I'm driving myself crazy. I am trying to get pregnant and I really think that I might be, but I've taken 3 pregnancy tests and they've all came out negative.
Today is the first day I missed my period and I took one of the tests this morning. The one before I took 2 days ago. And the one before that I took 2 days before.
The tests I took came from early-pregnancy-tests.com and they claim to read hCG counts of only 20, which means testing a few days before a missed period.
I had sex on all of my fertile days, in fact we have sex pretty much every day. A day or 2 after I supposidly ovulated I had really bad cramping for a few hours. I've been extremely moody, feeling dizzy on some days, feeling sick to my stomach on some days, and a very mild cramping feeling for a couple of days.
I'm starting to think this is all in my head. I guess I just need to calm down and wait another few days to see if my period does come, then re-test.
Anyone else with similar symptoms???

I do have one beautiful little 3 1/2 year old girl who was a "surprise" to us. I never really had any pregnancy symptoms with her... my period was a little less unstable back then, and I can't really remember how soon I took the pregnancy test... since I wasn't expecting to be pregnant!
Now that I'm actually TRYING to get pregnant, it seems so much more difficult. I heard that about 90% of couples end up pregnant within a year, and we've only been at it for 3 months, so I've got some time to go.
Thanks for all the support! It really does help.

First you need to relax because stress could be the reason for you not getting your period.
Apart from that, although early hpt's can be effective a few days before you miss your period they don't work for all women this early. It took my friend 8 weeks into pregnancy before she was getting consistent positives on hpt's.
I would wait until you are about a week late for you period and then take another test. If it is still negative go to your doctor and they should do a blood test. This is more effective than the hpt's and should show you for def whether you are pregnant or not. Good Luck! x x
Just a little note for 'V' too if you read it. Don't you be too discouraged either. Most of the time before people miss their periods and find out that they are pregnant, they could have sworn that they were about to come on so much so that they are always rushing off to the loo armed with a tampon or what not, only to find out there's nothing there!

Yeah, I've got the same thing going on. I think I took about 10 HPT's in as many days..all negative. Last one I took was on the 2nd. Period was due 2 days ago (though I had an early miscarriage at the beginning of Dec.) but I am now not wanting to test because I don't want to be disappointed.
I've had occasionally (yes, it comes and goes) tender breasts, dizziness, and for about 3-5 days after I detected my LH surge I had some mild but very noticeable (wasn't imagining this one at all) cramping in my right lower abdomen. Also have had 4-5 headaches (which I never get) and heartburn on occasion (which I first experienced last month.)
Best wishes for you! Hope your dreams come true.

I went through that with my first two months of TTC, I could have sworn I was pregnant because I felt so different from every other month before, unfortunately I was wrong, I got so frustrated and I am trying to take it easy now but it is hard, I am in my third month now and my period is due in 4-5 days, I took a test Saturday and of course it was negative, I am so sick of seeing negatives every month, I am using the same test you are using and since they claim to detect the hgc hormone earlier than any other test I keep testing early hoping that it comes out positive! I don't want to discourage you but your mind can play tricks on you sometimes, like I said I could have sworn before that I was pregant, I was so convinced that I went and took a blood test which of course was negative, whenever it gets close to my period I get so antsy and want to test so bad just to get disappointed again. I feel as though my period is going to come every day now and I am slowly giving up that this month is THE month it is going to happen. Well hang in there and know you are not along driving yourself crazy every month. Good luck!

i know where you are coming from! i m/c on 10 dec and then starting ttc 10 days later and since then have had very sore breasts, very hungry and mild peroid like cramps but no sign of it! i have also taken 3 tests, all neg but feel pregnant. have been pregnant 3 times before so i know the signs of my body but a test has always showed positive by now. its just a waiting game really. sometimes worrrying can delay a period but i would test again in a week if you can be patient enough to wait. a friend didn't test positive until she was 7 weeks so it is possible not to have enough hcg to trace. good luck

I was there for 2 years every month I went through this.....most of the symptoms were always in my head....the two times I was pregnant.......I felt nothing.
In fact with my son, I felt cramps...I thought I was getting my period and it never showed up.
I tested a few days before and it was negative, the day of it was finally positive.
Yeah you do need to calm down, but knowing that does not make it easier...it is just a hard thing to do! Good Luck!!!!!!

Right now I am going thru the same thing, but now i am late a week. I have taken 3 test and they all say negative and I'm very confused also, but cause some of the symptoms can be the same.

Stop the stress. It wont help you get pregnant. Also you mind can trick you into feeling the symptoms. Relax and retest again with an HPT and if it still comes in negative, and you believe you are pregnant go to the doctors.

No advice on your symptoms, but wanted to share this info: If you are having next nearly every day over the long term, your man's sperm count might be diluted (small number of sperm per ejaculate.) This reduces your chance of getting pregnant. Try skipping 4 or 5 days to let the lil' swimmers accumulate in his system.

I had the same symptom last most,and all the HPT came out negative, just relax and finger cross, and see what happen, since being a mum is what you want, you will archive your,because children are the reward of marriage.... I pray God grant all women their heart desire...

you shouldn't stress out.... maybe that is why your not getting your period.... just wait another 5 days.... if you still haven't gotten it... notify your doctor.... sometimes pregnancy test could be wrong.... hope everything goes well for you
God bless
