Dear Arti,

What I gather from your history is that you have missed your two periods. After two months, if the pregnancy test shows faint line, it means the pregnancy test is weak positive.

Weak positive test is an issue of concern. It suggests that there is a possibility of pregnancy somewhere outside the uterine cavity, most commonly tube. It is called as Ectopic Pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy cannot grow long and has a risk of rupture of tube. This causes severe haemorrhagic emergency requiring surgical intervention with many units of blood. However, if it is diagnosed before rupture, it can be managed by medicines like Methotrexate.

Ultrasonography will help you about this information. If the uterine cavity is empty in spite of the (weak) positive pregnancy test, it suggests ectopic pregnancy.

Please report to your Gynaecologist ASAP.

I hope you got the message.
