Re: Negative HPT but lots of Prego Signs Advice Please
You didn't say how old you are, but our bodies/mentrual cycles go thru changes every now and again. I'm inclined to say every 8-10 yrs or so. Lots of things can affect a mentrual cycle: Hormones (duh, lol), stress, sports, illness. Normal PMS symptoms can mimic pregnancy and pregnancy can mimic normal PMS symptoms. It's a crazy mixed up cycle. If you THINK you're pregnant, your mind will make you THINK you are.
That said--you can only get pg a few days a month. (Around the 14th day of your cycle-day 1 being the first day of bleeding). It can vary from a few days before to a few days after. Sometimes even lovemaking can induce ovulation. Ovulation occurs at or around day 14, implantation occurs 7-10 days after that. You could test positive at or around days 21-31. (FYI:Gestational Age is always two weeks behind actual age because dr's go by last period, not implantation.
If you took an HPT about a week after your period, you would have taken the test on day 12-15 of THIS cycle, so you would have had to have gotten pg during your LAST cycle and would have been about 3-4 weeks along already and would have most likely had a positive HPT. (except in rare cases)
and since I just noticed this post was over a year old and you didn't respond back, maybe it's safe to assume you got your period the next month and weren't pregnant
