hopefully theres someone here who can relate.

heres my situation:

we have been ttc#2 for a couple months now. on October 26th i ovulated and got my period 6 days later on Nov 1st. AF lasted until the 7th. at this point, i already had the feeling i was pregnant, i had no signs, but i just had a gut feeling i was, despite having my period. i had gotten 1 normal period with my last pregnancy so i knew it could happen again. on the 10th, i picked up a test and took it at the worst time (9pm lol). i was on my way home from work and just HAD to get a test. so i took it, it was negative. then (ironically) about 30 mins later i started to get these very very light cramps, but they were far down in my abdomen. not up higher to the sides where i get AF cramps. they didnt feel like AF cramps either. then i felt fluid coming out and went into the bathroom to find a light pinkish/clear in my underwear, i wiped and it was red with a big clot. i put on a pad and the next morning there was very light spotting on the pad. i didnt spot for the whole day, but had more of the light cramps through out the day. until nightime again, when i got more cramps and more spotting, this time pink and brown. that went away and the next morning i had a clear mucus when i wiped. the spotting stopped after that. i cant help but think this was IB, since it happened within the IB time frame. i also never get a "final visit" from AF that late. usually she stops for the day on the last day and reapears at night, but gone for good in the morning.

since that started i have been nothing but exhausted, cranky, peeing alot more than usual, bloated, gassy, thirsty as heck, slightly nauseous when im eating some foods and craving EGGS! i hate eggs! lol i took another test on wednesday and again this morning (18dpo) and both were still negative.

my doctor told me wednesday to wait until sunday to test again then call her monday. (i couldnt help but test again today lol).

i also was using the first response test which is suppose to be the one to use when testing early.

has anyone else gotten a negative result at 18dpo?

oh BTW, along with those other symptoms, ive also been very lightheaded and faint and i just dont feel like myself.
