7 days late: hpt still negative!

[Laurita 74]

I need some words of wisdom please!I am currently 7 days late (usually like clockwork) but my hpt shows up negative (test done when I was 5 days late) I am experiencing symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness and cramping but as far as the test is concerned I am not pregnant! I have spent a small fortune on these hp tests and just get more and more anxious everytime they show up negative. AAArrrgh! I have ventured "up there" and have noticed that my cervix is very high up and that the opening has turned upward. There is no sign of spotting just a little discharge. Any advice or similar experiences which have resulted in a pregancy? Feeling so frustrated! Where is that tub of Haagen Dazs?!

Hello, i am 20 years old and  I was on antibiotics in august and had unprotected sex (they say antibiotics can lessen birth control effectiveness) then on antibiotics again in september but did not have sex for about 17 days so i could get off antibiotics and start up my birthcontrol again. I am taking Lo Estrin Fe correctly minus the occasional forgotten pill but i take it as soon as i remember.
me and my boyfriend dont use a condom and he doesnt pull out (tmi)
for about a week or so ive been having these symptoms:

-late period (when i stopped bc in sept. i should have gotten it but only spotted, I ALWAYS start my period when i stop bc or take the sugar pills)
-sore breasts and VERY sore nipples
-cramping
-gurgling in lower abdomen
-pain in abdomen when i stretch too far
-always tired
-moody

and a negative test. i feel off, when i get my period i hardly cramp, and my boobs are NEVER sore.

I would hate to hear that this is pms. ugh. being a woman is hard haha. I would love to hear some input. thanks!

Oh my gosh, I am totally in the same boat.  Did you find anything out about your situation? Wishing you the best and most of all, peace of mind.

[nixie123]

Anyone care to share the results? I haven't gotten my period yet and it's been around 3 days I think.  It's not typical for me to be late so I took an hpt.  It came back neg. Reading through this forum is comforting to know I am not alone but I don't see many results, at least no current ones.  So, what was the outcome for anyone?  Thanks so much!

[Omojesu001]

Hey, I'v had two pregnancy tests-negative. My period is about 4 days late. No cramping, no spotting, no tenderness in my breasts, no vomitting, no nausea. I'v been having the bubbly feeling in my stomach and have been farting a lot. There has been an increase in vaginal discharge (but then I have UTI), what is the problem here? Am I pregnant or NOT? Someone pls help me, am goin crazy here

[badeath]

[ailsababy]

my last period was 26th sept and when my period was due in oct i had 3 days of feeling faint. i am all bloated and had sharp shooting pains near my vagins they only last a few seconds at a time.

i had 3 neg tests last one was november 1st and now doc has done a blood est but dont get the results until the 9th i am going out my mind last night i was up 6 times for a pee.

doc said alot of people dont actually get a positive result until 14 to 16 days of a late period but my 1st pregnancy was so different i found out straight away but that was 13years ago so not so sure.

i have alot of gas and gurgling sounds coming from my stomach i feel pregnant but hope its not my imagination.

[sris07]

hi dear
iam 31 .I have a daughter , i had 3 miscarriages in past 3 years 2 missed & one deliberate as i conceived very early after my daughter birth . now for past 5 months we have been trying .used OPK but no success. I am very depressed  please help.

[butterflysexy1]

I'm so sorry guys, but  i don't have any answers, just questions myself.  My boyfriend and I were about to have sex (his penis had somewhat entered the vagina), but took it back out after we changed our mind about having sex.  12 days later, i spotted brownish, and i took home pregnancy tests and they came out negative.  My period arrived about 10 days late the following month.  Is it possible that I'm pregnant?  My period is over today, and I still feel very tired, with some lower back pain.  My boyfriend and I did have sex 5 days my period started, (so I'm afraid I could be pregnant due to Augusts' brownish spotting) or may be pregnant now?  Is it possible for me to be pregnant for either occasions?

Thanks

Hello everyone. My name is Karissa, I am 19 years old, and I am married. (may be to young in some of your eyes, but I am mature enough to know what I am doing.) However what I am writing is for your advice and what you think..

