Pregnancy Info HOME

My husband and i already have two children[the youngest being 10mths] and just over a month ago i had my coil taken out to add to our family.I used a ovulation test and it said our best days were 30th/31st jan.AF should of been 7 days ago.Have that strange taste in my mouth,tiredness,bloating,bad mood swings and seem to have that preg discharge but no period and lots of big fat negatives!With both of my previous preg i had a positive within the first few days of Af being late.I am still breastfeeding my 10mth old son so that could be a reason for no AF but have had periods as normal since giving birth.I never miss AF. Have had three tests with a very faint line but after reading a article on the net discovered that if you leave a negative too long it turns to a positive[a false positive!!] Want to be pregnant but feel so stupied doing pregnancy tests all the time and waiting for my period.WHAT IS GOING ON!! ANY ADVICE

update from earlier!! just done a test[a cheap superdrug brand after spending a fortune on expensive ones!!] and it turns out i am pregnant!! i am so excited!! delighted!! etc... etc... point being is i was so sure when i concieved and was 7 days late without a postive result.It took 7 days to get a positive!! my advise to everyone is don't be stupied like me[well we can't help it we wanta be pregnant!!] and buy tons of tests from 4 days before your periods due. I think what they claim is rubbish,your levels need to build up and its just a money making scheme.If you think your pregnant don't put yourself through all that disapointmen of test after test. wait for a week after your period. One tip i can give from me on whether your pregnant[whilst your waiting for those 7 days] is the taste in your mouth.It just changes.you'll know what i mean.I had it with my two previous pregnancies and thats why i was so sure now. Well good luck to you all and lets hope that in nine months i have another beautiful bundle of sick,poo and sleepless nights

Hello! Thank God for this site. All other fertility chats or forums were inactive. I am almost 6 days late right now and have had what feels like the worst PMS ever for almost two weeks! Of course, negative tests! At first I thought I should trust the tests and just figure it was a luteal cyst releasing progesterone making me miserable. Now I think I might actually be pregnant! This is good. ttc first baby with hubby of 4 1/2 years. I guess I will just wait longer, take care of myself and test in a week or so. Hate wasting money on the darned things. Expensive and not so reliable, it turns out!

I am so frustrated. My last period was January 2nd. I've tried at least 10 HPTs since that time, and every time ALL the time, it's always a BIG FAT NEGATIVE. I'm a little worried at the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy, a tumor, cancer . . . you name it. If I am pregnant, I'd be about 7 weeks along, but I have no symptoms aside from a missing period, frequent urination, and light acne. (I never have acne.) No nausea, no sore breasts, and no confirmation of pregnancy. At this point, I'd be happy to know a verifiable yes or no answer. Good luck to everyone else TTC.

Well, ladies. Here I am, living proof that HPTs do not work as early on as they claim. I tested again today (now OVER a week late for my period) and got a definite positive. very exciting for us and I hope encouraging to you.
Sabrina, before testing positive, I also noticed acne (a few small blemishes on the middle of my chest and strangely two on the inside of my thigh). I have never had acne in these areas before, just a blemish here or there on my face.
Be encouraged ladies. I really don't think the tests work as reliably as they claim as early as they claim.

Hi, I feel silly doing this cause I already have 2 children and I should know if I am pregnant right? Well IO had my last period on Jan 21..My hubby and I had sex everynight unprotected for the entire week that ovulation started and then a little after..The only thing that had confused me is that in the CM it had a pink tinge with streaks of red occasionally..it dissappeared after a few days..Now its the 24 and I am offically 3 days late...I am tired, can't fit into a darn piece of my clothing my boobs have grown I swear, and I get that bloody/metally taste in my mouth..The only thing that has thrown me off is I bought those dip sticks and they all said NEG on the day they should have worked and said neg yesterday too..I dunno what to think. I also have a lower back ache off and on. I am confused . Should I try another one in like a week if I do not get it? Woith my first 2 I got a positive right off the bat.

sarahjoy.... with my first born i test at day 1 being late and got a neg, i tested at 5 days late got a neg i tested 0n 8 days late and got neg i tested the very next day and finally got the pos, so it really just depends on your body and how quickly the hormones rise. It should double every 24 hours so give it about a week so you'll be almost 2 weeks late because you may have miscalculated the ovulation time and could be p/g but not far enough along to register, oh!! and it could depend on how long it took the egg to travel and implant too!.. test again and good-luck , we i think this month are going to try a fertility monitor, kind of expensive but the amount we've spent on tests will hopefully be saved this month..lol take care......megan

The same thing has happened to me every time I have been pregnant. My period has only been more than 1 day late three times in my life, and each time I was pregnant but had repeated negative HPTs until about six days after the period was due. I think some people just don't produce a lot of hormone right away. I also always had EXTREMELY sore breasts and weird stabby cramping that felt nothing like period cramps and I was starving and tired all the time.

the waiting to test kills u, so i went and bought the clearblue tests and there were the two lines you are supposed to get then a faint line to make a positive..i did one yesterday then one today and they both did the same, except todays was a tad darker..tempted to go buy another brand to see what that one says..definitely anxious to see what it says. Anyone has similar thing happen with clearblue?

Sarah, Meg, and aem, I'm going to wait a little while longer before going to see a doctor. I did a little research and found out that some women do not have any symptoms until weeks 7-9. I don't have any signs of pregnancy aside from a missed period (7 weeks ago) and some slight acne. Hopefully all goes well for you, and good luck making babies (or congrats for having one on the way)! A friend told me her sister had negative HPT's up until 8 weeks when she went to the doctor to get tested. Hopefully I find out soon one way or another!

well ladies I have done a total of 5 hpts and all postives before the time limit..so safe to say that I am preggers..not to mention I have all of a sudden been hit with the norm symptoms like bathroom breaks every 5 mins, sore boobs, cravings and the bloat that wont go away..I will be wearing maternity clothes way earlier this time around..ughhhh...

I am really getting frustrated with this waiting game. i am late by 5 days- still no signs of af coming or pregnancy.Now, i doubt if i had a ovulation or simply my hormones are high enough to show on the HPT. can anyone suggest a good brand for HPT?

vivi,
I have the best results all the time with the walmart brand..I personally say the cheaper the tests the more likely it is to work and u can be sure u are....I have heard that the cheaper brands detect lower levels of hcg too...Clearblue annoyed me cause despite getting + on them they are really light and u doubrt what your seeing so you end up going buying other brands to see if its really true...guess thats how they make their money..Good luck hun..let us know

Thank you sarah. I have decided to wait until saturday if nothing happens ( hope i dont get af) i will try walmart brand.

Hello Ladies, I am new to this site and I am so happy that I am not the only one. I think I ovulated pretty late ( Feb 19-20th) I am expected to get my period on Feb 26th however, it did not come I did get some brown spotting (only when I wipe) from Feb 24-27. I am getting mild cramps not like what I would get when I get my period and feeling very tired, sore breasts. I tested yesterday and got a BFN I think it might be too early to test since I ovulated very late. Please help let me know what you think...This is my first time TTC I had sex every other day for the entire month of Feb.

just to help boost your spirits with my first child i didnt get a positive test until i was 5 whole days past af!! keep your head up girls!
