Is it all in my head?!

I have been pregnant 5 times with one full term pregnancy, unfortunately early losses around the 6 week mark.

I am approx 13/14 dpo and have sore boobs, sicky feeling in my throat and the dreaded brain fog I usually get when I test positive.

I have tested both last night and this morning and both are negative (pic attached)

I'm confused, if my hcg was high enough to give me these symptoms surely it would be high enough to show on an early test at this point?

I can't find anything concrete online about what level of hcg results in symptoms (thought I'm assuming this can't be studied anyway as some women have symptoms and some have non)

I'm just feeling lost as if it's not pregnancy hormone making me feel like this then they can't be symptoms surely?!

I can see a faint line on both of those tests! Very faint but I'm sure it's there.

A blood test shows it before urine test - you could order one off Amazon

I agree with @purpledaisy60, have you got some different tests, I really rate the boots early tests if you can get hold of any?

helpme2023 · 24/07/2023 10:59

Oh really! I assumed it was a shadow, I'll see if I can get some this afternoon for the morning 🤞🏻

Hi @helpme2023 if you can, get the Boots pregnancy strips and i would also get a digital clearblue one xx

I don’t want to build any hopes but I can see a vvvfl on both of those tests.
the clear blue aren’t the most accurate, try to get some boots early detection if you can and test with fmu tomorrow.
good luck, let us know how you get on

Hi sorry to jump on this thread I’m new to mumsnet and unsure how to start a new one lol used a Superdrug test this morning and unsure if this is an indent or faint positive. After buying them I read terrible reviews online so left me pretty unsure. All my local boots etc don’t seem to have FRERS in stock. Currently 11po xx

Ncl31 · 24/07/2023 12:31

@Loumck94x thats looks positive to me. Tentative congratulations! Did it come up within the time frame?
Try to get the boots early detection if you can, there seems to be a shortage of frer at the moment.

Loumck94x · 24/07/2023 13:14

@Ncl31 went to Asda and got some clear blue there and got this result couldn’t help myself. Still have another one so will wait a couple of days af due Thursday xx

I've tried the boots early this morning and there's no second line at all so maybe it is all in my mind!
