Invalid test?

I did a test around an hour ago I thought it was “ invalid” as there was a line on the t section but nothing on the control side. Totally forgot about it then went back to it about 40 mins later and there was two lines? Would this be positive or still “invalid” Other test photo in comment section

Pregnant!

The little test line was very faint last week. After several miscarriages was cautious to even think. But after a full week of being late, the line has gotten darker :). When do I call me doctor to make an appointment. I know I don’t see them till 8-10 weeks. But do I call now? It’s only 4 weeks?

Has it happened to you?

Hey, I’m 3 days late and still have a negative test. I’m sure I see a faint line, veerrryyyy faint though, barely visible more of a “vibe”. It hasn’t progressed… I’m wondering if I have major line eyes OR if anyone has been three days late and tested somewhat negative and ended up pregnant???

Ovulation confusion

Hi , so a little confused as my natural cycles app and Premom says that today I should test. This time last month CD16 I was getting darker tests, but the test I took this morning was really low (see picture attached) I’m a little confused (and worried!) Has anyone had anything like this? Or does anyone have advice ?
