Negative Test but 5 days late ??

Hi all,

I'm new to this chatroom, and i have a couple of questions.

I'm about four or five days late for my period (which is always on schedule), and was sure that i was pregnant. But when i took a home test yesterday it was negative.

I've been having a lot of symptoms, like tiredness, breast changes, etc so i was almost sure that i was pregnant. But now that i've taken this test I'm a little bit worried.

Has anyone else had this type of situation?

Did i take the test too early? (i was 3 days late and it was a First Response test)

I was planning on telling my fiance tonight, but i dont want to get his hopes up if i'm not sure. (I had a miscarriage the last time I was pregnant)

If anyone has any experience in this I'd really appreciate a response.

Thanks, Carly

Take heart, I'm in the exact same situation you are right now! AF is 5 days late for me, and the test I took this morning (EPT) was a negative. I too have a bunch of symptoms, the same symptoms I had with my first two pregnancies/children. They are now 7 & 3 yrs old. So, even though the test was a negative, I still "know" I am pg, I have waaay too many symptoms.

Also, with my 2nd pg, I got a negative test when AF was due & I just took it for what it was & moved on. But that following week, I was so sick, I thought I had a terminal illness or something. I just remember how emotionally berzerk I was! Then, I had a terrible aversion to a food a usually ate 3x/week! A week had passed by then & I went up & took another test ... it was a positive in a second! So, I'm not worried this time around, from past experience. I am annoyed though! Stupid HPTS!

HEY! I was 5 days late for AF today! I've taken two pregnancy tests. One when on my 2nd day late and the other on my 4th day late. I'm never usually late at all! The only symptoms that I have are very mild nauciousness, a little hungry more often, and (sorry ->)diarreah. I used cheap $1.00 tests so I thought maybe I am pregnant and that's why it's not showing up, but then again, I'm not really having many symptoms. I don't know. Is it normal not to have symptoms for a while? Should I try again another day?

Thanks!!!

hello iam also going through the same issue i have not had a peroid for the month of oct but i also have the sym. i have peroid like cramps but they are very light so i took a pregnacy test to and it said negative i honstly dont know when i did concieve if iam preg. but they say u can some time have a false negative when u r early in the pregnacy so what i think that can help both of us just by going to see the doctor and having a blood test done
