Brief Answer:
Repeat urine pregnancy test advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Your beta hCG levels are normal according to the gestation of pregnancy.
Faint line in the urine pregnancy test can be due to error in the kit or due to ectopic pregnancy or abortion.
I will suggest you to repeat a urine pregnancy test with a different kit.
If the results are same, then you should get a transvaginal ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
