Faint positive then negative

Ok, so I know that I shouldn't have done, but I tested at 8 DPO as I had all the symptoms that I had when I was pregnant with my son (including what looks like CM with bits of mucus plug in it as it builds up... the most definite sign I had when I was pregnant before!), and much to my surprise I got a very, very faint positive within the time frame.

The next morning I tested with the same brand of test only to be faced with a negative, same again this morning!!! Am I to assume this was a chemical pregnancy? I still have my symptoms, and no AF.

I'll carry on testing each morning until I either get AF or a true positive. I now wish I hadn't tested so early, as if I'd just been faced with negatives I could have told myself that it was just too early!!

Anyone else had this and gone on to be pregnant?

Not sure yet. Posted about it in "need your honest opinion please". Guess I'll find out next week. Good luck and let me know what happens

I would wait until at least 16-18dpo before testing. I know some people just cant stand the anticipation but in the long run its so much cheaper and a lot more reliable...well then again nothing beats that blood test!
