Hi all

AM new to here. And I feel like am going off my head.
Started trying to conceive 1st week in January. I have Polycystic Ovaries.
Had several attempts to conceive. Am now 23 days late, have tested 4 Home pregnancy test & had 2 blood tests from doctors showing negative. Have been having abdominal pain for 4 weeks so doctor is waiting for a scan for me.

I am convinced I am pregnant, but wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to have negative test results but be pregnant.

Any advice would be great.

Honey, I really don't know. However, I didn't want to read and run. I would think that with negative blood tests, you are not pregnant. However, you could be one of the ones who's hormones take forever to rise and show pregnancy. I was one of those girls! I am hoping that this is the case and you are indeed pregnant! GOOD LUCK!:hugs:
 
After I came off of the pill, I had one cycle 28 days later and then my next one didn't come for 7.5 weeks (so 21 days "late"). I was also convinced I was pregnant and 6 negative HPTs and a negative blood test didn't deter me since I had read stories online that some women found out much later than the normal two weeks due to slower hormone rises. Eventually AF got me (bummer) and I had two more cycles after that that were very long (fortunately now they've seemed to settle at ~35 days), but I think the delays were just a result of stress and my body coming off of the pill.

Are you sure that you ovulated 23 days ago? What helped me alot was when I started monitoring my fluids and, more recently, my temperatures so I know when I truly ovulated and whether or not I am actually late.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)
 
Thanks guys.
I was sure I ovulated on the 15th of January as had the cervix mucus. I have polycystic ovaries so wondered if that would make the hormone release slower.

I have been quite regular for last 5 months or so. So just think it too much of a coincidence to start trying and miss a period, and to have cramping pain & tummy was tender to touch at certain places which i thought might be uterus growing.

I maybe just need to relax.

I told myself I wasnt going to get obbsessed by it but clearly I am. I suppose what meant to be will be.

Good luck to you guys though

I don't know very much about PCOS, so I can't say if it's related to that... but either way, the best thing you can do is just relax and try not to think about it (easy to say, hard to follow lol). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you though :)
 
Done another hpt test today & negative so think i better just forget about it. will wait for scan must be something else wrong. Great so typical for things to go wrong for me. It has taken years to persuade husband to have another one & now he decides it is time i start having problems. Gutted xxx
 
stay positive hun :hugs:
i am cd63 today last period came on xmas eve and nothing since! no idea why ive had all the tests and everything is normal. since the last mc my cycles went back to 28 and then have had one at 50+ days and now this one which seems like i havent had af in forever! we are almost into march and nothing. ive had bfn's but this last week ive been having lots of symptoms so convinced i am pregnant. i have got the doctors tomorrow too and go for blood pg test and possibly a scan if i can get
 
i know. sorry to hear about mc. it is so annoying when dont know what wrong with me. i am getting a scan but just waiting or date to come in so will see. let me know how you get on at doctors so glad to hear am not the only one in same boat. Good luck hear from you soon xxx
 
I haven't had a real AF since November. I don't know if that makes you feel any better but I did have super light spotting on the 7th of this month that lasted 3.5 days. Really am not convinced it was a period. Also, I've experienced almost all of the preg symptoms since the 7th but have had 3 BFN's so far, one of which was taken at a doctor's office. I tried getting a blood test done but they couldn't get any blood out of me. GRRR!

Anyway, I think you might just have to wait it out. Try to listen to your body and really take note of the way you normally feel around and during AF and compare it to how you feel now. If this is completely different from what you normally experience, either you're pregnant or your hormones are so out of whack no one can figure out what's going on! I know how you feel though, I'm in your boat.

FXed for your BFP soon!

Hi chick, I also have PCOS and i havent had a period since november, i was like you, kept doing tests thinking i was pregnant, gained weight etc, but after loads of home tests, doctors tests, bloods and scans i definatly am not pregnant which obviously is not what i wanted to hear.
Ive got a friend who with both her boys didnt find out she was pregnant till she was 9 weeks gone as all the tests she did beforehand were negative so it can be possible, but she doesnt have any medical issues.
I would wait and see what the scan says, and hopefully everything is all clear.
Have my fingers crossed for you x
 
It would be too good to be true to fall in first month anyway so i have kind of accepted that it not this time. But now would hate to think of something wrong now that we want TTC. I will let yous know what happens on Monday, hope it just something simple like an enlarged cyst that will eventally go down. Thanks to you all for comments. Good luck with your TTC & will keep you's updated. xxx
 
Hey all have had my scan today & there was no baby which I was sure there wasnt anyway. And nothing showing why am getting abdominal pain. Still not got my period so will be back to drawing board for TTC, which with no periods going to prove a bit tricky. They think it maybe my bowel that causing the pain, but have to wait a week till they report back to my GP then further testing will begin. Am gutted that all this starts when I TTC.

How did you get on at Doctor MrsBea23. WHere are you from in Scotland. Am in Aberdeen xx
 
its good news that they said there was no cause for the pain i really want a scan for peace of mind. where did you go for your scan hun?
im on cd74 now the doctor told me to back in 2 months if af still hasn't come! so they are prepared to let me go almost 4-5 months without af before they will look into it?! given my history you would think they would try and help!
and i stupidly tested again today, of course huuuge bfn...!!

my husband comes home today :wohoo:
 
I know but cant help think why periods have all of a sudden stopped. Cant see what that would have to do with my bowel, am even more confused & anxious now than I was. Was so hoping would go & they would just say oh there is a baby there. My doctor sent me to hospital for pelvis scan. I also have a tilted uterus which am not sure if that causes problems. Its like they dont give a monkeys how we are feeling or going through. Just dont get the human body.

That great your hubby home.

Where are you from? xx
 
My Dr thinks just the stress of TTC is enough to put off AF...thats why its so often the first cycle it happens too!!!

x
 
Maybe it is. Didnt feel stressed out about it, but the brain does a wonderful job of confusing us. Think most doctors favourite words are STress & Viral but doesnt actually answer what is wrong. xxx
