New here and Pregnancy Test Fail...but strange situation...

BlueKangaroo

Hi Ladies, 

I'm new here so excited to be on the board.  DH and I are trying for our 2nd baby.  I missed my period which has been coming at 25 days.  Today is day 28 and still no period.  However, I took a pregnancy test (actually 4 of them LOL) and it was negative.  I have felt the same as I did with my first with PMS symptoms, but with #1, I got a BFP. A little frustrated at this point...we've only been trying for 3 months so I'm not giving up.

My questions are these:

Has anyone failed an OTC pregnancy test but gotten a positive result at the doctors office? 

Has anyone really had a BFP "6 days early" as the box indicates on the ept tests?  

I think I am rambling here but let me end with this...on day 29 I tested for the first time with my 1st child and got a BFP, I am hoping my pregnancy hormones just aren't kicking yet, so wish me luck as I test in the morning. ;-)

Good luck.  

If you'd like more precision in knowing whether you're actually "late" I'd recommend temping.  Sometimes your O is delayed so you're not actually late at all in a longer-than-normal cycle.

I have heard every story under the sun-- from people I know to people posting on forums-- about HPTs. People have tested + at 7DPO, lots at 10DPO, my sister's friend at 17DPO, my friend who had her period and only after it was over did she test + (she wasn't feeling well and took the test to shut her friends up), etc.

So heck-- anything is possible! Clearly, our bodies don't read the HPT packages or textbooks!

Welcome to the board-- I've only been here for a few weeks myself (this is my 6th month of TTC) but the women here are a wealth of knowledge, support, good humour, and overall loveliness. 

FX for a BFP tomorrow for you!

Your first paragraph made me laugh!

Thanks for the hellos everyone.  I am happy to report that my DH is also addicted to me POAS!

With DS, I had 3 negative pg tests. I got a negative and then that night peak on my CBEFM. DH was out of town until the next day. I actually went and bought another O test stick to see what was going on the next morning - two smiley faces. I was waiting for H to get home since I figured my cycle had gone crazy and I was Oing late (I never did get a peak that month). I googled what would cause it and read sometimes the O tests pick-up pg hormones faster than pg tests. I then took a pg test again and it was positive.
