Yeah I had this with my second baby. I took an early detection test 6 days before my period and it was negative. I went away on holiday the day after and I was waiting for My period and tested positive with a standard test. So there is still hope!
Yep (9dpo and 10dpo rather than 8 though) even when I was getting clear positives on easy at home, my CB was coming back negative.
Yes , got positive 2 days later
8dpo is still super early you may still be pregnant as you may not of implanted yet
