Feel pregnant.Too early to test? Posted: 06-09-08 02:16am
My period is due on the 16th of June. My
husband and I had unprotected sex on the
25th of May. We have two children together
already. I "feel pregnant"...I feel like I
felt with both of my children. I took a
digital pregnancy test today and it said
"not pregnant". The test strip inside the
test had a very faint positive line
though. I'm not really sure if that means
much? I just want to know, was it too
early to test? If I became pregnant on the
25th of May? For those of you that read my
last post about this situation...I'm still
having the heavy discharge and slight
nasuea. I just want to know...I'm so
impatient! I bought a 2 pack of tests...
when should I take the other test? Thanks
guys....you're always a BIG help!

You're testing too early. Wait until your
period is due before you take the second
test.
The test was not designed to be taken
apart and inspected. The line you saw
could be anything, really. It could have
been an evaporation line or a control
line. If you had enough hCG in your system
to cause a line, the test would have been
positive.
I know how impatient you feel, but it's
too early.

Thank you;o) I know, waiting really does
suck! It's like you can't think of
anything else all day long! Ahh! Thanks

helpful...I googled it and got about the
same thing you gave me:o) Thanks
again...I'll keep you all updated!

I don't think it's too early for you to
'know' you're pregnant but yes, it is too
early for a test to show you a positive.
I have been sure that I've been pregnant
three times now. The first time resulted
in my son who is three years old. The
other two times I got a positive result
but sadly miscarried days later. Each
time, I have felt pregnant within days of
unprotected sex. I'm very sensitive to my
body (too bloody sensitive I think!) so
perhaps you are too.
Anyway, good luck!

Hi:o) I'v thought I was possibly pregnant
a few times...but have only known these
three times. It's amazing how you can just
feel it. You are right, I am very
sensitive to my body and the signs it
gives...maybe a little too sensitive lol!
I fear that...I fear knowing that i'm
pregnant too early and miscarring when I
wasn't really even "suppose" to know i was
pregnant yet. I'v read some about
that...pregnancy test giving such early
results that had the women waitesd until
her period to take it she may have
miscarried early and asumed it was her
period. I'm so sorry for both of your
loses...are you currently ttc? My little
boy will also be 3 years old in July:o)
Well, hope to hear from you soon! Thanks
for the feedback and for understanding!

I'm not ttc but we're not preventing
either if that makes sense lol! We're
basically just letting Nature do her thang
and if I get pregnant then brilliant but
we're not putting pressure on ourselves by
saying we're ttc.
I know what you mean about wishing you
didn't know so early. I was gutted when I
lost the pregnancies but they were so
early on they were just like very heavy
periods really and if I wasn't so
sensitive to my hormones (and the tests
weren't so good too) then I'd probably
never have known for sure.

I say wait until your period is late and
then test. IF you are pregnant you should
have a BFP for sure by then. I took two
negative tests before I was positive and
according to my cycle I was late 2 months
in a row, im now 6 1/2 months
preggos....so who the heck knows right???
LOL
