Pregnant or not?

Hello everyone, I'm feeling rather down and anxious, I don't know what is going on with my body and thought you guys might be able to shed some light? I am currently 8 days late, very sore nipples, which I have never had during normal monthly cycle only when pregnant. My periods are not that regular, usually between 30-34 days. I took test Thursday and was faint positive 😁 however wanted to confirm as never had a such a faint line before, and 2 yesterday came back negative 🤷🏼‍♀️ still have the feeling I am pregnant and no bleeding but some minor cramps in the night. My husband has last night told me he thinks it's a phantom pregnancy?! Firstly I didn't know what that was, but guess he's been googling! So firstly anyone had a faint positive that was a false positive? Secondly anyone had this and gone on to have a confirmed pregnancy? Thirdly anyone had a phantom pregnancy and have any explanation why it happened? I would like another child but if doesn't happen I'll be content with what I have, I don't feel I am depressed or mentally unwell, just fed up of this situation like the rest of the population, although when I thought I was pregnant with faint positive, I did panic slightly, worrying this is not a great time to bring a baby into the world. Sorry for long post, I hope someone can help me, I just want to know one way or another. Thanks

It would be difficult to say for sure but I would guess at a chemical pregnancy. That is a pregnancy where you do conceive but it stops progressing very early on. This would explain a faint positive test followed by negatives.

In a chemical pregnancy your period will often be a bit delayed as the HCG has to drop low enough to allow your period to begin.

I would expect your period to arrive soon if you've had a couple of negative tests.

I hope you get a definitive answer soon! 🙂

Thank you @Curiosity101 you may be right. Still no sign of period, but did another test this morning and again got faint positive, however it has now faded away but on the first test the positive line is still visible. Guess I will just have to test again in a few days if no bleeding. Anyone know how long it takes for bleeding to start or if there can be any complications from this if it is cp?
