Period is 15 days late now! Took a test about 3/4 days ago and i thought i saw a VERY faint line but kept looking and im sure i was just seeing things. Should i keep waiting the test again?.... Boobs sore on the sides near my armpit and increased discharge.

Are you sure you are 15 days late? Did you track your ovulation with OPK or BBT? I would assume you ovulated either much later than usual, or maybe had an anovulatory cycle. With 15 days late you should see a very clear positive.

I tracked my cycle on an app i downloaded and i had some spotting about 2 weeks ago so if i was pregnant im just assuming i could have implanted late? I always have my cycle to same as my sisters and hers came mine didnt :/

Unfortunately it is not possible to track ovulation just with an app. They just give you an indication or estimation when you could ovulate, based on your average cycle length and an average 14 day luteal phase. Implantation can happen as late as 12dpo, but not later than that, it is physically not possible. But it is absolutely possible to ovulate either later - because maybe you were ill, stressed or introduced a new vitamin into your diet for example, or you did not ovulate at all this cycle. This happens every now and then and is nothing to worry about. If that happend, you will just end up with a super long cycle.

I disagree about it being "very clear" at so-and-so many days after the missed period. It doesn't matter how faint it is, a line is a line. Having a faint line doesn't mean you're "less pregnant" or not pregnant, compared to someone who gets a darker line. I always had faint lines on mine even when retesting at various stages during the first trimester, mine were barely perceptible, but definitely there if you looked in the right light. If there's a line, you're pregnant. False positives are very unlikely.

Here is some useful information about faint lines on pregnancy tests. It could be that you're simply very well hydrated so the hormone levels in your urine are more dilute.

True @Snowisfallinghere , that happens to some. But even then it would be - allthough very faint - a visible line, not one that you are not sure if it is really there or not.

Another tip which helped me is to take a photo of the test and then use my phone to increase the saturation and contrast on the photo. That way you can see the line better. This also works on COVID lateral flow tests 😛
