So confused... could I be pregnant?

34 replies

I'm now on day 31 of my cycle, 3/4 days after when AF usually shows up. I have done multiple tests, mainly cheap ones and a couple of FRER and they have all come back negative. I've had various different symptoms for over a week now, nausea, backache and tiredness being the main ones.
What the heck is happening? Could I be pregnant? If so why isn't it showing up yet?

OP I would maybe make an appointment to see your doctor if your period doesn’t arrive soon. A friend of mine had a very similar situation and had an ectopic pregnancy - lots of symptoms but negative tests due to the strange HCG levels with ectopic. Not trying to scare you but if the symptoms continue and no period soon, i would get checked out to be safe.

Do you know for sure when ovulation happened or could it have been later?

@Emae26 that's all positive! I had the same pain on my left side on and off for 3 days and was convinced it was AF coming. I'm really hoping you get your BFP on Monday :) xx

@pugmama7 I'm not too bad. Glad to see you got another possible positive! I've have a bit of a nausea today and back pain. I just had a shower and I think my nipples are looking darker and I feel like I might be able to see the veins on my boobs more than usual but I'm not sure if that's my mind playing tricks on me or not. As I was about to get in the shower I had this needle like pain just inwards of my right hip that came and went for a while, then stopped and then about 10 minutes later came and went again in waves. I've have a google and some people have had similar and it's be implantation or ligaments and muscles ect stretching (think it's too late to be implantation). Just dying to know either way but somehow managing to stay calm (don't know how... 😂). I'm going away for a couple of nights so hopefully that'll keep me distracted until I test again on monday!

@Emae26 how are you getting on? Xx

pugmama7 · 08/10/2019 21:02

@Healthypositivity thank you so much for your advice :)

Healthypositivity · 08/10/2019 20:54

@pugmama7
All sounds like legit pregnancy symptoms. Try not to test for a week. You will defo get a clearer positive. I know it's easy to say than to actually do. HCG levels are probably just low ATM because it's so early on.

pugmama7 · 08/10/2019 20:25

@Healthypositivity I'm glad you can see it too. It's quite a bit clearer to the naked eye. Yes I feel like I've been hit full force. Headache, nausea so bad I can't even face drinking anything, lightheaded, backache, bbs and nipples are on fire, I'm weeing all the time and so bloated. I really don't think I'm making this up anymore. I'm still really cautious tho.

Healthypositivity · 08/10/2019 20:19

@pugmama7
yea I can see another faint line straight away, however, when I zoom it in I don't see the line. Without zoom a shadow of a line is definitely there.

How are you feeling overall?
Are you still getting symptoms of pregnancy?

pugmama7 · 08/10/2019 18:41

@Healthypositivity thank you for your advice. I did another test just now and got this... I think it's positive? What do you guys think?

So confused... could I be pregnant?
Healthypositivity · 08/10/2019 13:34

@pugmama7 try to see if you can get a blood test. Sometimes it takes ages to show up on test, however sometimes the cheaper show up quicker than the expensive pregnancy test.

@FatAndFurious7
Did you re-test yet?

Hope you all get BFP. Good luck allFlowers

pugmama7 · 08/10/2019 06:25

Good morning guys! Up with the larks today. I took a clear blue early detection and still there just seems to be what looks like a shadow in the frame. I don't know if the camera is picking it up but I just don't know where I stand. I feel so different cramping on one side, lots of watery cm, swollen and tender bbs, nausea, backache etc but still no definitive positive test. It's so frustrating. And now af is 6 days late! Surely a positive would have shown up properly by now?!

@pugmama7 I've seen similar thing too, I'm hoping we are too. I'm going to wait a week, test and then go to the doctors either way

pugmama7 · 07/10/2019 18:55

@Emae26 fingers crossed for you. I've been reading up and finding loads of people that just don't show up in tests till quite a bit later. I'm hoping we're one of them! I'm obvs going to test again in the morning coz I just can't help myself

Emae26 · 07/10/2019 12:46

@pugmama7 yeah true. I will do, I'm not going to test anymore now, if no AF by this time next week I'm going to go to the doctors

pugmama7 · 07/10/2019 12:22

@Emae26 sometimes you just have an intuition and you've got to follow it! If something doesn't feel right it could be that you're pregnant but just one of those people that don't show up till a bit later. I've got the worst symptoms today ever - cramps, backache, nausea and my boobs are so swollen and painful, but I'm still worried AF might turn up. Keep me posted - are you going to do another test in the morning? Xx

Healthypositivity · 07/10/2019 12:14

Mind games.
My body is playing some serious mind tricks on me. Came off injection since June and no AF since January. So I know my mind is just playing some games on me. Pregnancy is the last thing on my mind.Smile

@pugmama7 I'm trying not too. my fiancé is still so convinced I'm pregnant, he's never been like this before. I've never felt the way I have this cycle ever before. I just really want to know either way now...

@Emae26
Sorry looks like a negative to me. Wait for af to come.

FatAndFurious7 · 07/10/2019 09:10

Can I jump in ladies? I'm only 1 day overdue AF and had a BFN this morning but have been so sure this month. I've really felt different and had a strong gut feeling. I don't want to get too hung up on maybe I still am but I want it so badly. Had horrid heartburn, nausea, constipation (TMI sorry) and string vivid dreams for around 6 days now.

So sorry for you guys who are even more days along than me, must be awful and I hope you all do get your BFPs

pugmama7 · 07/10/2019 09:09

@Emae26 I wouldn't give up until AF comes. I'm literally on cd33 5 days late with no AF and got that tiny faint thing that might or might not be something, don't give up hope xxx

So confused... could I be pregnant?

@December2019 thank you I'm glad it's not just me having line eyes. I'm going to get a different brand today to test tomorrow as I only had ICs with me. I tried to upload from my phone but it wanted me to take a new one which is why I think it's blurry. Xx

December2019 · 07/10/2019 07:19

@pugmama7 that looks like a line but the pic is a bit smudgey
But that looks a lot like my very feint bfp 😊
