Hi everyone Smile
I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and it has to be said it's been a massive help to me over the past few days. The reason being, I think I'm possibly pregnant, but took two tests (from Waitrose) and both came up negative. I don't feel like I'm ready to talk to any of my friends or family about this, because I'm a very private person. Plus Part of me feels like I'm being silly, because without a positive result, who knows what's going on! Basically we've been trying to get pregnant, but I had kind of given up in a way. About 3 weeks ago I had a bit of a faintly episode (feeling queasy etc) on one day, then about a week later I felt queasy again. Also my boobs are unusually sore right now. I didn't think anything of any of this, I was just expecting the usual period from hell that I've been having since being off the pill. I'm always as regular as clockwork every 28 days, but suddenly realised that I've missed a period. When I have one I always write it in my diary because I get a bit moody before, so I like to know when to have extra self-awareness!!! After checking I realised I'm now a week late. I've been having horrible period type cramps for at least two weeks now (on and off everyday). I keep thinking this is it, I'm going to come on, but nothing happens. So here I am in limbo. I haven't really got a clue what to do now. Should I go to the doctors at some point, or just keep taking tests each week? Do I behave carefully because I might be pregnant (with eating etc), or am I just being a bit over cautious? I would love some advice please. Has anyone else had a similar experience? If I'm not pregnant I'm scared of what this could be! Thanks.

Hopefully someone else will come along with better advice soon who's been in a similar situation but I'd suggest getting an appointment with the Dr & explaining everything you have here. As you said, with two negative tests I'd say it seems unlikely this is a pregnancy but I'd go & get checked out just in case.

Hi, I didn't get my bfp until 13 days past my missed period, but that was because I ovulated really really late (3 days before period) and then left big gaps between testing. It was negative at a week late however. It could be the same for you?

I'd leave it a week and test again, if not go to the docs.

good luck!

That's happened to me before actually lemon101, but about 10 years ago. I remember missing one period, and testing and it was negative. I believed the test and forgot all about it. Then I missed another period, dug out the 2nd test, and it was positive. I was so upset about the whole thing, then miscarried. I'm finding being in limbo very tough right now. But going to take your advice. Thanks. : ) I've never missed a period in my life, except when I was pregnant, so fingers crossed.

How do I tag people? I'm on an iPad, and can't seem to do it! (Sorry, newbie here).
