Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone, have been ttc since November. Got pregnant straight away in November but I ended up with a mmc in February at 11 weeks. Broke our hearts.
Took a few week break and period came back on 8th of March. Started ttc this cycle.
I had light spotting on 20th of March & again after dtd 3rd of April.
I have a feeling I'm pregnant, don't know why - started testing
4/4 negative
5/4 positive on a clearblue digital 1-2 weeks @ 12pm. Negative in evening.
6/4 negative fmu
7/4 negative fmu

I am due my period tomorrow and getting some light cramping today and feeling quite wet. I know I've read it's rare to have a false positive but I can't forget the fact I have had a few negative tests after a positive. I just don't understand it. I still feel pregnant.

Another thing to add is on the 4/4, I woke up in pain with cramps under my breasts, felt dizzy and hot, ended up vomiting in middle of the night.

Is it possible I am still pregnant or did I have a chemical pregnancy? Anyone else have this experience who can help please?

Hi love! I can’t exactly help but I cannot believe how similar our stories sound! In November I fell pregnant straight away. Ended in January at 10 weeks MMC! My last period was 10th March. Now I am having positive pregnancy tests, but they are so faint barely changing since Tuesday now. Scared to do a clear blue just yet incase of false hope. My period is due tomorrow I really hope I don’t see my period this week. What pregnancy tests have you been using ?

Wow really? So nice to find someone who went through the same thing. Sounds so similar.

I have been using clearblue digital 6 day early, clearblue weeks indicator & clearblue strip tests. Clearblue are the only brands I can find in any shop/pharmacy in my local town, first response seem to be gone off the market.

I just can't believe I have been getting so many negatives after getting our hopes up on Friday.

I can't handle anymore losses. What tests have you been using?

Hi OP, did you use the same type of test for each test?

Hi!

I have been using all clearblue but different types. I did use the same one I got a positve result on and got a negative on it.

I'm afraid it doesn't look good for me.

Ah I see, it does seem like if it was only 1 positive with the others being negative that it may have been a faulty test then. You’re not out until your period arrives though! Maybe wait 2 days and then test again if still no period, in theory HCG doubles every 48 hours if pregnant and so by 2 days past due you would expect a very obvious positive. Good luck & I have my fingers crossed for you x

I had a very faint positive line after the maximum time for it to "develop". I mean so faint that you really had to squint to see it. I waited 24 hours and retested with a similar result. I only ended up getting a clear positive days later. I conceived very late in the cycle and that is why it was so faint. Mind you, this was a few days after an appointment with a specialist who told me I wasn't ovulating, had fluked my first baby and even showed me the egg that had never launched magnified on-screen. I had taken my temperature every day and it hadn't peaked or done anything at all other than stay steady. I had also used two ovulator predictor kits to cover more days and they didn't show anything positive either. He pointed out my age was against me and prescribed clomid which I never got to take. Well obviously despite all that an egg must have launched like a speeding scud missile because the baby is 22. (There are lots of twins in my mother's family which might explain an extra egg.)
