Possible Mother's Question

I have taken three pregnancy tests. One (the first one) said that I was pregnant. The other two (one of which was taken by a nurse at the health department) said not pregnant! What should I do? I have been having alot of symptoms, such as: nausea, breast tenderness, frequent bathroom trips, mood swings, cravings, weight gain, and sensitivity to smells. I have a doctors app in a week. Personally, despite what the last two tests said, I (as well as my friends and family) think that I'm pregnant! What do you all think?

What can I do next?

Keep doing what you did to become (possibly) pregnant --until the tests are confirmed. Good luck. Sounds like you really want to join the mama club.

Honestly, time will tell. Just eat and (don't) drink as though you're pregnant, just in case, and you'll find out in a week.

what kind of test did you use?

Take a FRER (First Response Early Response). They are the most reliable.

How many dpo (days past ovulation) were the tests taken?

Test #1
Test #2 Health Dept
Test #3

How late are you?
Are you charting?
Do you KNOW when you ovulated?
Did you have unprotected sex?

The fact that 2 tests have said NOT PREGNANT is not a good sign.

I can tell you that symptoms mean NOTHING....hahahaha. You can symptom spot all you want but until you get that BFP, it's all pure speculation.

Good luck, though.

I think there is no way for us to know.

It could be a chemical pregnancy.

You will just have to wait until you have the blood test done next week or keep taking home pregnancy tests.

Good luck.

Take another test early in the morning .Clearblue is what i used and was told it's accurate. The nurse did not even test M. at the clinic. I was told if I have a positive test at home , then that would be it. I was worried about sharing the good news, because I wasn't sure if I can really trust the home pregnancy test. But looks like the nurse was right. I was pregnant for sure. Also I had lot of pregnancy related symptoms - I had horrible nausea already.
That said, you know , sometimes you can feel like you are pregnant but you are not. I mean all the symptoms are there, but you are not pregnant.The symptoms go away after few days. I am not saying that's what's happened with you, but it can happen. I would suggest taking another test at home and see what the result is now.
