Could I be pregnant

my period was 6 days late and during the second day I noticed a tiny bit of spotting when I wiped and that was it. It was odd to me because I was due to have my period. On the 7th day I got what I thought was my period rather than implantation because my blood is bright red and medium flow. I had constant mild cramping across my lower abdomen which was a little odd because my period cramps don’t usually stay in one place. I started have this pinching pain in my back, lower stomach and side of stomach. also had stretching feeling in my ribs and lower stomach. I took a pregnancy test thinking it would be negative but it actually showed a faint line within seconds on both test I took! So confused because I thought I was having my normal period. I’m gonna wait a few more days and test again because the line is pretty faint. Today I noticed my bottom gums are red and I know that’s a sign of pregnancy so I’m just crossing my fingers!

These tests look positive to me @Anonymous2004 ! Sorry I've no idea about the bleeding other than I have heard other cases where people are sure they had a period and turned out to be pregnant

Looks positive to me

@Anonymous2004 its definitely positive. Back in January I had what I thought was a period but it must have been implantation bleeding as it turned out I was pregnant. Unfortunately the pregnancy wasn't viable and I had a MMC at 8 weeks but I've been told that the bleeding wasn't related to it. Keep testing and the line should get darker

There looks to be something there but at a week late on your period there should be a clear line. You may have ovulated late though. I’d check again in a couple of days and see if there is a darker line. These tests are quite sensitive so should be showing a clear line and the one looks a bit odd like it’s curved.

I don’t think those tests look right and you should have a much clearer line at this stage unless you ovulated late.

I’d try again in a couple of days with another brand of test.

My period was a couple days late then i got my period. I noticed that i was having different cramping pain across my lower stomach for about 2 hours. I got this pricking pinching and aching pain in my lower left side of stomach. I also got the same pain in my lower back. My bleeding has been going on for three days and the first day was medium flow and yesterday and today are light flows. My blood is very much red but no clots so it’s so confusing for me to tell what’s going on. I decided to take a pregnancy test because I read some stories about people who had implantation bleeding and thought it was just there period. I took two clear blue test yesterday and they had a very faint line within three seconds of testing. This morning I took another one and the same thing happened. I can’t tell what color the line is though. I don’t know what to think because my flow doesn’t sound like implantation. Can my period blood be the reason why the test has a faint? I also noticed last night that my gums were red and now today they are very red. I know it could be a symptom of pregnancy.

@Anonymous2004 I don't want to get your hopes up too much but my "period"which I thought was full blown for 5 days) was definitely implantation bleeding as I tested positive 1 week later and went on to hold pregnancy for 8 weeks. It's such a minefield though, unfortunately you're best bet is to keep testing and go to doc for hcg test. I'd recommend referral to epau too due to the uncertainty of it. Fingers crossed for you 🤞
