Looking for others thoughts. On Wednesday (11 dpo) I received a some brown spotting for a few hours. On 13 dpo I got a very faint bfp. 14 dpo I received more bfp but they were very faint. I even used another brand. (Total of 5 bfp) Now today 15 dpo a digital test came back not pregnant and my normal test was barely visible. I did however drink almost 64 ounces of water the night prior in a 4 hour span (8 to 12). I was super thirsty. I tested this am at 8 and got the negative and barely positive. Im I miscarrying or still too early and I just diluted my pee from all the water??
@ashleyoertli let me start by saying this post is not going to go over well here. It's against TOU to ask, even in a roundabout way, if you are pregnant. A bunch of ladies on the internet, even those as awesome as us here, cannot tell you if you're KU or if you're having a CP or MC. My best advice is to call your doctor. They might recommend you get your betas drawn and they can potentially tell you what is going on. GL.

Echoing what PPs already beat me to, nobody here can tell you if you're pregnant and it is against board rules for you to ask us so. If you have questions regarding what a positive HPT looks like, there is a post for that over on the first trimester board. Either way, I'd highly recommend speaking to a medical professional about this as soon as you can.
If you are pregnant, please don't feel like you have to come and let us know as it can understandably be a sensitive point for those of us trying to get our own BFPs. If you are not pregnant, please read the newbie guide pinned to the top of the board and join us on the appropriate daily or weekly threads.
@ashleyoertli First of all, I'm sorry that you're dealing with wondering whether or not you are experiencing a chemical pregnancy or miscarriage. That is not a place that I would ever wish anyone to have to experience or question.
Having said that, you have to understand that you are posting on a public forum of strangers asking us if we know whether or not you're pregnant, experiencing a miscarriage or if it's just your period coming with a slew of faulty tests that you took. You are asking this on a forum with hundreds of women running through hoops to ever even see a positive pregnancy test. Can you see how this could be insensitive? Aside from it being against the TOU to ask if you're pregnant here, what would make you think that we would have any definitive answer for you? Some of us may be able to provide personal experience, but that would not affect your situation whatsoever.
Call your doctor tomorrow and ask them to do a beta test if you want a definite answer whether or not you're pregnant. If you are, they should draw another test to see if your numbers are increasing as they should.
If you're not pregnant and want to stick around, please READ the newbie guide and spend some time lurking to understand the culture of this board. You will see that doing a dirty delete will also not go over well. It's better to leave your mistake up for future lurkers to learn from.
ashleyoertli - you've gotten some good advice, but I'll add in my 2 cents because I do think you're really confused about what's going on. I doubt you watered down your pee. Have you had any spotting/bleeding? I'd call your doctor because he/she is the best person to give you advice.
However, if you turned a test positive and then it turned negative, and you've had spotting/bleeding, it's likely a Chemical Pregnancy (CP). Your doctor draw betas to make sure it's not a molar pregnancy or ectopic. While CPs are tough and disappointing, they are incredibly common. Lots of women have them and don't even know they were pregnant. It doesn't make it easier, just providing some context.
When I had my CP, my doctor told me to POAS until it turned negative. You might want to pick up a few different brands and try to pee on them tomorrow and see what results you're getting. Different tests have different thresholds that they turn positive. But it's also not helpful to compare lines (even on the same brand of test).
Hopefully you can connect with your dr tomorrow and can get more solid advice than strangers on the internet can give you. Good luck.

Re: Confusion
No one here can tell you if you're pregnant or not.
Edited because I reread the OP.
