Is it possible to be pg with - HPT

Good day everyone. I hope you can give me some insight. Let me give you the backround.

My cycle is 32 days long (getting AF on day 33, so that would start day 1 of new cycle). I have always been like clockwork. My AF comes exactly when it is supposed to. I have been ttc #1. My AF was due 8/16/03. I took a HPT on 8/17/03 (First Reponse) and it was negative. I took another test 8/19/03 (clear blue easy) and still got a negative result. My AF is still not here so today (8/21/03) I took another HPT and still got a negative result (again with First Response). My breasts have been tender, I have been getting dizzy (lightheaded) and today I had a bad headache and I am hot. I just do not feel quite right. My BBT is also still elevated. I cannot get in to see my doctor until 9/3/03 (he is on vacation). Is it possible to be pregnant and just not getting a positive result on the test? Any input would be appreciated.

It does help to know that I am not alone. It is so frustrating. You begin to wonder if you are making up symptoms in your head because you want to be pregnant. I as pregnant once before but it ended in a misscarriage. At that time, the hpt turned positive before AF was due. That is why I am so confused now.

I definitely think there is still a chance you may be pregnant, your body may not be producing enough of the HCG hormone yet. Every bodys body is different. I remember reading that somewhere.

"A test may be negative for several reasons: You may not be pregnant, you may have ovulated later than you thought (and so not be far enough along for the test to detect your hCG), or your pregnancy may have complications affecting the amount of the hormone in your body"

Hope this makes you feel a bit better :-)

Good luck

Cool. Thanks for the response. I will just have to play the waiting game and see what the doctor says.

Sorry for the delay in getting back. I just started my AF today (almost one week late, very unsual for me. I do not know what to tell you. Although my breast were very tender, they tend to get that way when I am about to get AF so I did not know what to think. In my case, I ended up not pregnant. I kind of thought I was not since all the tests I took came back negative (even after AF was due). Have you gone to the doctor yet. If not, I would go and have them check you out. I would want to get the positive answer. Good luck, I hope it ends up the way you want. I guess I have to wait until next month.

I'm currently waiting. My AF is due anyday now. Actually I'm expecting a visit either today or tomorrow (hopefully not). The waiting can be unbearable. This is our first month of trying. I have a 19 month old now, but he was a bit of a surprise so I didn't have to wait with him (I liked that a lot better). With my son, I started suspecting I was pregnant when AF was a week late and I was feeling nauseous. I took a hpt (ept, I think) and it came up negative. When my period didn't start for another week, I called my doc thinking something else was wrong. Two days before going to the doctor's (a little over 2 weeks post AF) I took another hpt and it came back positive. I was really starting to feel a lot of symptoms, but being my first child, I really wasn't aware that they were pregnancy symptoms.

So, moral of the story, if you don't get AF soon, call your doctor. There may be something else wrong, but you could also be pregnant, even if you get a negative hpt. My hpt didn't come up positive until I was 6 weeks with my son.

Thanks for responding.. I started AF yesterday not whole lot but more than the spotting I was doing all week. My question now is do I count my first day when I started spotting or yesterday? I am gonna start charting after a couple of months of seeing if my periods are gonna be regular...and I lose about 50-70 lbs I am 38 will be 39 in Dec I have 3 boys ages 4,15,17 and I want the 4 yr old to have someone to grow up with I would also like a girl but it doesn't look too promising for that. Also what does BFP stand for?

Thanks,

Rhonda
