I just felt like something was off so I took a test before my period was supposed to come and sure enough it read yes (2 more also read yes)! I went to a doctor who seemed very unprofessional and told me I wasn't pregnant. 6 weeks later I still felt off, even though I had an extremely light 2 day period, so I took another test. The test read yes so I went to a new doctor who confirmed the pregnancy. I had been pregnant the whole time!
The point is that tests (and doctors) can be wrong, and you need to listen to your body. Take another test, then see a doctor too!

Definitely take another test. While this doesn't mean you are pregnant, the only way to find out is to take another test. If this one comes back negative then that's a pretty good sign that you're not.
