Could i be pregnant?
Ok i started my last cycle on 7-20-16 and ovulated on 8-3-16 we had intercourse and waited the two week wait. Within those two weeks i had a very faint positive hpt, a positive hpt, then 2 negative after that using the digital hpt. We assumed i had a chemical pregnancy. Now its time for af and my period is completely different its not even enough to use a tampon and not filling up a pad either. And ive also been feeling very sick to my stomach off and on along with very bad headaches loss of appetite nothing that i usually accociate with my period?? Could i possibly be pregnant?

Huntersmommy5 i have been spotting for the last 4 days but thats it the only time it was more than that is when my husband and i had sex, even then it wasnt alot.
At this point i think blood work is my best option because im still showing symptoms here and there such as achy boobs, heartburn, constipation, and slight cramps. Nothing accociated with my "normal" cycle

How soon after the positive tests did you use the digtal? What brand and type (for example First Response Early Results) was the positive test and what brand and type was the digital (ex. ClearBlue with weeks estimator)?
The reason I ask is that a lot of digital tests aren't very sensitive at all. Some digitals won't read positive till 50miu. FRERs read positive at 8.3miu. So obviously you could get a positive FRER and not be able to get a positive digital for a couple of days.
hCG should double every 48 hours during pregnancy. So, theoretically, if you had 10hCG the day you got a positive it could take up to 6 days to be able to get a positive digital if you're using one of the less sensitive digital tests.
The ClearBlue with weeks estimator should read "Pregnant 1-2" around 17miu of hCG. And the First Response digital should read "Pregnant" at 10miu.
I'd suggest taking another test if you're still having symptoms and no real period.
