Confused. Anxious.

I believe I am 8-9 weeks pregnant...

I have ALL the symptoms (NONE of which I get before my period EVER)

My best friend is 21 weeks and didn’t get a positive test (INCLUDING blood) until 12 weeks...all her tests including the blood test, were false negatives.

I’ve taken 11 tests at home, 1 at a clinic, and going for a blood test on Wednesday but so far all the clinic/home tests have been negative.

My last period was December 9-12.

Between November and February, I had sex: November 5, 17, 21, 28, December 3, 7, 14, 20, 26, January 5 (only day I logged so who knows when else), february 17.

I believe I conceived December 26, give or take a few days. January 8-10 I had light spotting, which I believe was implantation bleeding.

NOW though, I have medium flow bleeding, and cramping (I’ve had cramping for like a month which is another symptom I had which made me think I was pregnant).... I was told it could be breakthrough bleeding but I’m not sure...

Help me! ??

Have you considered that maybe you're not pregnant and this is your period. Pregnancy tests are normally positive within 3 weeks after conception...

don't know your friends case but it's not usual, and possibly her dates are out but can't really comment.

What do you mean by breakthrough bleeding? Normally this term is used to describe bleeding that occurs when your period is not due but you're on the contraceptive pill, are you actually trying to conceive and did you have unprotected sex?

I think you’re probably having your period... it’s very unusual to test negative after 4 weeks. Sorry doll!x

Looks like it’s probably your period hun, sorry. You say your friend didn’t get a positive until after 12 weeks, but as you know it doesn’t mean the same will happen to you, as we are all different.

Sometimes stress & illness can delay the period too. Good luck.

The mind can be a very powerful thing and if you’re really wanting to conceive you can end up symptom spotting and putting it down to pregnancy. It sounds like your period I’m afraid. Sorry x
