Late, early symptoms, negative test

Hello everyone. I am sure someone may have already started a discussion about this, but I really need to talk about this. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 6 months.

Last week I started to feel unwell, a bad headache, nausea and butterfly feelings in my lower stomach. I have always had regular periods, however this month my period is now 4 days late. We were excited to take a pregnancy test, however, 4 tests down and still no positive.

Has anyone else experienced this and come out with a positive test eventually? Should I be concerned that there is another problem? Confused

Me too! My husband keeps asking every time I got to the toilet if there is any sign of blood as well! I can't stop thinking about it. But just worried there could be a problem. It is such a worry when they say the tests are 99% accurate from the day your period is due

I'm 6 days late, 4 negative tests including digital, no symptoms of period at all :( so frustrating, i'm driving myself crazy

Thank you so much for your replies. I have used Clearblue tests including the ultra early ones as I thought it would be more sensitive if I had low levels of HCG. I test with an ultra early one this morning and still nothing!

Clear blue or first response are good

I had about 8 negatives on cheap tests and then bought a digital one and got a positive!! Are you using good quality tests? I was also told to test in the morning as it's more accurate! Hope you get the result you want soon!
