22DPO and still negative but having symptoms like crazy!

Hello ladies,

So my wife & I did an insemination on Jan 29th , a week & some days later I started spotting which couldn't have been AF bc it was way too soon & it was super light for the most part. It did seem super bright red for a couple of days but then went back to light pink/brown. Skip forward at 2 weeks i started getting symptoms (constipation, bloating, nausea, cramping, constant hunger, & exhaustion) i tested & it was negative. I noticed my aerolas started looking like they were starting to spread, getting darker & a little soar & have these tiny little bumps near my nips. I went to the dr to get a blood test & she refused & said it was all bc I'm overweight & wouldn't give me the test. This week was suppose to be my period week & I've barely gotten any cramps & I am lightly spotting but my symptoms haven't let up. I am confused & losing hope. Has anyone else been in the same boat??

This would be my first lol and when I tell you they all came out of no where. I LOVE green tea ice cream and when I had some last week, it tasted like I took a bite out of string cheese😂

I'm not a nap person at all but I've been exhausted & even came home for lunch the other day to nap

Having dreams about babies and fatigue not pregnant

Some people have symptoms because they want it so badly and overthink everything going on with them. But I also didn't get a positive test until 32dpo so maybe your levels just aren't high enough for the test to read for some reason? I've seen a friend end up being pregnant and never get a positive urine test only blood tests showed she was pregnant

I 1000% agree with the symptom spotting & I really thought that was what was happening until my wife started seeing changes that I wasn't seeing & then I spoke with my sister in law & I was telling her things & he's had 3 kids & she keeps saying I'm pregnant but I haven't been able to get a positive test yet and what want to get a blood test so badly but they said I have to wait a whole month, I guess to see if my period comes at all.

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
