Missed period

I am over a month late on my period. Had consistent negative pregnancy tests and had bloods done and it was negative too.

Positive test at 8dpo

I had a positive Clearblue ultra early pregnancy test and a Clearblue digital test at only 8dpo, is this normal? I am also having cramps on my left side that go into my groin/leg. I had a miscarriage a few weeks ago.
