could I be pregnant after 3 negatives?

[wonderingifiam2013]

Username says it all.

TTC #2 and I was due on yesterday. I've felt pregnant for the last week or so, symptoms include headaches, pinching/pulling in uterus area, nausea (but no actual sickness) - but now I'm wondering if it's all in my head?

Tested early twice last week (as I tested positive early with my first) but both came back negative.

Then yesterday I started leaking colostrum. I don't know if it's linked - but I met a pregnant friend and I felt a little leak! Then I checked and there was the orangey liquid I got at 33 weeks last time and today a little milk. Could that be my hormones knowing my friend is carrying a baby? (sounds strange I know!)

So I bought a digital test and it clearly states not pregnant! Am I imagining all the symptoms? And is the leaking something to worry about? (I stopped breast feeding my 1st over a year ago and have been dry since ... I know as I've often had the odd squeeze!)

So after 3 negatives ... am I mad to think I could actually be pregnant?

Congratulations pompompom! That's fantastic news! :) so happy for you :)

Fingers crossed it'll happen soon ... I think we only did it once the month #1 was concieved so feeling a bit :( but I guess it only takes 1 little swimmer! :)

Mapal - I know you're right ... and I am doubting very much the tests are wrong. But I've been on a regular cycle for 4 months now (6 months since coming off the pill) so thought this month was the one as I've never had any pregnancy symptoms in the previous 5 months or even done a test as I just knew I wasn't! This month feels very different ... but I also know it could be in my head :(

Congratulations on your BFP too! :)

Oh thanks, I'm actually now on my 4th pregnancy and they all took wildly varying lengths of time to conceive.
First time (DS) took 8 months, 2nd time took literally one go (like your first!) but sadly miscarried, 3rd time was the one that took 11 months and I was convinced we'd both magically become infertile, felt like forever. That sadly miscarried too. I'm now on my 4th (6 weeks and holding my breath to make it to 12 weeks) and this was first go (again!).
So, I guess what I'm saying is, try to be patient, I'm sure it will happen even though it is so disappointing when it takes longer than a few months. Best of luck. x

Oh Mapal I'm so sorry to hear about your losses :(

Here's to a happy scan at 12 weeks this time :)

thank you wondering

Mapal - we're in the same situation, you must be just a few days ahead of me. 4th pg. Last 2 have been early MCs and crossing fingers that this one sticks.

I think the Superdrug standard tests are fab. They picked my BFP up 2 days before AF was due... probably not very helpful advice but I do think they are the best I've used.

Both pregnancies I was over a week late before I tested positive. With #2 I leaked colostrum too.

Good luck!

Ah Pompom, good luck! Would be good if we both make it this time. Are you having an early scan? I had one on tues, could just make out a tiny flickering heart beat. A bit reassuring I suppose but things probably looked the same at this stage with the last two I reckon, miscarriages were at 12 weeks and 10 weeks.

We're having an early scan but not until 8 weeks. I'm just at the point of my first MC with this one (just shy of 6 weeks) so fingers crossed. Mine were both very early, so I'm hopeful that if I can just get past 6-7 weeks that this one will stick. it's a nervous time though.

Sorry wondering - hijacking a bit :)

Don't be daft pompompom! :) got my fingers crossed for you both

As for me - I'm still waiting, and I'll be a week late tomorrow!

Slightly giving up hope on a positive so if it's going to arrive, I want it to arrive asap so we can get on with the sticks.

Wishing you both lots of luck with sticky little babies :)

Its just torture isn't it. Really hope you get a BFP :)

Any news wondering? X

Hi pompompom - thanks for asking :)

After being a week late ... my period arrived on Friday :(

I was just relieved in the end, drank lots and can now get ready to start using the sticks! I'm just a bit confused as when to start as this cycle was 35 days (usual 28) and I've only got the 7 day kit. Should I just buy another or start on day 10 and hope for the best?

Hope you're doing well too

Aww sorry to hear that, it sucks doesbt it. My cycle started off at 28 days too but that seemed to go wonky once I started ttc.
Start on day 10 and see what happens. Internet cheapy ovulation tests are good, you can get them from amazon. I think its def worth doing them to work out your cycle. Superdrug ones also good and not too expensive.
If you continue getting irregular cycles then vit B6 can help regulate things too.

I'm ok thanks. 6 week tomorrow and bricking it.

Thanks Pompompom - it does but I'm feeling ok about it ... just hope I don't go potty at the end of this month like last!

Will start on the sticks next week and see what happens :)

Hope you're doing well at 6 weeks - got everything crossed for you

Probably stay off here for a bit now - but hope to be back with some good news soon :)
