Can’t make sense of this…

So I had my last period 27th August that lasted a week (it came on the exact date it was due) I did a pregnancy test the day before my period which came back negative (one of the 6 days early test) period Ended 3rd August. Had a smear test 4th August. Had spotting on12th August did another pregnancy test which came back positive (saying 2-3weeks) last intercourse was 17th July. I can’t wrap my head around how it is possible I am pregnant…I’m assuming what I thought was my period was infact a miscarriage…however would I still be testing positive this long after a possible miscarriage? My Dr seems to think I got pregnant along the time of my period, even though intercourse was 10 days prior. I’ve been told all I can do is wait a week and do another test which is just torture waiting a week to find out which way this is going 😫 anyone had any similar experience?

Hmmm if the last time you had sex was 17th July, it would seem like you're 7 weeks pregnant but it's weird that you had a period. So that could be a chemical pregnancy but again strange that you had a negative test the day before your period. If it is a miscarriage, the HGC levels can stay in your blood for weeks, mine did. I'd request a female doctor (assuming he was male) and ask them to take your blood to check your levels and again in 48 hours to see if they're rising and you're pregnant 🥰or if not, then a miscarriage 💔

I hope you get some answers soon xx

Also was it a clear blue digital? As 2 to 3 weeks actually means 4 to 5 weeks pregnant as they count it from your last period but the test doesn't x

Thanks ❤️I’m guessing it’s the later, as this is the second time it’s happened. And both times the Drs do not want me to go and have blood tests to get an answer, so frustrating. I don’t know how they expect women to just sit about for more than a week to find out 🫠 I’ll call again and be more persistent x

Also, if it is the latter, at 3 you can request progesterone. That's how I got my 🌈 she's a progesterone baby after 3 early MCs. Sending support xx

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
