Feeling Sad...

Strawberries80 · August 2012

So my period is not due until next week (Tuesday). My ovulation calendar said to take my home test on Friday at the earliest. Being as though I'm impatient, I decided after lunch today to take it and see what happens. It might be too early to tell but it came up negative. I'm in complete disbelief. I feel 100% pregnant. I have all the symptoms of being pregnant. Going to wait until Friday or Saturday and retake the test. If it comes back negative, than I guess I was wrong. I'm cramping again and I have a little spotting going on. So I don't know if its my period trying to happen or not. Feeling sad...:(

Well, as I learned over on TTGP board, you aren't out until AF shows. Wait until friday to test again. Also this is a nifty little chart that I copy and pasted from the TTGP newbie link.

HPT accuracy DPO
10 dpo : 35%
11 dpo : 51%
12 dpo : 62%
13 dpo : 68%
14 dpo : 74%
15 dpo : 80%
16 dpo : 88%
17 dpo : 92%
18 dpo : 99%

I hope it was too early to get a +. FX for you!

BTW...the spotting is brownish. Not heavy and not bloody red. I know brown spotting is normal as well. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Keeping my fingers crossed. Wasn't expecting or planning to be pregnant and now that thought of it has me excited. don't know how I would feel if it comes back negative/NOT pregnant.

Thanks, I hope it is as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

PMS can mimic pregnancy symptoms exactly sometimes. If you get your hopes up every time you get a "symptom" you could be setting yourself up for disappointment a lot. GL.

Oh I understand how PMS works. Trust me when I say that the symptoms I've been experiencing for the past few days, weren't PMS symptoms. My nipples NEVER hurt like they have these past 2 days. I know when its PMS and not pregnancy. This isn't my first pregnancy or baby. So as I said before, I'll wait and see. Thanks!

That was my exact reaction.

Ummm, if the earliest you are supposed to test is Friday, it shouldn't be a big surprise that the test today is negative. If you've been through this before, then you should know that testing this early and getting a negative result doesn't mean that you're not pregnant.

You said yourself you are testing way too early. Try not to get too overboard until it is actually enough days after ovulation to test or until you actually get your period. It is too early to be complaining on a board that you feel sad when you don't know anything for sure yet.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who finds this incredibly strange. I don't get the "May hopeful" posts at all.

Seriously. OP, I know what it's like to so badly want it to be true, but what you're experiencing right now are either PMS symptoms or what is known here on the Bump as the "mind fetus." Bottom line, if you were actually experiencing pregnancy symptoms, you would have enough HCG in your system to get a positive test. Now, that doesn't mean you might not still get a positive test at some point - you yourself admitted it was early - but you can't "just know" you're pregnant.

I also recommend taking these posts to the TTGP board.

I'm so happy it's not just me thinking this stuff belongs on TTGP. I never posted on the monthly boards until I had a BFP, it seems strange & maybe a little MUD.

(snicker) I agree, it probably won't be well-received anywhere on TB. No one likes a phisher. But at least it's more on-topic there.

Sorry to hear! I know you were hoping to get a positive! BUT if you miss AF you will know for sure!
