Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Weak positive line can be seen in case of early pregnancy, but sometimes Urine Pregnancy Test kit can also give false positive results. Serum beta hCG levels about 25 mIU/mL is confirmative of pregnancy whereas between 5 and 25 mIU/mL, is inclusive. So, now what you can do is you please repeat beta hCG levels because usually in case of normal pregnancy the beta hCG levels will double in 2 days during early pregnancy period. In repeat test if the beta hCG levels are not rising as expected the possibility of the pregnancy is less and miscarriage should be ruled out by ultrasound.  And if beta hCG levels are less than or equal to 5 the possibility of pregnancy is almost ruled out. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Sree Gouri
