BFP but I’m so confused!

Hi ladies - really hope someone can help or has had similar experience…

We have been ttc for 2 years now. We had a MC in 2020 and have been trying again since then.
Did a test on 4th Feb (cd26) as this has been end of my cycle for last 6 months or so and was BFN!
Period arrived next day and lasted normal 4-5 days.
Then started spotting on 15th and 16th Feb, some mild cramps, etc. I don’t usually get any cramping around ovulation, and never any spotting mid cycle but I assumed it was ovulation related as felt it was too soon to be implantation (only cd 11/12)

But…when the cramping didn’t stop after a few days, I did a test and got BFP on cd14
Rang my doctor and he said to monitor the cramping and go to A&E if it gets severe or if I start bleeding in case it may be ectopic as it’s on one side.

Basically I’m sitting here doubting that I’m pregnant and desperately trying to stay away from the pregnancy tests as I’ll go off my head comparing lines!

Has anyone else tested positive this early in their cycle?

Can you book in for bloods with your GP? I had a normal period (or so I thought), and I got a BFP about a week after my period finished. It was several positive OPKs that made me think to do a test. I don't know why I had a period. I was pregnant during that period, I had tested before that period and gotten BFNs. It thankfully wasn't ectopic but did end in MC. Sorry I don't want to be a bitch/ downer.

You may have ovulated super early, I would get bloods done 48hrs apart to see what your HCG levels are.

@FiftyStoriesHigh the lines are pretty strong.
I did one in the evening and one the following morning, which I see as a bit darker but I’m fully aware I have the crazy brain of a woman who has been ttc for so long!

My GP says if it’s a BFP then take it that I’m pregnant, and that if I have ovulated very early, it is possible to be pregnant.

I suppose I’m just anxious and doubting. The cramps have stopped but I still feel the odd twinge! And I’m scared every time I need to use the toilet in case I’m bleeding

How strong is your test? It’s not an exact science but should be some indication.
