I am really confused of these test - I had sex with my husband on February 15th and we might have had an oops. I am 39 years old and done with having kids but anyway on March 10th I noticed my breast were tender so I took a test on the morning of March 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th all came out negative - I am so irregular so I just decided to test those dates - From the day I had sex until now = do you think it was too early to test??

I am very irregular so that last mentrual period I had was 3 months ago but my doctor knows all about this. I had a recent checkup over 6 months ago. I tested again today still negative.

This is not necessarily true. Some women produce very low amounts of HCG, the hormone that a pregnancy test is measuring. For me, it takes weeks after my missed period for a test to come back positive. I would suggest calling the doctor and getting a blood test, which is much more sensitive than a urine test.

I understand you are irregular, but if you got pregnant from Feb.15 it would be showing up by now.

Yep, that's why I said she should be testing positive by now.
