No period, but negative pregnancy test

[Christa Martin]

Hi there,

I'm hoping to glean from the experience of all those on this group.

Ours is a bit of a complicated history. My husband had a vasectomy reversal in February of 2009. We had been TTC since August of 2009, but with no success and so we made an appointment with an IVF clinic. I am slated to start treatment next month.

In preparation, I have been practicing yoga regularly and also started acupuncture (there seems to be a correlation between success rates with IVF and acupuncture). We are trying to be proactive as possible -- we are very excited, but of course, a little nervous about it all too! It's all so new to us.

I am like clockwork with my menstruation. My cycle is a bit longer at 31 days. This month is the first time in years that I've been late (now at day 34). Needless to say, I'm "distracted." I tried a hpt on day 32 and today (day 34), both of which were negative. We've never been entirely sure if my husband's reversal was a success, as we've never been told anything conclusive after his semen analysis. I don't "feel" pregnant, but am left wondering...

Now is not the time for me to be "irregular" with starting IVF treatment soon.

Could I be pregnant and have a false negative? Or could the acupuncture have done something?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you!
CM

Firstly Welcome to the Forum

Yes it could still be too early to test so don't worry yet

I see you've posted a similar thread in TTC section so you'll get more answers there

welcome to PF, I just got my BFP and only got a stupidly faint (squint and yourll miss it) line on a test at 34 days of a 26 - 28 day cycle!

good luck to you X

I had taken 2 tests last week and they were BFP's

To my utter dismay, I took a test today and its BFN.. and no periods (1 week post period date already) and no periods yet.... what's cooking? any replies?

Hi there and welcome
U can get rong negative readings on tests, with my first all tests id taken said i wasnt but then when i went to my docs i found out i was infact pregnant. Whilst i got a positive reading with this pregnancy. Maybe leave it a while (as hard as it is) and re-take if still no period in a week or so? Or even go see ur doc and get them to do a test. Fingers crossed for u..
Good luck! Xx
