If your test came out positive and you got AF, you may have had what is called a chemical pregnancy. The exact same thing happened to me in May. The egg was fertilized but

for some reason or other, the egg never implanted. You should go for a blood test.

If that is what it was it happens to 50-60% of all pregnancies. Most women may never even know they were pregnant b/c yout AF comes a few days late. That's why we shouldn't test til a week later. Just giving you info. I hope that's not what it was but I didn't want you to feel scared b/c I was until my doctor explained.

Good luck! I hope everything works out!
