Question

today my period is a week late and i took some test on the first day of my missed period but it was neg..i shud also mention that it was with one from the dollar store.....then i tested 2 days later with the dollar store brand ones again and still neg....my question is when could i test again (but with an e.p.t.) no dollar store brands i dnt trust them!!!lol so like i was saying when can i test again knowing that i think i might be because of my missed period adn the week b4 my period was due i had light brown/light pink discharge..(implantation bleeding)??on and off for 2 days..then i never saw it again...can i still be preg. and haev the tests not showing it?!?!? this is really confusing and yes i do want to have a baby

syptoms i have are really bad constipation and bloatedness...as well as nausea(when i dnt eat or wait too long to eat) dizzy spells implantation bleeding...discomfort in my back shoulders adn neck...stuufy / runny nose..and constant sneezing( i dnt have a cold or allergies) weird symptom i kno but my mom had that as well when preggie so i guess it possible..what are my chances of being preggie

Answer 1

"Just any test" isnt the right way to go. You may have lower hcg (pregnancy hormone) and it may take til week three to get a positive. FRED (First Response Early Detection) has the lowest IU's of hcg needed to get a positive and are comparable to what they use at the Doctors office. Here is a handy chart I saved from when I was preggo the last time.

Notice how week 4 (the week your next period is due) the number varies from 5-426? Most pregnancy tests like ept and cheaper require 100 IU's of the hormone....you could be under 100. Most Doctors offices Quick Vue dip sticks are 40 IU's. Fred's are 50 IU's.

This is standard level of HCG
Week 3 -7 0 to 5
Week 4 14 (next period due) 5 to 426
Week 5 21 18 to 7340
Week 6 28 1,080 to 56,500
Weeks 7 to 8 35 to 42 7,650 to 229,000
Weeks 9 to 12 49 to 70 25,700 to 288,000
Weeks 13 to 16 77 to 100 13,300 to 254,000
Weeks 17 to 24 4,060 to 165,400
Weeks 25 to birth of baby 3,640 to 117,000
4 to 6 weeks after birth Less than 5

As you can see from this chart, every woman is different. The only 100 way to know super early is a blood test. So dont get discouraged!!! You just may be preggo! Now take those vitamins!!

Good luck and I wish you baby dust!!!

It is really normal for young women to experience irregular periods. You might skip a period. Then have a longer or shorter period. Then you might go back to a normal period. You get the picture. This process is important, though, because your body is learning to settle into a regular menstrual cycle. In a few months, your body should figure out which cycle is best for you. That might mean a period every 20 days, 28 days, 34 days, or something in between. Some girls have irregular periods their whole lives. But if the bleeding doesn’t become more regular, see a doctor. There are many reasons why a girl might miss a period, including: * Her period cycle hasn’t stabilized yet * Stress * Too much exercise * Strict dieting * Pregnancy A missed period can be the first sign of a pregnancy. If you have had unprotected vaginal intercourse then it is important to know if you are pregnant as soon as possible. Get a home pregnancy test from a store or, better yet, make an appointment with your doctor or at a clinic.

There's not a big difference in the dollar store ones vs. the more expensive ones, so don't blame it on that. You either have the hormone coming up, or you don't. You may have just tested too early, or you just aren't pregnant. I know it's hard to wait, but you need to wait until you're a week or so late, then take any test. Your symptoms could all be from stress. Don't get too hyped up, even though that's easier said than done. Good luck~

Answer 4

ok mama here we go tests no matter what brand can come out false sometimes.its rare but it can happen .. ive gone through this feelings a couple times...if the case is that you want to get pregnant then just hope an hope and test your self about 2-3 weeks if you havent had your period yet by the 3rd week you dont have your period your most probably pregnant .if your feel dizzy .nausea..headache bladder pain and feels rough this can all be your mentality and it can all be in your head. i though i was pregnant and didnt have my period for 2 weeks and thought i was even seeing my tummy get bigger... it was all in my head .goodluck

Answer 5

I don't think your pregnant the brand of the pregnancy test has nothing to do with the results of the test. You are probbaly just stressed. Your period should be on the way once you relax. But if you are still concerned call a doctor!

Answer 6

You should buy a test to find out, clearblue digital test is good as it says in words preg or not preg. If your period doesnt arrive a week later you should check with your Doctor and they will let you know if you are or not

Answer 7

I no someone who use a first response test like 4 times and they should up negiative and a week later she went to the health dept and it came back postive. I also no someone else who used one from the dollar store and it showed up postive went to the doc the next day and it came up postive

Answer 8

The sensitivity of the test for the dollar store might not be as great as that of EPT or easy blue. You should buy one of those cause you can use that before a missed period.

Answer 9

Any test should be accurate once your period is a week late. Go to your doctor and have a blood test done.

Answer 10

Chances are your right, you have the right symptoms. the first morning pee is the best. also if it comes up neg again make an appt. with your doc cause this could be something more.
