Pregnancy test taken before period due says negative but is

My period is due in 2 days although it is often irregular and I took a pregnancy test today which came up negative, although I have been feeling strange and I am usually in good health. My vagina is very sensitive during sex, my breasts are harder and sore, I have terrible mood swings, I feel bloated, have increased appetite and wake up early in hunger, I fainted two days ago, I get twinges in my abdomen, (particularly on one side), I feel sleepy more often, I find that I produce more clear discharge than usual, and I feel warmer at night than usual. Is it possible to be pregnant and it not show up on the pregnancy test? I am at day 29 and my period usually occurs at day 31 but is often a few days late. Pregnancy is the only thing I can think of o explain these sudden sypmtoms because I am usually in good health.

I was in the EXACT same situation - my 1st 2 not a problem (1st time trying and then 2nd time trying) 3rd could NOT be done! We stopped because of MAJOR life stresses at the time (mom was dying) then I just decided I couldn't do it with all the upset etc. So I take it that you were on Clomid - to bring on your period? Is that because it wasn't on a regular cycle - all over the place? Also I WILL help you I just need some more information from you OK? Here Goes: 1. Have you been diagnosed with Ovarian Cysts (thus the Clomid) 2. After the coil was removed did you have problems - infection, wonky periods, pain etc.? 3. Do you have vaginal dryness - or the beginnings of perimenopause? 4. When did your mother, aunts, sisters go into perimenopause? 5. When was you last period? 6. When did you have unprotected sex? 7. Did you experience the ovulation pains? If so what day? 8. Are you taking prenatal vitamins? 9. I am sure your doctor has done a ultrasound - did he/she say any reason for the wonky periods/the reason for Clomid, or give any reason why it is taking you a bit longer - as in uterine problems 10 - how long have your periods been regular?
@ bambi27 I was not initially trying to get pregnant, when I say that I mean I wasn't focused on the ovulation and fertility days and things of that nature, but now I have started taking the folic acid and I calculated the ovulation dates and fertility dates and this is actually the first month of trial I will keep you all posted, thanks for the advise.
hiIrts79 do you think taking folic acid tabs daily will increase fertility rate or aid in conception?pls advice us, ive tried clomid and no success... been using clearblue ovi test and intercourse on fertile dayshad copper coil removed last dec 2011, been trying since that time. i have 2 kids trying for 3rd.
Hello! The data is based on the prenatal vitamin - not just folic acid! It is the combination of different vitamins and minerals and also biotin! So take those instead - be careful not to take too much OK! There is a supplement sold at healthfood stores - that has the vitamins also herbs etc. I believe in as natural as possible! Most doctors will say give it a try for 1 year - as it is a 25% chance each month that you can get pregnant! The weird thing for myself was that I became pregnant from my left ovary - for both of my children! NOTHING with the right! Also that side - the left - HURT like a Dickens each month - I don't know if there is any correlations between the pain or not, but several of my friends also said the same! Of course there is no magic behind getting pregnant! BUT her are some tips to help - stop smoking and drinking (both of you - as this has been proven to hinder conception and fertility), loose boxers, not too much heat in the groin area! Start taking the prenatal vitamins/herbs at least a month before really trying - write down EVER date - as this will come in handy when you DO become pregnant! Most women ovulate 14 days before their next period is due! So if you feel achey or a bit like a flu etc. this might be the time of ovulation - things like being sick, or on certain pills or just even a wonky period can affect ovulation! Look for sticky white discharge - this DEFINITELY is a sign of ovulation! When you have sex, have pillows underneath your buttocks the entire time - if you can sleep like that too! This helps the sperm get through the cervix - as each ejaculate has 1 million sperm in each teaspoon, and only 1 makes it to the promised land - IF all the planets are lined up! Also this position helps your partner get the tip of his penis right next to the cervix, so when he ejaculates it has more force for the sperm to go through the cervix - as that is the bugger to get through! Now IF a couple of days go by, and you see some brown discharge or spotting, this could VERY well mean implantation bleeding! But not everyone has this! Also I ALWAYS tell women and men to have sex as much as possible, - why miss a day? Flowers - from your partners - can be sent to me attention bambi 27..... LOL! ;-D I think there is SO much stress folowing tests and guidelines etc. it puts too much pressure on the body and this can actually hinder fertility! As you have heard - through the grapevine - there is ALWAYS the story of so and so who tried for years for a baby and they couldn't so they gave up, adopted and then WHAM became pregnant? Now that has been proven that the stress or "business" of becoming pregnant puts too much pressure on the hormonal system! so Relax take baths, massages - learn massage - take a weekend course in couples massage! Learn to be IN LOVE and just take it as it is! Myself and MANY of my friends can tell you the night they became pregnant - it is usually from a really lovely intimate evening not following a calender or itineray! Good luck and IF I can help you further please let me know!
hi, i took a test 2 days before my period and it ws negative I am supposabley 2 days late, but with my cycle its hard to tell the last was was 31 days, but my breast and nipples are sore i have an increased appetite i can eat more. i am achey and moody. could i be preganant this would be my forth try and really hoping
The doctor said that it helps prevent birth defects such as spinabifida thats why im taking them.
