Advice on negative pg tests?

Hey! Just looking for some experience! Has anyone actually been pregnant and took a while to show positive on a hpt? I have a few symptoms and in general feel like I could be! My AF would've been due between last Thursday and yesterday but took a hpt last Wednesday and yesterday and both show negative :( I'm using Superdrug's cheap make. I'm NEVER late for AF so feeling positive. Almost every post I've read seems that everyone tests positive before their AF is due so feeling a bit disappointed at the moment! Sad

@Kate123cl
I’ve had symptoms, sore (.) (.) Blush and cramps, I’ve been feeling strange, obv no af, and those contraction feelings, I’ve been feeling super tired last couple of days but is prob the UTI!!! Need to get this urine test back... but I’m going to have to tell dr I’m trying already as not sure I can take antibiotics if I am pregnant 🙈
Look forward to the piccy :) xxx

@Rose2887 I think it is a sign! Something to do with pressure etc. I've deffo read it somewhere before! I think sometimes not knowing when to expect things is better as you don't feel pressure to have every date down to a tee!
Hm I hope so, hope you'll be able to see it on a picture, I'll try and invert it tooSmile
I know what you mean about womb tightening! Have you had many symptoms? I had a weird thing the other day when the skin around my left hip and belly went completely numb lol! Xxx

@Kate123cl

I wonder if a uti is an early sign of pregnancy? I’ve got a pink dye one but waiting to use it.... need to stop testing as will go crazy lol. The weirdest part is dtd at least 3 times a week so have no record of when I could of gotten pregnant...
Faint but a line is a line 😊👍🏻
Another strange thing I keep feeling my womb tighten up... and it feels harder than usual!!!! God I’m confused, where’s af or where the positive hpt!!!!! 😂😂😂
Can’t wait to see the pic xxx

@Rose2887 I'm not sure, Just that the line is so faint!!
Ah ok I see, very similar position as me then! Almost exact same timings! I haven't tried the FRER ones but the boots one I took was pink dye but my line is only showing on blue dyes?! It's all a bit strange!Confused and yes that is strange re cramps etc! I think these home tests are rubbish and maybe you are?! I will try and get a picture accurate enough when I get home from work! Xxx

@Kate123cl aaw why aren’t you convinced? I’ve been off the pill a month but wasn’t really taking it the month before, as we’d both agreed to start trying!!! I keep getting this strong cramps but no af and the withdrawal bleed I had was about a month ago and lasted about 2 days and my period before that was the end of feb 🙈
Maybe I’ll get one of those Tesco ones.. have you tried the frer ones??? They say pink dye is more accurate?
I’m not testing every day... but thought these ovulation things may help as if I’m not ovulating why do I have constant cramps... but no positive tests Confused

Picture please Kate123cl fingers crossed for you xx

@Rose2887 thank you!! I'm still not convinced for some reason?!Confused

Well that sounds hopeful! It's all so confusing isn't itSad are you testing daily?? How many days past AF are you now? I tested with the blue dye ones from Tesco's and they've been the clearest ones so far despite what everyone says about blue dye lol! Xx

Aah so exciting @kate123cl congratulation!!!!! ♥️ So happy for you!!!

I’ve not yet tested woke up this morning boobs really sore and so was my bladder, went for a wee and it was cloudy and smelt 😐 so took a urine sample to drs and apparently it’s been sent to lab so guessing I have uti or something....
boobs really sore today but everyone keeps telling me it’s the pill withdrawal not sure what to believe!!
Anyway I bought some ovulation tests from Poundland and done one earlier and I wasn’t ovulating!!! Not sure whether to test with my cheaply amazon but they aren’t sensitive so not sure if it’s worth it!!!! Xxx

With my dd I had a bfn at cd30 then a positive at cd 35, I didn’t test in between as I was away but symptoms started to appear around 2 days before I got home. Mainly ridiculous tiredness which I mistook for a hangover & jetlag. So it does happen. My sister was 7 weeks before she got a bfp. Not sure why it happens.

@ImNotWhoYouThinkIam aw NooSadI hope you get luckier last month, don't give up hope! Lol, the post does seem jinxed! I just took another test and positive should look like this ( | ) ( | ) but mine turned out like this ( - ) ( | ) so I'm now less hopeful Sad also feeling really sad! Our bodies are very cruel!

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 03/04/2018 20:44

Well maybe postingon here jinxed me or something (I don't mean that btw) but theres been blood thelast few times I've wiped. Each time redder than before (sorry if TMI) and I feel sad because I was hoping I was pregnant.

I hope everyone else gets whatever outcome they are hoping for.

SnooSigh · 03/04/2018 18:06

Sainsbury’s own brand are good, I tested positive a day before my period was due and with a 5pm wee.
