Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here
You're very likely to be pregnant, Even the faintest line in the results window means the test has found pregnancy hormones in your urine.
and a false positive result is very rare
Pregnancy tests are designed to detect hCG Harmon in your urine and because hCG is an early marker of pregnancy. How much hCG there'll be in your urine depends on how long you've been pregnant, the more days that have passed since sperm fertilized egg, the higher your hCG levels will be – and the second Line will be Darker in pregnancy test
So a very faint/Light line nearly always means that you're just a few days pregnant.
if you have doubt you may repeat Home pregnancy test after few days or you may go for a Blood test to determine whether you r pregnant or not
I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
