Positives test but AF came
On Sept 3rd I got a faint positive on a Walgreens brand test. On Sept 5th I confirmed it with a Clearblue Digital. On Sept 8th I started AF. I assumed I just got fake positives. But on Sept 17 I got this sudden back ache. Woke up the following morning with aches and a headache. It persisted allday. Its been 4 days and Its been the same. Could I be pregnant?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Or for how the faulty tests played with emotions. Either way.
For what it's worth I usually start having back pain around when I ovulate. Sept. 17th it looks like you'd be on CD9 so it's possible you were having some ovary pain as follicles matured and you approached ovulation. It isn't uncommon at all for me to have some pelvic, back and ovary pain for several days before I ovulate.
I also get hormonal migraines triggered by the elevated estrogen prior to ovulate. They typically start for me about a week before I ovulate. I know it isn't exactly uncommon for women to have migraines triggered by estrogen.
If you think you're pregnant you need to take a pregnancy test. If nothing else it would answer some questions and put your mind at ease. You may also want to pick up some OPKs and start using those as I suspect you may be approaching ovulation.
Best of luck!

So my doctor told me there is no such things as false positives! I just experienced a chemical pregnancy in August. I had the same thing you did. 3 positive tests the day my period was due with many many symptoms. 3 days later I felt it with every fiber of my being that I wasn't pregnant anymore. Mainly because I had a headache and dizziness I took 3 tests and they all came back negative. Went to the doctor and she confirmed through sonogram and blood test that I had a chemical pregnancy. AF followed with cramping headaches dizziness etc. I would definitely go to the doctor because there is also such a thing as implantation bleeding. If you can't get to the doctor maybe it is time for another test.
