What does a faint line on pregnancy test mean

[MK85]

I've never taken a pregnancy test before. I'm due to start fertility medication ( clomid as i have pcos) which needs to be taken during day 2 of my period. I did a test just to completely rule out a pregnancy before starting the course. I did a first response and these are the results I got.
What do faint lines mean ?
Do they have to be strong to indicate a positive result ?
Are faint lines just classed as negative?
It said to hold in pee for 5 seconds , however the liquid never entered window , I had to dip it back in for another 2 or 3 seconds. So Could both tests be faulty?
I also did a cheapie boots test which was negative.
I'm also bleeding and had cramps for past week which is why I'm asking , I don't know weather I'm having a period and should start my course of medication or if I should hold off because of this result incase the reason im bleeding is not a period. Any advice would be grateful. I had a positive opk 16 days ago

That looks like a positive line OP!

Sometimes you get a faint line when there is an evaporation mark but these are colourless. This line is very much pink.

it’s unlikely you’d get a false positive.

you can bleed / spot in early pregnancy. Cramps are normal too.

have you got any other tests? A digital one?

Oh sorry two tests - yeah really unlikely two false positives.

i would say you are pregnant OP.

Definitely pregnant, surely?!
Congratulations … I think 😊

Pregnant on both those tests. Don’t start the medication this cycle. The bleeding might mean a pregnancy isn’t going to last sadly but you don’t want to think what if if you take the medication and this might work out!
