Hi everyone

My story short is that mid february i stoppedtaking my birth control pills, the first cycle after that was nothing, the 2nd cycle chemical pregnancy (hcg was 25 then 23 then declining have had lots of positive tests around 12dpo )

I was tracking ovulation by clearblue digital test and i have got the clear blue solid smiley clearblue test on may the 3rd or the 4th in the morning (totally forgot which one of those days)
My cycle is regular lasts 28 days but last month i had a chemical pregnancy and my period came like 5-6 days later so also confused on what the cycle will be this time (with chemical i had symptoms breast tenderness etc i just knew there was something, now i feel nothing)
But since i received clearblue solid smile on day 13tg-14th i guess its same 28 days just shifted
When should it show on clearblue advanced (early) if im pregnant? Today is may 14th and its negative. Means im out most likely? Just to hear opinions

Thanks

My cycle was totally back to normal after my chemical, even though my HCG stayed high for about 3 weeks.

I would go by days past ovulation (dpo) for pregnancy test. So generally LH peak is ~24 hours before ovulation (this does vary by person but as a generalisation), let's say you ovulated on the 5th. You're only 9dpo so very early to test positive, so not out at all. You can look up the percentages of testing positive if actually pregnant on each dpo, and 9 hardly anyone does. Most test positive by 12dpo.
