Pregnancy Test's Results Not Reliable. How Can I Know If I'm Pregnant?

hi, i am 22 years old, i have a two year old daugter. we are now ttc # 2, i am pretty sure i am pregnant, 13 dpo with lots of symptoms that ive never had, even with my first pregnancy. yesterday i took a cheapish pink dye pregnancy test 4 days before my expected period. with this test, if the result window is blank your not pregnant, a single verticle line amd you are. my result window was blank :( how ever two hours later i noticed it reading positive, with a very pink, thin line. is there any chance its accurate? (i do still believe im pregnant, as i am very in tune with my body, and the signs are there)

hi,
the result of the test should be read within the prescribed period, after that it will give false positives,
anyhow as urine pregnancy test kits are less sensitive in early pregnancy, you better go for blood test for pregnancy which can find out the possibility of pregnancy,
meanwhile you continue to take folic acid, multi vitamin and mineral tablets.
take care.
