Answer
Dear Lena - the first thing is to see if you are really pregnant.  Repeat the test in one week.  Make sure to use the same test with two lines on it (not words). In one week, the test should be more obvious.  There should be two clear lines to show you are pregnant.
If you are, and you have more questions, let me know.
