Can you have pregnancy symptoms before a positive pregnancy test result?
Question Posted Sunday September 9 2012, 9:55 am
My periods normally run about 40 days apart, but i noticed that i haven't had a period since mid july. I have had unprotected sex several times since then. Also, in the past week, i have had some symptoms, extremely sore breasts and swollen nipples, heartburn, bad cramping, metallic taste, to name a few. Worse than regular pms. So i took a test, the first appeared negative but when i looked at it again after about an hour it had a dark positive line. I took 2 more, one looks like it has a very faint positive and the third looks to be negative.
Im just so confused, can it be possible to get a positive and a negative after? Or have symptoms before a positive test?

Recently I was getting symptoms of pregnancy, morning illness, tender breasts, repulsion to certain foods, and this went on for a couple of weeks. I took a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. So I thought nothing of it, believing perhaps it was my period coming, and that perhaps I was just getting symptoms of "PMDD". A couple weeks later, it never came, I took another one, and a positive result. Went to the doctors for a proper confirmation, (blood test) and yes, turns out I am pregnant. So, if your period does not show up when it should, or if it's already late, give it another week, and try again. Remember to take it with your first bathroom break, as most tests indicate that's when the HGC hormone is most strongest. [ Rena-Chan's advice column | Ask Rena-Chan A Question ]
