Hi ladies, I feel it's important to post the last week of my life on this discussion. Early last week I had been looking for advice on backpain, late period,and negative pregnancy test results. My cycle is usually 30 - 34 days. I'm just back from my honeymoon. Two weeks ago I was having constant 'period pains' in my lower back. I went nowhere without my tampons. The backpain lasted 5 days but no Period. My sister commented on how I had my hands placed on my tummy the way heavily pregant women do. I was unaware I was doing it. So on day 33 I did a (clearblue)test. Result was negative. I entered every forum on the topic!! Day 36 I used the second test in the packet. I wasn't sleeping as well as I would usually, I kept dreaming I was pregnant but the result was again negative. On day 41 I bought a 'first response' pregnancy test. It was negative. I concluded that perhaps my 'honeymoon' long distance travel was contributing to my delayed period and disturbed sleep. I partied on day 43 at my friends wedding (Tampons in handbag) I believed that 3 negatives must mean I'm not pregnant, even though I went to bed mapping out when I would be due if I was pregnant!! Day 46. I had one 'clearblue' pregnancy test left so at 6.30am when I woke to go to the toilet, I did another test. Result read POSITIVE, a faint line but I've done enough test to know that if there is a faint line, there is a baby!! To confirm it, I did another test. This time a 'clearblue digital test.' There it had it... PREGNANT depicting 1-2weeks. I wanted to share this news with you all as not many people post the confirmation of a positive after so many negatives. Post_tive thinking ladies x

Wow! That is an awesome story! I'm so happy for you! I am having some similar issues! I am now on day 33 of my cycle which is usally 26 days, with some mysterious bleeding around the time I should have started but it was deffinately not my normal period bleeding! I have been having a lot of the prego symptoms and an overwhelming "feeling" that I am pregnant. I can't really explain it. But, have had 6 negative hpts. now I know those aren't always 100%. The only reason I am not sure if I'm actually pregnant is because my husband had a vasectomy 7 years ago. But... He never went and had any of his rechecks! (We have 2 kids) I called my doctor today and she said it could be possible though. I am confused! Congrats to you though!!! Its really nice to see good news!!! Take care!

hi i am having just about the same problem. i have been on birth control for over a year now and last month i had taken it a bit carelessly but tried very hard not to mess up the timing in which i took it. This past wednesday was my last pill before the sugar pills and my period usually starts about two to three days after. but this time i am about 4-5 days late. I fainted the other day in the morning but i hadn't had anything to eat or drink and i had been on a very weird sleep schedule for about two nights prior. I took 5 hpt tests and they were all negative but no sign of my period. what could be going on?

Natalia: Your body could just be reacting to the difference in timing on the pills. When I was taking birth control, it took me missing one day to mess me up for that month. Your body is really sensitive to stuff like that. I'd give it another week before you start to worry too much. If you don't have anything by then, call your doctor. Hope this helps a little.

okay thanks, it does help. i did call and schedule an appointment with my doctor but she can't see me until a week from today. i explained the situation to the nurse on the phone and she said that the fainting my have nothing to do with it. i did bleed a little today but it was very light coloured blood, i hope this is a sign that i may be getting my period.

I just came upon this thread and decided to add my own inquiry. :) It's a bit of a story. I have a dd that I weaned in July. My period was messed up for about two months then at the beginning of September I got a 7 day period that was a little heavier, but I expected that. Then exactly 30 days later I got my period again, so I figured everything was probably back to my pre-pregnancy pattern. On the Friday Nov. 6th I expected my period and did not get it. Not really worried I just figured I'd be a day late because I was already feeling the cramps and lower back pain of my period. Then on Sunday when I still hadn't gotten my period and got a negative result on a pregnancy test, DH and I had unprotected s_x (we had been using condoms up till then). Now it's been a week since the expected date and I'm feeling a bit nauseaus and crampy. My b___sts are getting sore and I have an overall 'feeling' that I could be pregnant. I got another negative test a couple of days ago and am wondering at the possibility that I either a) am still experiencing the hormone changes from weaning or b) might have ovulated late enough to get pregnant that one night or...something else I can't think of :) Oh and I'm not that overly stressed and haven't changed my diet so I'm pretty sure that isn't why I'm late. Anyway that's my long story, any insight would be appreciated.

