    Needing advice

    I have been experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.
    sore erect nipples initially, coupled with dizziness and fatigue. Thought not a lot of it.
    Also trips to the bathroom, 4 times this morning and I have only been up for an hour!
    wake up with a sore throat.
    Now my boobs are sore (as well as the nipple thing) and for about 2 week I have been experiencing uncomfortableness, cramping, stabby pains and bloating in the lower abdomen.
    newest ones being sore lower back, cranky! noticed smells that no one else seems to notice and a metallic taste sometimes when I eat.
    Now I am 2 days late.
    I was concerned and did a test 4 days ago and it was negative.
    Was that too early to pick up? would it read accurately now that im late?
    if another test is negative, what else could be going on with me???

    Is your cycle regular? If it is then a test should come up positive now that your late!

    Sounds pretty promising to me!

    Thank you for replying!
    I am very anxious as I have not been trying to conceive and don't know what to expect.
    you would suggest to do another home pregnancy test now? I shouldn't wait a little longer as only days ago it was negative.
    if it is negative again, what should I do? I really feel like I am pregnant. What else could be going on with me?

    A (home pregnancy test) HPT usually shows up positive after AF (period) was due. I would test again.

    Test again using your first morning wee, and if its still negative you can go to the GP for a blood test, that is the most definite way to get an answer quickly & save you from worrying. I don't know what other things might give those symptoms but the body is a strange & marvelous thing so there are probably a number of reasons why your hormones could be doing something different. But the best way to know for sure is to see a doctor.
