Dear Kay,
I would strongly recommend you take a urine home pregnancy test. Take one tomorrow morning first thing when you get up (with your concentrated urine) and, if your first test comes back negative, then wait a week and take another one. It’s going to be the only easy way to know for sure if you are actually pregnant or not.
Are you on any form of regular birth control medication or was a condom being used?
Best of luck,
Hannah

I don’t think that line on your stomach should show up until the third trimester of pregnancy.

Sometimes the line shows up early depending on heritage. But I have a 6 year-old from a man who told me he couldn’t have kids. Sometimes men (especially older men) believe if they’ve never fathered a child before that there must be something wrong and then proceed as if they can’t. My son proved his dad wrong.
Get a pregnancy test and go from there. Most health departments will do them for free or a small fee.
