Possibly 8 weeks prego and still getting a neg hpt?? Is this normal?

[MelnJay]

Hi! My LMP was 12-25-12. I had light pink spotting when I wiped on 1-1-13 then stopped almost immediately. I completely missed my period in January and am now 1 day late for this months period. I took a pregnancy test about a week ago and got 2 neg tests. I had very sore breasts the past month or so but they're not really sore now although my nipples are very sensitive and I can't fit into the bra I have been wearing anymore. I've been tired more often, been going to bed earlier and getting tired before I can get all my chores done. I have had more clear vaginal discharge this week than normal. It's clear and odorless. I am having some mild cramping and my pants don't wanna fit anymore. Even my sweat pants seem too tight and I notice pressure where my uterus is esp when sleeping on my tummy. I have dull headaches and lower backaches. I actually didn't notice I missed a period til I had the light spotting on the 1st and 2nd of Feb so I am concerned since the only time I missed periods was when I was pregnant with my first child and when I was on the depo. Is it in my head or still possible that I am prego even though my hpts have been negative? I would go to the OBGYN but I have no way to get there atm because our vehicle is down. I am going to take another hpt in the morning around 5 am when my fiance gets home from work and maybe the results will be different since it's been a week or so since I took the last. *fingers crossed*

By 8 weeks you definitely should have a positive, although there are some cases where some people never get a positive test (think its very rare though). I'd get to a DR as soon as possible to see what's going on. Good luck.

i agree. i would go get blood work done to see..

have you tried taking a your urine and diluting it with water to see if you get a positive that way? could be hook theory?

 

[MelnJay]

I haven't tried diluting my urine yet. I had no idea what "Hook Theory" was til I read about it earlier. I am going to see a doc as soon as I can. My GYN is an hour from where I live but my PCP is 15 mins from where I live and I can't find a ride to take me as far as my GYN so I am hoping my PCP will be willing to do blood work etc to find out what's going on. I don't feel like myself at all. I feel drained. I normally go to sleep between 2 and 3 am and I'm already really sleepy and it's only about 9pm here. I really hope nothing is seriously wrong.

 

[brittany12]

do you have any tests that you could use to try out the hook theory

 

[MelnJay]

Not atm but my fiances friend is taking him by Wal Mart when he gets off work to get a couple tests. Do you have any idea how much water I should dilute it with? I am going to look on Google and see if anything turns up.

 

[brittany12]

i believe half water half urine.. but google it or search on here.. i've never had to do it myself so i can't be sure

i've had this before... when you think you're pregnant, you start to obsess over it and read too much into it.

i hope you're pregnant though

Hey, that's what happened to me just recently. I'm about 8 weeks and got my positive 4 days ago. They were stark white then all of dark pink
Go see your gp and request bloods. Its the only way to be sure. Good luck xxx

I agree to get a blood test. You should have a positive by now. The hook effect may be possible but If you took test 1-2 weeks ago and they are still neg you probably aren't. You could have had an anovulatory cycle which would make you miss a period or something else going on. You may want to see your doctor. Maybe you caught the eggie recently and are pg but Hcg isn't high yet to show? Idk. Hope you can see your dr! Good luck!

Thing is, with the hook theory, I have never seen anyone have a completely negative test. The line is just lighter, and only by a bit.

Yeah I know but it couldn't hurt to try I guess
