Unfortunately, it doesn't have to be that way. I've had it happen twice now where I was looking at these faint lines on my Clearblue tests... just nothing but a tease. 😢

Thanks, dear. 😍😁👍

Wait, did I read that right? 37 days? If your cycles are usually all over the place, there’s still a chance. And honestly, if you keep stressing yourself out over this, your period might decide to take an even longer vacation. 😉
Stress can seriously throw everything off.

I just can't tell—are you actually hoping for a baby, or would you rather skip this month? Or maybe both? 😁

Yeah, I'm at 37.
We've been trying for a baby for about eight months now, so I'd definitely be celebrating if it happened... secretly, I was actually hoping it would "mess up" my work plans. 😁
But oh well, we keep moving forward!

So, I just took a Clearblue test and it came back negative 😢

mistydrifter55 said:It’s totally possible. If you had sex last night, there’s no way a test will show anything positive by tomorrow morning. It just won't work that way. 😉
Beta doesn't just jump straight to 850. It starts at zero and builds up slowly.
It doubles every 48 hours. 0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 4... That means we’re looking at maybe 5 to 10 days before things really start moving.

Say it again and you'll see just how big it really is.
😁

The reason we run the beta again after just two days? It’s simple: we need to see if there’s actually any measurable growth.

Thanks 😁
I'll take a test tomorrow morning, so I should have a clear answer then.

Thanks, ladies...
I'm doing it again tomorrow morning! I checked my beta levels, but it was back on the 28th—the interval went up to 4, though maybe I was just too early. I read somewhere that it’s possible to test a bit ahead of schedule.
And just my luck, my boss told me a few days ago that a promotion is coming my way 😍

I just took a Clearblue test and there’s this incredibly faint line appearing...
It’s currently day 35 since my last period started, and my cycles are all over the place, usually running anywhere from 32 to 38 days.
I'm losing my mind here, I honestly can't tell if I'm pregnant or not??

Ladies, is it actually possible to get a blood test for beta hCG too early and end up with a false negative result?

mistydrifter55 said:There is absolutely no way to know if you're pregnant 7 to 10 days before your period is due.
The only real way is to get a blood test—if the HCG levels are above 5, then you're pregnant.
Standard over-the-counter tests look for much higher levels, usually over 50, so if your levels are lower than that, you'll just get a negative result.
🙂

Thanks, I think I'll head to a Quest Diagnostics tomorrow to get it done.
Then we'll see. Hopefully, it's reliable... 🙂

Hey ladies!
I could use a little advice from you all. My last period started on January 1st, though my cycles are usually pretty irregular, ranging anywhere from 30 to 38 days.
For the past three days, I’ve been noticing some light brownish-red spotting along with a dull pressure in my abdomen, almost like my period is about to start.
I realize it’s probably too early for a pregnancy test, but I was wondering if there's any way to tell sooner. There is a major promotion up for grabs at work, and I really need to know as soon as possible!
Thanks so much

Unfortunately, the witch has arrived 😢

It just goes to show that you don't always need those overpriced, high-end diagnostic kits to get an answer 😉
.

I agree, they don't. That’s why I’m so confused that you got a negative result using first-morning urine, even with one of those pricey tests.

Hey ladies, I could really use some advice...
Yesterday afternoon, I took a pregnancy test and there was a second line—it was pretty faint, but it definitely showed up.
Then, I tried an Intim Plus test this morning and that one came back negative.
My period is already three days late.
What do you all think is going on?

Hi ladies, I could really use some advice...
My last period started on August 12th, and my cycles usually run anywhere from 34 to 37 days.
I took a test yesterday (on day 35), but it came back negative.
My breasts are incredibly sore, I’m feeling occasional pains in my lower right abdomen, and my mood has been really low lately.
Is there any chance I just tested too early?
My husband and I are trying so hard to start a family...
Thanks so much for your help.
