Could I have gotten a false negative?

Hi this is Cassie. I wrote a post yesterday and no one responded. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it came back negative. I was very disappointed. I am due for my period today. Was it too early to test? I also had delayed ovulation by a day or two. I was expecting AF today but since I had delayed O does that mean I shouldn't expect AF until September 14? I am confused because I never heard of anyone having delayed O. I am having tons of pregnancy symptoms. Sore breasts, sore and chapped nipples, nausea, flushed hot pink face, exhaustion, enlarged and darkened areolas, and food aversion to eggs and fish. I had brown discharge 3 days this week. I have also been experiencing cramping, kinda like AF BUT feels different. I have had increased discharge as well. Are all of these normal symptoms to pregnancy? Should I retest and if so when would be the best time? I REALLY appreciate any kind of response that would help me out. Thanks so much!

Cassie

If you had a delayed O then you should expect to have a delayed AF. It is possible that you could be preggers and tested too soon. Wait another couple of days and retest.

Good Luck,

If you have been trying for over 2 years, it might make sense to go see a fertility specialist at this point. They might be able to help you find out what is going on, and make you more fetile! Good luck!! I do know that different HPT's have different sensitivity levels and it might be possible that you are preg. but not enough HCG built up yet in your system for the test to detect. Try again if no AF in 3 days. Call your doctor either way though...
