How pregnant am I?

Have no idea where to start with this one.

Had a normal period end of July. Dtd quite a bit around ovulation time I think.

Around 22 August I had what I thought was another period - heavy for two days (normal for me) but then on again-off again and more pink/brown for the remaining 4 days.

Didn't dtd again until much later that cycle - 12 September. Thought I had missed the boat.

Took a test on 21 September after next period failed to arrive. Very strong positive and 3+ weeks on Clearblue.

Could I be 8 weeks already?

Congratulations

There's really no way of knowing until you have a scan: some women do bleed like they are having a period during pregnancy, others don't. Some women will get a very strong due stealer BFP at a relatively early stage others will be staring at the faintest of lines.

The digital weeks tests are not always accurate so definitely don't take what that said as gospel.

I had an extremely strong line and genuinely thought I was either 8+ weeks or having twins. It was neither, I was only 6 weeks when I finally got a scan and there's only one in there

Thanks for your reply @sel2223!

Have booked an early reassurance scan for later this week. If we can't see anything, or there's a 8+ weeker, at least we will know for sure!
