Normally have v regular periods & conceived easily with ds 2 yrs ago. Seem to have missed last period (by 6 days now, so 32 days since last period, normally 26 days bang on) but preg test neg.
Has anyone else had this & actually turned out to be preg?
Maybe should do second test.........

I have! Even the blood test at the doctor's came back negative. It was two weeks after my period was due before I got a positive. I think I must have ovulated very late in that cycle.

Do another test - when did you last do one?

Yep, had 5(!) negatives before the positive appeared for DS. By this point I was about 42dpo and just knew I had to be pregnant as I couldn't lie on my boobs! Trust your instinct and keep testing, but leave it a couple of days if you can bear to wait. then your body will make it clear that you care, and the test should be clearer in its result.
Good luck!!!

yes, twice. Wait three days.

With dd2 I had a negetive followed by a positive a week later.

With my next pregnancy, I had a negetive, followed by a positive two days later, followed by a miscarriage.

Now, I don't test until I am a week late.

yes twice, and even when it did turn positive it was a few days after it "should" have done - I was about to book an appointment with GP because I thought "if I'm not pregnant something's wrong" because I felt different and weird. DS now 19 months!

Thanks all.
Yes, all very odd. Had sex bang on (sorry for pun!!) ov. day so when period was late just presumed was preg then test really suprised me.
Have been thinking something up.
Last period, however, was really long for me (12 days & heavy) so am thinking my lateness this time round might be something related to that........who knows!
May wait another few days to do another test.
All v expensive too!

Give it another 3 days or so - if you;re anything like me that's impossible! But with my rational head on (rather than hormonal) you will save money that you can spend on yourself! Good luck, hope you get the result you want
