Pregnancy Testing

in 1st Trimester

I am currently 2 weeks late and pregnancy tests keep showing up negative. I've been having some symptoms - discomfort, nausea, back aching, and any kind of food sounds disgusting.    

I recently miscarried but when I did a hpt then, it showed a positive (it was light, but it was a positive). Also, my symptoms were different. I had swollen breasts and high emotions.

I really don't know what to do right now. If I'm 6 weeks along, shouldn't it be showing up? It scares me because if I'm not showing up on htp's then does that mean my hCG levels aren't high enough? What does that mean for the baby? I just don't know what to do.

    If your 2 weeks late and not testing positive you're probably not pregnant. You can be late for a number of reasons and your symptoms are not just pregnancy symptoms. They could be caused by other things. What to do? Wait it out, theres nothing else you can do.

    If you are super concerned, the best thing you can do is go into the doctors for a blood test. Though, I've experienced a lot of "phantom" symptoms that really made me think I was pregnant. Ironically, when I actually did get pregnant, my symptoms were a lot less annoying than that of what I thought to be pregnancy signs. Nevertheless, pregnancy tests are normally accurate. When did you m/c? If it was your last cycle, or recently, I think it might play a part in your cycle and made you just missed one all together. Things like that are known to happen. Likewise, I've heard of hCG levels being so high that a pregnancy tests says "Not Pregnant." But, being that you had a recent m/c, I'm guessing your body is just regrouping and healing. GL :)

    If you recently had a miscarriage and think you might be pregnant, if a hpt test is coming up negative you have a couple options- wait a week and take another one, or set up a doc appointment. If your really want to be sure and are stressed/concerned about it then it probably wouldn't hurt for you to set up a doctor's appointment. I miscarried before as well and I also know that sometimes that can cause added anxiety or constant fears of pregnancy/pregnancy health whether or not you are even pregnant.

    My m/c was in November. I've had 3 AF's that came right on time since then.

    I really thought that once the back aching started AF was on it's way, but nothing has happened. I only got freaked out today when I took another test, so I haven't been stressed - just more excited at the hope that I might be.

    sounds like you probably ovulated late. if you aren't charting or using OPK's, then there is no way to know if you are actually late or not. and if you WERE two weeks late, then a test would definitely show positive. i'm guessing it's just too early to actually be testing.

    This.  I actually thought I was out of the baby making game this past cycle when I got my BFP..because it came SOOOO late.At 17 DPO..BFN...18 DPO BFN..19 BFP!!  You may have just O'd really late....either way...if you're so concerned ..go to the doctor...AND...if you were far enough along to be having symptoms..you'd be far enough along to get a positive.  The same hormone that causes the symptoms is the same one that causes the test to be positive.

    I have a friend who has two healthy sons, and has never, ever gotten a positive result on an HPT.  I'd give it another week, and if AF doesn't show and you're still not getting a +HPT, call the doc about scheduling a blood test.
