13 days late, one positive pregnancy test, 8 negatives!! could i be pregnant?

I took an HPT 2 days before my missed period because I anxiously thought that I could be pregnant....my husband and I have been trying for the past couple of months. The result was POSITIVE!! I was so excited that I wanted to confirm it with another! The test immediately following was negative and the next 7 HPTs were negative also. I originally attributed the neg results with being too hydrated and not testing with the first morning's urine but now I'm not so optomistic. I have an appointment at my OBGYN on May 8th (he can't fit me in any sooner) but I'm starting to get concerned. My period is 13 days late and I thought the HGC hormone would clearly be strong enough to detect by now. Could I be pregnant and it's just too faint to tell?? Any advice or similar experiences is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks a bunch.

Well I had a hysteroscpy done Sept. 14 everything was ok with that started my period  Oct.12 then around the 22 I had spotting again. It is now middle of Nov. and still no period negative hpts. Go to the doctor on the 1st soonest they had to see what's going on. Wish me luck and good  luck to all who is ttc. I had a miscarriage in Jan. 2010 and we have been trying since.

That's terrible! Sure hope you get your baby.
Besides healing, one reason they tell you to wait six weeks after a delivery or a miscarriage is to make sure your body gets the HcG from the last pregnancy out of your system, so you don't get your hopes up with a false positive test. Symptoms can be so confusing!

Hello, my name is Brittany. I found out I was pregnant Jan. 16th 2011, I had missed my period Dec. 10th 2010 n my periods have always been on time so I knew something was going on, however I kept taking home pregnanct test, probably 15 all together and a pt at the doctor. They all came back negative so I thought it was just stress n didnt think anymore of it bc I hadnt really had any noticable symptoms. So I got sick, like a cold n I went to c my family physician and as usual they ask when ur last period was n I told her Nov. 2010 n told her I had taken pt at home and one at health dep n all was negative. So she done a blood test on me n said she would call w results. So she called that evening and said that it was positive. I was so excited bc we had tried so long, I have 2 beautiful girls, they r 3 & 4 but my husband doesnt have any children so he was so excited n terribly nervous. So anyways my due date was sep 29th and we found out we were having a girl, we named her Paislee LeeAnn. When I was 29 weeks all of a sudden I started swelling so so bad, from my feet to belly basically. I didnt do it w the other two so i was concerned n had them get me n the next day, she said it was normal n to keep feet propped up. Well I went back two weeks later I seen a diff doc and in 2 weeks I had gained 28 lbs so he sent me straight in for an ulra sound. She was supposed to weigh 4 lbs but the fluid had gotten under her stomach n she weighed 7lbs n 8ozs, ppl thought I was having twins! So they sent me straight to a high risk specialist n thy admitted me, gave me steroid shots to strenthen her lungs in case I had to deliver early. And I did I had an emergency c section (my 1st one, other two i had vaginal) and she Passed away an hour and 5 min l8r bc they said they couldnt get all of the fluid off in time n it had made her so sick n also said if the other doc wouldve done an ultra sound when I showed her the swelling they wouldve delivered her and she wuld have lived :( Sorry so long just wanted to give a lil background info. HERES MY MAIN ? N PLZ PLZ HELP....I had her July 29, 2011....I know I was supposed to wait 6 weeks to be sexually active but we wasnt, the only thing we can think aboout is having a baby asap, and I know Its not good so close together but I feel like if I have a another baby I will get out of this depression n not only that but I just feel like I am missing a piece, I dont want to replace her bc she cant be but I do want a baby so so bad now...its hard to explain unless u have been through it. We are almost obsessed w it! Neways so we was sexually active a week after july 29th and I was lightly bleeding but then it stopped that night and I havent had one since or any signs of one coming. Umm as far as symptoms not really yet but I had no symptoms hardly with the other pregnancies other than eating alot, frequent urinatin, tender breast, and of course bad mood swings... I have been moody and have tender breasts  but it could be still sore from this last pregnancy.  I am going to have blood work as soon as I get paid not this Frid but next so I will keep everyone posted...plz anyone let me know what u think??? Any ideas or similiar situations will help :)

Here's my frustrating story. I am 33 days late! Had an ultrasound 3 weeks ago. She said my uterus lining was thick and either I would start my period that week or, I was about 3 weeks pregnant. So last wednesday I took a first response test and it was positive. We were thrilled!  2 days later I took the dollar general brand to reassure myself and it was negative. Went to the dr yesterday, their test was also negative.  My boobs hurt, im exhausted, im like a bottomless pit when it comes to being hungry,  I can smell things that nobody else smells (cherry chapstick mainly) I have heartburn, and my toilet has become my new best friend. I have an ultrasound on the 3rd but the waiting is driving me nuts!!!!!! Maybe it was a false positive but why on earth am I not bleeding?!?!?!?
