Okay, I ordered some of the early pregnancy tests off the internet.

It sounds positive to me.

When I was pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago, I tested on the first day I was late with a test from the dollar store. I used FMU. It came up negative (so I thought.) Later in the day after work, I just could not wait, and tested with another test from the dollar store. Positive. And a fair amount darker. I pulled the first one out of the trash, and there it was, a VERY faint line, like the one you're talking about.

At 13dpo I had a very faint bfp almost not there and then on 14dpo I had a much clearer one but I used a FRER and a walmart brand test and a digital lol before I was convinced it was real. I would test again tomorrow with FMU with another test. The darkness of the line can depend on many different factors including when implantation occurred which can happen anywhere from 6dpo-12dpo so if implantation occurred on 11dpo or 12dpo for you the levels may not be high yet. It could also be the amount of dye in the tests and whether your urine was concentrated enough. I wouldn't worry about the faintness of the line as long as the line has color and showed up within the time frame. I would do another test tomorrow and call your dr for a blood test. HTH and congrats on the line.
