Not sure if I’m pregnant?!

I went off the pill back in October and partner and I have been tracking my fertile window with an app. My cycle is a very regular 28 day cycle with period for about 5 days.

The app was telling me last week that I was at day 30 of my cycle without my period and that I should do a test the next day. I happened to have one lying around from a previous time I was late and scared myself so decided to just jump up and do one. It came back looking like a positive?!

Then an hour later I had some slight cramping and what I deemed to be my period came. Period only lasted 3 days and was quite light and the period pain was nowhere near as bad as normal. This got me panicking that it could have been a delayed implantation bleed. Is that even possible?

I did another pregnancy test 3 days later and it came back negative so I assume it actually was my period. Just wanted to see if someone more experienced understands why on earth I got a positive test? I assume this can just happen rarely and be wrong?

There are drops on the clear window and the dye has bled over to the left of the line so it could be that the test was flooded? This can give an inaccurate result.

Leaving the test longer than specified to read the test can also give a false positive/evap line.

Good luck for the future Flowers

Okay that would make sense and good to know! We are not ttc yet, just wanted to come off for a few months in the lead up to that point so all good!
