My cycle are normally 26 days but I'm currently on CD31 what I'm feeling is really sore breast, lower right back pinches, tiredness and a cold. I tok a test 3 days ago and it was negative... don't know what to do... some advice please

Can you get hold of another test? Preferably a pink dye one testing with your first morning urine.

If you are pregnant, I would expect it to show up by now....otherwise it could just be a late period, we all get them occasionally and normally no real explanation.

Mommyto4littleones · 29/03/2020 11:54

I can today, I never been late before except when I was pregnant

Good luck with the test x

You most probably ovulated late, it can happen.

Mommyto4littleones · 29/03/2020 14:05

I O'd on CD 13 and that was the 11th of this month and thank you. I thought it was stress but I'm honestly not stressed so I don't know what else it could be

I took my tests about 5 days late and got very strong positives.

Mommyto4littleones · 29/03/2020 14:08

Let us know how the test goes!

FWIW, I'm late 30's and my cycle is normally like clockwork but a couple of times over the years I remember being over a week late with no explanation whatsoever. The female body works in weird ways.

Hope you get the result you're hoping for x

Tbh it could be pregnancy implanting later than usual or it could be a wayward period. Mine are always every month but with a 10 day variation. However once a few years ago i missed a period then had 2 yhe following month with no explanation. Has never happened before or since. The female body is a mystery. Good luck. Try test today if you can get one :)

So I took a blue dye test and it is positive but... I don't really trust blue dye to much and all the bad reviews on blue dye I didn't even try to get my hopes up because it's heartbreaking... The store didn't have any pink dye 😔 I'm going to wait

I'm sure you can't get a false positive

sel2223 · 30/03/2020 08:55

Do you have a picture of the test? Did it show up positive within the stated time frame?

It's a lot more common to get a false negative than a false positive!

Mommyto4littleones · 30/03/2020 12:09

I didn't keep the test because I just didn't want to put so much hope into it😔 I'm becoming impatient but don't want to buy a test everyday😣 6 days late now but I called my doctor and she said wait till a week after missing my period to test again... whhhhhyyy soooo long?

Could you order a test online? It'll probably take a few days to arrive by which time your period will either be well over a week late or you might have come on anyway.

somegoodnewsforonce · 30/03/2020 13:37

Order a frer from amazon.

If you've had a positive and you're late then I'd definitely think you're pregnant though.

Congrats

Mommyto4littleones · 30/03/2020 13:56

What's a good brand to buy from Amazon?

OP posts:
somegoodnewsforonce · 30/03/2020 14:52

First response early result - frer Smile

thethirdbar · 30/03/2020 18:14

i did a clearblue one with first wee of the day when i was 4 days late and it was pretty much instant. i'm having twins tho which i think can mean more of the HCG hormone floating around in there.

as commenters above have noted - false positives are very very rare. that doesn't stop us all from doing a thousand tests though to 'make sure'. i restrained myself and only did another three... Grin

good luck xxx

Peanut55 · 30/03/2020 20:14

False positives are rare!! Fingers crossed op.

Mommyto4littleones · 31/03/2020 15:17

I tested yesterday on pink dye and got a negative.. I'm not sure anymore. Maybe I won't get AF this month? Im 7 days late now and have no idea what's wrong with me😞

Hi OP

I don’t want to give false hope but in the same week I had:
1 x FRER False negative
1 x Clear Blue early detection false negative
1 x CBED total dud! Not even a control line

These were all different packs.

I took a CB digital and got my positive result and am now 24 weeks pregnant!

Every woman is different and prefers differently tests - personally I favour digital but that’s just because of my sitch above!

If you’re 7 days late then you should be coming up positive on regular tests regardless of dye but sometimes our body’s are freaky xx
