Can I be Pregnant with a Negative Pregnancy Test? Posted: 07-01-06 13:12pm
Hi! I'm 21 and am 5 or 6 days late.
These are the symptoms I am experiencing:
*swollen breasts that are also a little
tender. I have lost weight in the past few
months, and this caused my breasts to
significantly decrease in size (about a
whole cup size). Within the past 2 days,
my breasts have suddenly began fitting my
bras again! Its weird, and a big change,
and it makes me wonder..
*i also have been breaking out horribly in
the past 3-4 days, and I never break out
*i've been pretty tired, its hard to wake
up in the morning even after 8 hours of
sleep and I find myself ready for bed by
about 10 when I am accustomed to a fairly
late night schedule because I am in the
music business.
*also, I hear people say frequent
urination but how frequent is frequent
urination? Normally I usually pee about 2
or 3 times a day and now i'm peeing like 7
or 8. Would this be considered frequent?
Though I pee more in the daytime now I
don't have problems with being woken up in
the night needing to urinate or anything.
*and the last thing I have been
experiencing in about the last week is
almost blacking out everytime I move from
a sitting or laying position to a standing
one. I only rarely get headrushes like
that usually but now its happening all the
time. Has anyone else experienced this
really early on in their pregnancy?
So everyone, do you think I could be
pregnant? My boyfriend and I have been
trying for about 10 months. I've had a
couple of times where i've been convinced
I was pregnant and its never turned out to
be so. At this point i've began thinking
maybe I can't get pregnant, but could this
be the month? I'd love to hear from
everyone, I really need the feedback.
Thanks! :)
oh and ps, I took a test a couple of days
ago (when I was about 3 days late) and it
was negative, and i'm making myself wait
until 7/6 to take another one. Could I
still be pregnant with a negative prego
test even after my period was due?

When a pregnancy test is negative, we can
assume that you are not pregnant. Every
result from a pregnancy test taken after a
missed period is relevant! You can’t be
pregnant with negative pregnancy test! All
the symptoms and signs you’ve mentioned
are not secure signs of pregnancy. Their
appearance and intensity are very
subjective and depend upon emotional
factors. In your case, the symptoms are
probably caused by your great wish to
become pregnant. A positive pregnancy test
and an ultrasound confirmation are the
only objective signs of early pregnancy.
A late period can be caused by many
reasons beside pregnancy. It seems likely
that you will soon get your period. If
not, you can seek medical help from a
gynecologist if you don’t get pregnant
within the next 2 months; this may be a
sign of hormonal imbalance and/or ovarian
abnormality.
