false negative?
hello! my name is Amanda and I am currently 18 dpo, still no menstrual cycle and I seem to be having a LOT of signs and symptoms, however at 14 dpo (although it was at like 10 pm)I got negative results from a test. I was just wondering how possible it is that that was a false negatives? I've been off BC for a while so I don't THINK that would be what's throwing my cycle off and causing these strange symptoms but the test said negative, any thoughts? when is the beat time to take the next test? thank you!

Hello Amanda, I read in the book taking charge of your fertility that if you go 18dpo with temp rise and no AF then there is a very good chance you are preggo, or have cysts. Have you been temping? If you dont get a BFP (I hope you do) then try for a blood test maybe you are off on O day. Hope this helps.

thank you so much that was a giant help! I actually just took my temperature and it was 98.4 which I think is normal if not one lower than normal for me! I have been experiencing quite a few symptoms and this has happened before but idk they seem to be different this time not sure how to explain it! do you know aa good time to re test? I'm about 5 days late for my period now I think, and the negative was at 10:30 at night and it was pretty dark I didn't realize "a faint line" could be so faint I just realized that while looking through. the test gallery! And does it have to be in.the am? thank you so much for your kindness I just signed up for this website last night when an extremely strange symptom I've never had before so I'm trying to figure out what's going on!

At 18 dpo you should be able to test at any time of day and get a BFP if you are indeed pregnant. I got my BFP at 14 dpo in the afternoon when I got home from work that day (I tested at 12 dpo and got a bfn). As far as the temperatures, you'll need to do it every morning at the same time every day for the whole cycle to be able to determine if your temps are elevated or not. If you aren't doing it this cycle, and things don't work out try doing it next cycle. It's been 4 days since you tested, a lot can happen in 4 days. You could try testing again right now. FMU is only really necessary if you are testing before AF is due since you'll need more concentrated urine to pick up the hcg. Good luck!

Thank you so much for looking like it was your own x) I'm.not 100% positive its 18 dpo that's just my estimate because the last two months have been all kinds of messed up and my bf and I literally just started trying and we wanted to take a more hands off approach at first because a lot of fertility things say getting stressed about trying can make it not work so I wasn't really familiar with any of the counting things beforehand so I estimated the 18 part x(! I plan to take another test in about 5 hours and one more time with FMU tommorrow, if a line seems to appear again I definitely will go to the doctor! I had no idea what an evaporation line was until this website -- do you think that could be what my line is "/?
