It sounds like a yes. The positive is fainter when the HCG (the pregnancy hormone the test is measuring) is low. In 2 - 3 days it will double. If you test again after that, it should get darker. Usually your OB/GYN will want you to come in for your first prenatal by 8 - 9 weeks, unless you have certain medical conditions (diabetes, high BP) but it can't hurt to schedule an appointment in advance and ask what you should doing, eating, drinking, vitamins, meds, etc. Good luck!

I took just a cheap test strip in the afternoon it came back negative, I'm so confused

Try a different test like First Response in 2 days. Each pregnancy has differing sensitivities to HCG (pregnancy hormone it's measuring) and every 2 -3 days the HCG should be doubling. There is a list of tests and their sensitivities on this site under the Pregnancy Test tab (top left). I don't know how many DPO you are but if it's a couple of weeks or more you could have had a chemical pregnancy if you spotted. There are no false positive pregnancy tests. Strips are easy to mess up too and it could be less sensitive than the clearblue.

I'm not sure how many days past I am, got a bit worked up I'm a week late then the test came up with a really faint positive line then took another the day after and it came up negative I've been told of a few people the cheap ones are the best I'm gunna leave it till Monday then do one at the doctors it's really got my hopes up

Sounds like a good plan! Good luck and keep in touch. I'm 6DPO so I have been checking off my symptoms each day. In 6 - 8 days I'll find out if I'm pregnant with number 2.

I will do hopefully I am fingers crossed been trying for nearly a year now and nothing

Fingers crossed! You'll be in my thoughts. Wishing you all the best/
