Postpartum Pregnancy test help

I’m 6 months postpartum and have had a semi regular period back since around 10 weeks PP. we had unprotected sex about 2.5 weeks ago, my period is now 11 days late and I’ve been sick and nauseous just over a week I’ve done 7 pregnancy tests, first 3 were negative 4th had maybe a very very faint positive but next 3 were negative again I can’t get into my doctor for another week to check and I’m going crazy not knowing! Has anyone experienced this? Is it possible tests aren’t as accurate postpartum or something?

What time of the day are you testing and which brand of tests are you using?

You can pay for a private blood test to check Hcg

I used both for my last pregnancy when I was 6 months postpartum

You can have random irregular periods postpartum, I've had semi regular periods since about 8 weeks pp (only different by a few days) but I had one random cycle where I was about 3 weeks late. I was sure I was pregnant but every test was negative and I ended up getting my period eventually. The very faint positive could be an indent line, they usually happen if you don't read the test right as the time is up, or some tests are just bad for them

@alana ive tried 2 different brands and been trying to test first thing in the morning but one or two tests ave been evening

Different brands have different sensitivities, so keep this in mind as well

Thanks to everyone who tried to help with this Turns out I was pregnant but my hcg levels were extremely low which is why we kept getting negative tests, have now had a miscarriage confirmed

I’m sorry to hear that @incognito. I had a chemical recently too 😓
