Did you ever get a negative but turned positive test?

[HelloOverHere]

So I've had a MC October 10th 2018 and I was 8 weeks preg.
I'm now wanting to get pregnant again and I've been using those Ovu Sticks, 27th November I got a positive ovulation result (YAY) and of course did the deed that day. But also did the deed on 25th and 26th ... i must of caught that egg surely lol

Anyways now I'm experiencing lower back pain on the right hand side, had cramps a few days ago and been feeling extremely tired. The tiredness I can't tell if it's all work related as I've set up another business and it's gone crazy! But I'm not a person who naps but I feel so exhausted I feel I need to.... this was kinda similar to my first pregnant.

Period is due in 8/9 days and I Took a test today and it came out negative ...

Was it just to early to pick up any hormones?
Anyone had a negative and then a week later had a positive?

Could I be pregnant ?

Yep. My second pregnancy. First came back negative, second faint positive, third proper positive, all taken a few days apart. I think when I took the first one, I was only a couple of days late and by the time I took my last one about a week over. 8 or 9 days before you’re due on a period, the egg might not have even implanted yet. I got implantation spotting with baby 3 about 5 days before I was due on a period but I waited until I was actually late before doing the test.

Oh and it took me a while after a MC at 6 weeks before it actually happened so try to relax and don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t happen first time.

Yes. I took the first test with a clear blue digital which said negative then took another test immediately after with a first response which said positive.

Really I should have waited another few days but I just felt different.

Yes I did and I even got a negative days after my period was due. I think you’ve just tested way too early, wait until your period is due. Fingers crossed for you!

That’s quite a long luteal phase if you ovulated around the 26th. It’s possible you didn’t actually ovulate in that date and you ovulated later, hence the negative test.

I’d just wait until your period is late before testing again.

It's never happened to me personally, but I have only ever tested at ~16dpo.

But I've heard of plenty of women testing far too early (it seems to be a thing now for some reason?), so they get a negative and then go on to get a positive some days later.

I'd say you are still in with a chance. It's not over until your period shows up. Good luck!

Early tests have not worked for me in either of my pregnancies, even AF--1, and I have wasted a small fortune.

so you know you ovulated on 27th Nov and your period is due on 19th December? That’s quite a long luteal phase isn’t it?

But to answer your question, yes it did happen to me. Got a negative test on the Monday (2 days before period was due). Drank too much on Tuesday thinking I definitely wasn’t pregnant. No sign of period on Wednesday so took another test to be sure. Negative. No sign of period on Thursday so took another test. Negative. No sign of period on Friday so took a test and it was (a faint) positive!

It turns out I ovulated late in that cycle, hence all the negatives. But you know when you ovulated - you are nearly 14 DPO.

I’d give it another 3 days and test again.

Hi ladies!

Thanks to everyone who messaged on the forum.
Quick update:
So based on my OVIA app my period was due on 17th December but today (12th) I've had light bleeding and guessing I'm on my period now.

I took an Ovu test - as last time that's how I found out I was pregnant. And had a strong positive which is strange right?

Then I took a pregnancy test and that's negative

Why would the Ovu test come up positive ?

Never used an ovulation kit so can’t comment on that but I do get cramps and various other symptoms mid cycle so am aware of roughly when I’m ovulating. Light bleeding 5 days before you’re due, it might be an early cycle or it might be implantation spotting. You really need to be patient and wait for a few days to be sure. I’m pregnant now and had implantation bleeding which I thought was the start of my period and was just a few days late but it only lasted about 24 hrs.

A few days early sorry

It’s quite normal to get a surge of LH just before your period apparently so could be that.

It would make more sense that it’s your period than anything else. It would mean a 15ish day luteal phase which is much healthier than 20 had your af arrived according to your app.

I don't think a 20 day luteal phase is actually possible is it? I always thought 16 days was pretty much the maximum length from ovulation to period arriving?

OP how is your app predicting when your AF is due?
