AF 6 days late, negative pregnancy test!

[sarah54]

Good luck to you lamiao, hopefully we'll both get our soon!!

 

[sarah54]

So I still haven't started my period, I guess it just didn't come this month for some reason.
I now have 4 days until I'm suppose to start my next period. So we'll see what happens. My DH and I are no longer using any protection, we are NTNP!
Hopefully we get our BFP this month!!!

 

[bdwell1904]

Sarah sry you got a bfn from thr dr. I still have not started either. I also hope you get your bfp this month.

 

[sarah54]

Bdwell how late are you now?

 

[Eyes On Fire]

I have not started yet either. Though I haven't tested since Sunday which was a BFN. I'll be a week late tomorrow.

 

[bdwell1904]

Well Sarah I am 2 weeks late. I took a test at 1 week late and bfn. I just don't have the heart to test again. I read a post yesterday about prolactin. I did some research that was quit interesting. I will post what I found here if you want. How are you today?

 

[sarah54]

I know what you mean about not wanting to test again (try being a month late, lol!). that would be great if you could post what you found out!

I'm doing okay today, I'm currently at work and having a bit of period like cramping (please stay away!!). How are you bdwell (sorry I don't know your name)?

 

[bdwell1904]

Hey Sarah I'm Bonnie. I am just tired today. I have small cramps like that once in awhile but mine always end up being because I have to go (bm tmi). The last 6-8 weeks have been so crazy. Last night I started to get some burning in my bbs?? We weren't trying nor preventing trying to get prg, but once your cycle goes missing then you can't help to wonder what if, huh? I will get that info and post it in a sec.

 

[bdwell1904]

I did some research, that led to more research. I'm not a doctor nor trying to scare anyone but thought it was interesting. They are just symptoms but alot of the symptoms mimic prg. I know I will follow up with my GP since I got a bfn at cd 36, and still no Af. Might be an explanation.

Although I do not believe this applies to me. I think I may have cysts or something, I wanted to share these stories I found with ya'll.
It was digital E.P.T.and supposedly able to detect in advance I forgot how many tests I did, all negative. I am now 4 days late. So I decided to go ahead and get a blood test done Got on the phone 3 hours later and I was told......... POSITIVE. That I am in fact PREGNANT!
And oh for giggles I decided to use the remaining hpt from this morning to see what it would say, wouldn't you know it... it said "not pregnant" - yah right!

I am 18 weeks with #2 right now. I started testing the day that my period should have come. I bought "traditional" tests (with the lines), as well as a couple boxes of the digital (they just say "pregnant" or "not pregnant"). I tested several times a day with a bunch of these different kinds of tests for a week after my period should have come.
On the traditional tests, there was NO line. I realize that even a faint line can indicate pregnancy, but trust me, there was NOTHING on them for a week. Even the DIGITAL tests came out reading "NOT PREGNANT". So it wasn't as though I was misreading the tests.
FINALLY after a week, the tests started coming back positive, and my doctor confirmed.

I took 3 negitive test and had 3 periods before i finally had a positive test. I was 12 weeks along with twins when we went to the doctor after a positive test!

I even had one done before an appedectomy (at the hospital) come back negative. A week later, positive... I was 7 weeks along at that point

I was 8 weeks along before the hpt read positive. I took 5 hpt's because I had no period, but still getting negative tests, so I thought I wasn't pregnant. When I finally got a positive, I went to the doctor and said I was probably 4 weeks along. After an ultrasound I found out I was 11 weeks! I was definately prego through all 5 negative tests.

Thanks Bonnie, i'm 11 days late and have convinced myself that i'm not pregnant but have instead skipped a period but your post just goes to show that it is possible to be fooled by a hpt....think i might just make a appointment at the doctors tomorrow

 

[bdwell1904]

littlenic good luck if you go to the DR tomorrow

 

[littlenic]

thanks, i went along yesterday and i'm now the proud owner of a pee pot as my doctor would like a urine sample on Monday! If that's negative then she plans to do another one in a further two weeks before moving on to more thorough tests.....looks like i've got a while to wait yet then.

I posted a question in the general chatter page to ask if anyone got a bfp really late on and i've had a few positive examples from ladies on this site who didn't get one until far later than you'd expect, so there's still hope....in that case, think i'd better lay off the wine from now on!!

 

[bdwell1904]

Ever have one of those things where it's really kinda funny but then again not. Yesterday I woke up to awful back pains and a little cramping. I thought well maybe the spotting I had on June 5&6 was actually an early light period and would make yesterday 28 days since. So I thought AF was here and I finally had a answer. Went to the br (TMI) BM. Back pain, cramping all went away and absolutly no sign of AF not even a little smudge. Ah the tricks our bodies play on us. So now back to the waiting game lol

 

[sarah54]

Still no sign of AF, I'm going to the doctors this afternoon and hopefully will get some answers.

 

[schnoodle]

good luck x

 

[bdwell1904]

Sarah &Little nic I hope he is able to let you know something. good luck

 

[littlenic]

Well just for a change i got a negative test result at the doctors! They've goven me another sample pot and told me to come back at two weeks.

How did you get on Sarah? x

 

[Minkadanger]

Can I join your little thread!? I am also 2 weeks late (although for me I am coming off BC) the only thing is before i stopped BC I was convinced I was pg, having all the symptoms etc...long story short I took a round of antibiotics not knowing it could affect the pill. Now I am having fewer symptoms but cramping on the right side all the time... Dr office closed this weekend of course because of the holiday so I cant call to go in till tomorrow! I think I'm gonna get a blood test and have her check for cyst, etc. ugh!

 

[sarah54]

Thanks for your support ladies!

I went to the doctors yesterday and am going for an ultrasound in two days. Hopefully we'll have some actual answers soon.
But if I'm not pregnant this month, we are NTNP so it'll happen soon! (Hopfully!!)
