Am I pregnant or not?

[LeanneMc28]

Hi, I feel like I may be pregnant. I am having a lot of pregnancy symptoms but still even today- I have negative result from pregnancy test. My last normal period started on 5th august. I had sex on 25th august (unprotected). On 5th September I started a very different bleed to anything I’ve experienced before. Only blood when I wiped, nothing in form of flow. It lasted 3 days. Since then I’ve had tender breasts, mild cramping, on off nausea and extreme exhaustion. The veins in my breasts and legs have become extremely prominent which they have never been before. The bleeding I experienced stopped on 8th September but I am still getting negative pregnancy test. What would you advise? Is there a chance I am pregnant or probably not after this length of time? Is it still possible that I’m getting false negatives or should I just assume that by this stage I’m not pregnant?

I think probably not! Does sound like your hormones are a bit all over the place though so think about your overall health, stress etc. I assume you are not potentially perimenopausal?

i would say that was your period if it was around the time your period was due? But my boobs do go like that in pregnancy x

Hey @LeanneMc28,

Just wanted to say that I have been in a very similar situation to this and I finally got my BFP today. So hoping that means good news for you to.
I know of somebody that did not get there BFP until they were 9 weeks even though she knew before that. So hopefully you are still in luck.

How long are your cycles normally? I think you probably missed ovulation unless you have long cycles. By now you technically should have had a positive result. You're body may have missed a period, sometimes happens. You may also be picking up every sign of pregnancy?

I get really bad breast pain and veins when I'm due my period and swollen. I have a lot of pregnancy symptoms whilst due/on my period. However saying that my mum absolutely knew she was pregnant with my younger sister but no positive tests. This included doctors tests. The. She was 16 weeks before she got a positive test. And was over 20 weeks when she got her first scan and gave birth at 37 weeks. She had already had me so knew she was pregnant but doctors kept saying she wasn't xx
