Tests normally say that if a second line appears, however faint, then it's positive.

Having said that, false positives do happen. If I were you I'd take another test and if still unsure then go to a doctor.

Edited to add: using morning urine normally increases the accuracy of the tests. Also, be strict about the time limit for reading the tests - if the faint line showed up later, then it's probably not accurate.

Yeah this was this morning, yesterday I took a test was faint, but this morning it's more visible. I guess I'm testing to early I will try again Friday which leaves it a week
