am i pregnant?

Question

i,m 4 days late, have done 2 pregnancy tests both negative. but my boobs are really tender, i feel sick and have alot of headaches and tiredness. could i be pregnant with negative test results?

Answer 1

Best to go to your GP for a test, leave it a day or two though.

Answer 2

You can get a false negative result my friend had several negative results despite still having pregnancy symptoms and she also had her period till she was five months gone. It wasnt until she went to the doctors for a blood test and an examination that they confirmed she was indeed pregnant! Its never too early to experience pregnancy symptoms, everyone is different! And can I just say that all the people who sick of awnsering these kind of questions saying unhelpful things like I don't have a crystal ball and just do a test why awnser at all, some women just want some advice from people in similar situation about something that is extremely important and some of these women do actually want to be pregnant and are trying to do so!

Answer 3

I believe that the signs you are having-feeling sick, headaches and being tired are too early since you are only four days late. I would either make an appointment with a doctor or buy another test and test a week from your last test.

Answer 4

It is possible. Tests all "test" for a different amount of HCG (the pregnancy hormone). If the test you are using tests for a high amount, it could be that there isn't enough in your urine to produce a positive.
Wait another week to test again. Or is you're really anxious to find out, go to your Dr. and a blood test can confirm.
Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes, you could be pregnant, and you might know by now, since you have posted this.

Try a different brand of pregnancy test, the one you are using may not be strong enough to indicate HCG levels.

First Response early, test is supposed to be the best. Also EPT is good, the digital tests are a bit overpriced in my opinion.

Answer 6

I think you should go to your doctor to have a test done, I myself did 3 home tests all of which were negative and went to my doctor who did a test it too came back negative I was sent to hospital to have a scan done which then showed that I was indeed pregnant 12 weeks to be exact and I didnt miss a period. For your own peace of mind you should go to your doctor

Answer 7

You could be. Or your cycle could be changing course.TO explain what i mean--->My cycle would always start about two days after my sisters but now mines starts a week before hers. Or It could just be stress. YOu could take another pregnancy test but this time do it as soon as you wake up to get the best results. Hope I was helpful.

Answer 8

you can be pregnant with negative test. dont panic its only been 4 days. if your 7 days late then have a pregnant test.. if its messing your head up go the doctors, for peace of mind??

Answer 9

i was on birth control pills and i had my period for the first 5 months of my pregnancy and every urine test i took came out negative it wasnt until i took a blood test that i found out i was pregnant..so here is a list of the top 10 earliest signs of pregnancy!!

10. Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

9. Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.

8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.

The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)

7. Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

6. Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

5. Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

4. Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

3. A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

2. Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant.

1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.

Once you've gotten a positive result, make an appointment with your practitioner.

Answer 10

See your doctor, these symptoms could point to something else not just pregnancy, your doctor will be able to give you a proper medical examination and a blood test.

Answer 11

Headaches can be caused by minor problems
like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons
like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can
have harmful side effects, so it is better to
modify your lifestyle. More information available at
