Vvvfl?

i took a cheap pregnancy test last night. made sure it was in my urine stream for the 5 seconds and waited the allotted time. the line never showed up so i inverted it. i think i see some faint light lines on this, like the start of something, and will retest. Does anyone find it easier to pee in a cup and dip the stick in for 5 secs? i appreciate your feedback. i am 8dpo. AF due on 9/22.
