All the pregnancy symptoms but 2 negative tests

[violet06]

I have all the symptoms that I had with my first pregnancy- swollen breasts, slight period-like pains, falling asleep in the early afternoon and an expanded waistline. I had a very light period 6 days after I think I conceived (which I understand is normal) but that was 3 weeks ago and I have now done 2 negative tests.
Could these symptoms mean anything else? I went to the doctor who treated me like a neurotic woman and has sent me for blood tests for a number of things (will take a week to come back). So I am now worried I have something awful rather than being pregnant, which I feel.
I'm hoping someone may have some advice...x

hello i'm in the same boat!! actually wrote on a different thread but this is more recent. i am 10 days late, have vague period like pains and am very tired. however i don't have sore breasts like 1st time round. i have done 2 negative tests too and its driving me nuts, i just feel pregnant. and, although it would be nice it wasn't planned so i know its not wishful thinking. will go and see the gp and see if i can get further tests too. let me kknow how you get on!

i got two negative tests when my period was due (had the other symptoms you mentioned above)... then i did it again a week later and it was positive.
it might just be too early! are you doing them first thing in the morning when the hormone is strongest/urine not diluted?

meant to add, it could be a thyroid problem (for us both!) so that would come up on a blood test....

twickersmum when did you do your tests? mine were neg at 6 and 10 days after period due day. thanks

mine were a bit earlier than that - less than a week from what i remember. but i suppose it depends how regular you are / whether your cycle is sometimes long?

mine was negative 6 days late all the signs convinced myself I was n't then positive at 8 weeks prg

wow i think the suspense would kill me to wait to 8 weeks! hard enough to think about another week.

Thyroid was one of the things the blood test is for but I have none of the symptoms they list on NHS Direct. Does anyone know if there is anything else you'd get these symptoms with? Just had a 2 hr nap today- not like me at all. Thanks for all the replies...

I have been pregnant twice and each time have had to wait til nearly 2 weeks after due date for a positive test result. there are clearly a lot of us about whose hormones just arent strong enough when they are supposed to be. it is v tough to have to wait but anohter week should be all it takes to prove it one way or the other....

Thanks everyone. Just going to try and forget about it for a few days. x

I am now 5 days late and had unprotected sex before and after day 14. We are using the withdrawl method (not good i know) but what are my chances of being pregnant? i am always regular as clock work and had done a clear blue test around 12.00pm today which was negative. I am experiencing all the signs of my period stomach aches and have had lower back pain - unusual and have felt very bloated but had no actual bleeding. Should i be worried???

another negative preg test and finally period arrived over 2 weeks late!! v. unusual for me, but there you go.....so the test was right! violet did you get any results yet??

We are ttc. Period is two days late. I tested yesterday evening but BFN. Had nausea about two weeks ago which lasted about a week and seems to have eased a bit now. Lots of hip pain. Some cramps but no signs of period. I normally have some brown the day before (tmi sorry) anyone have any insights or experience of this. It’s hard when you want to see that line and don’t.

Hi KT!
This is my first time posting on here so forgive me for my late reply! I hope you see this.
Just wanted to know if possible what your results ended up being? I am experiencing something very similar!
Thanks
