2 Almost 3 Weeks Late...
Hello Mommies!!!
I am hoping to get your opinions. My last MP was Nov. 20th and I had no Idea I missed my MP untill 3 days after it was due, I took a test it was negitive, since then I have taken two additonal test both negitory. I was thinking I may be just skipping this month, but now my breasts are somewhat tender (not really though)and they are most certain swollen. I have been having headaches the past couple days, I feel like AF will be arriving with no arrival, and today I had gotten seriously emotional as in within five minutes I went from angry, to bawling, and laughing in between sobs, So my questions are 1. can HPT's get neg results? 2. if I'm not, if this is a phantom (or in my head) can it cause mood swings that bad? (and no it is not the past stress of Christmas, my favorite time of year, for some reason when it is that time of year I am at my happest, that is why I didn't notice I missed it, because it was not a concern of mine LOL).

S.,
With 3 of my pregnancies, I got a negative test result before I got a positive one - and I took them at a time they were supposed to be effective. Wait a couple of days and take one first thing in the morning when pee is more concentrated. Make sure to wait the full number of minutes on the package. Those tests aren't perfect.
Good luck,
S.

It could be that you're pregnant or it could be that you are about to miscarry. (If the latter is the case, don't despair! It's still great news that you can still get pregnant. I had two very early miscarriages between my daughter and my current pregnancy (4 months). My daughter is also three.)

The PT test could come back with a false neg, if it was too early. If you are not pregnant...have you ever had problems with ovarian cyst? I had my first one about 9 months ago. I had many symptoms of pregnancy. I took several PT's...all negative. Finally, I went to the MD and found out I had a cyst.

Hi S.,
You should call your doc and get a blood test to confirm what is going on. This happened to me 10 years ago. I took 3 home pregnancy test that were negative and even the urine test at the doc office was neg; however they did a blood draw that said it was positive. That positive is now my 10 year old son.
Good luck!
