Negative HPT :(

[sarabeth87]

So my period is about 6 days late now, which is very unusual for me because it's never late. I took an HPT (it was an Equate early pregnancy test, which is Wal Mart's version of First Repsonse I guess) Anyways, I took it yesterday in the middle of the day and it was negative. It says it can detect pregnancy up to 5 days before your missed period, so since I was 5 days late, I figured the results would be pretty accurate. The thing is though, I still haven't started. I could barely even get any pee out and had drank two glasses of tea about an hour before hand. Do ya'll think I should retest or see if there is possibly something else entirely different going on with me?

Sara - Sorry that you got a negative today. It is possible that you ovulated late and that is why you are late. Did you have any stress earlier in the month? Were you sick? Did you travel? Stress in any form can delay ovulation. The time before ovulation can be delayed for a number of reasons but the period between ovulation and menstruation is always the same within a day or so. It will not be affected by outside influences. I would test again in the morning or give it a few more days. Hope you get a + soon!

Thanks Caroline! I'm pretty stressed right now just because of some family stuff, but that just came about Sunday so I was feeling good both physically and emotionly when I should have ovulated. I just hope I get a + soon or at least get my period. This not knowing drives me crazy lol.

Get another test and do it in the morning when your urine is the most concentrated. Usually though, the test are accurate any time of the day.

I agree. Take another test first thing in the morning when you have a full bladder. Good luck! I have been ttc for a while now too, and understand how stressful it can be when you think you might be pregnant but can't get a definite answer.

You can also go somewhere like Patient First and request a blood test. They do it while you wait. All 3 of my pregnancies were confirmed there because I wanted to be SURE and it was a Friday. LOL. My insurance always covered it.

I took another HPT first thing this morning and it was negative. It was a First Repsonse, so I'm pretty sure if I was pregnant that it would've showed up positive, so I don't know what's going on now. Maybe my period will start soon and I can stop worrying about it.
