Two positive pregnancy tests and three negatives

Hello everyone.
I don't know how to feel but i had some sort of pain in my stomach. After all examinations and some discussions the GP did my pregnancy test there and then. It came positive but we aren't quite sure so we did another there and it also came positive.
GP mentioned it could be ectopic pregnancy. And i don't know how to feel about it. She said go home and do another test. Which i did and it came negative and after that i have done two more and they came negative.
I still do have pain in stomach but i dont know what to do. She said go to A&E if your test come positive. Plz anyone who has gone through this experience plz share.

Should I Trust These Tests?

So I dont know if I should trust these tests. I keep getting a colored second line. Doesn't even look like an evap. I keep getting these lines on my test and I dont know if it's the brand or what. I've never gotten evap lines that looked colored to me before. What do you all think?

Pregnancy tests

Pregnancy tests are getting darker but I have very little symptoms. the darkening lines mean that everything should be progressing, right? Would they get darker if there was an issue? Stressed!

Clear blue weeks indicator

Hello! I just got my positive 2 days ago on clear blue saying 1-2 weeks and done one today and still 1-2 weeks. Im about 4 weeks today. Is that normal? Sorry im stressing out as i’ve had a loss last year then 2 chemicals after so very on edge!

Late period negative test

I’ve been pretty on point for the past several months, last month is was super short. According to my phone app my period was supposed to start last week but could be until the 7th before it starts. Guys I’m just freaking out. I wanna get another tattoo and my nose re pierced before we have another baby. Mentally im not ready, I was hoping to wait at least 6 more months before even trying again but if I do end up pregnant then it will be okay.

Group B strep

Has anyone ever tested positive for group b strep? A midwife just rang me and said I’ve tested positive for it but I was in such a rush when she called I barely processed a word she said.

These are definitely positive right?

I'm in disbelief and just want another opinion. This was definitely not planned. They are positive right? 8dpo

Is this a positive ?

It’s extremely faint!!
Fingers crossed it is!!

I have two babies 3 and under. Does this look positive?

This is my second test. And this appeared within the 3 minute window. Oh my goodness. GUYS 😭

I need some honest experiences because I’m a little anxious

I’m currently around 4–5 weeks pregnant. Earlier this week, I had a really clear positive test with a strong second line.

But today I took another test in the evening (same brand), and the line came out very faint, almost barely there. I did drink quite a bit of water before testing though.

Now I’m confused and honestly a bit scared.

Positive??

I tested for the last 3 days and got negatives with clear blue... Got a cheap Morrisons own brand test today and I definitely see a line!! Do you see it?? Do people trust cheap tests??

Is this positive?.

I've not been trying but just felt pregnant .... This would be baby number 3 and I'm a bit shocked!! Is this positive???

Positive or negative test Day 27

Hello! I’ve been TTC after 2 MC last year. My cycles have been 26 or 28 days. I tested this morning (day 27) and I see a faint line. Maybe it’s wishful thinking. I plan on retesting tomorrow morning and the wait is going so slow.

Had line eyes

Is it possible to get a positive test 10DPO?
I didn’t use my first pee because i wasn’t able to so should i just wait 2 days and try again?

Am I seeing what I think I see ?

Can anyone else see what I think I can ? No idea how many dpo as I have the coil in but I’ve been feeling a bit off for the last week, tested 2 days ago it was completely negative then had this this morning photo taken within time frame on a cheap test

4 weeks and 3 days

When are we stopping testing?
How is everyone feeling?
