You still have your period, and you had three negative tests... I'm thinking you're not pregnant.

Yeh its very rare to still have your period when your pregnant. I really don't think your pregnant, especially if 3 tests have come back negative and you have your period!

You don't get pregnancy symptoms before you get a positive pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests detect hCG, which is the same hormone that causes symptoms. If you have enough hormone to cause all of your symptoms, it's enough to trigger a positive test.

The first pregnancy symptom is usually a missed period. If you're getting your period and the tests are negative, you are NOT pregnant.

NOT TRUE! Last time I was PG, I had symptoms before i gt a BFP. (Not to mention the fact that there are plenty others too!) While you are right about the fact that it is the hormone HCG that produces both the symptoms and the BFP result, it is often th case, that while there is enough to give the woman the symptoms, its too early for a test to be pos. ie not enough of the hormone present (the HCG hormone levels typically double every 48 hrs)

Umm you normally get 'pregnancy symptoms' in your 3rd and up week ... If you have 3 negative tests then your urine doesn't contain the chemical released during pregnancy. Its probably just nothing but you thinking its pregnancy is giving you the 'signs'. I had no symptoms at all just no period, you don't really get tender nipples until halfway through the first trimester and as for them getting bigger and darker thats not until later on in the pregnancy. Don't stress I bet $50 you are not pregnant.

Sweetie, the "symptoms" can be caused by anything. In fact, most women don't experience any symptoms besides a missed period until 6 weeks or beyond, IF AT ALL. Take a look around this forum at all the women who had every symptom in the book and ended up not being pregnant. How do you explain that? It's very simple... these symptoms aren't restricted to pregnancy.

Simply thinking you're pregnant will make you notice every symptom in the book. And by the way, home pregnancy tests detect hCG in very small amounts. It takes much stronger amounts than that to cause symptoms, hence why symptoms don't usually manifest themselves for a few more weeks after your missed period.

It's science. I'm sorry you don't agree.
