2 negstive tests few days after missed period too early to have tested?

All a bit odd and wondering if any advice?

In short we are trying to conceive and exactly a week before my period was due i had a very light, dark to light pink, on & off bleed that stopped dead on day 3, but i passed 1 clot. Week later period due, absolutely no symptoms, no (sorry for TMI) heavy bright red bleeding with lots of clots, which would be normal for me.

I did a test 3 & 5 days past when period due, both negative, yet still no 'normal' for me bleeding at all.
Was it maybe too early for me to have tested, or possible i had a very unusual for me light & out of sync period?

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I don't know when i should test again if i should, or if i should try to wait it out to see if any bleeding happens between now and next month.

Thanks in advance for any advice

@kell2116 it was grey almost clear non coloured if you get what i mean, which although i miscarried in the past, is the same as when i tested to early before, but got a slightly stronger faint line, if that makes sense, which addds to my confusion.

@Coffeebrew I can def see the line you're referring to. What colour is it IRL?

I am more confused now than ever. I took your advice @crazychemist about testing again, only it's been 4 days since the last time i tested, a week since the first test. I don't bother with expensive tests anymore, just the strips. I nearly threw the strip away thinking it was negative, but for some reason i looked again. I don't know if i am seeing something so faint most would write it off, but if you slightly zoom in on the picture (you have to to see what i mean it is so faint) , you can obviously see the pink line on the right, the edge of the shiny strip on the left and inbetween the T & the O of the background (the only thing that didn't give me a shiny glare lol) there is what possibly looks like a very faint line, that most would probably miss it. What does anyone else think? Thanks in advance.

@crazychemist thanks for your reply. We most definitely are trying to conceive with several miscarriages via IVF and now for some reason naturally. We have been advised to try again naturally now we do seem to conceive, with added support via our gynecologist if we do get pregnant. Hence why this odd out of character bleed is foxing me.

It could be implantation bleeding, or it could be an anovulatory cycle (where your body just skips ovulating, and you don’t get a proper period). They happen every now and then, if you weren’t trying to ttc you might think nothing of it. Give it a week and then test again, if it’s still negative I’m afraid you’re not pregnant. Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like you tested too early.
