could I still be pregnant or have I miscarried?

[BRYAS]

I had a positive pregnancy test this time last week. It was a shock so a few hours later I took another one which came back negative (I used the same type of test from the same brand).

The following day I took another test (different brand) which initially came back negative but after a few hours the test looked like it changed to positive (a very faint line).

The following day I started cramping and bleeding. I have since had four days of period level bleeding which required me to regularly change my sanitary products (this is also the time of month I would be due my period).

Throughout this four day period I have taken a total of 6 tests, all of which have come back negative (one of them did again change to a very faint positive after a few hours but was negative in the 10 min timeframe the tests suggested to look, I have also read about evap lines?)

the most recent test was and stayed negative. Could I still be pregnant or have I miscarried? Or was I maybe never pregnant to begin with and the first test a false positive?

Thank you in advance

It was probably a false positive. The only way to be certain is to see your GP.

this is probably a false alarm, you should only read the tests after the allotted time as this is the true reading.

Hopefully if you are trying to conceive it will happen soon

This happened to me at the very early stages: a positive them negative test. I even went to a clinic to get a confirmation but when they tested it came up negative but then a little bit later it came up positive.

I would say that you were pregnant and were in the very early stages but with the amount of bleeding I would likely say you had a miscarriage I'm afraid.

Are you actively trying to get pregnant. If so, it's God's way of saying right now isn't the time, but you will go onto to have a successful pregnancy when the time is right.

I believe you could ask the doctor for an hcg blood test to confirm. Contact them to find out what is advised. From what I understand you wouldn't typically get false positives but it's probably possible. Since you had bleeding it sounds like you could have had a pregnancy loss or maybe just irregular period
