So many Syptoms, but 2 negative tests!

[PennyParrish]

Forgive me if I'm being naive, I never have been and have never tried to get pregnant, so I'm only going on what I find on the internet.....

I came off the pill about 2 months ago, it was a pill I had to take everyday and I never had a period, however the few times I did forget to take it I would come on within 3 days at the latest.

But I've not come on at all, I've have discharge which I've never had before, my breast have been really sore, I went through my usual routine of having a period - bad skin, and a few bad moods, that was 2 weeks ago and now I'm having stomach cramps and constipation - I'm not sleeping well, so am constantly tired, and I'm kind of craving broccoli (I've never eaten the thing before in my life).... and I've gone off sex - it's worth noting that when I came off the pill I came off because I'd lost them while I was away and then was tired of the side effects, so my boyfriend and I were trying to be careful but have had a few mistakes.

So... I've done 2 home pregnancy tests and both have come back negative - I did both in the evening - should I be doing them in the morning? Does it sound like I'm pregnant or is it a case of a coincidence and it could be just something else?

Thanks for your help on this, it's driving me crazy not knowing for sure!

hey first of all welcome to the forum, its full of lovely women/girls who are very supportive.

most of us tend to test in the morning with fmu (first morning urine) as it is more concentrated, though some have had bfp's using afternoon/evening urine.

do you have any idea when you ovulated and how many days ago it was? when did u do ur 2 hpt's?

Hey...I have some of the same symptoms love too - I am due on my period this week (fri) and have been having lots of cramping for a few days, boobs have gone bit bigger and have gone off sex completely..!
I have also done about four tests actually and they all said negative - but...I am hoping, just hoping that some of these symptoms could point towards pregnancy...as I had unprotected on and around my ovulation days! What do you think Bellarina? Shall I just wait til friday to test again? Am getting a bit nervous about it! XXX

Thanks so much for getting back o me Bellarina! And sorry for my poor spelling of Symptoms! It was late and I was a little fraught!
Unfortunately I've no idea when I last ovulated because of this pill, though I used to always have my period at the end of the month (before I took the pill) like clockwork!
I did one test last week, and one the week before, and I did another this morning as suggested and still negative. I guess I'll have to wait a few more weeks then go to the doctors if there's still no sign (I'm going on Holiday the end of this week).

Will keep you posted, thank you x

if i were you i would wait until at least friday as if you are not due af until friday chances are you may have tested too early (why do we do it to ourselves eh lol)
But the symptoms are good, problem is alot of pg symptioms can also be af symptoms so if you're anything like me you convince urself its ur cycle and ur gonna get a bfp then u get let down with a bfn, so i would just chart your symptoms this week and then test (what hpt's were you using, as some have different senstiivities so whereas some can be used before af is due, others wont pick up pg hormone until af is late) xxx

no problem hun thats what we are al here for!
the problem with the pill is it can mess ur cycles up for a while after coming off it. before i went on the pill i used to have normal sorta 28 day cycles. i was on it for 10 years and came off it in july, now my last 2 cycles have been 36 & 37 days long...dunno whats happening this cycle tbh as im pretty sure i BD'd at all the right times to catch the egg but had bfn on weekend tho think i may have tested too early.

some girls on here dont have their first proper af after coming off pill for like a few months so try not to worry too much, tho if you are concerned go and see ur gp, thats what theyr there for

hope that helps xxx

It could just be pill withdrawal... and your AF will be irregular when you come off of any contraception. Good luck.
