Has anyone had negative pregnancy tests but been pregnant?

My cycle is usually between 28-30 days and today is day 30 and I’ve still not come on. We are trying, so I was hoping I was pregnant but did a test today, yesterday and the day before (which was a 5 days early one) but all are negative. I will give it another day before accepting defeat but just based on the fact I’ve not come on yet is giving me a glimmer of hope, plus I’m feeling little waves of sickness however that could just be psychological/wishful thinking!

I will wait and see tomorrow but just wondered if anyone else has had experience of having a negative result on the first day of their missed period.

I’ll add that the tests are the own brand from Boots, the little thin strips. I’d feel more accepting if it was clear blue 😂

I’m in the same boat! I also used the own brand tests from boots. I’m never usually late on my period, it doesn’t even feel like it’s coming at all! I tested on Sunday morning and it was negative

I tested on the Tuesday and was negative and then still felt like I knew I was pregnant and I had all the symptoms so tested on the Fri when my period was due and was 4 weeks!.

ahh it’s so frustrating isn’t it 😂😂 I hate this waiting part, if I’m not pregnant just wish my period would come already so I can be 100% certain

when you know, you know!! I am due on today but test still said negative though, so hoping someone had also tested negative on their period due date to give me hope 😂

Maybe wait a week and if your period still hasn’t come, splash out for a digital test. They’re more expensive but give a definitive answer

Yes both times. I’m a late show when it comes to tests. I test daily which dosnt help but have shown positive when or after period is due, that’s using early tests too! Don’t give up hope! ✨

Thank you everyone.. I did a test this morning, one clearblue one and another boots own brand one and the boots one still showed negative but the clearblue showed positive!

So my advice is to splash out on the branded versions as it appears more accurate (in my case anyway!)

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

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.
