How far along were you when you got your positive test? Anybody have false negatives?

Hello pregnant ladies! Congratulations 😊
I have not been intentionally trying to conceive, but would be more than happy if I were. I'd like to hear from you if you had a few negative home pregnancy tests (not because you took them too early), but it turned out later on that you were in fact pregnant.
I have had a staggering amount of pregnancy symptoms. I had a couple of days light bleeding 6 days before my period was due (never enough to fill a tampon, but more than spotting), which has not happened for years- I am usually very regular and have 3-4 days of bleeding. My breasts are bigger than ever before... although they are constantly tender, like they get a day or two before my period, but all of the time. I'm having intermittent mild cramping, tweaks and occasionally slightly stinging sensations in my lower abdomen. I don't usually go to the loo much in a day and never get up in the night to go, but now I need to urinate once every hour or two and wake up in the early hours of the morning, desperate for the toilet. I'm very bloated especially after eating and also very gassy. I've started really craving salty things- including salt and vinegar crisps, which I usually hate and also KFC (or chicken im general) even though I haven't eaten meat for ten months and wasn't missing it before now. I have loads of spots that have appeared on my chin and today, I felt really sick on the train (I sometimes feel sick in cars, but it doesn't happen to me on trains). These symptoms have been going on or building up for the last 3.5 weeks. I'm due to have my next period around now, but it hasn't arrived yet.

All of the above would make sense if I got a positive pregnancy test and I would be approx 5 weeks pregnant, HOWEVER, I have now taken 6 tests over the past 3 weeks and all have been negative. I've done them in the mornings and definitely dome them properly.

- I have been to the nurse, but she wasn't really interested. She didn't want to know the dates of my last period or anything. She just said to do a test again in a week or so and come back if I get a positive.

Any insider info from you ladies would be very appreciated. If I'm not pregnant, something is very wrong and I think I need my hormone levels checked.
 
Hi, nobody replied to this, but I wanted to post an update today in case anybody sees this question in the future. I've just had some cramping, been to the toilet and there was a little bit of pinkish blood. It might be the start of my period. I guess it could have been a chemical pregnancy (an egg that wasn't fertilised properly or wasn't strong enough / didn't implant properly), which would explain the symptoms but with negative results. It could just have been an off month or hormonal imbalance of some kind. If not I will update again!
 
I am so sorry to hear this. Sending love and positive thoughts to you x