I last had my period Aug 24th-28th. It usually 6 days but for some reason it was shorter..Im not sure why..
Exactly 14 days from the first day of my last period I began experiencing  brown spotting(maybe implantation?) also accompanying it was cramping and bloating, also had nausea, fatigue, headaches, can smell anything and everything and have had some dizziness. This all began on the Sept 6th.
Four days afterwards on the 10th, my brown spotting stopped and now I have a clear stringy discharge. I wasnt taking prenatals when this all first happened, I began taking then on the 6th when it all began. I figured my dizziness was from my low Iron ( I do have low Iron, have never been on meds for it though.. but, I figured if I was preg then the baby was taking all the nutrients from me that I needed. A few days after (still taking prenatals) I had no signs of dizziness.)
On the 13th I noticed my my boobs are tender, my fatigue isnt as bad as the other days have been. I have never been a big fan of naps, but now it seems as if I cant get through a day without one. except Sept 13th I havent had one, but I did sleep in..hmmm. maybe thats it.. and I only had nausea that morning and eating stopped it...However that night after eating (like 30 mins afterwards) I had to run to the bathroom due to have a queasy feeling and actually got sick..I dont think Id be far along..I have all symptoms.. It is now the 22nd of Sept (my period should arrive anytime between the 20th and 26th) Thats usually when I get it. Yesterday I began this brownish/pinkish spotting, this is first time with the pink tinged in it. However when I got up this morning it was back to the normal whitish clear discharge I normally have. (Is this a sign of early pregnancy?) I haven't felt sick today but I ate as soon as I got up. I have had a headache today though...I dont know what all of this means. I want a baby but I am so unsure what all of this is. Help would be appreciated. I also took another test today and it was negative, the fourth one I have taken so far.. When should I retest, and when should I go to the doctor? I haven't had a period this month so far. Thankyou Everyone!

[Kginter11]

Thankyou so much Allie for your response. I greatly appreciate it! I am suppose to have AF tomorrow, but no signs of her arrival are appearing. Still sick in the mornings, just a bit though. Tender breasts, and still am fatigued. Today I have been feeling a little dizzy, not sure why. I have taken three home preg test, First one on the 6th when it alll started, then again on the 14th, then again today. All a BFN! Its very dissapointing to see those BFN's..I am still thinking its to early for my levels to be that high..but I am not sure, as this is my very first time experiencing all of this..When would you recommend me to do another test and when should I make a doctors appointment? Thankyou for your responses everyone! (:

[Allie1986]

Hello. I was horrible at missing birth control pills and I don't want to alarm you but one missed pill is really all it takes to get pregnant. It can throw off your course but for me it usually only did by a few days. Before you started anything up I'd book an appointment with your doctor to make sure.No idea if BC can harm the baby or anything...but you don't want to take any chances with the little ones! Good luck!!! Missed a pill and now I have a beautiful baby girl! :)

[Allie1986]

For sure...It's truly different with each pregnancy...each woman and even each baby. If you havent taken an in home yet I'd do so...and even if it's negative I'd still go to the doctor. Sounds very much like what I had but it could also be something else you want to get checked out asap. To me it really sounds like you're pregnant though. Everything you are experiencing is all signs in early pregnancy...if so congrats! I found lots of water and tea (be careful which tea) helped with the sickness. Good luck

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how soon the blood test can detect pregnancy?
My last period was late a month and a half.. I went to a doc since I had all the pg. symptoms including weight gain. Test came back negative nd I got a very light period a few days after. This month I'm late again! ( 8 days) I'vehave been gaining about 3 lbs/month the past 3 months which is weird for me...
Any chance that the blood test was done too early and was a false neg?

[cookiie]

i know wat yur goin thru everyone is diff. it sux jus to waiit i wnna pull out my dam hair lol.! i suggest wait till your 2nd week if still no pd test again if negative..wait till the 3rd week and test again..if u stilll come out neg. get blood test done at the doctors..or if u dnt want to wait a 3rd week get the blood test done after the 2nd week. some ppl dont even get symptoms it depends all on your body. these are going to b my plans. good luck :)

[cookiie]

hey everyone..im 21 && i heard that u CANT get pregnant if you are not ovulating and ovulation is 2 weeks before your period. i had intercourse the week of my expected period. the condom broke both sat. and then again on thursday.i am never late. it possibly could b stress. and all this anxiety of me having to wait stresses me out even more. i have had mild cramps no spotting and nothing has came down or symptoms. i am now 7 days late. i took 2 preg from FIRST RESPONSE which is supposably the best detector however,tests both came out negative. i dont kno wat to think. every womans body is different. im anxious to know im happy with the thought of it being positive..it being negative is dissappointing. SOMEONE PLS HELP TO EASE MY MIND XXXXX

[katie_rose3796]

I'm 46 and 21 dpo and have had 3 negative hpt. Am going to my GP Monday morning to request a blood test and a scan. I'm thinking 'false pregnancy' but hoping for a real one. I have all the symptoms (frequent urination, enlarged, darkened areolas, cramping, soft cervix and vagina, nausea, euphoria, extreme fatigue and am 7 days late for my period) and know that a wish for pregnancy can be powerful enough for the body's endocrine system to send out hormones related to pregnancy. I was fearful of still having a coil inside me (another story) so had a transvaginal scan 8dpo. This showed no coil and a healthy uterus with a thin lining and lots of fat eggs in my ovaries. But the mind is powerful and my yearning to become a mum is intense. I will start grieving once the scan shows that nothing lives in me. Until then I cannot stop hoping. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I feel less alone reading what others are going through. And I will not take another htp as the trauma is too much.