Hi All....well I am in the same boat as most of you guys. Let me tell you my story. I have 2 healthy children born in 05 & 07. In Feb this year I found out I was preg. Unfortunately, I had at 10wks preg we discovered we had had a "silent" miscarriage. I had an ERPC (or D&C as its normally referred to) in April. 2 months later found out I was pregnant again. Everything seemed fine, until started bleeding at 11+6 and scan at 12+3 confirmed we had lost our baby. My periods have been a little erratic, but the longest cycle I have had is 31days. I am currently on day 35 with 2 neg HPT's. Tender b___bs, nausea, needing to urinate constantly...all the preg signs. Little niggling in my pelvis though. Not sure what to do as would love to have another baby but also petrified of going through the heartache again.

I'm in the same boat. I'm terrified. Going to the doctor tomorrow to get an ultra sound to see if I have an ovarian cyst or and ectopic pregnancy which is very dangerous for me. I have pain in my lower right side of my abdomen. Something is up. I can feel it. I know my body. I just wanted to believe that everything would work out.

 

zandari - January 25

look up ectopic pregnancy. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for an ultra sound to rule that out. I'm 10 days late and 5 tests are negative. I'm afraid.

Dublin85 - January 30

Hi Im TTC my first baby. Came off the pill beg OCT, since withdrawal bleed been regular at 27-28 day cycles. My last period was on day 27 on 31st Dec, finished day 5. Ovulated between 11th-13th Jan. I know im only 2-3 days late, but its unusual. My HPT both were negative. I have clear discharge, was very, very tired last week, have pain around my nipples, not sore to touch just a pain that fades in and out, not constant and a feeling in my stomach muscles like im holding my tummy in down low but im not. Are any of these actually pregnancy symptoms or just coincidental? Can anyone offer any advice please?

 

rivera84 - January 30

DUBLIN85: what do you mean around your nipples? because tired is a sign of pregnancy but also not really the best sign because i used to get tired all the time and i was not pregnant..my main sign of pregnancy was my b___bs hurting a lot..not just sumtimes either..i had an ectopic nov 09 and there were times i could not sleep my b___bs hurt..i went to the doctors the other day after 3 negative hpts and their test came back positive same with bloodwork..my b___bs are now hurting the only sign i had was spotting for 1 day..i just though it was because my period had came on twice in dec..if i were u go to ur doctors they will do bloodwork which is the best way to get ur answer..

I have been reading these forums, and have learned some useful information...most importantly that every woman is different in her experience. Here is some information on my own situation: I have been ttc since October, and have been keeping track of my 38 day cycles. My period was right on every time, including in December (12/15/09), after I had gotten 3 positives 3 days before (it is my understanding I went through a chemical pregnancy, since I received many negatives after the bleeding, but it was not quite as heavy as my normal pd). I was set to ovulate somewhere between Jan 2-9. I began some light brown spotting on the 11th, lasting about a week, but never with any fresh blood, clotting, or normal period symptoms (heavy bleeding, severe cramping, sore b___sts, and lower back pain). I also began to break out around this time (which I do usually get around time AF arrives). My period was due 1/22, and I still have not had my period. I took a test on the day I was supposed to start, one a few days later, and one at a week late (1/29) and got all negatives. I have been experiencing extreme fatigue since 1/15 without changing anything about diet and/or sleeping habits. I have been taking prenatal vitamins since mid October, so I don't think it is a deficiency. I have not had many other symptoms except achy muscles, headaches, gas and bloating, and moodiness. I am set to do a blood test, so I will let you all know tomorrow. It will be nice to have some peace of mind and know one way or the other. I haven't been under any stress really, so I don't believe that is the cause. Hopefully I find out soon so I can let you know :) Good luck to everyone!
