Late..

Ok so I'm almost 4 days late and I took a test and its negative. I took a test the day I should have had AF and it was a faint positive. What's going on here? I'm guessing this month is out? Has this ever happened to anyone?

You most likely just ovulated later than normal. Keeping testing once a week until AF shows up or you get a +. GL!

ETA: Reading fail. I missed the whole you already got a + part. Just ignore me.

I think you're saying that the first test you took was positive and the second was negative?  Could be a CP.  No way to really know for sure.  Keep testing once a week till you get a positive or AF.  If you get to CD60 with neither, then call your Dr.

If it was pink dye you most likely had a CP.
If it was blue dye it was probably a false positive.

You probably ovulated later than normal, pushing AF back.  The standard is if you go 60 days with no AF or +HPT, call your doctor.  Also, you're not out until AF shows.

What kind of test did you take when you got your faint +?

It was FRER according to her first post. Frustrating OP but follow advice above and GL.

OP, did you get your positive within the time frame they state on the instructions? Some times you can get what is known as an evaporation line if you read an old test. Was it very faint or did the line have no color?

Sorry you are going through this confusion.

Yes I looked at the test within the time frame, it was very faint. I've been using the first response test with the pink dye.

I apologize, Sully. I was just going off of what I've read and learned from more experienced posters.

Op, I did not in any way mean to jump right to worst case senario and I do apologize. PP's are right, there are many other factors such as time frame.
I wish you the best.

B&GMcCracken:
Yes I looked at the test within the time frame, it was very faint. I've been using the first response test with the pink dye.

There's a couple scenarios here,

Sometimes a fertilized egg might implant for a short time, your body starts producing hCG and you get a positive test but something happens and the pregnancy doesn't take which makes your hCG fall and your period start. This would be considered a chemical pregnancy.

Another possibility is that the tests could have varying sensitivities within the same brand and maybe your urine was too diluted to produce a positive test (I hope this is the scenario for you). If tomorrow comes and you are still getting negatives but still haven't got your period I would call your doctor and ask them what you should do/what they think.

A blood test might be appropriate here because it can tell your doctor exactly how much hCG is in your system.

Good luck and sorry again that you are dealing with this mind game :(

Did you take this last test with your FMU?

The first time I took the test, was the day I should have gotten AF I took it first thing in the morning. Saw a faint positive. Although I kept telling myself it was still early. Today I took the test at almost 6pm so maybe my urine was too diluted? Hoping that's he case. We'll see how the rest of the week goes to see if AF will make an appearance or not.. Thanks for all the advice!

This = Legitimate Question!

 

Chancie gave you some great advice. Sorry you have to deal with the mind fluck of getting a positive followed by a negative.

ETA - Your urine could be diluted. Test again with first morning urine! Good luck.

I suggest taking a test with FMU (first morning urine) tomorrow. FMU is more concentrated and if pregnant should exhibit a higher concentration of hCG which may explain your conflicting results.

Definitely re-test with FMU. Or, if you have any internet cheapies or the like, wait at least 3 hours and hold off on drinking a lot of liquid.

Good luck!

I agree with PPs about testing tomorrow with FMU. I'm sorry you are going through the mind fluck of getting a negative after a positive. I really just hope your urine from later in the day was just too diluted. Definitely update and let us know the result!
