Default Been through this before, and I STILL don't know if I'm pregnant :)

Hey, all,

I wanted to seek your advice on something to see if any of you think that I may be pregnant. It's odd...I just had a baby 10 months ago, and yet I can't remember for the life of me, exactly what it felt like at the beginning of the pregnancy. Anyway...

I'm late on my period...it's been 37 days since my last one. I usually have 32 day cycles, and my period has stuck to that since I stopped breastfeeding in August of last year. I've been having mild cramps (like PMS, but no AF yet and my menstrual cramps have been pretty much nonexistent since I had my son) for about 4 days, slightly sore boobs, fatigue, nausea at night, and biggest of all, a feeling that I simply am pregnant. I know that all of these things are pregnancy symptoms, but I've taken 4 or 5 tests (over the course of 1 1/2 weeks, the latest being taken tonight), and they are all negative.

My question is: could I be pregnant and the tests still come out negative? If so, why would this be? It doesn't indicate a problem with the pregnancy, does it (btw, I know that ectopic pregnancies can result in low hormone levels, but I haven't had any pain in my side or left shoulder, etc)? With my son, my test came up BFP at 33 days since my last period. Do hormone levels vary from pregnancy to pregnancy?

I would appreciate any help! Thanks!!!

Bottom line is..yes,you could still be pregnant if the test is Negative..there has been known to be alot of false negatives in tests..there are a number of reasons,but the main one is simply the fact that you havent enough HCG hormones in your body so that the test can detect it.

But i wouldnt just go on what iv said,its a possiblity
