Hello all, this is my first post.

I’m just wondering, I’ve been doing some at home pregnancy tests (several actually, it’s getting to be a bit silly! ;)) and they are turning out negative. I have TOTAL baby brain - vague, dizzy as well as nausea, sore breasts a little cramping, unbearable heartburn which I don’t think I’ve ever had in my life, headaches, I’ve gained weight and mood swings (my poor partner! :rolleyes:) I’m now 4 days and counting late and I FEEL pregnant. It’s also because my body is just doing all these things it NEVER does like I’m never late and I never put on weight and I rarely get sick….

I know it’s entirely possible that they are falsely negative but the wait is driving me bananas! I’m getting a blood test on Saturday. I guess I was just wondering is anyone else was going through this. (also a bit hard because my partner is away on tour at the moment)

Thanks!!

Have you done a few different brand HPT's? As they will all have different sensitivity levels.

Goodluck at the bloodtest on Saturday!

Hi! I’ve tried pregnosis and discover. Both negative. I’m SO confused! I think the biggest red flag was that I'm putting on weight.
All through my teenage years I had to take weight gain formula because my metabolism was just too fast and I’ve now been the same weight for over 10 years. Until a few weeks ago! Thanks for the good luck wishes!

Hi there, welcome to bub hub!

I did four pregnancy tests when I was pregnant with DD, all came up negative. My warning signs were putting on weight and pimples. The test didnt show positive until I was at the doctors @ 8 weeks pregnant. So yes, they can be false negatives!

Good luck at the doctors, you may be pleasantly surprised :)
