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

Hi all, I'm hoping I can get some advice...I 'think' I am 7ish days late. My last period was on the 17th of March but I am rubbish at keeping track of my cycle and this is the first time we have even tried...

I know that my cycle is not normally this long though!! I have done a few tests including a first response but they have all been negative.

I am feeling a little ill and pretty tired, but equally feel I could just be reading into things too much...

Is it possible to still be getting a negative if I am pregnant? I feel like I am winding myself up!!

@Kate123cl I'm 6days late currently. Sorry to hear about AF but at least you know where you stand now!

I used the clear blue advanced OPKs this month, only got flashy smilies though to indicate high fertility and no peak days...though I did give up as was getting annoyed with them!

stellarfox · 24/04/2018 15:50

@Kate123cl so annoying but at least you are starting on a fresh cycle! I tried a FRER a couple days ago and cheapies but nothing. We did not DTD very much last month around ovulation as I was away. However I’m now wondering if I could ovulated later? Clearblue said I was ovulating though and that’s quite reliable I thought?! I just wish af would arrive so I can get on with next month now!

Pudding01 · 24/04/2018 13:52

I use the clear blue digital one with the smiley face on the strongest days. Couldn't handle any more lines! They haven't helped me yet. But it does make me consider the best one up that monitors you all month x

I used the Poundland ones.. seemed to work fine :) and isn’t a waste of money!!! Things will all work out don’t worry xx

@Pudding01 sorry to hear AF has come for you 
@Kate123cl how are you not pestering your Drs? How many days late are you?

I didn't test today, will wait until Thursday morning I think (as I won't then have to go to work straight away!) keep expecting it to suddenly surprise me whenever I go to the loo!

@xyzandabc welcome!! It's funny how there's so many of us all in the same boat!! It's a good idea to test at different times in the day IMO as my only faint positives I got I tested around 6pm with. All morning ones have been negative! X

Can I join please? I'm currently a week late according to my apps on CD39. I've taken boots own brand early tests a couple of times and they are all coming up negative.
I feel exactly like most of you have been describing - totally in limbo. Right now I don't think I'd even be too upset if AF came; just want to know!
Just ordered some FRER online, should be arriving Thursday. Might cave and also pick up something from sainsburys on way home tonight though. Not sure whether I need to try at diff times of day. I've been doing FMU for all so far as that is always said is best.

Oh no @Pudding01 !! I'm really sorry to hear that Sad at least now you know when to try again. Sending hugs xx

@Kate123cl I woke up bleeding. Quite bright red and as heavy as a normal period, with cramping and feeling tired. Then stopped, but back again... So I think it was either a late period and I was seeing things on my test or it was a chemical pregnancy Sad x

How are you doing @Pudding01 x

OP posts:
Rose2887 · 23/04/2018 08:51

@kate123cl sorry :( I think maybe you should ask to see another dr, mines pretty useless too! They should really do a blood test or a scan to see what’s going on! Hope you get some answers! I don’t even feel that pregnant bar tingly boobs and bloated!! Saying that I’m not sleeping either x

@Rose2887 just realised that sounds like I've taken my test to work lol! It just takes ages to upload a pic when I'm away from WiFi so I'll do it there! Lol x

@Rose2887 It's not even worth a picture lol!! But I'll put one up when I get to work! On the bus at the moment lol.
It is really late! I'm just confused as to why the doctors weren't bothered! I just feel sick all the time (not sure if it's the folic acid) and lower back pain is quite bad! Xx

Rose2887 · 23/04/2018 08:06

@Kate123cl sorry to hear that. Put a piccy up? Mine was so faint when I first done it.

Have you decided what you are going to do as you af is really late now isn’t it? How are the symptoms?
