Preg Test - False Negative at 15DPO?

Firstly, I'm not TTC ... that's quite possibly the last thing on my mind, I have so much going on atm that I'd be in a right pickle if i was. Theres Only one night in question and that was three weeks ago now -

I went to family planning on Mon - which was a couple days after period was due, and roughly 15days after our 'oopsie'. The test said neg but the Dr there told me to come back in a week to re-test if my period still hasn't come because apparently 14-15dpo is the BARE MINIMUM that these tests pick up accurate results- the way she said this made me wonder, can a person go weeks without it being picked up?

It's now a week late, the ONLY time my period has ever been late was when i was preg with DS and i seriously don't feel like it's coming. For a couple nights there i had bleeding gums when i brushed my teeth (have never had that before) and my boobs are sore, wouldn't say tender or swollen ...just out of sorts.

With him I tested the day of my missed period and the line came up almost instantly, is it true that you can still test negative for weeks after your period is due? What should I do...I'm in a bit of a state of panic.

ETA: should add that it wasn't just a random one night stand, I am with someone, have been for a couple months now and he'd be 100% supportive if i was, that I can guarantee. Still not the right time or circumstances though.

My AF is as regular as clockwork and always has been ever since I first got it however the last 2 cycles Its been late yet I'm not preggers

Ok think I might get him to go get one, he keeps offering and I keep saying no because I hate the idea of wasting money should we keep getting negative results (plus part of me really isn't ready for that kind of news) *sigh*.

If this next one comes back negative should I take it my period is just late for whatever reason?

A discover test is even more sensitive but they are more expensive and only avaliable from Radius chemists.

I got my line on a discover test at 10DPO and I have heard of them showing up as early as 8DPO as they work 4 days before period is due.

Good luck, I hope you get the result you want, whatever that may be

I guess that would be possible too MB but I think her symptoms would have gone as well. Don't mmc'd this early just get reabsorbed by the body. I think an HPT is in order BB... and I don't think that's what's happening to you MB

Hi there - I just thought I should mention that my AF was like clockwork every 28 - 30 days but the first time DP and I were "intimate" we didn't use protection and of course I was then a week late, but I wasn't UTD. I think I was just so worried that I might be that I sort of talked myself into it. Once I tested and got a BFN AF only took a couple of days to show. I know it's easier said than done but maybe if you try and relax and distract yourself with other things AF will decide you're no fun to tease anymore

FX you get the result you want :)

Well I didn't get a BFP with Jake til just over 7 weeks in and I was definitely pregnant sooooo it can happen!

I'm glad your other half would be supportive if it was a BFP though hun!!

OMG - this has been happening to me also. Sorry to hijack your thread!

My AF has been great, always on time. But now I am 4 days over and am starting to get a wee bit panicky!! I have been having strange sensations in my uterus and also having sore boobs!

DH and I have talked about not having anymore children, fingers crossed something happens soon.

I have been waiting for this update. I hope whatever the outcome babe you can make it work.

Sorry for not updating sooner, busy busy here! Just found out we got accepted for a rental property today ...after THREE months of searching and disappointment after disappointment - AND my period arrived this morning too so smiles all around here.

Sounds horrible being happy but it's totally not the right time, I want to wait till at least another year or two and preferably until I'm married and do it properly second time around. Least to say the topic of sex hasn't even been brought up again sex, abstinence here!

Thanks for all your replies
