Confused about pregnancy test

(Posting here as the pregnancy board can be quiet)

So I had a positive test last Thursday, tested the same night, with a different brand but using the same pee and imagine my surprise when it was negative.
Took a further 2 tests, different brands to the first test and still negative.
Used the same brand as the positive from last week, still positive

What the heck is going on

How are you getting on OP?

Still no period, I've ran out of tests as well now
Think I'm going to bite the bullet and get a digital. If it says negative, I'll wait for my period. I've tried for 24 hours to get a Dr's app but it's near impossible, I work 8am to 4.30pm but it's 5.30pm by the time I get home.
I really don't want to have to take time off just for a blood test
When I phoned the Dr's again this morning, they said I should contact a midwife 🤦‍♀️

I would check out whether your surgery subscribes to Livi or similar online GP service and, if they do, make an appointment with them. If they don’t then email the surgery, there should be a way to either request an appointment or explain the situation and request a blood test.

Unfortunately, it’s likely you’ll have to take the time off for at least 2 blood tests as surgeries rarely do afternoon blood test appointments unless they pay extra for a late courier service to take them to the hospital labs; usually the cut off point is around 1/2pm

I had the blood test done at 9.15am, still not period and I'm on cycle day 41 now
Clearblue digital was negative x

Flowers for you @TeddyisMydog.

I would really see if you can be seen by epu - just in case of ectopic. Sending lots of love x

So sorry xxx

If you had a very short-lived but def there faint positive then it was most likely a chemical, of which I have had many. False positives are rare. Implantation can happen and the embryo is rejected shortly after implantation usually due to chromosomal abnormalities. It’s very common unfortunately. 💐

Im in need of some kind of help here as my head is all over there place I had a few positive tests then some negative midwife says I'm just over 9weeks go off last period on the 11th of this month I take another test which shows a clear positive but when I have my bloods done it's showing I'm now pregnant?? What is going on with me? Anyone else had something like this before. The drs haven't been helpful at all

Best to start your own thread to get most attention but has no one recommended a scan? If you can afford one, and there is a centre near you, you could book in for a well woman appointment and explain to them what’s going on; this would show evidence of a pregnancy from around 5 weeks onwards.
