Didn't Had Intercourse Since Periods. Pregnancy Test Shows Faint Line. Possibility Of Pregnancy Or Fault In Kit?

I took pregnancy test before I got my period and it is negative.I already got my period last month in the last week of October .. But when i take a cheap home pregnancy test in the 2nd week of November it shows a very very paint line. But i haven't have intercourse after I got my period .. was it only because the kit that I buy is cheap ? or was there any possibility that I'm pregnant ?

Hi, the chance of being pregnant is nil without intercourse. This may be false positive.
The urine pregnancy test will show positive only after around 15 days of ovulation period or after 1 missed period at which point the urine HCG level will be enough to show the UPT positive.

Hope this helps you.
