Lets talk pregnancy test....
Just as an FYI, most blue line tests are not reliable -- especially Walmart Equate Brand or those that look like them. They give lines 90% of the time.

Peeing too much on the stick should have nothing to do with seeing the 2nd line. It is looking for hormones that bind to a chemical on that part of the stick which has a reaction making the blue show up. Normal non pregnant urine does not have the hormone to make the reaction happen. So you can pee on it til the cows come home and not see a change.
As far as hospitals are concerned with reading preg screens like the ones we use at home.. If there is a 2nd line No Matter How Faint it is considered a BFP. So if you see the faintest of lines consider it a BFP. A blood draw to get the HCG level is the best way to confirm though since it can pick up the hormone better than a pee stick (which can give many false negs).
hope that helps
