Help with dates!!

Hi,
Ive just had a positive pregnancy test and am totally confused about my dates - I'm hoping someone might have some ideas... my cycle has been all over the place since my miscarriage in January.

My last proper period was 11th feb, I had a negative pregnancy test on 15th march and then some spotting for a few days from 21st march and now a positive pregnancy test. I can't believe I've been pregnant since feb, given when I got the negative test but it's surely too soon to show up if it was march..I should only just be ovulating!

Well my last period started on feb 13th, I ovulated on feb 26th and am 7+ weeks pregnant now. If your period ended on 11th why did you test on 15th? You couldn't have ovulated and had two week wait in 4 days!

Did you put the first day of your last period into a due date calculator to work out your dates?

Either - spotting was implantation bleed. Or, you ovulated really late in feb, test didn't pick up the pregnancy, you had some light spotting as can often happen in early pregnancy. Have you tried using a clear blue with the weeks indicator?

Congratulations op!! My guess would be spotting in March was implantation bleeding but only one way to find out and that's your dating scan. I imagine if you tell Dr's/ midwives your story they will arrange a scan soon to see how far along you are!!
