Hi,
The first test was done at 4 weeks ,was it 4 weeks after the last menses?
If so it's likely to be false +ve. due to urine infection causing frequency. (urine pregnancy test is +ve after about7 days overdue )
In case first test was done at 4 weeks after ovulation,& is faint +ve at 8 weeks- it's likely to be missed abortion/ blighted ovum.
Get blood HCG test & pelvic sonography done to exclude certain things like tubal pregnancy/ blighted ovum.
In case it comes out clear, no pregnancy- the breast signs & 2 months delayed menses are due to hormonal disturbances.Need Gynecologist's advice.
Thanks.
