So my last period was Feb.1. All last week and the week before i was feeling really tired, way out of the ordinary. Then starting last thursday, Feb.25, I starting feeling bloated and gassy, which also was unusual. Later on in the day I started feeling nauseous. So I decided to take a First Response pregnancy test the next morning. It was negative

. So I decided I would wait until the day I was actually supposed to get my period. Every day since then I have been bloated and gassy and nauseous, also with a litte breast tenderness which is never part of my PMS. Also, on Saturday and Sunday I had the worst heart burn I have ever had in my life. So today I didn't get my period and I took another pregnancy test this morning. Negative again! And I've felt nauseous and gassy and bloated again all day. So what's the deal? Why am I feeling this way? I had a feeling early last week that I was finally pregnant this time but then my tests come out negative. Do you think I actually am pregnant and the tests are wrong, or my period is just deciding to come a little later than usual?

Re: Am I Pregnant??? I really hope so!
it could be a number of things, my period has been irregular for 16 months! so... I never knew when it was coming, but I had a general idea. once i had the same problem, my period was 15 days late... and I kept taking tests and they were all negative but I had all the signs of being pregnant. FINALLY my period came, I was devistated.
When was your period supposed to start? I'd wait another couple of days and test again! GOOD LUCK! Let us know!
yeah id wait because AF is probably coming, dont get excited til the test is positive!
but like i said good luck!
And OP, you probably arent KU, sorry. If your cycle was due today and youre still posting NEG I would assume any day now AF will show her ugly head:( so sorry though. Better luck next cycle.
ETA: when ttc you are hyper aware of your body so symptoms you may have had before prior to AF that you didnt notice, you are now noticing a lot more. Keep in mind for next time. Dont you hate phantom symptoms.
I usually feel this way when I eat bad Chinese food.
bahaha... the bump never forgets

crap. my ultrasound supersonic vision isn't working today.... guess i don't have an answer for ya....
in all seriousness though, just be patient. i know how frustrating this time could be, but just b/c your period is "due" today doesnt mean its going to show... that doesnt mean you are pg. like pp said, you may have O'd later than usual, or may have a LP thats a day or two longer this go-around.... my period is "due" today (based on when i O'd, not based on the calendar.... based on the calendar is was "due" on Saturday) and I got a BFN yesterday.... you just gotta wait it out.
but #1 bump rule is don't ask us if you are pg.... we don't have a crystal ball and pg symptoms often mimic AF symptoms.... if you are getting a negative test the only thing you can assume is that you are not pg until either a) you get a + test or b) you get AF...... if you go on 60 days with no AF and no BFP, then go see a doctor...
....or no. Haha.
Sorry OP- wait a few days, test, wait a few days, test. If no AF for 60 days call your dr.
and cbarnes- really? Youre still here?

Yes. Both tests are wrong and you are really KU.

Squeeeeeee!!
Typically if you are pregnant enough to have symptoms, you are pregnant enough to show a BFP. I'm sure the tests aren't lying. They could be PMS symptoms that you've never noticed before.
Definitely this.

If you DO find out for sure that you are pregnant, please just go straight to the 1st Tri Boards.
::backs out of post::
YES!
A toast to you--
Congratulations!
you're not pregnant, dude.
Let what go? She asked us if she was pregnant, how the hell would we know?

I think she was talking about from comments on CBarnes about TTC and expecting medicaid to cover the cost. She thinks we should just "let go" of the fact that she is taking advantage of the system instead of being responsible.

Generally the "Am I pregnant?" questions don't go over well on this board. There are so many of these that pop up on a daily basis, that everyone gets sick of seeing them. We have no way of knowing if you are pregnant or not as we are not your doctor. As pp said, if you are far enough along to have symptoms then you are far enough along to get a +Hpt.
If you are not charting, then you really have no clue when you ovulated, and therefore do not know when AF is due. It doesn't matter how "regular" your cycles usually are, you can have a longer or shorter cycle at any time. I would recommend checking out Fertility Friend, sign up, do the tutorials, and start charting.
And as far as asking us about our experience with these, a good portion of the ladies on this board have only been able to experience these symptoms as phantom symptoms because we have never been pregnant. You would be better off asking a tri board about symptoms.
Thanks, mom!
Actually I started to chart 2 months ago.

Please define what you consider charting.
I have been taking my basal temperature every morning and recording it as well as recording when I am on my period and when my husband and I have intercourse and any other symptoms I notice throughout the month.
