Hi,I have a 28-33 day cycle.Today is my 33rd day.My BBT was high (98.86) today and also for the past 1 week.I didn't check my BBT before that.
I have been having sore breasts for more than a week now which I rarely have before my periods and it won't last for more than 2-3 days.
I am urinating frequently and I passed loose stool for 5-6 times yesterday.But my stool is normal today.
I have a different sensation in my tongue.
I took a HPT today and it came out negative.I didn't take the first morning urine though.I took the test 2-3 hrs after I urinated first in the morning.
Is this too early to test?I am eagerly waiting for the good news that I am pregnant.
I think I didn't ovulate late because my cervical mucus was excessive sometime in the middle of my cycle.I didn't note the date though..

It is very important that you take the HPT using first morning urine as it has the highest concentration of the pregnancy hormone hCG. If you are pregnant and you took it 2 - 3 hours after first morning urination, most likely there was not enough hCG to show as a positive result.

Are these symptoms of pregnancy?

It took awhile for my pregnancy test to show positive with me. It might just be a bit early. Also, different pregnancy tests detect different amounts of pregnancy hormones. You can Google it to get a listing of the most sensitive pregnancy tests. But yeah, also definitely first morning urine is best! Good luck! :-)
