How Can One Confirm The Credibility Of A Pregnancy Test Result?

I took a $1 home pregnancy test 5 days before my period that returned a positive result. Could it be a false positive. I am 40 years old. I have taken no medications except for prenatal vitamins and folic acid. I am not taking and have never taken fertility drugs.
