Could I be pregnant?
So, 5 days before my period was due I started spotting. It went on for 5 days on and off. Iv been having lower backache, cramps, nausea and fatigue. I took a pregnancy test the day after my period was suppose to show and got a very faint line. I waited until 5 days after my missed period and got a faint positive on a clear blue but today the faint line is barely visible. I took a digital test with the same sample and it said I'm not pregnant. Really confused as to what this all means. Still no sign of period and still having symptoms

Each brand of test has a different sensitivity to measuring hcg. Early detection tests are usually around 14 units, the average is around 20, some don't register until about 50 units. So keep that in mind when using different tests. I think the digital tests are less sensitive. You can usually Google the brand to find out the sensitivity.
You may want to consider getting a blood test by your doctor to find out especially if you're spotting. Many women spot and it can be perfectly normal, but it can also be a sign of complications or a m/c or c/p.
