What on Earth is happening?

So, today I’m on cycle day 12, however my last period was quite light compared to normal and I was having a few pregnancy type symptoms after the period, to the point I said to my husband, if I hadn’t of just had a period I would think I might be pregnant. Anyway, at the min I’m roughly around the time of ovulation and I just found a cheapy pregnancy test in the bathroom so thought I would do it (4pm so not first wee) and it’s come back with a faint positive?

If I were already pregnant before the light period, surely it would be darker? But I couldn’t be pregnant from this cycle as only just ovulation now? So can ovulation cause a faint positive or is it a dodgy test? Anyone experienced this before? X

No, ovulation doesn't cause a pregnancy test positive....it does the other way around. I'd nip out and get a pregnancy test asap!! Those cheap pregnancy tests arent usually as sensitive as they make out.🤞🏻🤞🏻xxx

I’m worries it was too much of a cheapy and giving false hope. Will have to get some tests tomorrow and see 🤞🙏 xxx

It's always a horrible thought getting a negative so completely understand the fear. I really hope you get good news!xx

Yeah I’m going to get some after work. I had EW mucus on Monday night too which I don’t think I would have if I were pregnant would I? X
