Pregnant or tricky mother nature!?

[mlambert521]

Okay, sooo I will give some back story as this is my first post! I got off BC in November. My periods were irregular until May. I had skipped a month randomly, then had one Feb 28, then at some point in march and april. then May 24th i had one. I had one AGAIN June 24th, almost down to the hour as i started in may! My husband and I decided to try for a baby this month. We aren't necessarily bothered if i don't end up pregnant, since this was our first time trying. but! here we are now on the 25th.. Normally, the day of my period I have brownish/pinkish spotting then start full force in the evening. Well, yesterday was the 24th- no spotting, no period. Today, no spotting, no period. I have mild cramps but nothing like what it is when AF is coming on. Also, my nipples were very sore for about a week. I was a bit discouraged because that usually happens when I am about to start... but today, they are not near as sore at all. I felt VERY nauseous yesterday morning but it went away and i never vomited, though i felt like i was going to. I was exhausted all morning today, but it's monday and now not so much... I have no other pregnancy symptoms but also no other sign my period is coming!

I took a test this morning, and it was negative. but i think i got urine on the test screen (the manual said that could lead to faulty results) and im only one day late.?! could i still be pregnant??? or is mother nature playing a cruel trick on me?

I normally wouldn't even be worried, but my period was RIGHT ON TIME down to the HOUR the past two months...
When should I test again?

You def could be ... not everyone gets positives at 8 DPO! You could have ovulated a bit later than expected or the hormones are just coming along at a slower rate!

All the advice is to test with the first wee of the day... so give it a go tomorrow morning (if you didn't today)! Also consider what tests you are using ... cheaper ones tend to be less sensitive!

Equally, Mother Nature could just be being cruel. I had that last cycle. Period came CD39 which is by far the latest I've ever been. It was dreadful. I can only put it down to my body feeling a bit out of sorts due to a kidney infection around normal ovulation time!

Good luck to you

I used Walmart brand test because I seriously thought AF would come! I'll buy a better test in a few days maybe?

I would buy an FRER ( First Response early response). They give you the best chance of detecting your pregnancy early. Good luck mama I hope this is it for you!
