Late period but negative test

Forgot to say, I did have period like pains and was sure I was getting my period, but it turned out to be early pregnancy. I still had those pains quit a lot throughout as well.

Hello I was TTC for 18 months and was late getting my period, I did four tests from day 31 to day 40 of my cycle, all negative. I finally got a positive on day 42 of my cycle (ie two weeks late). I now have a very healthy 8 month old son. Hurrah!. I went to the GP on day 36 to say I had done tests and were negative etc and she didn't do a pregnancy test, but did refer me (at my request) for some fertility tests as we had been trying for a long time. Thank god we never needed those tests in the end. I think (from doing ovulation tests in past) that I ovulate quite late, which could have been a reason for negative tests earlier on.

Hope you get the positive you are waiting for.

I know you're right. I'll do test in 2 days then go to my GP. Anyone else had 'period like' pains. I dis 5 days ago so much that I was convinced my period was around the corner! It's enough to drive anyone mad this. Oh to be a man!

I was 9 days late when I got the first positive result, all others had been negative before. I am now aproaching 36 weeks pregnant, and everything is fine, so it doesn't mean anything 'bad' will/has happened!

I think I have read on here of people not getting a positive result until they were 9 weeks pregnant - so, loads of good luck to you both

My GP told me when I said that we were TTC "do not rely on HPT as they are not always accurate - best to pop in and see me and we'll send away a sample"
Now, I realise that my GP is brilliant and I am lucky as not all GPs are like that... BUT that is what they are there for!! Don't worry about the negative tests, you don't even need to tell them you have taken a test... just say you are 12 days late and wonder if you might be PG???

Fingers crossed for you.

Still no period (12 days late). Am going to do a test in 3 days, just feel like a drama queen going to my GP after 4 neg tests!

I would say a trip to your GP?? Fingers crossed for both of you.

Hello

I'm new to the site and wanted some advice please. I have endometriosis for which I have had ALL the treatment going! My fiance and I decided to quit the treatments and try for kids as we never know if this will realistically happen (without IVF). I've had 3 normal regular cycles and am now approx 10 days late for my period. Over the last week I've done 4 tests - all negative. I've had pain on one side 6 days ago that I feel could have been inplantation??? Last test was 3 days ago and it was a clear blue digital. Help!

CONGRATULATIONS LOOBIE!!

Just thought that i would post another message this month as i have been trying like mad again.
And guess what. I am Pregnant.
Thanks for all your advice last month and now i am a very proud mum to be.
Thanks again

You can bleed when pregnant ( often around the time when you would have had a period) whether or not you have had corrosion of the cervix, it's really very common.
Good luck for next month

I don't know about the erosion, but you can be pregnant and get bleeding around the time your period should be because of implantation. I guess only time will tell for sure.

I came on this afternnon. I have got really bad stomach cramps on the one side of my stomach but yet i am not on very heavy. I had erosion of the cervix when i was younger and i have read that you can still be PG and bleed if you suffer from this. Does anyone know anything about this. I read it in this months Pregnancy magazine.
I was devastated but i will manage. Just means more trying next month which means fun fun fun.

Loobie - do a test other than Clear blue if you can next time - they don't put this on the pack ( THEY SHOULD!) but their test can give a very pale GREY line which is NOT a positive - only a blue line is - but to someone who wants to be pregnant it's very misleading and very frustrating!!!
I only found this out from a website which compares HPTs.

Loobie, we're going away for a few days tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to missing any good news. I'll look for this thread as soon as we get back so Good luck, but I'm sure you're not going to need it. That faint blue line can only mean one thing in my books!

Forgot to say...Good Luck!

Good luck. I hope it is positive.

When I did a test the first time (on a Wednesday), I was a few days late, and I got a negative, but then a really faint pink line appeared over an hour. I 'phoned the helpline, and they said that a line, however faint, was a positive. I did one a few days later (Sunday), and it was a strong line. Ds arrived nine months later!

Maybe do another one on say Wednesday, if you haven't come on by then. I'm sure that the hormones will be strong enough by then.

Hello everyone. Still not on.I am now 9 days late. Still too scared to take a PG test just in case it turns out negative. Im sure that when i go over to me mums tho she will have one at the ready..lol

I hope that you are right EmmaTMG. Its just so frustrating all this waiting. I have read some other messages and it must be breeding time. There are a lot of people at work that have announced that they are PG and that is also frustrating but i am pleased for them. Just hoping that it will be me next announcing tht it is me that is me PG. One thing that does worry me is that if i am PG i could be having a X-mas baby and it might burn a big hole in my pocket but never mind it will just mean that my other half will have to do more work. lol

If you do have a low level of the pregnancy hormones, that would explain why the line was just faint. I agree - go for another test.

I expect alot has changed in PG tests since your mum was trying , unless of course you're the youngest Mumsnetter ever at 2 years old
I would try another brand of test if I was you. I remember now that I also did a clear blue when I thought I was PG with DS2 and it gave a negative result.....however he's asleep upstairs at the moment so I think we can safely say that it was wrong!!

The thing that worries me is that when my mum was trying for me and my bro's the pregnancy tests that she bought and the ones from the doctors didn't work. When they found that she was PG via scan they said that it was becuase she didnt have enough hormones in her blood. I really dont want to be like my mum. I really am hoping that i am PG.

If you're going to test again try a Boots own one as these are really sensitive to the PG hormones,as loads of threads on here will tell you.
Sorry forgot to say Wecome to Mumsnet, you'll be addicted by the end of the evening!
