7 days late and a negative test?!

24 replies

Mumtobe26 · 23/06/2014 15:12

Hello! I know no one will have the answer but I'm usually regular but this month i am 7 days late and i've done a bunch of tests from cheap ones to expensive ones and they are all negative. I'm never late and with my first pregnancy it showed positive on the first day of my missed period. Should i just accept i'm not pregnant?

Hi Mumtobe, i am 6 days late and have done loads of tests too and all have come back negative, have you got any symptoms or signs that you are pregnant?

Hi angelaham! It's so frustrating isn't it! Well I'm not sure if I am getting symptoms or if I'm just over-thinking it! I am super tired and so irritable that i don't even want to be around me right now! I keep trying to remember if this is how I felt with my first pregnancy, but that time I tested on the 3 day late and it was positive.. hmmm..

How about you? Is this your first? x

I am 7 days late as well and all tests have been negative so far.

Fruityb · 23/06/2014 20:06

I was 7 days late last cycle but AF turned up on that day.

angelaham · 23/06/2014 20:06

Yeah its so frustrating, this is our first time trying , i am feeling nausea, stretching feeling and cramp in my stomach, headache and had to have a nap yesterday, i'm trying to not think about it incase its stress that is keeping AF away but its on my mind all the time

fattycow · 23/06/2014 20:21

I think it is stress in my case. I've had some spotting late last night and again today, but nothing like period yet.

angelaham · 23/06/2014 20:29

FX for a bfp soon for us all

What tests have you all be taking? I have done a clear blue and first response, that's why i keep thinking it's just my body being weird otherwise it would haven shown by positive now i would have guessed :( xx

angelaham · 23/06/2014 21:06

Iv used a cheap Tesco one and clear blue, i have heard that some people only get a positive with the doctors test as they are more sensitive

fattycow · 23/06/2014 21:54

I have used two Clear Blue Digitals and one from another brand.

The thing I'm really scared of is ectopic pregnancy, as that often gives negative results on home tests. I will give it another week before I go to the gp, as I just do not have time to go this week.

Oh really?! I didn't know that.. well i'm almost 8 days now, but i did say at the wknd that if I'm in the same position by the end of this week i'll go to the doc.

I just don't get it?! How can i be this late and it be negative? Well i do know but I'm not stressed, i did go on a diet this month but i don't get why that'd interfere with it?

Yes, it happened to someone I'm really close to. All tests had been coming back negative, but at 12 weeks her tube ruptured and she nearly died... Scary stuff, but thankfully not very common. Still, if you have experienced it from close by, the possibility gets stuck in your mind.

Mumtobe26 · 23/06/2014 23:06

Yeah that's scary, good to know though. I hope she's ok now?

Do you think you'll do another test btw?

OP posts:

fattycow · 24/06/2014 15:05

She is okay now, I guess, but her chances of pregnancy have gone down quite a lot due to missing one tube and ovary now.

Period arrived in full flow here this morning.

Oh i'm sorry to hear that :( how long have you been trying for? Mine still hasn't arrived. Going to do another test in a bit but i'm not getting my hopes up.

OP posts:

fattycow · 24/06/2014 15:32

We started trying at the start of this year.
How about you?

Mumtobe26 · 24/06/2014 16:32

Did another and it's neg still so i'm guessing it's just my body being weird. We already have a little girl and when i tested with her it came up positive on the first day. Tbh we haven't actually started trying again, we were thinking about next year so the timing wouldn't be brilliant, but now i'm late we are both a bit hopeful!

OP posts:

angelaham · 24/06/2014 19:50

Glad your friend was ok in the end, done another test tonight and its still negative, maybe its just my body playing tricks on me, still going to try and get a doctor appointment on friday

Mumtobe26 · 24/06/2014 20:03

oh angelaham i think we're in the same boat! Keep us updated with what the doctor says! Fingers crossed! xx

OP posts:

angelaham · 24/06/2014 20:32

yes i certainly will keep you updated, if i cant get an appointment on friday then iv got a nurse appointment on tuesday, let me know how you get on to Mumtobe x

angelaham · 24/06/2014 21:14

Im not sure if this is the reason why my AF is late or gone missing, but last month i took Pregnacare conception and i have read reviews that it can have that type of effect on people, not all people but some people have been on it and had had late periods or none, i am wondering if this is the reason why i am late, just wanted to bring it to you attention

Thanks for sharing angelaham!

I'm a bit confused. I just took, yes another, test and it was negative. It was a boots early dector one. For some reason I remembered I had the one i took yesterday in the bin and i had a quick look. At the time it was neg and now these is a tiny bit of line making it simular to the positive. I'm confused. Is this just because it's been sat around?!!

OP posts:

angelaham · 25/06/2014 19:03

how long did you go back to it after putting in the bin, i would not like to say either way as i am not sure, maybe a trip to the doctors to have a test

martinsgirl · 25/06/2014 22:38

I'm in the same boat. TTC first baby. Came of pill the end of April. Had 28day cycles on the pill, last month it was 29days and now I'm on day 34 but nothing. Took a test which was negative. Just been on holiday, so thinking that jet lag and different time zones have probably knocked it off a bit. Wish it would hurry up though so I can get on with trying again lol!
