PREGNANCY

[Daisy1904]

Hello,

Me and my boyfriend have been trying to conceive. My periods 2 days late but the pregnancy test I took was negative or could potentially have something really faint. It was a drugstore own brand of pregnancy could it be possible that it just isn’t able to detect a hormone yet? My period is almost always on time and I haven’t had an irregular period or a late one in a very long time and for my body isn’t common / ‘normal’. I have very sore boobs (worse than usual) and have been quite tired (to the point where I’m taking naps and I usually never). The usual type symptoms I have when I’m due my period (like severe cramps) hasn’t occurred which they usually do on and off for around 3 days prior and the first couple days I come on. I was tracking my ovulation through two different apps, both had different ovulation days but we still had sex both times. However, my ovulation symptoms came about 2 days later than my apps predicted (we also had sex this day to). Could this be a reason I’m not getting a positive? I didn’t want to buy a more expensive test initially but if anyone thinks it would be more beneficial please let me know! X

pregnancy testing would normally be done 3 weeks after possible fertilisation ( on urine samples ) so you are testing very early. remember it takes 8 months for the average couple to conceive. its not clear if your test is negative , or "something very faint " . Repeat the test in a week , or attend a sexual or reproductive health unit to do so. Are you taking folic acid ?

Thankyou. Yes, I’m taking a ‘trying to conceive’ supplement once a day that contains folic acid.
