Yes. I had a negative. I didn’t feel it was right so tested the next day and got a positive. He’s 9 now

Yep - didn't get a positive until my period was 7 days overdue

I’ve read most of your threads. You’re due on your period soon aren’t you? I’d just wait until you’re either overdue or it turns up. Then you’ll know either way.
But you have been testing since 23 days before your period is due. You’ve started threads on every single possible symptom. You’re now due on tomorrow (I think I read that on another thread) and you’re still testing negative.
I know TTC is hard. I’ve been trying for 5 years and haven’t succeeded. But you’re just going to drive yourself crazy doing this every month. Testing early can be fun for some people but you should never take it too seriously. Because MOST people don’t get a positive until about 10dpo. For the majority of people though (not everyone though) they will test positive the day before their period is due. If you still don’t get your period in 2-3 days then test again in case you’re one of the ones who take longer to show positive. But at this point I’d just wait and see seeing as you’re due on your period soon anyway.

This comes across very harsh but true. You will drive yourself absolutely bonkers if you keep doing this..

Unfortunately not everybody will have a positive test so early.

At the very least, wait until the first day of your missed period to avoid the symptom spotting.

i wish you the best of luck!

This can happen if you test too early. Always better to wait to miss a period first
