?
I took a pregnancy test that gave a very, very faint positive (still not sure if that counts as being positive). I started bleeding yesterday and it was very chunky and thick, not heavy, just a really thick substance. However, now th bleeding has basically stopped. My period is normally quite irregular. Am I likely still pregnant?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion even if the test gives faint line it means pregnancy is there and is called weakly positive.Weak positive pregnancy test is seen in case if the test is done too early or abnormal pregnancy like miscarriage or ectopic.So I suggest you to consult doctor as ultrasound might be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
