I'm almost jealous cause everyone else seems to be getting plenty of replies I posted this three days ago (maybe the wrong section idk) and I only got one so please take the time to help me out if you can. I know this is a lot of questions but my family isn't being supportive and my 90 yr old Dr tried to give me bc after clearly voicing his opinions on young unwed mothers (I'm 22 and I almost want his license), based on a low sensitivity urine test (at 12 dpo). He was actually telling me that no over the counter test was more accurate than those at a Dr. office and all the while his young pregnant nurse stood behind him shaking her head and mouthing no at me, lol. But anyways I have no one to ask these questions and no support system so yeah PLEASE help me out.

I am 24-29 dpo and I know I'm pregnant why am I still getting a negative hpt? I'm testing in the morning with dollar tree tests and a first response last week. I'm now almost two weeks late but a week before my period was due I had some strange lighter than a usual period but not spotting, bleeding. I get nausea in the morning around 7-11 it feels like motion sickness and seems to be progressing (it just started 3 days ago), headaches(bad) 3 days straight about a week ago and periodically since and I never get headaches, sore breasts and nipples itch (and sometimes I get a burning sensation in them, heart burn, my temp is 98.9 but I just started checking a week ago, Blue veins bugging in arms and breast's, red spider web veins too, Oh and pimples I've never had a pimple! Plus I know this is early but I have dark skin I can totally see a line from my belly button to my pubic bone, did you get that early too? I've heard people say they didn't get a positive until they were 6 weeks pregnant (and I would be six weeks today and still neg.) If thats true what causes it? Do you think I'm pregnant I don't know what else could cause these issues. Did you have a strange period too? Did you get a late bfp if so how late and did you get a bfn before? I could really use some words of encouragement. Also a few people have told me they had a similar experience with twins (I have twin sisters and quite a family history of them so it wouldn't be a stretch) what do you think?

I am sorry you have no support. Hopefully you can get some here. I will tell you this ....there is no way to tell your pregnant on symptoms alone. Your body and mind do very strange things to you.


That being said .......please find a new dr.! He really should retire because being an unwed mother these days is not exactly rare. I hate to suggest planned parenthood because I loathe that place but you can get a second opinion and a new test.


Hope you get the answers your looking for soon

Hi, I think you do need to change your Dr.

I agree with what others have told you. Please find a new doctor or midwife who can give you the support you need. Look in the phone book. Anyone would be better than what you have now. Your mind can trick your body into thinking and acting like you are pregnant-which is not to say that you aren't. Go to a doctor ASAP to get a more conclusive test and in the mean time, try to relax. Do something you enjoy to try to calm down. Go see a movie or read a book or go for a walk, or go shopping. I know how hard it is when you just don't know. No matter what the answer is, you will deal with it just fine once you know for sure. Are you hoping that you are pregnant? Stress about that can definitely make your period late. I'm not sure about all of your other symptoms though. Many pregnancy symptoms can also be PMS. You don't mention your significant other. Is he supportive and helpful? I hope you get the answers you are looking for. Please keep us posted and I'm sorry you have to go through this alone. Now that you've found this board, maybe you'll feel less alone. Many of us are playing the waiting game too and know how hard it is. Good luck! Today is day 28 for me and I got a negative test this morning. I'm hoping it was just too early...

You could also go to some type of pregnancy resource facility. They usually are very open to the possibilities of pregnancy and they are more than willing to test you, even mulitple times. I also wouldn't buy my HPT from the dollar tree, I'm not one
