Could I still be pregnant with 5 negative HPTs???

[BrittaniK]

My period is well over a month late... Last period was 11.17.16... Around 12.7 i had very light spotting for about 3 days accompanied with nausea... Since the spotting has stopped i have began to feel more n more like im pregnant. Nausea every other day all day, my breasts are sore, i pee a hundred times a day, im gaining weight, and constantly bloated. I have 1 child so i know what pregnancy feels like and I definitely feel pregnant... But with 5 negative HPTs, the most recent being this evening, im very confused.

Hi.  While it is a possibility, it's truthfully unlikely.  A rare woman that tests at the appropriate time (as in they waited long enough) will get a negative test and actually be pregnant.  But I guess it *can* happen.  Now, I had an issue with a slow thyroid and it mimicked pregnancy symptoms, had longer cycles and irregular cycles, etc.  So, if you continue to get negative pregnancy tests for another couple of weeks, see your doctor to determine what is going on.  good luck

Try a different brand test and first thing in the am not at night. I can almost never get a positive with a particular brand (and it's my ob's fav) so I always use 2 brands at the same time. (I test them together).

Also in the past when my body skipped a period randomly (not pregnant) I had similar symptoms to early pregnancy (I've been pregnant 3 times) and my OB told me it was due to an overload of hormones in my body for the missed period.
