My partner and i have been TTC for a while now ...

I have the worse case of bloating & cramps ... i'm tired & irritable ... eating everything in sight ... i'm not fitting into any of my clothes (I'm not due for period for at least another 2 weeks - if i get one !!)

But yet - the pregnancy tests have all come back negative. (And i've done a few !!)

I've got the docs on Friday ... But surely all the tests i've done can't be faulty !!

2 weeks before your period is too early to take a HPT. Even the very reliable ones can only give you a 54% chance of accuracy if you take them 4 days before you get your period. You're best bet is to wait the two weeks, then get another HPT.

Best of luck to you!

Gosh! I know how hard its to be patient! I have also been trying for a while, and buying endless pregnancy tests!

Its too early for you test, if your not due on for another 2 weeks.
And like someone else just said if you do a preg test even 4 days before your period, it will just give you a 50% result.

I would do what the other lady said wait for two weeks, and if it still hasn't yet arrived do another test. (that way you'll get a more of a result/ or make an appointment then with the doctor).

Good luck, and I hope you get a positive xx

With the cramping and bloating,this could be a sign of ibs especially if you have had any problems with going to the toilet lately with either constipation and,or the runs.You also mentioned you are eating everything in sight which could be the result of you not fitting into any of your clothes.Another idea is that you could also be depressed or suffering anxiety with the feeling irratable and tierd and when you feel like this,this too can cause digestion problems in regards to the bloating etc and the fact you are wanting to eat alot can be a sign of this too.You should definelty see your doctor.Hope all goes ok for you but to me id definelty say symptoms of depression.
Good luck and take care

When using a POAS test, you need to wait a few days until aproximately 2 weeks after conceving (or the first day of your missed period) before you can accurately tell that you are or are not pregnant! The blood tests are able to detect much sooner - between 7 - 14 days after conception!

As the symptoms you are explaining ARE signs of pregnancy - they usually do not start immediately... you may want to be pregnant so badly that your body is playing "tricks" on you and you are feeling the symptoms b/c of that!

I would schedule a doctors appt (which you have already done) before jumping to any conclusions! Good Luck!

yes they can be faulty but not rarely are they wrong
but also if you are thinking about being pregnant can make you think you are all the time so if you are really trying to fall try not thinking about it and 9 times out of ten you fall when least expect it. still go to doc and ask for a blood pregnacy test to be done instead of a urine test as they are more accurate but if you not due yet they more likely to say wait till due date so give it a bit of time

two weeks is too early to test, and surely its too early to start experiencing signs now, you could be ovulating now or your period is just getting ready to come. i missed my period for 15 days had all the signs all the tests were neg, then i went to do a blood test and my period came that evening so id wait if i were you, the Hpts are very costly and believe me if you are trying then you just wanna see the two lines and becoz of that you will buy tests after tests. id advice you to just relax and wait for your perio date, it really hard when you are trying for a baby but just think of the money you will save, i have given up now enjoying sex with my husband and when it happens it will Good luck and i hope you are pregnant.
