6 days late & a terrible faint line on the early test

Dear people.
I find myself in a weird situation, not like me.
My last period was from Nov 22 to Nov 26. I'm always spot on with my cycle; bleeding lasts exactly 4 days, preceded by about 3 days of light old blood discharge, and my total cycle is 25 to max 27 days.
So I should have gotten my period by Dec 18 at the latest, but it's already 6 days late.
I've done several tests. One day late, I did an early test from Action, negative. Three days late, a test at the GP, negative. Tested yesterday, negative. Tested this morning and at first I saw nothing. But not long after, I decided to study it a bit more and I seemed to see a terribly, terribly faint test line. It looked more like a dark shadow (with a purple tint, not gray) clearly in the place where the line should be.
I feel terribly hormonal (I feel terribly irritated and angry about the dumbest things), I have bouts of nausea, mainly late morning or early afternoon, I'm very hungry, I'm terribly exhausted these last few days, and my nipples are quite sensitive. I also have a lot of muscle pain in my uterus area, which is now coming in waves but was very strong and constant yesterday and the day before.
I don't understand anything anymore. Logically, I should be 14 days past ovulation by now, but still no signs of an impending period, and no thick positive test in hand yet.

Anyone with similar experiences? And how did it end? (Photo added of the same type of test with the same type of faint line, I can't get mine on camera properly, the camera won't focus)

    You'll get an answer if you keep testing. If there's still a faint line, you're obviously pregnant. Otherwise, it could also be that you had an implantation but it didn't go well, and you still had a little bit of hCG in your body. But you'll know for sure if you keep testing. Good luck!

    I see what you mean about the faint line, but I’d really like to see those lines for sure always outy:

    Indeed, keep testing as long as you haven’t had your period—you could still be pregnant. I once tested with this one from Action in March, 5 days late, and it was faintly positive. Unfortunately, it ended up being a miscarriage at 9 weeks. But I’ve also read plenty of stories where it turned out positive due to, say, late implantation.
