Help, got a faint line with cheap tesco test!

Hi girls, please could you help.
I've been ttc since April and so far my cycles have been: 36d, 34d, and I was expecting af around the 15th of July.
Did a superdrug test on the 16th (stupid I know, should have waited) and BFN.
I've been having period pains (not severe) every day since tuesday, and at one point I was just convinced that af arrived until I went to the toilet to check.
Bought a Tesco test today (admitedly very cheap) and got nothing in the window to begin with and after a minute or 2 a very faint line. I wanted to keep it to show DH to see what he thought but there would have been no point as they tell you to discard it after 10 min as a line could appear without meaning you are pregnant (which is what happened today, the line went bright pink after about an hour but was definately not that colour to begin with.)
My question is: Is it possible that because the test is cheap (2 for about a fiver), a faint line would appear even if you are not pg because you have to read it within the minute? Thanks for your help girls.
Sorry if I'm being thick
