On August 24th me and my husband had unprotected sex. That is supposed to be a day i ovulate. And now I have to take a nap during the day or I am way to tired even though at night I sleep like 9hours. And my breasts will hurt but not all the time. And almost every time I eat something I feel naseated. I bought a very cheap pregnancy tests and it came back with a faint line. But I haven't had my period since June 9th. And i took a blood test July 24th and it came back negative. Could I be pregnant?

You're only 8 DPO, so it's virtually impossible for a HPT to detect pregnancy at this stage. Most tests can detect pregnancy the first day of your missed period (usually 12-14 DPO). Also, it's too early to feel many, if any at all, symptoms of pregnancy, if you indeed, got pregnant on Aug. 24. Sorry that I didn't give very encouraging words, but just wait it out and in a few days, test again and you may find out for sure. Good luck!

I think I had a similar scenario with one of my pregnancies (I have 4 kids-don't remember which one) Out of all 4, I have NEVER tested positive with a home pregnancy test. And they were supposed to be the dummy proof ones. And each time I was certainly pregnant.

Usually the tender breasts and nausea are the first signs. (Everything makes you gag basically) And with even a cheap test that read a faint line, supposedly, that still would mean you have a high probability of being pg.Good luck to you. I would just take it easy, and take another test. I know patience is so hard to come by when you are anxious about conceiving. At the same time, your body and mind start playing tricks on you.
