Anyone had a negative test at 5 weeks, and gone on to be pregnant?

[ReBeCcA-90]

Hello ladies, I am 28 and have a girl aged 21 months.

Since I stopped breastfeeding her at 4 1/2 months my periods have again become regular.

When I fell pregnant with her I know I ovulated on day 19 of my 34/35 day cycle so since we started to try again I have been focusing on days 17-20.

On Friday morning (first wee of the day) I decided to do a pregnancy test as I was 5 days late with no sign of period symptoms, I was convinced I was pregnant but gutted when test said negative.

I have never missed a period ever or been this late, normally when I think I’ve been pregnant and done a test the same day as I get a negative result I would start my period, but still nothing this month!

I should mention that I started a diet on the 2nd and came off the diet last weekend and in that 17 days lost about 11lbs, and also on the second of this month I started a job (my first in 3 years) so guess I have been stressed/worrying about this, also it’s only 10 hours per week but considering I am overweight I really rush around (I’m a Cleaner of offices) so for 2 hours per night I rush around and sweet, and I am wondering if this is considered (excessive exercise). So there is 3 reason I could miss a period/be late.

So my question is... have anyone on here had a negative test at about 5 weeks and gone on to actually be pregnant? Or do you think I may be late for one of the other reasons mentioned? I keep trying to tell myself that home tests are so accurate that it can’t be wrong, but my heart wants another baby so bad that I just can’t let go of the possibility of being pregnant!

Sorry for ranting and the long post!

Any opinions welcome Rebecca

Hi sorry I’ve not had experience being late unless ovulation was late but I knew I would be as been doing opk, but there has been 2 other women recently on here in the same predicament late but negative tests it seems to be common just to happen for no reason like u say the changes could have impacted your cycle. Or you are pregnant and just not picking up hcg yet. I would do another test in a couple of days to see, it’s pretty frustrating when your ttc.

Thank you for responding!

Yeah I saw their posts, I have similar stories all over google, and most of the time they end up not pregnant 😥

It’s just so strange for me, even my partner thought I was!

Still I think I will buy some more tests midweek, and test again x

I know if I’ve been late I was pregnant I’d find it bizarre if I wasn’t I’d want to know why.

Hi, after having my daughter I breastfed and I had a period when she was 5 weeks old. I continued having regular periods for 6 months, then nothing. I didn’t have a period for 20 weeks, all pregnancy tests negative. The doctor tested me for early menopause, that came back negative, then one day my periods started again but I had periods on a 24 day cycle instead of 28 days . I breastfed my little girl until she was 26 months and lost my baby weight. Don’t know what caused it and neither did the doctor. Personally I think it is very unlikely you are pregnant, but I suppose the only way your know for sure is to have a blood test to measure your hormone levels. Best of luck x

Thank you for your response, as luck would have it today I have started to bleed! Which in a way given that test was negative is a good thing as it’s a new cycle to try again! I think we’re even going to get some ovulation tests to increase our chances. Thank you again! Rebecca
