well, a light line is a line. pregnancy is positive. first pee of the day holds highest hormone levels but really you can do it anytime.
Get the digital ones. It will either say pregnant or not pregnant.
Doesn’t matter how light or dark the line is. A line is a line.
Take a digital pregnant not pregnant test
Take it using a digital test the ones that say pregnant or not pregnant.
Then take it as soon as you wake up
Any line is a + no matter how faint
First thing in morning. I used the dollar test with all three of my kids, quick to find out and easy to read. Plus didn’t have to pay much

Call your ob office and ask for blood test then go and find out for sure. I have used home tests and got 2 negatives before a positive one at 4 months she is now 25

I say first thing in the morning is usually best but I was always able to do it anytime of day
Your pregnancy is in the early stages…you’re probably not 6 weeks as yet that’s why the lines are light. If you wait a week or so the line will become darker. Your doctor telling you to wait a week or so is because when she does the ultrasound she won’t see the fetus till you’re about 6 weeks + pregnant.
Get a digital or request blood work
Do your test first thing In the morning and I suggest just getting the ones that say “pregnant or not pregnant” I found out just under 4 weeks that I was pregnant with those.
When you think you might be pregnant?
Take a digital test first pee in the morning. When I was pregnant with my son I was a few days late for my period and I had 2 strong dark lines but some have faint lines that get darker in time. A Digital test will be more clear. But if your hormone levels aren’t high enough for it to read yes and you still haven’t gotten a period I’d wait another 5-7 days and test again.
I went to my primary care Dr for a confirmation test and they were extremely friendly and helpful. Maybe try them first? Then they can send confirmed positive to you ob?
Same thing happened to me in September and October of last year. Took 5 tests in September all negative but missed my period. October 9th I went in to the er feeling like crap and their blood and urine tests were negative for pregnancy. October 20th all the same tests were done and all positive.
Get blood work done to check for HCG levels.
I had a faint line with this pregnancy and I am very very pregnant. I’m 5 months now
A line is a line.
Denying critical testing (a pregnancy test) is negligence and you can sue your ob.

You can go into a walk in they will give you a test
You could always go and get a digital test and take it first thing in the morning to confirm.
A line is a line faint or not. First thing in the morning though.

I think these symptoms are in your head because you want to believe so badly that you’re pregnant. You don’t really get any symptoms of pregnancy until you miss your period. Goodluck

It’s best to wait until your period is due. I know those apps were off on ovulation for me. Your symptoms can be from pms as well. It’s best to use ovulation tests and bbt to track ovulation. The apps just guess.

Wait couple days then test again
It could be too early, a lot of tests say “as early as” 5 days before your missed period. But that’s still pushing it as far as accuracy. At the same time, if it’s something you’ve been wanting badly, your body could mimic the symptoms. So essentially it could be in your head.

I was just super tired, and had a missed period
First am urine is always best but should wait till you’re closer to your cycle
I had better smell than normal and I tested postive 5 days before my period late at night ! But the ovulation on my app was not accurate I used the clear blue sticks and they were showing ovulation 2 days before the app and apparently they were correct !
Way too early. You need to wait until after you miss ur period than add a week to just make sure you werent just late than text. Thats the right time to test

I think its too early to test, even though the tests say they can tell as early as 5 days before. It’s never worked for me, I usually wait to test after I miss my period entirely, maybe even a little bit longer. I also test first thing in the morning, usually right out of bed.
2 weeks from 22nd, earliest
My test showed positive 2 weeks after we had sex. I just had a feeling I was 
I’m 7 weeks now and was just told I have HG I’ve been puking pretty much since day 1. Kinda sucks. But yeah I was more tired and nauseas about a week in I started having mood swings.
Wait another week and take again ! I took one and it was negative and I was bummed then I just took another one a week later to be sure and it was positive ! I’m due this month lol
I got my first very faint line at 8dpo ( 8 days past ovulation)
Clearly noticeable and detected by digital at 10dpo.
Goodluck.
My periods are way to irregular for the apps. So when I found out that im pregnant I waited until I missed my Period. I ended up missing 2 periods before testing and now I’m almost 27 weeks pregnant with my son
I unintentionally got pregnant and now that I know more of the signs (it was my first pregnancy) I had them all before I was actually late. Mine were a migraine, UTI, some nausea (I thought was migraine related), food aversion, extreme tiredness like I couldn’t get enough sleep, and very moody.
You can have phantom pregnancy where you want it so bad your body will begin to show signs. Stress can make conceiving hard. Don’t focus on dates or tests id wait until a week after your scheduled period before testing

I tested + the day my period was due with my 5th baby. I’d say wait till your period is due at least to test. Or until you’re late.
To early but also take into consideration apps are just a guesstimate on when you ovulate, when I actually started tracking my app was a whole week out from when I actually did.
4-6 weeks from the 18th
The earliest that the pregnancy tests can pick something up is 4 weeks. The line will be very faint, but as you get further along (5-6 weeks) the line will be darker.
I always get a positive around day 11
Cheap ones & digital ones
I’d call your OBGYN, you should be able to go in and get a blood test to confirm.
I also had heart burn, nausea & throwing up before I ever tested with all 3.
I took three tests 3 days after sex, two were negative and one was positive, so I went to a doctor and they did a blood test but it still wasn’t completely positive but they said to take it as a positive because there is definitely some hormone developing thus the near positives 
Wait until after missed period.

