Pregnacy symptoms neg test

khcrc2 · September 2015

I stopped my brith control alittle over a month ago. I never has perioss on my birth control. This week I have started to have early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, tender breast, mood swings (I just want to cry all the time), and acne. I have taken 3 pregnancy test but they all came back negative. Is it possible to be pregnant and having symptoms but to early to detect on a at home test? I know they can be symptoms of pms but I never felt this way before I started birth control. The only time I felt this way was with my first child but I was 9 weeks along.

Negative tests mean you are not pregnant at this time.

Start temping so that you can track and confirm ovulation.

Likely your body is adjusting to being off BC.

If your symptoms were pregnancy related then you would be able to get a positive test. You just went off BC and more than likely it's related to this. Your period can take a bit to get back on track after stopping BC.

This is posted every single day. If you are pregnant, it will show up on a test.

If you aren't, it won't. That is why they make the tests. So you can take them.

ArtlessIbex · September 2015

Your hormones are probably all messed up due to coming off BC.

It can take a while. Sorry you're uncomfortable right now, but you're not pregnant.

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

I had pregnancy symptoms and tested 3 times getting bfn's but I knew I was pregnant. I tested today and got my BFP!! It's definitely possible to get negatives bc it's still be too early to test and then get a BFP.

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

Also I barely got my iud removed on September 2nd, ovulated on September 6th and got my bfp today on the 15th. So pregnant within 2 weeks. It's definitely possible. Good Luck!

1) you still can ovulate with an IUD. However, hormonal birth control prevent ovulation. That is how you got pregnant asap.

2) pregnancy symptoms are caused by HCG. With does not occur until after the embryo implants itself in the uterus. Soooo. You could not be feeling 'pregnancy symptoms ' prior to this. You and PP may have been feeling progesterone. Which is the dominant hormone after ovulation. It can cause nausea, vomiting, sore breast, bloating..... if both pregnant and not pregnant women.

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

I have been pregnant 4 times. Each time my temps are about a degree higher, my nose gets runny, and I feel twingy pulling cramps and a dull aching in my lower back. I only get this when pregnant. I knew I was pregnant. I am very in tune with my body I can pinpoint when I ovulate just by feeling it. When I am not pregnant my body temp goes back down to normal after ovulation and it did not. I knew at 3dpo that me egg was fertilized. Waited for implantation bleeding to happen and it did at 6dpo and now i have a bfp at 9dpo.

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

Also I had non hormonal iud.

This^ also, I'd like to add that no birth control (outside of surgery) is 100% effective. I've gotten pregnant with an iud in place. I've known 2 women that have gotten pregnant on the pill. @carrascobaby4 Your argument is kind of invalid.

I see this phrase tossed around all the time. What does it even mean?

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

Like... I've been paying attention to my body, symptoms, cycle for over 10 years and I know what's up with MY OWN Body!

I know women can get pregnant on bc. I don't get where I argued or said anything about not being able to get pregnant on bc??

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

I was just giving my experience and saying you can get a negative test for testing too early and then get a positive when the hcg levels go up.

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

She stopped birth control under a month ago like me is why I even brought it up. Saying she could still get a bfp.

fourtsixand2 · September 2015

I would say if they all say negative, you aren't pregnant. Unfortunately our womanly bodies just have a way of acting crazy sometimes. I would thank the birth control for that - you do tend to go through a withdrawl, of sorts.

ecwk · September 2015

If you're pregnant you will have a positive pregnancy test. If not, you won't. I fail to see why this is such a hard concept to understand. If you're not pregnant 'enough' to turn a HPT then you're not pregnant 'enough' to have symptoms. Test every week until BFP or AF shows.

I felt the sore breasts every cycle when I was in the TWW. And bloating. Lots of bloating.

saladflambe · September 2015

It is literally impossible for you to KNOW your egg is fertilized. Literally. Impossible.

