How many tests did it take for you to get a postive?

Question

I'm starting to think either I am not pregnant or hpt's just don't work for me.

I've had my typical period symptoms, but no period this month (today is the last day in May)

My periods are irregular (come at diff. times each month), but never have I had cramping and sore b***s for 2 weeks with no period in sight.

I have had unprotected s*x this month, but I have taken two hpt (Dollar Tree & First Response), both said negative.

I'm so frustrated, I just want to know has anyone had to take numerous tests before they finally got a positive?

Answer 1

for the first 2 months of being pregnant i didnt know , i had been taking one once every 10 days for 3 months and then in december it finally popped up positive!!! so yeah, then i took 3 more the same night after work and they were all posiive and my husband was excited!!

Answer 2

Your periods are irregular so how do you know your missed one?

See a doctor, they can:

A) give you a blood test for pregnancy

B) give you birth control (if not pregnant) which will regulate your periods

You could be pregnant, but since your periods are irregular you probably don't know when you ovulated so it may not be time to test yet.

I say see a dr. or wait a week and test again if no period.

hi yariah, like you i've been getting negative HPTs even after more than a week i missed my period. my LMP was nov.29,2007 and around Christmas time, i was experiencing menstrual-like symptoms. dec.29 till jan.9,2008 i took HPTs once everyday and they all came out negatives. i gave it a break and tried again on the 18th of jan. - tadaa in less than 2mins, it came out 2strong red lines,very positive : ) i immediately visited an OB to confirm it and she did a series of test and indeed the news was positive.now,im 24weeks pregnant- my OB said i had late ovulation that sweet december.it happens! : )

Answer 5

Your stressing out that causes periods to be irregular.  I would just chill and try not to worry.  Call the Doctor Monday and make your self a appointment asap.  Thats the only sure way to know.

Answer 6

The very first test that I took was positive. I bought it at the dollar store for $1. It was the day my period was supposed to come.

Answer 7

It took one for me.

But some women never get a positive HPT. If your period doesn't start in another week, and you keep getting negatives, I would call your doctor and request a blood test.

Good luck.

Answer 8

Stop stressing out b/c that causes you not to start your period. When I had a postive hpt I was 8 to 10 weeks along. Your testing way to earliy to get a postive. I would wait a couple more weeks even a month before you take another one.

Answer 9

You need to look at the test closely. The line could be very light. When I took a test as early as you, you could barely see the line I WAS PREGNANT. So be careful.

Answer 10

My periods were irregular and something told me that I should have started my period and I never did so I took a test and the one and only I bought came up positive.I usually had 1-4 periods a month that were either long or short.It was hard to tell but now I have a 7 week old baby boy.Good luck if you want to be pregnant!!
