Pregnancy test

I took a test yesterday morning (supermarket own brand) and there was a faint line and a test this morning (clear blue non digital) and it was negative. Has anyone experienced this? I’m currently 2 days late according to flo but still within my ‘normal range’ until tomorrow

Am I crazy or is this positive? I had big fat negatives for the last 3 days!

But also been feeling pregnant too

Can this even be possible? I thought I had a slightly faint line this morning on a boots brand test. These are ultra early tests taken with different urine one is positive and one I can’t even see a faint line on?

Embryo Transfer - 15 day wait for Test.

Did anyone test early and get a positive reading? If so, how early?

Positive pregnancy

I’m 4 weeks and 6 days according to my last period, this is an early detection test but I am about 3 days after my period, this strong line is it normal for this time of month or could it be twins?

Negative tests

I guess I’m just being hopeful

I ovulated on the 18th July - my period is due 31st July my cycles usually 30/31 days - - > I did a ultra sensitive cheap pregnancy test now (4pm ish I know I should of waited) but I take it … it’s highly highly unlikely I’m pregnant as it was negative … :( or has anyone had false negatives this close to your period due date ?

Very early positive???

Please help!! Can’t tell if I’m seeing things..

Testing

I am 7 weeks 5 days & randomly decided to do a test today. I saw baby & heartbeat at 6 weeks and stopped testing then. The test I did was a dip stick one. The test line was really light!? I am of course now in a panic. Should never have done the test, but anyone else done this before and everything turned out to be fine?x

Advice

I ovulated on the 14 of July. I had a faint positive pregnancy test on the 25th. Now pregnancy tests are negative and I had small bleed when I went to the toilet but nothing since. I’m due on today and Always a day early and when I start my period it’s heavy and doesn’t stop and start
