Did I take the test too soon?

Question

Let me start off by saying that my fiance and I have been TTC for 10 months now without any luck. A few months ago I thought I was pregnant, had all the symptoms, but my period came anyway. There is nothing more that I want in the world right now than to have a baby. It's so hard when I see all of the people I work with and am friends with getting pregnant and having babies, especially when most of the pregnancies were "accidents and mistakes". I just don't understand how we are trying so hard and these other people get pregnant when they don't even want to be! But anyway, jumping off the soapbox...

I'm on a 31 day cycle which is RARELY not right on time. I was due to start July 12th and took a pregnancy test on the 14th when I didn't. Of course... it was negative. I'm hoping and praying that I took it too soon. I've heard of people getting negatives for WEEKS before they can get a postive, is that true? At this point, I'm scared to even try and take another test... I'm so sick of getting negatives.

As far as symptoms go, I can't really trust them. My mind and body like to psych me out. Although the one thing I am experiencing that I haven't before are dizzy spells. There hasn't been any morning sickness, but there was one day I just randomly threw up at work. Didn't feel sick before or after... it was rather weird.

Anyway, please send some good thoughts my way! I could use any and all that people have to spare.

Answer 1

go to the dr. and ask for a blood test b/c i had  a friend that the home test said negative up until she was like 3 months pregnant .... what it is the home test , tell you how much hsg you have in your urine as in pregnant or not and sometimes depending on when(time of day) you pee on the stick or how many times you have went to the bathroom could cause some false negatives so your best bet is go to the dr... and forget about the rude people .... since you are leaving in a week try taking a test first thing in the morning ..(they say its the best to test with )

Answer 2

Those arent big enough symtpoms yet to say for sure. I would wait at least 1 more week... it takes a few weeks for the test to say positive. Honestly, I would wait til the beginning of September just to be on the safe side but keep trying until then. Sorry you are having so much trouble. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

First of all...don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you how to live your life on here...people should just answer the questions at hand and quit trying to control someone else's life...that's just insane.  

I am ttc like you...but only for 2 months now.  Randomly throwing up does sound strange.  If I were you...I would take another test.  For me, it's better to expect my period than for it to just show up when I have my hopes up so high.  Both are a let down when you are trying.  If you want to save $$...you could get one from a dollar store...I know alot of people who have had good experiences with those.  Whatever you choose...good luck and babydust to you.  

Answer 4

You may have taken it too early.  Personally, I never trust the at home test.  I've always done the blood test to be 100% positive.

Answer 5

go see your doctor.... that will give you a definite answer!

Answer 6

I know exactly how you feel!! It seems everybody is having babies except the people who really want them!  It's so hard when you want it more than anything and it doesn't happen!

Sometimes worrying about your period starting can actually delay it.. I hope it's not the case for you!  

I suggest going to the Dr. for a blood test.  I know somebody who done loads of home tests, all neg. but was in fact pregnant.  She only found out after going to the Dr.

Period symptoms can be quite similar to pregnancy symptoms so I wouldn't trust them just yet, see a Dr. and put your mind at rest.

Hope you get good news!! Lots of baby dust to you!!! xx

Answer 7

usually.

2-4 weeks.

rarely 2-6 weeks.

but those arent always true.

try going to the doctor.

Answer 8

Well first of all...there was a time when I felt the same way you do now. The key is to stop envying what others have. Your baby will be a gift from God and will come at the perfect time...not when "everybody else" is having them. You said you and your fiance have been TTC. Why not focus on getting married and then TTC. Why not give your baby two parents who are truly committed to each other.

OK, I'm getting off my soap box now...It's not always easy to know when you are ovulating. What I did was I bought a fertility kit that works the same way as a pregnancy test. The test will be able to detect when you are ovulating from your urine sample. Once it gives you a plus sign then it's time to start trying. I wish you the best...

Answer 9

There's a test for 5 days before your missed period. I don't know what test you took but I would recommend that one-also, don't push it, maybe the stress from trying so hard and wanting it is making your body weird out. Be calm, if it happens it's gonna happen whether you find our the week you got pregnant or three weeks later. Chill

Answer 10

Why are you wasting your time online? You should just go get a test to see if you are pregnant again. Or better yet, go to your doctor for a formal test.

PS

Why don't the to of you wait until AFTER you are married to conceive. Stop "playing house" and get your affairs in order before you bring a child into this world.
