NEED OPINIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Ok, let me first explain my story....

My LMP was August 8th. I have not had a period whatsoever since then. I have taken 4 HPTs and they have all been negative. 3 of them were First Response and one was ClearBlue Easy Digital. I haven't really had any signs/symptoms of pregnancy until this week. This week a few mornings and days I have felt a little nauseious, but nothing serious. I have been extremely tired, my breasts have been tender and I have felt a tightness in my lower abdomen along with mild cramps. If it wasn't for the negative HPT's I would SWEAR I was pregnant. But with all the negatives, I don't know what to make of it. I have not been on any form of birth control. I have only been this late once before and that was before my wedding when I was super-stressed, but I have nothing to be stressed about now, so I really don't think stress is causing me to be so late.

Can anyone give me their opinion about what they think this is? Does it sound to you like I am pregnant? The only doubt I have that I am is because of the negative pregnancy tests. This would be my first ever pregnancy, so I really don't know what to expect or look for. I have a doctor's appointment for Friday, but until then, I could really use some of your opinions.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi! I'm kind of in the same boat. I had a period, but it was a lot different from my normal one, lighter and more spotting, and i've had an ache in my lower abs, my left side mostly. I have taken 3 or 4 hpts, and all were negative. I don't have any other symptoms, besides being bloated and gassy, but that could be anything. I called my doctor and asked about it, and they said I still could be preggers and it's just not being picked up on an hpt yet. I'm going to the dr on tuesday for tests, to figure out if it's a cyst or preg. I hope it at least made you feel better to know someone else was in the same situation! I really hope your drs appt goes well (today, right), and that if you aren't pregnant nothing is seriously wrong with you. That's what i'm worried about. If you need to talk, I'm ALWAYS checking this board..best of luck!

When did you take the HPTs? If you ovulated late (say several weeks late) you may not have conceived until a week or so ago. So that could be why the HPTs have been neg. Just a possibility...
