8 days late and negative tests! Could I be pregnant?

Hi all

I'm 8 days late and TTC, I had a very faint positive a week ago but out of the test window so think it may have been an evaporation line.

Before my period was due, I had a little bit of brown discharge when I wiped. Not normal for me and was not spotting. I expected my period after this but it never came.

I've been having cramping and pulling feelings, lower back ache which I don't usually get as a period symptom. Felt a bit nauseous one day too and had the craziest dream last night.

I've taken a range of pregnancy tests and they've all come back negative apart from the one I mentioned earlier. These include ultra early and a digital one I did today.

I really don't know what to think. I've been regular and can't think why I have missed a period. I took an ovulation test today and had a faint second line, not sure if that means it's negative?

There's twins in my family and triplets, I've heard you can get a hook effect with tests which can give a false negative if you're carrying multiples.

How long has it taken for people to get a positive test? Do you think I should see my doctor and get a blood test? Thanks

Forgot to mention, I've also been quite bloated, passing lots of wind and bottom of stomach is quite hard. Not sure if that's just from the bloating though
