Positive and then negative?

[Sophhh25]

Hi all,

I’m a bit confused at the moment, I’m currently 43 days without a period, I have 33 day cycles roughly, couple days ago I tested positive twice with mild aching pains in stomach as if my period was coming but it didn’t and couple days later I tested negative. I haven’t been late like this for years. I have been awful tired lately and struggling to find energy to go to work etc and breasts are quite sore and have been feeling nauseous occasionally. Any ideas??

Many thanks

Did you test with the same brand test, in the morning? If later on it could be diluted. I’d ring your dr and they may do a blood test or scan to find out what’s going on

Yes used same brand in morning, I’ve haven’t been this late in a long time, I’m usually pretty regular. I had a dark like on ovulation tests for 4 days before I did the positive pregnancy test. X

I took about 11 tests. First was a really dark line, then they kept getting faint. I’m now 28 weeks, but it was very stressful. I’d get a blood test from your GP to be sure :)

Thankyou!! I’ve never received a line on a pregnancy test before so surely there must be something there to have received the line in the first place!! So confusing!! And congratulations!!

Exactly the same as me! It’s very stressful, I had convinced myself I’d had a missed miscarriage or just wanted it so badly I imagined it! Thankfully not. Thank you very much and good luck to you too

That’s exactly what I’m thinking at the moment, I’ve read so many different things, I don’t know why the female body is so difficult!! You’re very welcome and thank you!! X

What test brand did you use @Sophhh25? Maybe try a pink dye FRER? Most sensitive on the market. Could be you ovulated late so the HCG level just isnt quite there yet

Other possibilities are -
late ovulation so late period (can happen cause of stress etc) and not pregnant
Chemical pregnancy/v early miscarriage - if this is the case you would get a period soon

Crossing my fingers hard for you x