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

It is impossible to know for sure but not impossible to get symptoms.

kynbar5 · September 2015

@carrascobaby4 I'm sure I'll see you again when you start the "6 weeks and feeling baby?!" thread, simply because you're so "in tune" with your body.

saladflambe · September 2015

There are no symptoms of fertilization.

You are also not pregnant after fertilization.

There may be symptoms after implantation, although those typically do not start for a few days minimum.

You are pregnant after implantation.

There's symptom spotting.

There's thinking you have symptoms because you desperately want to be pregnant.

There's lucky guessing.

These things exist.

And I don't say these things to be insulting...I say them because it is hard enough playing this waiting game without thinking every single thing is a symptom. It's not an insult to say someone is not pregnant when they are testing negative; it's telling them the truth.

Caused by progesterone.

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

Wow! I usually don't feel my babies move until 14-16 weeks. You all are wonderfully empowering! Why not just respond to the lady's question and say you might not be but it is possible you will get a bfp in a few days? Instead you all give negative responses. Like you know others and their symptoms. And what is NOT happening to them. Why troll? I wish you all Beautiful Healthy Pregnancies! ❤️

The OP basically asked if she is pregnant which is against TOU anyways. There's no nice way to say what everyone is saying. Why sugarcoat it? I didn't see any trolls... Have a great day!

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

Maybe? Not to knowledgable on what everything is. Weird how I only get these symptoms when I get pregnant and not after I ovulate and don't get pregnant. In 10 years only the 4 cycles where I conceived do I get these symptoms.

You are not every pregnant woman in the world. Every woman and every pregnancy is different (with the exception of you apparently).

carrascobaby4 · September 2015

I definitely understand that just because an egg is fertilized does not mean that you are pregnant. You are pregnant after implantation and hcg levels rise.

Early symptoms are very real to many woman not just me. Thanks for the info though.

It is not trolling to explain symptom spotting to someone. I came in here and originally replied to the OP's question. Nobody is mad at the OP for asking this question; we've all explained very simply what is going on. You, @carrascobaby4, are the only one getting heated up. But nobody is being mean. It is not insulting to tell someone that they aren't pregnant. This isn't a competition; the pregnant people on this board are no better or worse than those trying to get pregnant. Nobody is trolling, nobody is being mean.

Edit to add: it is also not a competition to see who gets more symptoms, certain symptoms, or sooner symptoms. It does not make you more or less pregnant to have symptoms. It does not make your pregnancy more or less healthy to have or not have symptoms. But it is cruel to lead someone on by telling them that symptom spotting means they could be pregnant. As I've said - the waiting game is hard enough without making symptom spotting worse.

It's annoying that people are telling her she isn't pregnant. Maybe she is... Maybe she isn't. It's almost as if women on here make it a completion for no reason. She definitely could be symptom spotting but we don't know. The answer to her question of could I be testing to early is yes! Maybe you are testing to early and it will be positive in a few days. Maybe not.

You realize your argument works both ways right? Why tell her she is if she's not?

Yes I've said that multiple times on here. I never said she was pregnant. I said it's possible.

Honestly I'd look around for answers to this anywhere but here. Steer clear of the 'experts' ❤️

That's literally an advertisement for an application to track symptom spotting.

Also, you're talking to yourself at this point.

I'm out.

Every single thing could be a "symptom of pregnancy". I bet you could google everything and anything with "pregnancy" and someone will say they had it while pregnant. Try it.

If the test is negative, you are not pregnant. When the test becomes positive, at that point you are pregnant.

Pregnancy tests pick ups very tiny amount of hcg. Less hcg than what causes symptoms. You need hcg to build up for another week or two after the bfp before you get true pregnancy symptoms.

On cycles you didn't get pregnant or weren't ttc, you forget about all the symptoms you had when it turns out you weren't pregnant. On cycles when you did get pregnant, you look back and validate your prior feelings that you were pregnant. It's a natural logic fallacy. I, too, have been pregnant four times and it is very tempting to do.

Even surgery isn't 100%. My dear friend had a surgical tubal ligation. Two years (or so) - pregnant with her third child. Her body healed itself.
