What are the odds?
Mon, 07-17-2006 - 7:36am

I am 28, and this is my first attempt to get pregnant.

I ovulated on day 16, and I am now 6 days late with my period (and I am pretty much on the dot every month). I have not been on any chemical contraceptive for more than four years and I am very nutritious focused. Two days after ovulating I started experiencing (in the following order):
1. Nausea
2. Changes in bowl movements
3. Fatigue
4. “Puffy” pelvis and lower abdomen
5. Mild vibrations in pelvis and lower abdomen
6. Back pain (as in PMS)
7. Hunger
8. Mild cramping
9. Mild headaches
10. Nipple soreness
11. Perky nipples (for three straight days now)

I have tested three times so far with different brands of home pregnancy tests, and so far they are all negative. My body is telling me something different. And I am not sure what to do.

What are the odds of my being pregnant and testing negative? For how long?

And at what point should I do something? What is that something?

Thanks!
