Negative pregnancy test, lots of symptoms. What does it mean?

[Nelly28]

Hello, this is my first post on here and I'm really hoping someone can help as I'm feeling so confused! I am 4 days late for my period, I'm normally like clock work and never missed one before, I've been having mild stomach cramps, lots of acid reflux and feeling bloated (and gassy!) all the time. BUT I've taken a pregnancy test every morning since I was due on and they've all come back negative, not even the slightest hint of a line!
We've been trying for 6 months so I'm really hoping this is it, but I'm also really nervous about getting my hopes up and for them to come crashing down if I do come on.
Has anyone been through the same?

I'm in the same boat except I've missed 2 periods now and got all negative tests. I've heard some women get a BFP very late like week 10 and beyond sometimes. It's just a waiting game! :( all the best x

Unfortunately those symptoms can be attributed to lots of other things other than pregnancy, particularly if you are symptom spotting, you are going to add 2 + 2 and get 5. Without a positive test, then unfortunately you are very very unlikely to be pregnant.

Some tests are more sensitive than others so perhaps look into those and try and different brand?

Stress can delay your period so if feel anxious about this, it's probably part of the explanation.

I am in the Sam boat as you. Have all the pregnancy symptoms but the test that I did today came bsck negative. I have not had a proper period in months due to the mini pill and so it is hard trying to work it out. Hope you can get some answers soon

The waiting game is so horrible! I thought the TWW was bad enough- I never counted on having to wait after a missed period to be sure!
I know what Cuppa12345 is saying is right- but I can't help getting my hopes up!
Hoping you both get positives soon - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! X

:( period has just come. Feel rubbish physically- super sick, but also really cross and embarrassed I let myself get my hopes up so much. Good luck everyone who is still waiting
