in Trying to Get Pregnant
I'm 7 days late but I have had 2 negative pregnancy tests. I'm super tired and the past 3 days have had bad headaches and dizziness. I'm really tired. Idk how to tell if I'm actually prego or if I'm looking for symptoms haha.

    Your negative test tells you you are not pregnant right now.  Often times being "7 days late" is really caused by ovulating later in your cycle then you normally do.  If you were truly 7 days late you would be able to turn a positive by now.

    If this is not your cycle you could look into tracking your temps, using OPKs, or both.  It's a great resource to help you know when you've ovulated so you're not feeling crazy towards the end of the cycle wondering where your period is.  Good luck.

    If your test was negative you are not pregnant at this time. The odds are incredibly small for a pregnancy test to be incorrect at the time it was taken. You very likely ovulated later than normal, causing your period to arrive later than normal.

    I won't say your symptoms are just in your head but when you're TTC, you are hyperaware of "symptoms!" Unfortunately PMS and pregnancy symptoms have a lot in common.

    Keep testing every few days until you get a positive, your period, or hit CD60 with neither. At that point you can contact your doctor to possibly jump start your cycle with Provera.

    Don't reply if ur going to be rude or even sound rude ok. I just wanted advice. "Is there a reason ur age matters in this?" YES it does matter if I am 60 years old then yes it makes a big difference. Good grief.

    Chill out. You got plenty of advice & no one was rude to you. I'm sorry no one here was willing to say you're totally pregnant & don't believe those negative tests. That's not the way we do things here. Read the newbie blog as others have suggested & lurk around a bit to see if this is the place for you.

    I find this very hard to believe. When a woman becomes pregnant, her body releases a hormone called HCG. Without that hormone being present, a pregnancy fails to form due to lack of nutrition and oxygen from the placenta. If she never tested positive, EVER, then she is medical phenomenon.

    Ehhh...Elly had mentioned something once about the hook effect so I went on a google spree to learn all about it.  It happens, but it's rare.

    Some people don't metabolize HCG in their urine. It's actually a thing. It's not because there isn't HCG present.

    Wow, never heard of such a thing.  Learn something new every day

    Maybe you missed the point here. 

    1. Not many here would call themselves old.
    2. Everyone on this board would like a daughter (or son) to be able to teach these things to, so much so that we took time to learn about our bodies and what it takes to get pregnant. 

    That's the only remedy for "in experience". Learning.  So perhaps instead of being rude to everyone who took the time to respond to you with helpful, accurate advice, maybe you should swallow your pride, realize you are "in experienced" and absorb some of this info.

    Wow those are all pregnancy symptoms!!! They're all also signs of dehydration, but with your 2 negative pregnancy tests, I'd say it's definitely that you're pregnant! Congrats!

    I haven't read the rest of the thread yet...

    I have had these symptoms too. Turns out I have had allergies & sinus pressure. I have two kids under the age of 4 so being tired is a regular part of life at this point.

    All you can do is take an HPT once a week until you get your period or a positive pregnancy test.

    @Trilliannnn : I fail to see where anyone was rude? Traditionally age isn't a huge factor around here. It's a legitimate question to ask why it is a big deal to mention it. I had the same thought too.

    It sounds like she either doesn't know how to read them, had the hook effect or is one of the extremely rare cases where a woman doesn't secrete HCG in their urine. The odds that you would have the same issue are incredibly low. It is more likely that you are not pregnant.

    --------
    The word is "your"... not ur. Text speak is not appropriate in any way shape or form under any circumstances. It saddens me that people think it is ok to shorten words like that. Abbreviations for frequently used phrases are one thing, but to shorten simple words like that is a bastardization of the English language.

    Whatevs, ur jus jelus bc OP is only 20 n already prego, duh.

    (Yes this was my attempt at typing like the youths.)
