2 weeks late and 5 negative hpt... but I think I might be preggo

(I didn't really know where else to put this.)

Hello,
My husband and I have been TTC for almost 2 years now on our own. My AF is normally very regular and I have been using home ovulation tests to pin point my peak fertility. Recently I have lost my medical coverage and I am waiting to be put on my husband's. By problem is... I am 2 weeks late on my period and I have taken 5 hpt that all turned out negative. I have been having nausea, stomach aches, fatigue, occasional strong sense of smell, food aversions and cravings, and frequent urination. I did go to the ER 2 weeks ago for severe nausea, migraine, and slight dehydration. They ended up sending me home with some anti-nausea meds and said I had just had a headache. They did do a urine pregnancy test and it came back negative, but that was 5 days before my missed period. I really want to know if I'm pregnant or not, but I am still waiting on my husband's job to cover me under his insurance so I can't really go into the doctor for a blood test. What do you think? How long did it take everyone to get a positive? When should I test again? Should I just break down and go back to the ER to get them to check of pregnancy specifically?

    Oh, and the reason why my profile says 5 weeks along is because I update it each month with what my due date would be if I were to conceive that month. I have been trying to stay as positive as I can so I don't get depressed about it taking so long. But if I am preggo, then I will be due in December.

    I would NOT go back to the ER just for a pregnancy test.  The general rule of thumb is to test once a week after you miss your period until you either get a postive test, or you go 60 days with no AF at which point you need to see your doctor.

    Yeah, It's much more concerning if you are getting periods more often (if you are not pregnant). I wouldn't be to hopeful, but I sure hope you do get your BFP :)

    I got two negatives and 4 positives in a span of 48 hours and the dr confirmed I'm definitely pregnant! There is hope! Good luck!

    Not sure what preg test u r using, but hopefully it's a FRER. Those things detect pretty accurately! I used a cheapy dollar store one... Just to ease my anxiousness to do a test, but it was early and I don't think those work til u are like 9 months preg, then it'd show a positive. Lol! In all seriousness, ur not out til AF comes! Good luck!

    Do you chart? If not, how do you know you're late? You may not have O'd when you think you did. You may not even have O'd at all. Maybe the fact that you've been sick has delayed your O. If you're getting negative tests, you're most likely not pregnant. I certainly wouldn't go to the ER just to find out if youre pregnant.

    Wait another week and take another test. If you go 60 days without seeing AF, then call your doctor.

    This. I'm sorry to hear that you're in this state of limbo--that is certainly stressful.

    But don't go to the ER. In addition to the fact that it's way, way, way more expensive than just buying a test which will give you the same information--you are not having an emergency. It's inappropriate to go take up resources from people who may be actually having one.

    To me it sounds like you are pregnant. My doctor told me that her mom was 7 months pregnant and tests were still coming up negative. I wouldn't go to the ER just for a test but maybe the doctors and see if they can do a blood test if the urine tests are all negative. That way may show up more than the counter tests.

    Well, to answer the charting questions, yes... I have been keeping track of all my periods for the past year and a half. My last period was March 16th and my cycle is 33 days long. l did an ovulation kit this past cycle and also have been keeping up with my cycles with online charts and a phone app. The ovulation kit showed that I ovulated 2 days before what the phone app and online chart said and I adjusted my BD accordingly. I guess I will just keep testing with hpts until I get AF or the 60 days. And as soon as my hubby can get me on his insurance I will be sure to schedule an appointment with the doctor.

    That's not enough charting. Knowing how long your cycles usually are doesn't tell you when AF should be here. And ovulation kits aren't always right because sometimes your body may gear up to O, but you don't actually O. The only way you can confirm that you O'd is if you were taking your temperature and saw a sustained thermal shift. So if you weren't taking your temperature, it's hard to tell if you really did O or not.

    Well this morning I took another test and I got a faint line for a positive. I don't know if it really means I'm preggo or not, but I will be going to get a blood test tomorrow.
