The test paper color is very faint. Is the menstrual delay pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I took a pregnancy test a few days ago and it was negative, with a very clear red line. Today, the test line is a bit faint. My period is 11 days late. Can I confirm pregnancy? Should I consider an ultrasound?
First follow-up question: Initially, there was only one line, and it was very clear, which should mean I'm not pregnant. But this morning, I got a faint red line (still just one line) and took another test. The situation is the same. Can this confirm pregnancy? Is it still necessary to have an ultrasound?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, based on your description, the current early pregnancy test result shows a weak positive reaction, which indicates pregnancy. This may be due to the short duration of pregnancy, so the test result is not very clear. It is recommended to use morning urine for another test the next day to further confirm the pregnancy status.
