Question

8dpo, SUPER tingly tender nipples, negative test. Too early? Or not looking good?

I'm 8dpo with a VERY "busy" fertile window. I took a dollar store cheapie this morning... And unless it's a super squinter, then it's pretty obviously negative. Here's the thing... since about 5dpo my nipples have been INSANELY sensitive, tingly, and tender and my breasts are a bit fuller. I DISTINCTLY remember this feeling of my nipples in two previous pregnancies in the very beginning. That alone makes me think I've GOT to be pregnant. My 15 month old still occasionally nurses and it's to the point that it is extremely unpleasant and painful. I've also noticed my temp has been 99 to 99.8 for the past 2 days and it usually is 97.5 to 97.8 (not sure if that means anything). But this negative test??? Was it just too soon to test? If you are having symptoms would there be enough hcg to pull a positive?

According to my research, those tests are generally for when your HCG reached 25. This would happen around 4 days before AF. First response is only 6.2 instead of 25, so I would either wait another 3-4 days, or try a First Response.

Good Luck !

Thank you so much for your response! I'll probably run and grab a few First Response tests later today. Thank you! I have a First Response Digi but saving it... are they as sensitive as the FRER line test do you know?

I think it's too soon. I would say wait a few more days or test once a day if you are like me ;) but don't let it discourage you. You aren't out till AF shows! Good luck!

from my research they are both 6.2 (re- digital)

I went the other route and ordered a batch of 25 of the Accumed strips lol. At $12 a box I can test daily and watch the line get darker. they are 25, so take longer to show up, but I can't wait to check!!!!

OK- I might run out and grab JUST ONE first response- The wait is so hard!!!

That's good to know!

I went and got a box of 3 FRER and three 88 cent cheapies last night! Haha! And I also have my digi. I took one of the FRERs last night and I can't REALLY tell for sure. So I'm not counting it out. I did notice (since I collect in a cup and dip the test) that my evening urine is darker than my morning urine. So I'll probably test with another tonight. Fingers crossed!!!! The wait is killing me!!!!

Good luck on your testing!!! I hope you get that beautiful second line SOON!!! Keep me posted and I'll update also! :-D

I'm going through these exact same things! The achy legs and lower back started today. Waiting is soooo hard but I'm going to try to hold off as long as possible also. Please keep me posted on how your test goes! Fingers crossed for obvious positives for all of us!
