Pregnancy Test Question

[tinker_bell]

Would/should a pregnancy test pick up a pregnancy 17/18 days after conception?

I feel so 'pregnant' had awful nausea since Monday, feel headachey, really tired, tummy pains, had food aversions (tea and coffee, bleurgh) sore boobs and just generally feel a bit 'away with the fairies.

I also 'think' I'm late for a period, but can't be sure as I didn't write my dates down.

I did a test today and it came up negative, I was really shocked because I was so sure I was?!

Not sure if a) I should have bought a better test (got tescos own) b) I did it too early or c) I should have waited for my morning wee.

I wasn't even trying for a baby, but have kind of gotten used to the idea now and was really dissapointed today

Has anyone else had a similar experience? I;m going to a party tomorrow and not sure whether I should be getting drunk or not?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I would think that if you are late with AF, if your pregnant it would show!
Maybe you do need a more sensitive test?
Maybe your just not that far enough to show up on that particular test? Maybe try a different one in a couple of days??
Good luck hun!

i would wait a few more days and test again with a clear blue test and use first morning urine xxxxxxx

the teso tests are good, tested a day early with one and came up decent BFP. Maybe you ov'd later than you thought, and taking time to show up in urine?
