I did a pregnancy test today, it came up one line but when I tilt the pregnancy test there is a really faint line but if I put it on the flat surface I cant see the faint line I can only see it when I tilt it. Does this mean I am pregnant or its negative?

Hello there. I can understand your concern. For the test to be read as positive, both lines should be dark. If not equally dark they should be dark enough. The faint line what you have seen is negative. Consult a gynecologist in person for further evaluation and management.
