Q: Very Faint Positive Test? Help Me Please...

i am new here and have a few questions I hope someone can help me with...
My husband and I having been trying to get pregnant for 7 years (i'm now 29) I have very mild pcos and my husband is near sterile (exceptionally low count and motility, not even enough for ivf) we have had 4 cycles of icsi and next week we are about to try for our 5th (and final) icsi.
But....
I'm 5 days away from af and I have heavy breasts, keep fainting, feel sick (but am not actually sick) and I just have this 'feeling' that i'm pregnant, i've had feelings like i'm pregnant before (don't we all when we wish for it so damn hard) but this time I feel so sure, anyway I bought a pregnancy test (to put myself out of my misery) i've just done it (20 mins ago) and it came up straight away with a (very very) faint positive pink line in the second box (which according to the box means i'm pregnant!!!) it's an early detector test and as I said i'm still 5 days before my period so that could explain the very faint line? I don't think it's a evaporation line as it is slightly coloured pink.
I will obviously test again in a few days but this is killing me, those few days until my af (or hopefully my lack of af) will seem like years - I think I may go crazy with anquish. I'm too scared to tell my husband in case the test is wrong (it would break his heart in two) I am so confused; half elated/half worried sick. How on earth can I be pregnant when my husband has such a low count? (no I haven't played away from home!!!)
does a (very) faint pink line mean i'm pregnant? I'm sure it does, I don't know whether to laugh or cry? I want a baby more than life itself, my heart aches daily for a child. Having a baby is never far from my mind for more than a few hours. Can miracles really happen? Please can anyone tell me if this is possible? And does anyone know if a faint line is still a positive? So sorry for these questions but as I said - i'm half crazy with confusion.
Thank you so very much for your time.

Emma - congratualtions girl........Yes, even a "faint" pink line in the result window indicates a positive pregnancy test!!!!!
It is probably faint b/c of the fact that you are still 5 days away from your af arriving. The further you are along, the levels of the hcg hormone increase, and would show a darker line, as this is what the test is picking up on.
Even though your husband has a low sperm count, remember, it only takes one sperm to fertilize your egg, so if it did it's job and swam all the way there, then that's all it needs!
Your symptoms definatley sound like pregnancy symptoms - although some women do not have any symptoms like this until they are further along, but we are all different!
Take a deep breath, enjoy the moment - and if you want to wait, you can take another test in a couple of days (try buying a different brand even, and one that has a higher sensitivity to the hcg hormone) and if that one also shows even a faint line in the result window, you have your answer and your blessing - finally!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you all the best of luck and will cross my fingers for you that you have a little one in your tummy
keep us posted on your test(s)!!!!!!!!
My g/f took a test and it showed a very faint line in the window. I took her and we bought another test, and again, a faint line appeared.......She is due jan.31'07!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!!
