Hi my husband and I are TTC, and I am now 3 months off birth control pill which I was on for many years. I am now 20 days overdue for my period which has been normal since being off the birth control, have been having nausea more on and off sometimes all day ( it was worse a few weeks ago than now), I also just noticed changes in my nipples , and discharge. Which from what ive read all sound exactly like pregnancy symptoms. (99% sure I'm not) I had a blood test about a week and half ago and it said that my hcg levels were less than 1. I just want to know if its possible for the blood test to be wrong or any clues as to what may be wrong with me. I have a doctors appointment later this week to figure out whats going on. anyone responding , I know I'm most likely not pregnant but would like any clues to what it may be or if anyone has experienced a similar thing.
Re: symptoms of pregnancy but negative blood&home tests
If a blood test says you are not pregnant, you are not pregnant at this time.
Sometimes periods can be late/not happen due to stress (maybe from TTC) and other factors. What you're doing is right now is symptom spotting. Which is frowned upon because the best way to know if you're pregnant is a postive pregnancy test, postive blood test, US to confirm baby is in there. Since you've gone to a doctor's office for blood test and they say you're not pregnant then you should trust them more than the Internet.
I hope you find out what else could be wrong and good luck TTC
If you took the blood test at or around the time of when your period was due then you are not pregnant at this time. Pregnancy symptoms mean nothing if you haven't had a positive test. Sorry you are going through this confusion, I hope u get it sorted out
If you have no idea if you ovulated, I'd keep taking a hpt once per week until you get your period. If/when you get your period, you might want to start charting or using OPKs to get an idea if when ovulation is happening.
