confused about neg results & waiting!
| Wed, 08-13-2003 - 8:45pm |
Hi,
I am new to this, I just came to the boards to look for women who have had (or are in) a similar situation. My last AF was July 7th, so I am now at day 37. I would say my normal cycle is about 32 days. So I'm not extremely late, but this is the latest I've ever been. I have taken a few HPT's, one last week and one today. They both said negative, but since I have never been this late, I just can't shake the feeling that I'm pregnant! I haven't really gone through this before, this is the first real month that my DH and I were trying, so this is new to me! I am feeling so impatient and it's all I've been thinking about the last day or so!
I don't feel any symptoms of pg or AF, the only thing I've noticed is a lot of discharge lately. I guess I will just wait and see...maybe retest over the weekend if AF hasn't begun. Is anybody out there in a similar position or gone through something similar? I am aware of false negatives, but I am trying not get my hopes up and set myself up for disappointment, but it's just hard not to think (and dream) about!
Thanks for your help,
Amy

Thanks for your reply. It is nice to know others are out there feeling just as anxious! I've been told the same thing about trying the test first urine of the morning, the next one I take I will definitely do that. I drink quite a bit of water during the day which could have diluted my tests.
I will keep you posted--althought I'm afraid I may not know anything for several more days!! Ugh. Let me know what happens tomorrow, we can wait through this part together!

Thanks for your message. I'm trying to do what you said and cool my jets about it, but it's so hard! I think that's why I'm enjoying these boards--I don't feel crazy about thinking about this so much! It's hard to explain or talk about with my DH or other girlfriends who aren't going through this, the waiting is just so hard!
I think even though you are having a little bleeding, you could still be pregnant. My gyno told me that with both of her pregnancies, she spotted at the time she was supposed to start her AF. So if you are bleeding, but not as much as a normal period, you could very well be pg! I guess we're in the same boat, just wait awhile longer and test again!
Good luck, keep me posted!

I am in exactly your same position. I'm also on day 37 and I've been nuts for a week now! My AF is like clockwork- between 27 and 30 days. Most months it's exactly 27 and the longest it's ever been is 32. I've taken 8 tests :) (Pretty sad, huh?) My 1st test I took on July 27th. It had a very, very slight positive. I freaked out and ran to tell my DH. Bless his heart, he was so excited. Then I went to the store and bought a more expensive brand (1st Response), thinking I would get a darker +. I took it that afternoon and it turned out negative, but I dismissed it thinking I needed to use 1st morning urine (since my AF wasn't due yet). Next morning it was still negative. And so were the other 5. The last one I took was Mon. morning. I called to set up an appt for a blood test, but my Dr. wanted me to wait another week. I originally thought I might be preg, because of the massive amount of discharge. Now that's subsided a little, but now I'm bloated, constipated, nausiated, and my boobs feel like they weigh 10 lbs each. Something hormonal is going on, and I'm so ready to find out what the deal is!
Best Wishes!!!

I'm sorry your test was negative this morning. I didn't test this morning, I figured since I tested yesterday and it was negative, today would be too soon. Maybe tomorrow morning... I'm tired of going through these tests, they are not cheap! Have you talked to your doctor's office?
I just feel like I have to pregnant, if I'm not, I don't understand why my AF is so late. I know they can be late due to stress, change of diet, extreme exercise, etc, but I haven't had any of those things lately. So, we'll just keep waiting....
Have a good day,
Amy
