If your periods are normally irregular, then that's likely what's going on. But, false negatives do happen, more often than people realize.
Try another hpt. Follow the instructions exactly (many times someone gets a false negative because they didn't take the test properly). If it's negative again then wait until your next period is due. If you miss that one as well, then try another test. Why are you afraid to take a blood test? |

Some women do not register pregnant on a HPT right away. Seeing as you are irregular often though, maybe you should wait another week or two and retest or see if your period comes along. If you are more than a month late, or if you are too concerned to wait, call the doctor. Are you scared to find that you are pregnant, or scared that you are not? If pregnancy is not something you are wanting at this time, maybe discuss birth control with your doctor to help regulate your period as well as providing peace of mind for you and your husband until you are ready for a pregnancy. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that iiQra... how long have you and your husband been trying? I know it can be discouraging when it doesn't happen as quickly as you would like it to. Most couples will become pregnant in the first year of actively trying, but some will find it takes a bit longer than that.
With irregular cycles it can be more difficult. Have you discussed with your doctor ways to maybe regulate your cycles? That might be something to consider doing. You may have fewer opportunities to become pregnant since odds are you are not ovulating on a regular basis either. How irregular are your cycles? Do you have them each month or so but just a different number of days in each cycle? Such as 28 days apart one time, and 38 days another? If so, what is your shortest cycle and what is your longest? Or are you having just several a year? Some ways you can check for possible ovulation would be to try temping and charting... BBT (Basal Body Temperature) You can purchase thermometers designed for this that will also provide the graphs and you can also get some online. It takes a few months, but you might notice a pattern as to when you are likely ovulating. This method is very effective for some women but can be frustrating for others. You can also watch for changes in your cervical mucus. Usually after a period, there will be little mucus present and it will be thicker. When your body prepares for ovulation, the cervical mucus will become more fluid and clear. This allows the sperm to survive a few days prior to ovulation. Some women also find checking the position of their cervix helps them. After your period, it will usually be easily felt and will be closed and firm to the touch. Close to ovulation it will shift higher, be more difficult to reach, and will feel softer. Not everyone is comfortable checking their cervix, but it is one other way to determine when ovulation might be close. Using ovulation predictor tests can work well for some women too. With irregular cycles, however, it can get a bit expensive since you would need to use the tests more frequently. It is important to read the directions carefully to be sure that they are used correctly. None of these, however, will tell you that you are indeed ovulating, only that your body has prepared for it. Another way to cover the timing would be if you and your husband were able to have sex every 2-3 days throughout each cycle. For most couples every day is fine, but about every other day would usually be sufficient. Keep in mind, that even with good timing, pregnancy can take many months to achieve as timing is only part of it. First step, I would see your gyn to discuss your trying to become pregnant and the irregular cycles. |
