Hi all, just after some advise really...

My OH & I stopped using contraception in November, we had only been using condoms& I have never been on/used any other form of contraception and I have a 31 day cycle.

I have been having odd symptoms for the last couple of weeks-extremely tired no matter how much I sleep, constantly needing to pee, random/strange dreams, woken up feeling slightly nauseous a couple of morning, keep waking up at around 4/5am unless I go to bed really late & sometimes I still wake up even then, have had some extreme mood swings (laughing to sad crying in a few seconds and then angry).

I am not normally a PMS sufferer so this is all odd to me, my OH & I really thought I was pregnant so we did a test Xmas morning (2days late for my period) however we were both shocked when it came back as "not pregnant". I have been getting stomach pains on & off like period pains but nothing horrendous tbh....

Just wondering if anyone has experienced false negatives? Or has any advise? I'm now 4 days late so any advise would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Keep testing, every 2 days or so, until your period comes. I didn't get my bfp with DS until 22dpo, so if you can't wait for your period, keep testing! Buy some cheapies though - I test on cheapies and will only fork out a tenner on a digi to confirm. Could cost you a fortune! Alternatively, get your bloods tested at the doc?

Thank you! Can I ask what cheap 1s are worth while? I popped & got some from superdrugs today £4.99 for 2 (buy 2 packs for £7.99) as I had £5 i superdrug points to spend but wondering if there are any cheaper 1s than that but that will still give me an accurate answer?!Thanks

I bought a batch from eBay but I got my first bfp with DS on a poundland cheapie. The bonus is you can merrily pee away to your hearts content then confirm you dozen or so cos you don't believe it cheapie bfp on a digi! Good luck x

I'm in the same boat Lisa, no AF, 9 days late but still getting BFNs. I'm going to the docs for a bloodiest on Monday as its driving me mad. I've read a million forums and it seems really common to get false negatives early on and you seem to have really strong symptoms, so don't give up. I read on another thread to get 10mui tests from Amazon, packs of 15, have just ordered some.

Let me know how you get on... Suddenly time is standing still!
