I am feeling extremely frustrated. We have been TTC for about 6 months now after a miscarriage last winter. I am so ready for a 2nd baby I can't stand it. Now, I finally feel pregnant with tender breasts (different from the pain I have before AF) and I missed my AF and am now 10 days late, yet 2 hpt and 1 blood test were negative. Anyone else had this happen and it turned out they were in fact pregnant and it just took more time for the HCG to show up?

well... my mom did... she had tests done 2 or 3 times, at the dr. office, with her 4th, and she SWORE up and down that she was pregg, and since she had 3 kids already, they believed her, and set her up for her next appts... and sure enough!! 9 months later, my little brother was born!

I am right there with you. I have 2 boys and feel so very much like I am pg that I can't stand it. Yet, 3 hpt's and a blood test say no. I find it hard to believe that my body could be making up all these feelings and NOT be pg. I had a missed mc with my first pg and the feelings came and then they went. There is nothing wrong with letting this cycle go on for a little while longer.

My midwife advises that we just keep waiting. We could be wrong on our fertility signs and just have conceived later so it won't show up on the test. We could also have had a blighted ovum. The only and hardest thing to do is wait a full seven days and test again. Not an inexpensive thing to do, all this testing and eating, but we must persevere! We have to think, "Baby, Baby, BABY!!!!"

I wish good things for you.

dont give up. i took a hpt last sat and it was negative . was convinced i wasnt pregnant. evne talked to my dr. on monday and he said that i should just wait it out and if i didnt start in a month then come in. i bought a bunch of cheap dollar store tests on thursday and took one when i got home. it was +. took another one and it was barely +. took 2 more in the morning and they were both positive. dr. test confirmed that i was. so a week can make a big difference. it did for me. good luck and dont give up hope. oh my bbs started hurting on tuesday which was another sign.

Dear Kelly,

I had chills as I read your messages. I talked about my disappointment with DH last night. Until then I hadn't been able to share my feelings with anyone. He said not to be sad about not being pg when we weren't trying. He said we can try next cycle and really go for the gold--or rather pink stripes as it were.

I hope to feel my breasts change soon. I have to scout out my charts from when I was pg before. I have notes from all three. The signs of the mc are as clear as the signs of a pg. I also need to get a BBT. I had a mercury one and my girlfriend left it in her car and it exploded. In my state mercury is unavailable so I have to go digital. Never as acurate, but at least something I can do every day. I have my previous temps, so I have a record. Obsessive/Cumpulsive? A little. Isn't it interesting how a little baby can make you so comepletely mental even when it is not even here?

Keep feeling yucky! There is no better sign of rising hormones than that!

JUST TO DROP YOU A NOTE

MY MOTHER HAD A SIMILAR PROMBLEM TO YOURS. SHE WAS PREGNANT AND THE DOCTORS ALL TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS NOT PREGNANT AND GAVE HER MEDICATION TO MAKE HER PERIOD COME ON. BUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER SHE FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS INDEED PREGNANT. THE DOCTORS HAD MADE A MISTAKE. SO THERE IS A POSSIBILTY THAT YOU CAN BE PREGNANT AND ALL THE TEST SHOW UP NEGATIVE. GET AN ULTRASOUND TO BE SURE, THAT'S THE ONLY REAL WAY TO TELL (TO ME).

GOOD LUCK

So, are y'all saying that there can be times when you can test negative with both a hpt and blood test and then lo and behold find out you are pregnant???? I'm now on day 47 of my cycle.......my average cycle is 35 days, but I've gone as long as 39 days before. I got my blood test results this morning........negative.....and I'm bummed! :( I have no idea what could be going on with me. Even my doctor was fully convinced I was pregnant and was shocked by the test. But, wouldn't it be showing positive on a blood test if I WAS pregnant??? For now, I'm just going to wait it out and see what happens. Thanks to all of these boards!!! :) Missy

I am in the SAME situation as you right now! I'm on day 47 of my cycle, but I have longer cycles.....average is 35 days which would make me 12 days late, but I've gone as long as 39 days which would make me 8 days late. I've tested negative on a two urine tests and got the news today that my blood test was negative. Then, about an hour or so later, my doctor's office called back and said that my doctor isn't buying the test results, that he STILL thinks I AM pregnant! So, my emotions are all over the place!!! He wants to me wait and do another hpt in a week. After that, ultrasound. His nurse said they've seen patients whose levels were under the radar and that it was only determined for sure with an ultrasound test. Are you still waiting or do you have any news yet? Wishing you all the best! :) Missy
