Hello ma'am and welcome.

A faint line is still considered positive, and so I would recommend a visit to your doctor in about 2 weeks time to get a more accurate confirmation on pregnancy. Some women do not return directly positive urine pregnancy tests until 3 months into their pregnancy so please do not worry, but I would also urge you to continue living assuming you are pregnant (i.e. do not take any medications, avoid stressful and vigorous exercise regimens, avoid crash diets, etc.) until your doctor rules it out in 2-3 weeks time.

Best wishes.
