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

Rose2887 - No I haven't retested yet! Bit too scared tbh haha, I think I'll wait a day or two more just to make sure it's accurate!

Kate123cl - I was about 2 weeks late, had a really light bleed with the tiniest bit of red blood, mostly brown and then got that result on the FRER. Only reason I took another test was because I was sick at a lunch out with DP and his mum Blush xx

@Rose2887 Hey Hun! I'm ok, feeling refreshed as the sun is gleaming! Lol. Hasn't tested again today I think I'll just leave it a couple of days as I seem to get nothing on my tests lol! Have you tested again today? Be interesting to see how dark your line is now! Xxx

@mai5x no I’m not on the pill but only came off in March... we don’t know exact dates but I would be due now for af! Have you retested?
@kate123cl how are you today? Xx

mai5x · 18/04/2018 07:18

@Rose2887 I've heard that too! My mums tests showed negative when she was, in fact, pregnant with me!Smile yes, the doctors in my area are awful! Ah interesting! I haven't had any ulcers! The wait must always be nerve racking but it's more likely to be fine than not!! Xxx

Rose2887 · 17/04/2018 22:00

I’m feeling excited but super nervous... I’ll feel more excited when I am over the dreaded few week wait incase something happens!! Then can buy things :) xx

Rose2887 · 17/04/2018 21:58

@kate123cl that’s mad, I’ve heard some people get pregnant and don’t have a positive test.. the dr should of offered you a blood test!!! What are you going to do next?
Another thing... ulcers, and they are taking ages to go!!!!! Xx

@Rose2887 have most of those symptoms! How are you feeling now that you know you are, I bet you're nervous but very excited! I hope that is the case for me!Smilexxx

Rose2887 · 17/04/2018 21:52

@Kate123cl headaches to begin with, period type pains, some more painful than period, then before the test some white cm in my underwear, shooting pains in boobs, at the minute I feel a little spaced out and slightly off things but the cramps have gone, thankfully!! I honestly think you are pregnant but ovulated late like me... mines still super early! Xxx

@Rose2887 how did you feel physically before bfp? I've NEVER felt this nauseous in my life. Could easily be sick if I thought about it. Also, massive headache that doesn't seem to be clearing! Xx

Rose2887 - I'll have to hunt one down again, they're like gold dust round here! x

Rose2887 · 17/04/2018 15:12

@mai5x def a frer. I done a Poundland one today I had in the draw to compare and it’s so faint you wouldn’t know I was pregnant based on those.. I’ll post a pic later :)

mai5x · 17/04/2018 15:09

Rose2887 Yeah I've just had a little look and one of your first looks like this one!

I haven't got another one, so annoying! It would be best to get a FRER wouldn't it? x

Rose2887 · 17/04/2018 15:04

@mai5x It does look positive... can you retest? The line may get more prominent as time goes on... you could hardly see mine a couple of days ago, if you look back!! X

mai5x · 17/04/2018 14:57

Kate123cl - do you see it on the normal photo or just the invert one?!

I showed my mum and she said she can't see anything so mixed reviews really! xx

mai5x · 17/04/2018 14:54

That bottom Sainsburys one was what my positive was like, I thought it was an evap line as it was so thin... maybe it was a positive then!

@Bubblegum89 thank you. That's reassuring. Although, I would probably be around 6 weeks now and still no line :( so I doubt that I am! X

I’m not pregnant but in regards to the original question of testing negative until later in pregnancy, it’s more than possible. Last time I was pregnant, I wasn’t ttc at the time and so I didn’t test until I was about 5 weeks pregnant. My tests were still not very dark even that far along. They were obviously positive but far from blazing