I too have a 31 day cycle and today is 8 dpo and 23 rd day of my cycle I have taken 5 test and all are BFN! I will not test again I mean I'ma try not to test until misses AF. Baby dust to all ttc.
Back in April I took a pregnancy test a week before my period was due because I didn't feel right. It came up negative so didn't think much more about it. I was 3 days late with cramps like my period was coming and decided to just take one more test. POSITIVE! Big surprise.This is my second so goes to show you can feel like you are getting your period BUT be pregnant. So be patient, you never know. We weren't trying so I think the best baby dust is not thinking about it and letting go of trying. Happen with our first, took us 2 years and then we stop and got pregnant :) GOOD LUCK!
I am now 10 dpo and POAS this morning faint positive but i wee on the wrong side of the stick I will test again tomorrow.
I think you have a winner! The urine obviously still touched the litmus paper! So fingers crossed and I'm looking forward to your announcement! Still keep trying - the more times the better chances IF you aren't this time!
Hi all, i have been following this post for a while. me and hubby are ttc.. AF is due in 4 days..these are my 'symptoms' sore boobs and nipples clear discharge appearing about twice a day when i walk round etc sorry TMI !! sharp pains in right side low down belly/groin pains in lower back extra horny..sorry (tmi..again) nausea this morning , ate something it went away feel really tired but struggling to sleep at night (could be worry) last night i felt a very strange pull in lower belly but could be AF appearing most of all really bad headaches and bloated belly. Im trying not to get myself worked up..but the pains are different i would describe them as sharp an very low down more so on the right hand side. i have a regular 30 day cycle . I am going to test day of period in 4 days...i WILL post my result and let everyone know i wish more people would post their after posting on here good luck to you all. baby dust :) mwah xxx
Hi honey do you have the dates of unprotected sex? If it around 20 days you could take it now! You sound like you have a winner - the only thing is your symptoms also match a period! So fingers crossed for both of you!
Hello All,I read through almost every post. I recently had my IUD removed after 4 years I believe at the end of May, i bled for about 28days. Approximately 23 day after I finished bleeding I got my period in July...the 22nd, August 5th and 6th me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex. Since then I have been quite gassy, bloated on and off sick to stomach but does not last, I had cramps or a fluttering feeling in my lower abdomen around the 7th-11th, my nipples are sore if i push on my boobs. I believe my next period should be around August 19th-22nd as I think I have a 30 day cycle but it is hard to tell as I've only had this past period in the last 5 years. I am hoping for a baby, i feel nervous and stressed, If I test on the 17th is that too soon for a EPT, my only concern is I am going on a girls weekend starting the 17th and I don't want to risk anything but I also don't want to raise any suspicions as no one knows at this point we are ttc....
Actually with the dates you stated I think this is quite the possibility! I usually tell women to wait 21 days after the possible date. This will take away any false negatives or positives! So right now it is FAR too early to take a test! There are more and more studies that show the healthier you are before conception and after (especially the 2 first trimesters) the better chances of good health for the baby! Why chance it? Of course not ALL babies conceived while mother was drinking, doing drugs, smoking etc. have anything wrong with them, but why have that hanging over your head IF there was something wrong? The way I saw it with my two! I had several good years of partying it up and going out on the town, and NOW I wanted a baby, so that to me was the most important thing! In the mean time start taking prenatal vitamins - the entire mixture not just taking folic acid! The combination has been proven to increase your fertility - by quite a bit actually - and also helps with the nervous system development of the embryo/fetus! I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Please let me know! Also the sickness should not be starting right now, so it might be more from your nerves and stress - as is the gas - sore nipples ARE an indication (but also an indication of an impending period) The only thing you CAN do is wait! Good lcuk!
period arrived today 3 days late..never mind theres always next month but its so frustrating..i wish everyone trying to conceieve positive tests this month, **baby dust**I think sometimes because we want to see it so much we maybe imagine symtoms or its just period symptoms like mine! i guess we just have to be patient and wish the witch away :) xxx
