positive or invalid?

i’m out of town in mexico and on BC, but not a perfect taker and will sometimes miss one day and have to double up the next day. i’ve been seeing a lot of posts where people are pregnant and considering the name we chose for if our first was a girl and my period (sometimes comes, sometimes doesn’t on BC) was 15 days late, and i started spotting on and off three days ago. I decided to take a test just because the baby name thing was getting in my head, but didn’t think it would be positive because we almost ALWAYS use condoms along with the BC, literally only don’t if we run out and even then we use pull out on top of the BC. this test took FOREVER for the urine to actually pass through the test, vs every test i’ve taken from in america goes through super fast. it says check test in 3-5 minutes, and at 3 minutes the urine had barely just gotten into the circle (control panel) now that it’s settled, there’s definitely a line but i can’t tell if it’s grey or pink. i feel like i see one little section with some pink in the middle of the line and the rest (in person and picture) looks grey to me. also the control line kinda just stops part way down. i’m going to retest, but wanting to have some opinions while i wait to pee again because i absolutely hated being pregnant and i love my baby so much and have just been fine with only having him. i would love the chance to get my girl but i don’t even think going through another pregnancy feels worth it to me given how perfect my life feels with just me, husband, and baby boy. when i tested positive with him i was so excited and shaking, and i feel like im just dreading this being a positive test and going through 9 more months of misery and body changes😭

update and we did run and grab a first response and some clearblues. i was crying and panicking and went ahead and took the first response after 2 hours and its fully negative, no question about it. i do recognize that this could be that i didnt wait long enough. my spotting is also heavier right now and i peed in a cup for that one, the urine was super colored from how much blood was in it (almost a dark peach) so idk if too much blood can have an effect or not. i’m still going to test tomorrow morning, but based on last period i’d be 7 weeks (which i didn’t pay attention to until after this post), so i don’t think it would be that i’m too early to test. my first i tested positive at 3w2d (we were trying and tracking) i did also mention to husband it would be sad but we should be prepared for the possibility of a miscarriage because of the bleeding

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
