Could i still be pregnant?!

Katie

I'm 8dpo and 5 days till my next period. I've taken an early response hpt but it's negative. I feel like I have a chance of being pregnant this month but not entirely sure. Anyone else get negative tests early on and didn't get a positive till later on in their cycle?! I've had a miscarriage last year and trying for my rainbow baby, last time I was pregnant the test only shown a very faint line when I was 4 days late; could it be the same again?!
