Anyone test & get - after missing AF

I ovulated on 7/10 and AF due yesterday the 24th however today 25th and still no AF, no signs of AF either only signs of pregnancy, nausea, very, very tired, eating a lot more, mild cramping (not like AF cramps) I took HPT on tuesday and yesterday thursday but both negative :-( I'm dying to test tomorrow but i'm afraid to get another negative. Are there any ladies out there who have missed AF and still tested negative???

Got a doctors appointment for monday to do blood test.

Hey pinky, definetly will cross my fingers for the both of us.

I'm surprised the doc said it was too early for UTest to be positive how come? does that mean that it's too early to be taking HPT too? Utest must me similiar to HPT test arent they?...i'm guessing??

Here is my story. Hope it is encouraging.

LMP 6/12- O'd 6/29- AF was due 7/13 and never showed up- I went to the dr on 7/17 and the urine test was neg, so she did a blood test- it came back very low (11) so she had me come back- I took a first respone HPT on 7/20 and it was verrrry faint (I practically had to squint to see it)- went back to the dr on 7/21 and urine test was still neg but blood retest had gone up to 84- I took a first response test again this morning (7/26) and it was very positive!! Evidently there are some people whose bodies take longer to produce hcg and that is what the tests are testing for. My dr said that my progesterone is good and that is what holds the preg. From what I can tell, hcg is what triggers the body to produce progesterone. So, as you see, I was almost 2 wks later before I got a pos, but some people get them when they are 1 day late. If I were you, I would wait until I was 1 week late and then test. If it comes back neg, wait a few more days and try again. I know that the wait is enough to drive you insane, but so is testing everyday. Good luck!!

Legpol...What I ment by too early to test is because the hormone is probably not enough to come up in the test like Abwhite said earlier. Today I woke up with BB more tender than before and I still have the mild cramping...the nauseas has been pretty good with me this few past day (UFFF good)and getting more tired actually let me refrace that EXHAUSTED in the early afternoon that I actually have to take a nap because my head starts banging from side to side....lol. Well I will be here latter again and checking out msgs..

I'm also in the same boat. I am five days late and have had 3 neg HPTs; however, I feel pregnant. With my 1st child, I got a + test result right away, so I am especially confused and driving myself crazy. I usually trust my instincts, but it is hard when the test doesn't back you up!

ME TOO. I am 5 days late, tested once on Sunday, it was negative. will test again Thurs. I have heard enough stories on these boards to convince me that it is very possible, if not pretty common, to have a few false negatives before you get that BFP. I am still hopeful, b/c I still feel pregnant. I want to trust my instincts, but it is true that you just really want to see that proof positive on that stick!!

AF caught up with me, too. I was sure I was pg, very sure. But now, I think it might be a good omen. Because I realized, the other two times I was pg, I had been convinced I was preggers the month before! So maybe next month will be the month. Good luck to all; I'm spreading baby dust!

update on me: tested this morning and negative again. I am now 1 week late. I am going in for a blodd test this morning but I am not sure if it is a good idea. I am afraid of that being negative too! Are blood tests a lot more sensitive than urine? What should I do?
