So confused... could I be pregnant?

[Emae26]

I'm now on day 31 of my cycle, 3/4 days after when AF usually shows up. I have done multiple tests, mainly cheap ones and a couple of FRER and they have all come back negative. I've had various different symptoms for over a week now, nausea, backache and tiredness being the main ones.
What the heck is happening? Could I be pregnant? If so why isn't it showing up yet?

@pugmama7
yea I can see another faint line straight away, however, when I zoom it in I don't see the line. Without zoom a shadow of a line is definitely there.

How are you feeling overall?
Are you still getting symptoms of pregnancy?

@Healthypositivity I'm glad you can see it too. It's quite a bit clearer to the naked eye. Yes I feel like I've been hit full force. Headache, nausea so bad I can't even face drinking anything, lightheaded, backache, bbs and nipples are on fire, I'm weeing all the time and so bloated. I really don't think I'm making this up anymore. I'm still really cautious tho.

@pugmama7
All sounds like legit pregnancy symptoms. Try not to test for a week. You will defo get a clearer positive. I know it's easy to say than to actually do. HCG levels are probably just low ATM because it's so early on.

@Healthypositivity thank you so much for your advice :)

@Emae26 how are you getting on? Xx

@pugmama7 I'm not too bad. Glad to see you got another possible positive! I've have a bit of a nausea today and back pain. I just had a shower and I think my nipples are looking darker and I feel like I might be able to see the veins on my boobs more than usual but I'm not sure if that's my mind playing tricks on me or not. As I was about to get in the shower I had this needle like pain just inwards of my right hip that came and went for a while, then stopped and then about 10 minutes later came and went again in waves. I've have a google and some people have had similar and it's be implantation or ligaments and muscles ect stretching (think it's too late to be implantation). Just dying to know either way but somehow managing to stay calm (don't know how... 😂). I'm going away for a couple of nights so hopefully that'll keep me distracted until I test again on monday!

@Emae26 that's all positive! I had the same pain on my left side on and off for 3 days and was convinced it was AF coming. I'm really hoping you get your BFP on Monday :) xx

@pugmama7 I think so too! 🤞really? That's good to hear! Thank you, keep us updated as to how your testing goes, sending lots of baby dust your way ❤

OP I would maybe make an appointment to see your doctor if your period doesn’t arrive soon. A friend of mine had a very similar situation and had an ectopic pregnancy - lots of symptoms but negative tests due to the strange HCG levels with ectopic. Not trying to scare you but if the symptoms continue and no period soon, i would get checked out to be safe.

Do you know for sure when ovulation happened or could it have been later?
