Advice on negative pg tests?

Kate123cl · 02/04/2018 18:59

Hey! Just looking for some experience! Has anyone actually been pregnant and took a while to show positive on a hpt? I have a few symptoms and in general feel like I could be! My AF would've been due between last Thursday and yesterday but took a hpt last Wednesday and yesterday and both show negative :( I'm using Superdrug's cheap make. I'm NEVER late for AF so feeling positive. Almost every post I've read seems that everyone tests positive before their AF is due so feeling a bit disappointed at the moment! Sad

I’m going to scrap those amazon ones as I don’t think they are sensitive enough or even work! @kate123cl, what’s going on your end?? Anymore testing?
I’m going to buy one today.... don’t you hate buying them, you hide them incase you see someone you know 😂😂
Woke up this morning with these cramps still.... what on earth are they? I don’t remember having these with dd Confused
When the urine went along the strip it came up then it disappeared.... I had one of those heart racing moments 😂 xxx

@Rose2887 I've never used the amazon ones! Not a lot happening this end! Still absolutely no sign of AF arriving or even wanted to arrive! Sure I'm experiencing morning sickness as this morning I was so nauseated I had to get off of the bus!!
I know what you mean re buying them, it feels quite awkward! Lol especially if you keep going back to buy more Grin what sort of cramps are they? AF type ones?? I had the same happen to me yesterday with disappearing line! Such a tease! Xxx

@Kate123cl
I’m so confused.. purchased a clear blue digital test and it said not pregnant 🙄 not sure what’s going on, I’m convinced I am, although read instructions and they aren’t sensitive so that’s a waste of money 😠
What are we going to do? Keep worrying about a ep!!! How are you feeling? Xxx

Lilly1207 · 10/04/2018 12:47

Wow reading through your thread I feel like I’m in the same boat! 5 days late, 3 cheap tests all negative! I’m usually like clockwork. Lots of symptoms... all so confusing!!

Pereie · 10/04/2018 13:09

What is the rule? If it's still negative 18 days after ovulation it's game over?

If your hormones are high enough for morning sickness they would be high enough to give a positive.

You might just be having a funny cycle though it does sound like you are pregnant. How annoying.

@Kate123cl mine was a cheap one from bodycare. Think it was ‘clear and simple’ or something like that. There’s nothing clear and simple about it 🙈

@Kate123cl

Well boobs are still tingling, cramps still there, literally could of put money on being pregnant but with this digital test being negative doesn’t look that way, I was tempted to ring drs but thinking maybe my bodies going through withdrawal from the pill, although how do some people miss a pill and fall pregnant so easily??!!!
Let me know how you get on? I’ve ordered a frer so will wait and test with that Grin not going to tell dp as he will think I’m mad if I tell him I’ve tested about 5x this week 😂😂 xxxxx

Same as me lol!! Any other symtoms? I've got really bad backache and loads of clear CM which I'm hoping is a good sign! I've had normal AFs since being off the pill so don't think mine is withdraw?! Ah great! When's the test coming? Lol I know what you mean about dps thinking we're crazy! The amount of times mine has walked in on me poas! Lol😂🙈 xxx

@Kate123cl

All sounds promising doesn’t it 😊 well this is going to sound mad but my jeans are tight... and my lower stomach is really hard!!!! Weird I know...
I’m going to buy a test for supermarket and hope that the digital ones aren’t stronger enough as had a look online and loads of people saying they didn’t work until they were quite far along 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I’ve not had an actual period since end of feb... so I’m so Confused 🤷‍♀️ xxxx

@Rose2887 Oh really?! That sounds like a good sign! I think that's a good idea, I don't think the digital ones are very good really, there seems to be more negative stories than positive! It's just annoying not knowing isn't it!🙄 xxxx

Lilly1207 · 10/04/2018 19:08

I’ve just been to Asda and purchased a first response. It’s so hard waiting but I’ll do it in the morning! It’s so strange I actually felt the same with regards to tight jeans! Hope it’s not a good baby 🙈

Lilly1207 · 10/04/2018 19:08

*food 🙈

katienana · 10/04/2018 19:13

My negative until my period was 2 weeks late is now a sleepy 2 year old! This was using clearblue, I didn't get a positive until I.used a Morrison's cheapy. Remember weeing on.it, seeing there was no line, throwing it in the bin, then remembering you are supposed to wait so had to retrieve it and then seeing 2 lines, but obviously not trusting them so had to retest to be sure!

Lilly1207 · 11/04/2018 06:53

I think I might just have my first BFP!! I’m not sure if I’m hallucinating but did ask my partner who agreed that although faint, there was definitely a line there!! Can this happen with FR? Xx
