Symtoms and negative test(s)?

[mamapigeon]

I'm having some early pregnancy symptoms like mild nausea and a full feeling in my uterus, but I'm testing negative... I haven't had a post-partum period yet, so I guess it could be that... I'm just wondering if pregnancy symptoms can show up before there are measurable levels of HCG in the urine?

DTD December 24th so I could be 3-4 weeks along

Thanks!

I am pregnant now and I'm 16 dpo.  I started getting possible symptoms early, around 6 or 7 dpo, but I didn't test positive until 12 dpo.  Some ladies don't get a positive result until 18 dpo or so.  Good luck!!!

I say yes. I could tell by my body changes that I was pregnant around 3 weeks. I took a urine test at my doctor's office and it was negative. I went back 10 days later to test again and it showed positive.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, mamaforever!

Thanks for the replies. I do think I've been testing too early, especially when I remember than I tested positive with DS when I was around 4w 2d. I've been trying to test at around 3 w, if I am pregnant, that is. I need to wait about a week, I guess.... I will of course share the news.

Thank you!

Good luck to you!!!!

Another negative test. I guess I must just be feeling my reproductive system turning back on.
