Never got a peak this cycle. But also didnā€™t start testing til CD12 so I donā€™t know if I ovulated before. Not sure whatā€™s going on.

Confused

I was supposed to get my period on Saturday, I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Iā€™ve been spotting off and on when I wipe, bland pregnancy tests are still negative. I had a miscarriage back in march. Could I still be pregnant?

Hi all, last week I took 2 tests which were both positive 1-2 weeks according to clearblue but now approaching 5 weeks 5 days since my last period and I havenā€™t started with any symptoms yet so it hasnā€™t sunk inā€¦

I only did the 2 tests and I havenā€™t done anymore yet keep seeing online people that do them every week, but I think they are so expensive for what they are and wonder if it is really worth doing them week by week?

Tested again this morning (2) and the line hasn't changed much. Hoping this is what I think it is after 12 months of ttc. What...

4-5 days til expected period

I took a test this morning and I swear thereā€™s a faint line, took one again in the afternoon and itā€™s negative. Was the morning one just a fluke?
