Posted: 01-16-08 17:24pm

hey, iono if u remember me but i posted the topic "is it a possibility???"...anyways my g/f missed her period about 3-4 days ago so we took a test today and it said negative but we are still worried cause she still has signs of pregnancy and her period hasn't come yet...does anybody have any suggestions of what to do or what is wrong?

Thanks Smile

just FYI you wouldnt have pregnancy symptoms or signs just a few days past a missed period. It could just be stress or hormones throwing her period off and/or giving her these "symptoms". Just wait 2-3 more days and try agian. Remember FIRST thing in the morning!

the "signs of pregnancy" could very well be pms symptoms, id say wait a week and try again if she doesnt get her period

What they said.....but also did you test correctly? It's best to test with first morning urine.

No she didn't test early in the morning, I told her that it's recommended to do that but she wanted to find out like right at that moment. One reason though why we are getting more worried is because her symptoms are getting worse. Now she has morning sickness, sore breasts/discoloration of nipples, major mood swings, fatigue, cramping and the list goes on...but yea we are going to wait another week and try again (early in the morning this time), if it still says negative and she still hasn't had her period then we are going to do a blood test.

Well then she needs to take another one and follow the directions exactly. The first test she did is meaningless.

It sounds like you have a good plan, but as we told you on your previous thread, there is no way that the symptoms she is having are related to pregnancy.

From your other thread:

This happened a couple weeks ago and she hasnt had her period yet cause it isnt her time

In other words it wasn't even time for her period yet.

but she has been really tired A LOT and has been feeling sick to her stomach off and on for a little over a week. We are both worried about it but aren't freaking (yet). Is there a big chance she could be pregnant?

Thanks a bunch!!
No, there is not a big chance she could be pregnant, but there is a small chance. Her symptoms have NOTHING to do with pregnancy, however. She has the flu, pms, or something else.

Are you sure you have the dates right? Are you sure she couldn't have already been pregnant before the unprotected-sex-after-the-condom incident? Ask her when her last period was.

How long have you been going out with her?

her test wasnt meaningless, just because she didnt take it first thing in the morning doesnt mean it wasnt accurate. I took both of mine with my sons at night and they were accurate. Also my friend just took one a few days ago and the directions said it wasnt necessary

First morning urine is the best. It will be more concentrated.

Everyone is different!! Maybe her body hasn't adjusted to the hormones yet and that's why the tests are negative? even if she does first thing in the morning. Someone on here said they took 4 tests and 3 were negative and the positive one was I think a full month after her missed period. Only time will tell. Don't stress out, it'll only make things worse, trust me. The blood test should show something, and if not, then please ease your mind of it!

futureshock, if you could only get result from an HPT early in the morning then why doesn't it say that on the box/instructions??? and also she wasn't preg before we had sex, i was her first so that's not even possible and we have been goin out for a little over 5 months to answer your question...also im pretty sure it's pms symptoms, she doesn't have the flu or anything plus she is under A LOT of stress right now so that could be causing some of this. my friend had the same thing happen with his g/f and she didn't have her period until 3 weeks after the test turned out negative and she had all the symptoms my g/f has...so yea like i said we are just going to wait a week and see what happens, if she doesnt have her period by then, then we are going to take another test (in the morning) and see how that turns up
