Ectopic Pregnancy?????? Anyone experienced it???

The power of google has just freaked me out! I came off pill few months ago, 2 normal cycles then started ttc our second child. My period is now well over a week late, my breasts are swollen and tender, I've been having mild to medium cramps and mild stabbing pains in my rhs - at one point I thought my appendix must be going! So when I went to do a pregnancy test I was sure it was going to say pregnant. It came back negative so I left it three days and tried again - negative again. I fell instantly with my son but I always thought the dates must be off as when I took the test I was about 8 weeks gone already, when I had being doing test regularly before and not showing as positive. I put this down to my cycle messing around then as lots was going on in our lives, i.e. wedding etc, so my periods were all over the shop.

Could late period, cramps and swollen breasts just be because I 'want' to be pregnant again my body is almost tricking my period into being late, could I be showing false negatives or could this be an ectopic? I have to admit I have felt pretty relaxed about it all thinking when it happens it happens, but this is starting to play with my mind now! Any advice/ experiences?

When I had my ectopic tests still showed positive - I hope you are okay

AFAIK, an ectopic would definitely be positive as the HCG is higher than in a normal pg

At over a week late, I would expect a +ve by now if you we're pregnant, though it has been known for you not to get one

I'd give it a couple more days, test again and then start thinking about seeing the GP to find out what is going on

Thanks, I thought it would show positive as well but when I googled it all it said that quite often the HGC didn't show???
