test says no...body says yes!

kmp27 · January 2012

My husband and I are trying for our second. We have been trying since Jan 1st. I wasnt feeling to good on the 7th so I went to the doc and she did a blood pregnancy test and a regular one. They both came back negative. I'm still not feeling good and now my breasts are tender. Do you think that maybe the tests were negetive because I didn't have enough pregnancy hormone in my body yet? I'm so frusterated!..I feel like I am but the doctor told me no.. Tongue Tied

Buy a pregnancy test!

It may have been too early to tell. Do you know what day of your cycle you are on? When you ovulated? I'm guessing by your post that you do not. I would test again. You're not really out until you get your period though. Good luck and click on the newbie link for more info.

Take another test. Your symptoms could also be PMS, or you might be O'ing later than expected.

I would trust the pregnancy test, especially since blood tests are highly sensitive. There are a lot of reasons you might not being feeling good. I have sore boobs randomly through my cycle and around the time I'm ovulating. Are you late for your period? When was your last menstrual period?

It might have been to early but when you are trying to conceive I think you are more prone to notice every pain, tingle, ache, bubbly feeling and God knows what else. I have felt sick many times in my 2WW but ended up being me just getting sick. You never know I would say don't try to read into symptoms to much we all get these every month.

My period ended on Dec 26. I did the ovulation calender and it told us to try starting on the 1st.

Forgot to mention this in my post, but especially the bolded. I had to have a couple of blood tests back over the summer when I had a random extra long cycle (46 days) because they needed to do a CT scan and MRI. Yes, its annoying but those are super accurate.

Ovulation calenders are usually wrong.

If you aren't temping that predictor isn't accurate. After all, mine told me to start trying on the 6th and I ended up O'ing on the 3rd (CD8). Or you might not have O'd at all yet.

Ovulation calenders are based on the "average" cycle. They really are just crap. The only way you'll know if you've ovulated is to take your Basal Body Temp. and chart it. Check out FertilityFriend.com. You can get there through any of our tickers.

Ditto. They have the same accuracy as throwing a dart at a wall calender to see where it lands.

Unfortunitely, I'm guessing PMS. Even if you really did ovulate on the 1st, the egg would be just implanting on the 7th (or may not have yet). Your body does not start to experiance pregnancy symptoms until the egg has implanted and your body has created enough HCG (which is after implantation) to start. So, if you really were pregnant & the symptoms you experianced were real (& not PMS), the blood test would have picked it up.

Phantom pregnancy symptoms are very common when you're TTC. They are usually just indicators that AF is on her way. Like PP said, ovulation calendars are worthless. Charting your temps is the only way to confirm ovulation and OPK's can help you know when to start having sex. GL!

NJMom050911 · January 2012

Your period ended on the 26th, you started trying on the 1st, even if you did ovulate that early (on CD 7) there is no way you could have ovulated, implanted and tested positive in 7 days when you went to the doctor on the 7th. The process is called a 2 weeks wait AFTER ovulation. Not one week from when you think you might ovulate. Sorry

Edit: I'm sure there are some people that get a postive at 7dpo but that is rare.

BioGirl21 · January 2012

I usually feel like crap the first week or so after I ovulate.

If you were pregnant enough to have symptoms when you went to the DR last week then the test would have been positive. I'd say you aren't pregnant.

smbckr2 · January 2012

I would retest. GL!

This.

I've had many month where I swore I was pregnant. The mind is a powerful thing.

GL!

I think you should look up 'phantom symptoms' which happens to most of us during our first few cycles TTC. I recommend buying a basal body thermometer and taking your temps daily in the mornings so you can know if and when you ovulate and that's the time to have sex, make note it can take up to a year or more for healthy couples to conceive and you have a 20% chance each month, good luck !

tramik20 · January 2012

I believe the ovulation charts can help a person but of course not everyone can use it and get preg. I have a friend who used the site I do, which is different from the one everyone on here uses, and she got preg. Good luck:)
