I think your pregnant. You can take another test and see if it is any darker! if you see the second line at all no matter how faint, then you should be pregnant! Don't stress your body because your not getting sick because that could cause you to get sick! Just Thank God for this chance again and relax! I would take another test! If you are really worried which i beleive you are then I would go to the emergency room and tell them your situation and they should be able to hear a heart beat or do an ultrasound! I would do this if you are really not wanting a m/c so this will ease your heart and mind!!! Good Luck!!

The positive line is really faint. Is this okay? An HPT tells you exactly one thing: your urine either has detectable pregnancy hormone in it, or it doesn't. The darkness or lightness of a line doesn't mean much. Generally speaking, a very light line can mean there is a small amount of hCG in your urine, and a very dark line can mean there is a larger amount of hCG in your urine. This is why you may get a faint positive at 10 DPO but a darker positive at 18 DPO. However, this is not always true. Tests are all different, and even tests in the same box may differ in sensitivity. Comparing light/dark lines will just drive you nuts. If you see a line in the "results" window, you're preg!
Could I have a false positive? Check out The Truth About False Positives for an in-depth look at false positives. Essentially, it is possible, but it's unlikely. If you get two lines, you're most likely pregnant. Exceptions: if you have been taking certain fertility meds with hCG, the test may be picking up the hCG from the meds and not an embryo. Also, some tests develop "positive" lines after the time limit. You should NOT read the test after the time limit (usually 10 minutes, but check the directions that came with the test.) Yes, this means you should throw the test away and NOT dig it out of the trash in three hours to see if a line magically appeared. And, if the "positive" line is gray or looks like a "dent" in the test, it is an evaporation line and not a true positive.
Lastly, if you have been pregnant recently, it's possible that the test is detecting residual hCG. However, if a pregnancy ends early on, it's unlikely that hCG will remain in your system very long, so most women have nothing to worry about here. (It's extremely common for women to conceive immediately following an early miscarriage; the body is "primed" for pregnancy, so to speak, and elevated progesterone left from the miscarriage gives the next embryo a great shot at a healthy implantation. So, most women really are detecting a new pregnancy.)
However, the more hCG you had in your system when the pregnancy ended, the longer it will take to dissipate. HPT's can even detect residual hCG for up to 6 weeks following a full-term birth. It's a possibility you should keep in mind if you get positive HPT results soon after a previous pregnancy ended.

I am sorry for your losses~
Sometimes a light pink means the pregnancy is a "false" pregnancy~ or .. That the egg implanted with OUT being fertilized. That is why it is a "false".
My test BEFORE the pregnancy of my son was a light pink... when I went for a sonogram after I spotted, it showed a sack with a hole where the fertilized egg did NOT take.

Every pregnancy can feel different. Take another home pregnancy test to be sure. Even if the line was faint, the test still detected the pregnancy hormone.

Even if it is light pink it is still positive. Mine was light and got brighter with tha day. yes i didnt believe i could be pregnant! So yes i had some weeks that were ok and some days i was ok and some days i wanted to die... Every pregnancy is different. you can still go and check your HCG levels if you are really scared!

the more you stress about it and if you are pregnant it will stress the baby. so try and relax and think positive. i am sure that things will work out for you, and good luck with everything.
