frustrated at neg HPT!!!

Well, me and my fiance havent really been trying to concieve but we do plan on having children one day (maybe sooner than later!)and use protection most of the time but I'm sure you girls know that sometimes in the heat of passion... Anyway, Last month I got my AF around the 30th of July. Today is the ninth of September but still no AF. I am pretty sure that I am preg. but then again I dont want to get my hopes up. My fiance is really excited and says he's positive we are but I cant be positive until a + shows up. I've cut myself from alcohol and caffinated beverages though just in case. I have taken two HPT since the 1st of the month but both showed up -. On monday 07 me and Scot went to the doc and had a blood test done. I got the results yesterday (08) and they were - too. It is so FRUSTRATING! I think I have been having symptoms: abdominal and back cramping at position changes that come and go as they please, incredibly sore bbs - sometimes so sore in fact that it hurts to wear a bra! My nipples seem to be expanding and both my bbs are growing - a first in the last 3 years! I am getting headaches off and on - though that could be from constantly debating whether I am pregnant with myself;) Also there has been the wonderous constipation and gas that makes every moment so much better;) I was just wondering if anyone else has had so many negatives even when they are over a week late. I feel discouraged. My AF has no sign of showing up and all the tests are -! I am going crazy! So many women say how they got a + on the first day of their missed period, has anyone else taken so long to get a +? How long can it possibly take? I am starting to worry b/c if I am not preg. then something is the matter with this body i was given! My bbs are never sore around my AF and they feel like they are almost hard inside, they at least feel like there is something going on in there! I need some advice or at least some common experiences to give me some peace of mind!

Thanks guys!

Cathy,

That's how I feel, too, only I haven't been to the doctor yet. (started a thread on this earlier today: to go or not go?? I feel so silly!). My boobs are making me crazy!! They don't hurt, they just feel all tingly & like they are just going to pop right out at any minute.

:hug:

Baby dust to you!

Good luck

Hey thanks for the baby dust! I am going crazy and I would tell you to go to the doc to get tested but right now I am pretty pissed at the doc for my -! (could be those crazy emotions I'm feeling!) Wasted all that blood for nuttin! But seriously, I would go, and try and get some peace of mind. If my test had been + i wouldnt be going crazy right now! Best of luck!

My baby prayers are with you

Cathy,

A couple of months ago i had the same problem as you. I did not have as many symptoms but my periods were very late. I ended up buying pregnancy tests because my husband and i have been trying. All of them came back negative. So i went to the doctor for a blood test and that came back negative as well. I think all the stress about wanting to be pregnant made my period longer and also i have been off the pill since last october and my periods are just starting to become almost normal again. My period cycles were ranging from 35-50 days. They were very irregular. So now i am still trying but hopefully with my periods becoming more regular it will be easier to conceive. Try not to worry so much and your period will come. You can call the doctors office and ask what the hormone level was on your blood test and they should be able to tell if your period is coming soon because that is what my doctor told me after my blood test. Good Luck.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! I am in your shoes exactly. My last AF was August 5 and still no af yet. I have taken several hpt's and they are all neg. I had a blood test done last week and it was neg. I am having symptoms just like you are but nothing is positive. I'm also worried that something is wrong with me. My cervical position is high and soft, my temps are up, my pulse is up. It's time for my annual anyway so if I don't start in a couple of weeks then I guess I will be going. With my DS, I had a line the first day of my missed af. I friend that I used to have never did show up + on hpt's her entire nine months and I have heard of a woman who did not even show up + on a blood test until she was 4 mos along. I don't know what to tell you because I don't even know what to tell myself. DB and I are trying for #2 and it's killing me not to know, if i'm not, i wish AF would just come already so we could keep trying. And, I just found out my sister is pg with #4 and she had her tubes tied 4 1/2 years ago. If I would be pg, we would be very close in our due dates so maybe I'm just experiencing sympathy symptoms for her. Anyway, good luck to you and if you find out anything, please let me know. You can e-mail me at angiebeck2003@yahoo.com even if you just want to talk and compare things since we are in the same boat.

Cathy! It sounds like we have a lot in common! I'll be 20 in January. My fiance and I aren't really trying but my period's so late that if I'm not pregnant I'm going to be disappointed. My last period started July 25 and today (I've sort of lost count) I think that makes me 18 days late. The tests keep coming up negative! Three HPTs and a blood test last Saturday, all --. I can't imagine what's wrong with me! I've been trying to monitor my CM and body temp in the morning and everything, but since I never charted it before it's really hard to tell. My bbs are sore and I've def. had other symptoms...cramps, headaches, gas and bloating, moodiness. I might be imagining all of this! Like you said, if its not pregnancy then what's wrong with my body? Hope we can stay in touch--good luck and lots of baby dust to you, I know you must be as frustrated as I am.

Hi Cathy,

I totally understand what you're going through. I am 6 days late, and have had 4 negative HPTs. I am never late. I feel like I am losing my mind as well = I NEED to know one way or another! I'm so nervous that I can barely sleep, and each day is filled with anxiety beyond belief. I can't go for a blood test because I'm not insured in the country I'm in, but I bet I would get a false negative anyway. I have a friend who went through this as well, and she turned out to be pregnant. Her tests were all negative until she was 2 weeks late. Then the tests were positive!

Don't give up hope! You might be pregnant - no matter what the tests say!
