Answer
Hi Michelle,

You may very well be pregnant and it was too early for the test to pick up. Your period isnt even late yet... those tests work by picking up HcG (human chorionic Gonadotropin) in your urine. This is produced by the pregnancy... your HcG level doubles just about every other day; and most home tests pick up HcG about a level of 100. In erly prgnancy this level is just too low for a home test to pick up. Hence the negative. Give it more time and you may be surprised to see a positive.

Thanks for sending me the link to the Ovulex. Personally I would not mess with it; what does your doctor say? They do not say what botanicals are in the pills... I try to stay away from those type of pills, they have them for just about every problem , womens issues, obesity, memory problems... they all claim the same thing, that they are soon to be made prescription and thus very expensive... etc etc.. I do believe in herbal remedies and such but something that messes with ovulation? I dont know. It makes me a little nervous.

I know you must be very frustrated with trying to get pregnant and having nothing happening, but you could very well be pregnant this time around. Just because your breasts are not swollen does not mean you are not pregnant. Every pregnancy is different and your body will react to the hormones diferently each time. Just give it a little more time! I now waiting to test is stressful; hang in there.

If you arent pregnant this month please do not give up. Many doctors will tell you that trying for at least a year and not getting pregnant is NORMAL. Some couples just need a little more time. SO you are well within the normal range for fertility!

good luck. I hope you get your positive soon!
