Three days late, test negative - pregnancy still possible?

Title says it all really. Don't know what's going on. Was pretty regular for the last few months, but now three days late and TTC. Did test yesterday around early lunchtime after drinking about 1 litre of fluids up to then - could that have changed the test result? Or am I clutching at straws here?

yes deffo drinking that much fluid would weakn hcg level if you are pg try another test tomorrow morning first morning sample is best good luck

I have heard that drinking too much can dilute your urine down IYKWIM.

I would try abd test tomorrow morning or if you can wait that long Monday morning.

agree with others it can weaken hormone level. Do a test tommorow am first thing

TBH I would not test at all until you are around 7 days late.

Thanks for your answers.

Meerkatsunite, why would you say that? Even though the tests say you can use them from the first day you are due?

I tested the evening before my period was due w/one of those cheapo strip tests you order online and got a positive result. Think it depends on the level of hormone but in your case I'd test again w/first-morning urine.

, i tested negative for a week with ds2, i think that can happen if you conceive slightly later in your cycle, and drinking lots of fluid can dilute the preg hormone, i would test again, in the morning, and then every 3 days unless af comes.

Definately possible, I was 2 weeks late before it showed on a pregnancy test. I am now 14 weeks pregnant.

If you conceived later in the cycle than average (I conceived a day before my period was due!!) it will take longer to show up, surely.

think the testing is different for everyone and with every baby.
With my son I didnt get a positive until I was 9wks pg still had periods etc, with missed mc I found out at 7wks pg with this baby I found out at 3 wks pg.

Emkana,
How spooky! I am also about 3 days late, tested today but got a neg. I'll test again on Monday if af doesn't show.
My ds is 7mths and my af has been regular for about 4 months now. I show no signs of coming on either.
I've been getting extreamly tired just lately too, just like my 1st pregnancy.

I was 10 days late - and finally AF came - after doing 3 tests - all negative - i was convinced they where wrong!!! normal cycle lasts 30ish days so this was VERY long - so upset when i finally got my period as i have never been that late and was hoping for a miracle. infact now i am ttc my cycles have become 4-5 days longer than they used to be. WHY??? makes the whole cycle longer.

MeerkatsUnite · 02/10/2005 09:08

Emkana,

Those very early tests are not 100% accurate hence me suggsting test when you're a week late. Also a person does not ovulate every single cycle.
