I have peed on the pregnancy test stick, but only a faint line is visible. What does it mean?

This may be because you are testing early and the hCG level has not yet risen sufficiently in the body for the test to be able to measure the result. Even if the color is weak, two red lines indicate pregnancy, but to be on the safe side, we recommend that you test again in a day or two. The closer to your menstrual day, the stronger the hCG level in the urine will be and you should get a stronger line.
