Have officially started ttc and been shagging for England. Thing is I feel wierd this week. My stomach feels bloated and I feel like I want to be sick, but am not. Just did a test out if curiosity and it's negative - which is cool, but feel wierd, can't explain it. Anyone got any advice?
Thanks in advance x

Same happened to me in December, I took the negative test as proof I wasn't... However tested again after my period was a couple of days late and there was my bfp. Ended in early miscarriage but I had been pregnant, not going crazy like I thought I was haha.

Test again once your period is late. It could be too early to have enough hormones for the test to pick up. Also use first morning wee.

Do you understand how the timings of a cycle/fertile times work? You are testing way too early and at the time of your symptoms you would unlikely even be pregnant yet, more like just ovulating. You will stress yourself out less if you know when you should be looking for what.

Yes, I believe I now do know the timings of my cycle etc work!! I also know my body quite well. As for testing there is lots of speculation as to when the right time to do it is. I was more curious. I'm not stressed out at all.

I didn't really believe that you could 'test too early'...until I tested like a demon straight after DTD, kept getting negatives until....yep you've guessed it - AF was a day late. Wham, BFP.

Blush apparently you can test too early.

I got a BFN at 9dpo, faint BFP at 11dpo, super strong BFP at 14dpo (day period was due). You're likely to just be 3dpo so you won't feel symptoms yet and a pregnancy test won't pick up any hCG yet. Do you know exactly when you ovulated?

I don't know why I tested at 11dpo (I know why I did at 9dpo, I was being silly Grin) but I felt like I needed to, otherwise I would have left it. The best time to test is the day your period is due.

What is dpo?

Speculation as to when is the right time to test Hmm well yes some people test early from about 8 or 9 dpo but there is absolutely no point testing when your period is 2 weeks away. You will literally just be pissing your money away. It's not possible to get a positive result that early. It obviously takes quite a few days after sperm meets egg to travel to the uterus and implant, and to get the hormones out into your system to be picked up by a test.

Days past ovulation.

If you can, just wait until your period is late.

Noappointmentnecessary · 07/04/2014 21:29

I'm due on 18th April x
