For the love of God.

Well. I've been reading on here, and its nice to know that other women are having negative results using HPT's when they are past due for AF. I am a week overdue, no sign or symptoms of AF coming on, LOTS of symptoms of pregnancy, but nothing. Not one single +.

Went to Dr. about three days past AF being due, and he was telling me I had fibromyalgia (spelling?) That was his explanation for why my breasts were so very sore and my nipples were quite sensative. Says he wont do bloodwork until I am at least two weeks late.

I am going positively batty over here, trying to find out if I have some horrid terminal illness that is keeping me from AF showing, or if in fact I am pregnant, but all tests are showing negative for some unknown supernatural reason.

So. For the love of God and all that is holy, does anyone out there have the same things going on? Or did you have, and found out that your were pregnant, or in fact had some terrbile illness? Let me know. Thanks you guys.

Liz.

Hi! Why don't you try to get a different doctor to do a blood test on you? What type of HPT did you use?

My period was due last monday (27th)and still hasn't showed up yet. I've taken two cheap HPTs. Both showed negative. I took one on the 2nd day past due and one on the 4th day past due. I haven't really been having any symptoms except diarrhea (sorry) and I've been bloated for a little over a week now. I'm wondering what's up with me too?

I have read in the boards that other people took 2 and 3 HPT that showed negative, but when they got the blood test done, it came back positive. For some reason it wasn't showing enough in their urine. This can happen if you've had kidney problems too! I'd go for the blood test or if you've been using a cheap test (like me) you might want to use like a "First Response" or something like that.

Hope that helps a little! :-)

Wonder if we're all 3 pregnant! lol I'm not having many symptoms, but I read on one of the post that someone didn't have symptoms until she was like 6 weeks along. Hmm....

I've used two brands of HPT's. One was a cheap Kroger Brand. The other was First Response. Two tests of the First Response, one Kroger brand, and one Dr. Office urine test all showed negative.

I've listed symptoms on here before, and I have all the classic ones. Sore and sesative bbs, nausea, exhaustion, weird feelings in my abdomen not associated with my AF, the lack of AF showing up, the list just goes on and on.

I dont really have the option of going to another dr, unless I want to pay out of pocket for the visit and the blood test. Which, I don't.

Anyone know what goes on during an ectoptic pregnanacy? I've read that your hCG levels are low, and not decteced on a test, plus I've been having wierd feelings like ovulation in my stomach the past week or so. (I have mittleschmertz) Just wondering if I should go to the Dr. immediately and demand them to look at me, and not just give me crap, or if I should just wait it out and see how long I go without AF showing. (Its been one week to the day already).

Thanks you guys.

I said in a previous message that I am over 3 weeks late now. Since I came off the pill I have been every 4th Friday without fail.

I came off the pill cause I thought I was pregnant, when I missed a period on my break I never restarted. I went from Christmas to Mothers Day (gee great timing Claire!)- which is end of March here - without a period. I gave off two negative tests, one was a home test one at the drs. I was convinced I was pregnant, I looked and felt it. The dr also thought I was and I was supposed to be going back if my period never came soon. Afterwards I lost weight very rapidly (considering I rarely have much success with diets) about 1/2 - 1 stone in two weeks.

I had to see my dr yesterday because I wasn't well and told her that I was 3 weeks late, I was planning on waiting till next week when I had missed 2 periods, but was worried about her prescribing me something. I gave another negative test.

I have been trying to find out wether people can constantly give off negatives and how reliable tests are. I have to go back in 2 weeks if I still haven't started, then it'll be trips up the hospital :-s.

Try not to worry too much, I'm sure it will all work out for you :D
