Hello Everyone

I have been married for 3 months, and last month started trying for a baby. I have been with my husband for 4 years and we always planned on starting as soon as we got married. I have a 14 yr old son from a previous relationship and I have forgot everything. I was only 19 then and I feel so different as I did back then, also my previous pregnancy wasn't planned at that age so have never actually been 'trying' before.

Actually, I cant believe how obsesssed I have become so quickly, I thought I would be very laid back, thinking it will happen when it happens but I cant think about anything else, and we're only on our first month.

I had the coil taken out in September, which had been in for a few years, it was Non hormonal coil, so nothing changed and I have had 1 normal period since it came out.

Anyway, I calculated Ovulation etc and we had intercouse at fertile times etc.

I have the following symtoms

• Bloated
• Weeing ALL THE TIME
• Tired and can't drag myself out of bed, VERY UNLIKE ME
• Emotional/Tearful
• Had a day of pinkish discharge, only VERY little on a tissue
• 6 days late on period

I have done countless tests from about a week after conception until last one was this morning, all negative. These were tests I purchased, but were cheap home tests.

I am very confused right now as although wish desperatley to be pregnant, would rather just have a positive test or a period! Hate this not knowing.

I have been out today and purchased a First Response test which was a bit more costly and am wondering when to use it. Thinking I should maybe wait a few more days to see if symptoms persist and period still doesn't come.

I am very confused as I do think I am pregnant, and I feel pregnant but then maybe that's just desperate hope.

How common is it to get negative results when you're pregnant, has anyone else been through this and then got a positive a bit later on?

I appreciate any comments as this is not a nice feeling not knowing. Upset I will be if I'm not, but just need to know.

Can't seem to relax at all, but I know a period can not be delayed due to this, only ovulation, and I only started getting stressted about it in last few days when period didnt arrive.

Sorry to babble on...just nice to get it off my chest.

Hi there,

Welcome to the board :-) I have been ttc number 3 for the last 18 months, so completely understand how emotional this whole ttc lark can be.  It's hard to relax sometimes and to not become obsessed about it all.  Your symptoms do sound promising, the pinkish discharge could have been implantation bleeding.  Are you sure of when you ovulated?  You say you are 6 days late, so you could try the FIrst Response test, it's often thought best to use the first wee of the day as hormone levels are more concentrated in this. Some women do get negatives until they are a few weeks late.  If you still have no period or positive test by the beginning of next week, I would probably make an appointment with your dr for some further advice (they could possibly do a blood test to see if you are pregnant.)

I hope that helps a bit, fingers crossed for you, please keep us updated on how you get on.

Love
