Is it possible to be 11-12 woks and get BFNs?

Ok, so I'm driving myself mad. We weren't ttc. However, I've been feeling for a while now like I'm pg. I have 3 DC and some of the signs are similar. We used protection but of course contraception can fail.
I have done numerous tests over the last few weeks and all have been neg. Some of the tests had a super faint hint of something but so faint that I assumed must be evap lines as no colour to the line and could only be seen when held up to the light and looking very hard.
Anyway, so I accepted I'm not and tried to move on. Tonight I was lying down watching tv and felt a sensation like fluttering, you know, the feeling you get when you first start feeling baby move.
I looked on the calendar and we would have last done the deed around 11-12 wks ago.
I honestly feel like I'm going mad. What is going on?!!

Tried the 'answer' test. Negative, not even shiny of a line. Thought I felt flutterings again last night.
I am obviously losing the plot!

When I got back from the school run, if I held the test at a certain angle I could see a super faint hint of a line. Might be my eyes playing tricks on me thoughHmm

Meant to say, I felt the fluttery feeling again last night and this morning. I'm really bored of this now. I'm worried that if I see the gp they'll just do a test and say it's neg then I'll feel embarrassed.
Maybe it actually is all in my headBlush

They can do an exam at this stage and reassure you

What kind of exam? Feeling my stomach?

As the weeks go on a hpt can fail to work due to so much of the hormone in your wee as I found when pregnant, you actually have to dilute it and mix it with water for it to register rather then use the most concentrated, might be worth a try first if you want to exacted the embarrassment at the gp?

I would but the line is so faint I can't really catch it on my phone camera..

I was trying to earlier, it's a proper squinter.

I'll try with an old cheapy one that was more prominent..

Ok, so I tried to get a photo of the test but it just doesn't show up well enough. The line is a real squinter.
I ordered some tests online that are the same as Tesco ones (I think) so am
Just waiting for the postman.
Had more flutters. If it's not a baby moving then my tummy is doing some very strange things at the momentHmm

Tested again with the tests that look similar to Tesco ones. Tried fmu and diluted urine. Both negative!

I rang the drs to try and book a blood test, no apps so I just have to ring each morning.

Keep us posted x

Thanks allchat, it is frustrating. I just want to know what's going on either wayConfused I'd rather not be pg if I'm honest (but will accept it if I am) but it's very confusing to think I can feel a baby in my tummyHmm weird..

OP posts:
ginslinger · 28/11/2013 10:11

sorry I didn't check threads I'm on- I don't know if they could do it from feeling your tummy but they could do an internal exam. Sorry this is so frustrating for you.

No problem ginSmile
I have given up testing as there's no point, they all just come up neg..
Just gonna wait to see if I get a period and go from there. Still feeling 'movements' but after a quick google I see that this can happen, referred to as phantom kicks.

OP posts:
allchatnicknamesgone · 28/11/2013 19:18

Ah. How old is your youngest dc? I had those phantom flutter kicks for a long time afterwards. Very infrequently, but I recall them happening very occasionally even years later.
Oh well, really hope your wait isn't too long!

neontetra · 28/11/2013 19:27

I still get phantom kicks frequently now, 19 months after giving birth. My friend gets this too, and we google it frequently - it is not uncommon. Hope you get the answer you are really hoping for, either way. X

cupoftchai · 28/11/2013 19:51

I get 'baby kicks' feelings which I firmly believe r just gas. Apparently we get sensitised to those feelings from being preg

cupoftchai · 28/11/2013 20:11

(I have done a test for that very reason though!)

They seem to be happening several times a day and quite a bit in the evening.

Update - really feeling lots of movement in my tummy every day. Feels EXACTLY like a baby.
Rang local midwife and she said I would have to be 20 weeks to feel movement and would deffo test positive. I felt my DC1 move around 10 weeks.. I feel like a total lunatic nowConfused

OP posts:
Metalhead · 01/12/2013 10:33

What the midwife said is clearly not true, unless she meant more pronounced movements as opposed to the bubbling/fluttering feeling you get at first.

But you really need to go and see a doctor, there's no way around it! (Especially since if you really are pregnant you'll need a scan pretty sharpish). Good luck!

Thanks Metal.. I am going to have to bite the bullet and see a dr I guess.. Was hopping the midwife would offer to listen in with her doppler or something, but instead she just said I must be imagining itHmm
My sense of smell is strong again and I'm still having to wee more than usual..
