Symptoms but -ve pg test - confused

38 replies

Hi all

I'm on day 23 of my cycle and for the past couple of days I've been feeling mildly sick and have had slightly sensitive boobs. I know it's early but I did a test yesterday and today with the First Response 6 days early one and they were both negative.

I'm confused as I am having symptoms - has anyone had something similar and then found out they were pregnant?

I tested early with this preg as I just knew I was pregnant. I did an early test (2 in fact) and both negative.Wasn't until I was 2 days late that I got a positive.
Good luck.
It seems like such a long wait doesn't it.

Aw thanks - I do feel pg, but I just don't know if I'm over analysing everything!

I'll try to wait until Friday and test again - I didn't test until at least 10 days past AF due date the last two times so I don't know how early it'll show up.

Congratulations on your pregnancy Smile.

I've spoken to lots of people who have said with subsequent pregnancies they were far more alert to the symptoms second/third time around.....
Please update via thread.....Smile

Fingers crossed mrs Bradley, I have been in similar boat and AF came eventually (late!) unfortunately. That's not to say that it I'll be the same for you- heard loads of stories on here about ladies not getting positive until quite a while after AF due. Remember to try first thing next time as that is when the hormone will be more concentrated.

PuppyMummy · 01/07/2012 17:30

hi I'm in a similar situation. af was due Fri or sat as I normally have a 23/24 day cycle. no af on Fri so I tested sat morning. got a very very faint line so faint that oh said there wasn't one, did 2 more tests and one was very very faint again and the other nothing really!
however still no af so going to test again in morning.
if u don't get af try testing in a couple of days.
Fingers crossed for u

Thanks Smile

PuppyMummy - a line is a line!! Keep testing and I'm sure congratulations will soon be in order.

After my last post I did a bit of research on the internet cheapie ones and it turns out they are not as sensitive and reliable as they make out......so I have bought a clearblue digital and will test tomorrow morning.

Will check back after I've done it with my results and to hear yours PuppyMummy!

I know but it was so faint that oh declared 2/3 of them not lines! I used a clear blue plus first that was very very very faint then in afternoon a first response which was faint but you could see it then a superdrug (which are supposed to be good and very sensitive 10mu) but that was mega faint and even I wasn't convinced!

I'm going to do the other superdrug in morning and also have a cb digital that I'm saving for a special occasion!!

good luck with yours

seven77 · 01/07/2012 21:04

I was 8 days late before I finally got a + with DD, I'd advise not to test too often tbh, I spent a bloody fortune on tests. It didn't change the fact that I was pregnant though.

puppymummy my very faint line is now 7 months. I broke the news to DH by saying "if you can see that line too I'm pregnant"!

I'm now 3 days late, good luck ladies!

I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning - did the clearblue
Digi and got a BFP!!!!! Woohooooo!

Also did the super sensitive Internet cheapie one
With the same pee and it was negative - I'd never recommend them to anyone.

Waiting to hear from everyone else - fingers crossed!!

PuppyMummy · 02/07/2012 06:42

CONGRATULATIONS!

I have done a superdrug and the cb digital this morning and both bfn. oh was obviously right about the non-lines!

however am still waiting for af to arrive so hopefully it will stop messing about and get here so I can get on with cd1.

Thanks PuppyMummY!

You could still be pg - try again in a few days - it might be that the hcg level is not high enough to register yet.

If I was still doing those internet cheapie tests I would be none the wiser because they are still showing no line!!! They are supposed to be very sensitive as well.

seven77 · 02/07/2012 09:18

Congratulations!

When I got my very faint 8 days late BFP it was a first response, CB digital still showed negative. It's not over until AF arrives. Still no AF here, I'm testing tomorrow morning.

PuppyMummy · 02/07/2012 13:06

seven77 i'm glad your in the same boat (is that horrible? I don't mean I'm glad - i'm sorry you don't have a bfp yet but its nice to have someone to share the wierdness with!)

I am now 2 days late - 3 if you count Friday... and still no sign of af...

I have used all the tests I had and no more in house so I am def not testing til Friday now because its driving me crazy wondering so I am putting it out of my head. So we will see if af turns up before then...

seven77 · 02/07/2012 13:17

I think you're sensible not testing again until then. The only reason I'm not testing obsessively is because I've been in this situation before, I must have wasted around £50 on tests last time! I've got a pack coming on my tesco order tonight hence testing tomorrow morning. I've only done one so far on the day AF was due.

Are you normally very regular?

PuppyMummy · 02/07/2012 17:45

quite regular. I came off the pill in Jan before starting to ttc. started trying end of April. since Jan they have been from 22 to 24 days but generally 23. I'm now on day 26. am feeling quite crampy this eve so to be honest expecting af although no sign yet...

MrsBradleyCooper · 02/07/2012 18:39

PuppyMummy - I was feeling crampy all day yesterday and I was absolutely convinced it was Af on it's way!

I was SO shocked when I got the BFP so you never know...... Especially as you are late.....

OP posts:
PuppyMummy · 03/07/2012 06:47

obviously not as regular as I thought!
af here today!

MrsBradleyCooper · 03/07/2012 08:22

Aw sorry PuppyMummy, hope you're ok?
At least you know now and you can try again xx

OP posts:
MrsHelsBels74 · 03/07/2012 08:25

This time round I took about 6 pregnancy tests & it was a week after I was due on before I got a positive. I too was absolutely convinced I was pregnant but the tears said otherwise, it was very frustrating but got my positive eventually!

MrsHelsBels74 · 03/07/2012 08:27

Sorry, I'm not quite awake here & only skimmed the thread before posting...

PuppyMummy · 03/07/2012 17:04

thanks MrsBradleycooper.

yes I'm fine. I feel better now I know what's going on! was only our 3rd cycle ttc so not at stressing stage yet!

bring on cycle 4!

seven77 · 03/07/2012 18:25

My DD was conceived on cycle 4, so good luck.

My test may have had a very very faint line, though not dark enough to convince me I as really seeing it if that makes sense? Still no AF though ...

jaffacakehips · 03/07/2012 19:18

Hello, Congrats to those of you with lovely BFP! Hurrah.

My AF was due on the 29th June, yet i've had 5 BFN Hmm POAS is becoming part my new morning routine. I also have some systems. Sore boobs, which also feel very firm. My smell has gone blood hound crazy and this afternoon I felt very sick. So glad I have a 16 month old the run around after..Grin Going to see the GP on Friday is the clock of doom hasn't arrived.

Anyone got any bright ideas...as why I haven't got my AF yet?
