Hi everyone! I am new here, I just wanted to say thank you ahead of time for reading my post.

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for four months. On June 22 I got the smiley face for the ovulation kit. I was supposed to get my cycle on July 7th. Now, according to the who 5 day early pregnancy tests, on July 3rd (saturday - 4 days before my cycle) I got a positive "pregnant". I was so excited! Just to confirm I took another one the next morning first thing, from then on out I kept taking the tests and getting not pregnant. Now it's the 7th and I started my cycle. I am so confused!!!! I am getting mixed reviews.

I thought that it was not often that there was a positive pregnancy result. I thought it was more likely to get not pregnants if you were in fact pregnant, than a pregnant result if you were not. Does this mean I was never pregnant? And if so where do I go from here If I had a smiley face on the ovulation kit? I have people telling me that you can get a period even if you are pregnant. But if that is true, why then did on the 3rd I got a pregnant and than all not pregnants with first morning urine?

I had no idea this was so confusing, but I feel like this stress is not helping me concieve. I feel like I have done everything that i was supposed to do.... am I pregnant or not pregnant, and is it ridiculous to even be hopeful that I am at this point? I feel like logically I am not, 10 "not pregnants" and my cycle should have satisfied that question..... but we tried to conceive during a smiley face.... I got a positive pregnant.......

Confused.
Thank you for your time! I hope this does not sound completely ridiculous...

I do think it is possible you WERE INFACT pregnant at one point. Maybe your hormone levels were high enough when you tested the first time but were already dropping and got too low to read on the rest of the tests. I am not a doctor or even close to it but this kind of thing seems to have been happening to me and my sister a lot lately.

Hi ziggy666, That is quite disappointing to experience that. balvarado912 might be onto something. Perhaps you can do a test next cycle to see if you get smiley face result 4 days before your cycle. If so, perhaps your body experiences it periodically. Or maybe you can go to a doctor to get your blood tested to make sure. Have you been working with one? Also, being that you have been trying to conceive for several months, have you looked into your diet and lifestyle to increase your chances? I only ask because I'm a holistic health counselor and have seen that diet and lifestyle can be linked to many issues.

Hi ziggy666,
It is completely possible that you were pregnant when you did you first pregnancy test. I too got pregnant in May and then lost it right away. They call it a chemical pregnancy (which is a horrible name for it). It's when you have a very early pregnancy and then miscarry. Most women never even know they were pregnant unless they happened to test the way you and I did. I also got AF 4 days after testing positive and I tested at the fertility clinic, so there was no chance that it was a faulty test.
Definitely speak to a doctor to confirm but I can bet anything that this is what happened.
I know it sucks to think that you got pregnant and now you're not, but the one thing that you can take from this is that you can get pregnant. Chemical pregnancies are very common, and most women who have experienced one will go on to conceive a healthy child the second time around. Don't get discouraged.

Good luck to you!!