The apps are not always accurate. I Used the app for 4 months no luck, with 1 false positive 
(I was 8 days late) got blood work done and it was negative. The next cycle i.used ovulation strips and found out the app was a few days off. Next month I was positive! I had texted 5-6days before my missed period and it was POSITIVE!
Too early. Wait until you miss your cycle

Well 1st of all you don’t necessarily ovulate when your app prediction is. You can actually ovulate anywhere in your cycle. With that said it takes 6-12 days for implantation to occur. That would be when your hcg starts rising. Take your test with 1st morning urine. Get a basal body temperature thermometer and track it for your best ovulation prediction.
I took a test six days before my period was due and it was negative then I took one the morning I was supposed to start and got a positive.
Those could be PMS symptoms as well. I would test a week after a missed period.

Wait until your period is late then test
Your stressing about it to much. Your mind can actually make you have symptoms. It’s called ghost or phantom pregnancy. Something like that. I wouldn’t even stress or test until I’m late. Until then just breath.

I’d wait until the day your period is due to test. I personally didn’t have symptoms that early, but I believe your hcg levels might be too low to show a positive this early. 3 pregnancies and I didn’t have symptoms with any of them until after a positive test (all around 3 to 4 weeks).
As another person commented those could be signs of PMS as well - a week before my cycle I would have all of them and not once was I ever concerned about pregnancy - if it’s meant to be it will be but like others have said wait until you miss your cycle then test.
Most rest you need to wait 5 days before your missed period. Also its best to use the first pee of the morning!
With both my pregnancies I didn’t test positive till the day before my missed period. I also used the early detection tests that supposedly can detect up to 6 days before your missed period; they didn’t work that far ahead for me.
I found out when I was 6 weeks. I got bad Charlie horses in my calves and I couldn’t touch my boobs at all they hurt so bad
As soon as you get up in the morning and whenever you want too

Still pretty early! I tested positive the day of my missed one.
I found out I was pregnant with my son at two weeks, I would wait a few more days and then take it as soon as you wake up

Period and pregnancy symptoms are very similar. Always just wait til it’s time for your period and see if it comes or not.

I tested positive with my daughter exactly 11 days after the date of conception.( I was artificially inseminated so I knew the exact date and time I conceived)
The earliest I ever got a positive was 8 days past ovulation. 9 days past was way better lines tho.
I wouldn’t test until the day before your period or day it’s expected.
I had a feeling I was pregnant and tested 6 days before my period and test was negative. Tested 3 days after missed period and was positive, so was obviously too early to detect, even though i was. Maybe wait a few days and retest or give it a week and see if you miss your period and test then. Good luck

The best time to take a pregnancy test is when you think you might be pregnant.
Your overthinking this let nature take it’s course.
Take it in the morning that’s when you have the most HCG hormone.
It says on the test packet. Most accurate results are on the first expected day of your period.
Take one when you’re a day late and use your early morning pee. Like right when you wake up.
I always took a test after a couple weeks of being late. My periods have always had a mind of their own.

I’d wait till the day you are actually due for your period and do it first thing in the morning when your wee is more concentrated. Good luck!
You should wait few days. Even more then that and until the next period comes. If it won’t come it means you are pregnant and the test will definitely show positive. The way I found out is I realized I lost my period one month and then went to a doctors office and yes they brought the test saying I’m 8 weeks pregnant. 
I will never forget this. My daughter is 29. 
Breasts were painful.
Take the test early in the am when you first wake up.
I knew with in two weeks, just feeling. You should wait to take a pregnancy test until the week after your missed period for the most accurate result. But two weeks is good

Just wait til your due. That’s the easiest solution

probably too early…wait the the day your period is due and take another test
You might be able to with an early detection test. Otherwise maybe wait just a couple more days. With our baby I had the 28th, I took a test a few days before my period because I just had a feeling I was pregnant.
If you aren’t wanting baby get blood test as soon as possible. Don’t wait to see if you have a missed period if you don’t need to. If you are wait then see.
Wait 3 days after your missed period. I Took a test a week before my period and it was negative I took another test three days after it messed and it was positive
Take a test! My test showed positive after about 2 weeks! Two weeks before my missed period too!
I think it’s too early, wait until you are actually late and try again!! All the best x

Your brain works in mysterious ways. You are worrying about possibly being pregnant so it could be that you are making yourself feel this (unintentionally) or you’re pmsing. But if you really think you are it would be better to go to a doctor because not everyone is the same

I took a test when I was late on my period by two days and it was negative. Then I took one a week later and it was positive. I was about 6 weeks from conception. I think everyone is just different. Are you taking it first pee of the morning? That’s when your hormone levels are highest.

I was 9 weeks pregnant before a test picked it up with my 1st, doctors where convinced I would loose the baby but my daughter is 15 this year. I would wait till you have missed your period and test first thing in the morning. Good luck.

Being boy so don’t have idea
I would wait and see if you get your period. Those can all be signs of PMS as well, worrying about it could cause nausea and vomiting if your stressing… in my personal experience I’ve gone through all that, finally got my period and felt perfectly fine if not better that before.
I could also be wrong.
