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 oh no really? Why do you think that?
I’m in utter confusion... I feel more pregnant today than ever... I think a blood test is the only way we will know!

@Rose2887 Haha! Ooo feeling sick maybe a good sign!! Definitely get a docs appointment if nothing shows by Monday. I'm rescheduling my appointment until Monday too. I'm worried I may have PCOS😩 been spending way too much time on google!🙁 I might get a fr! Xxx

@kate123cl haha so did 🙈 what an idiot, picked up two packs of ovulation instead of one of each... anyway my symptoms have all changed from last night, having been getting the odd sick feeling.. stomach cramps gone and boobs feeling achey! I think if this frer says negative then I’m off to drs Monday.. as starting to worry now! How are you feeling after today test? Why don’t you get a frer?

@TTCnamechange welcome 😊 don’t be disheartened, like Kate said each pregnancy is different... I also have a dd 😊
Best to get a frer test, ordered mine off the internet just waiting now!

@namechangergamechanger87 Of course there's room! I'm sorry you're feeling like this!Sad it is awful isn't it! Have you had any symptoms at all? Every pregnancy is meant to be different so don't be too disheartened by not having the same symptoms as before! Xx

Room for another one on this thread?

I've been ttc for over 2 yrs now.

Currently on day 39 of my cycle and just tested. got a BFN! (V.cheap test)
My cycles are very irregular but an avg of 29-30 days since having dd. I do recall a 42 day cycle once over 4 yrs ago though, pre dd.

So desperately trying to stop convincing myself I am. I don't feel like I am. By this time with dd I was suffering horrific migraines and food aversion. Which is the only reason I tested then. Last time I was BFN at 4 weeks ish (I wasn't obsessive about it then as had only been 'trying' for 3 mths!) And got a bfp at 6 weeks when I tested again.

Hopelessly failing at not letting myself believe I am 😥.

Thanks @Rose2887

Oh no!! I've spent so much on tests! They all confuse me so much.

Good luck ❤️

Rose2887 · 12/04/2018 14:13

Time to wait for the frer I guess and still haven’t come 🙄

How’s everyone else?

Rose2887 · 12/04/2018 14:11

Damn I got the wrong tests 🙈🙈 ovulation!

Rose2887 · 12/04/2018 14:08

Congrats @Han22 that’s a definite positive.. the clear blue digital are not sensitive like the first response... congratulations!!! X

Han22 · 12/04/2018 14:07

Hiya!

Hope you don't mind me jumping onto this thread.

I ovulated late this month and just had some implantation bleeding.

I got these two tests first response about an hour ago which is really exciting but a negagtive on clear blue digital. Because I ovulated late I don't know the date of my expected period. Are the first response tests much more sensitive?

Thanks Ex

@Rose2887 I used the really cheap boots one! Pink dye, just really disappointed!Sad true about AF! And I've only been trying for 1 months so wasn't expecting anything to come of it! That's probably a good idea to get one in town! Tide you over until the first response one lol! Kind of wishing either way to either be pregnant or get AF just so, like you, I know when I'll next be ovulating! Might also get some ovulation sticks, never used them before!Smile xxxx

OP posts:
Rose2887 · 12/04/2018 09:10

@Kate123cl what test did you use??
All I’m going to say is... no af, can’t be ruled out!!! I really want this but also I know it will happen when it’s meant too.. I did read it up on average it can take woman months, but it’s the symptoms that are the weird part..
If I do get af least I’ll know when I’m
Ovulating but every day I wake up and it’s not here I’m pleased Smile
I’m going into town today so thinking may grab one from Poundland.. anyone tired these?? I’ll also get some of there ovulation sticks too xxxx

@kate123cl have you tested? Good luck Flowers

@MaGratgarlik1983 welcome, sounds very similar to kate123cl and I!!!

@lilly1207 I’ve not tested as waiting for frer to be delivered 😂 how are you feeling?

Last night I felt a bit sick 🤭 maybe hormonal... but maybe the start of something? I’m just not sure... dtd though too... we hadn’t since Sunday so thought we would up our game Blush

Lilly1207 · 12/04/2018 08:33

Hi ladies. I'm late too! Not sure how many days exactly, maybe one or a few, as not sure when oved. Tons of symptoms and now getting cramps, sickness, and gone off chicken!! Also left my handbag behind at a friend's house the other day and generally feel scatty. Gah who knows?!

Kate123cl · 11/04/2018 22:50

@Rose2887 I think I will in the morning!🤞🏼I think the same as you, thinking I may have ovulation later! Do your cramps seem worse at night? I've felt fine just very tired! Xxx

OP posts:
Rose2887 · 11/04/2018 21:42

@Kate123cl I think you should test... get it out of the way!

I think mine will be negative still... I’m thinking I possibly ovulated later than expected, but still have hope I’m pregnant...

My cramps have eased just getting a twinge here and there.

How have you felt? Xx
