Opinions Please?

I know none of you can tell me if I'm pregnant but... I am 15 days late for AF, 43 days since start of last AF, swollen and tender boobs, moody (but that might just be me), nauseated, tired, hungry, cramping in lower belly, headachy. Tried a number of HPT's and all BFN. Is it possible that I may be pregnant? Is it possible that HPT's just don't work on some people?

This is our first time trying so I'm not stressed about it or anything (just annoyed). I didn't even know half of the symptoms I was experiencing were related to pregnancy until I researched AFTER 3rd neg HPT, so I'm sure it's not my brain making my body act like I'm preggers.

Thanks!

    It is possible to get false negatives, especially if you are using an unreliable brand or one that isn't very sensitive. Check out www.peeonastick.com for brand recommendations and info.

    However, there could be any number of reasons why your period is late and you're feeling symptomatic -- you could just be fighting off a virus or other infection that is making you feel lousy and causing a delay in your cycle. I would recommend contacting your doctor for a blood test, as these are most accurate, and if you are NOT pregnant, your doctor can offer advice about what else might be going on. Good luck!

    Certainly sounds like preg symptoms! however with you thinking about it contantly and hoping that you are, you could be delaying AF even more. Best thing to do would be try another HPT in the morning and if its still BFN, get down to the Dr's. They will be able to do a blood test which tests for even lower levels of the pregnancy hormone, and will give you a deffinate answer. Some HPT are just shy in showing our result.

    Good luck x

    When we start to TTC, our bodies can get really wacky.

    I had regular periods for the past 2 years, the FIRST month we TTC, my cycle perfect every 34 day cycle went to being a 63 day cycle!!!!! I took numerous HPT and thought they were all wrong and just "knew" in my heart i was pregnant, because why else would i be late when i was so regular?!...unfortually FINALLY my doctor sat me down and said "look your not pregnant" lol..it broke my heart!

    Your period can be late for NUMEROUS reasons. Go to the doctor and ask for a blood test, it'll put your mind at rest.

    Good luck!
