Am I pregnant? Needing advice please as my head is going wild?

[Lynnmccn]

So basically in October me and my partner decided we were going to start trying for a baby so I came off contraception. I had a period in November and then in December we had a positive pregnancy test. Unfortunately we miscarried the baby in December shortly after we found out we were pregnant (known as a chemical pregnancy). We started trying again straight away as we want a child desperately. I had a period again in January after the miscarriage and now I'm due my period again this week. I took a pregnancy test two days ago (6 days before my period) and today (4 days before my period). I know you shouldn't really take a test before your period but I'm becoming so impatient as we want this so much :( anyway.. the faintest line has shown. I don't know if I'm imagining it as we want it to be positive so desperately so basically I'm just writing this hoping for some advice and if anyone has ever been in the same position? I would attach photos of the tests but I'm sure you can on this?
TIA!

Sorry @GreenTulips there is no paperclip option on mine :(

As horrible and hard as it is your only option really is to wait another five days at least and then test again. I've had both missed miscarriages and a chemical one. I understand how they really mess with your head. You could be pregnant, you might not be, it might be a chemical pregnancy. No-one has any way of knowing until after your period due date. Even if it's faint, you'll still have to wait. It's so hard waiting I know.

If there's people you can spend your time with then do that or get stuck into a big task you've been putting off. Something to try and take your focus off it for a bit.

Fingers crossed it's the positive you want. If not then it really is very early days of ttc and it might happen soon.

Sorry this isn't that helpful but unfortunately it's just a case of toughening it out for a few more days and then you can know for sure. Good luck

@EnidButton I know, you're right! It just feels like the longest wait ever :( sorry to hear you've had missed miscarriages and chemical ones - its a horrible experience and really does mess with your head. If you don't mind me asking, have you had a successful pregnancy? I'm so worried that even if we are pregnant the same will happen as last time :(

Your story sounds SO similar to mine! Think you need to join the conception chats, Feb bench! Although it sounds like it’s a positive. I know how hard it is.
Just try your absolute best to distract yourself as much as you can or you’ll drive yourself mad.

Keep us posted and good luck! It’s a mad rollercoaster xxx

@Blackbelt what is your story please? It's driving me insane!! you're right it is a rollercoaster xx

Been trying since June although oh suggests we've been doing it more 'properly' since October. December I tested when I was 3 days late and got a very paint positive. I'd always got negatives so to have something gave me the shakes 😂
Then I only got negatives after (but on different brands) but my period was still late and had symptoms. I went around believing i was pregnant for about a week until af came. I'm usually like clockwork so was devastated and i was much heavier than usual, you could tell it was old blood with lots of clots (sorry tmi)

January was 3 days late but i refused to test because i didn't want to know if i was pregnant and af came. Was gutted. I hadn't processed the chemical in my head so that hit me hard. I sort of felt like it was a trial run, first time I had proof I could actually get pregnant because its our first and we are older.

This month I will try not to test until am a week late. I've sorted my head out better because I knew I would drive myself crazy and struggle with my mental health. I'm not feeling hopeful for some reason which makes me think I probably am not :(
