I'm about 12-13 days past ovulation and a possible conception. I tested yesterday and it was negative. My cycle is due in about 6 days. Is it still too early? I've had sore breast and really frequent headaches for about a week which is abnormal for me. I'm trying to wait another 3 days before I test again but I'm really anxious to find out because I really don't know how I feel about a pregnancy right now. My 1st is almost 7 and I want another just not sure if the timing is right.
Well guys I'm definitely pregnant. I tested 2 days before my period and it was negative. The day my cycle was supposed to start I felt really "off" so I tested again. It was faint but positive. I tested several more times to confirm and the line only got darker. I was in shock at first but now I'm excited about this new chapter
Wait till after you expect your next period and then test again.
If you are pregnant, you've barely had time for implantation to occur - so you're not going to get much in the way of an accurate answer for awhile yet.
Give it a few weeks before you test again.
If you are 13 days past ovulation, which usually occurs around day 14, that's 27 days. If your period isn't due for 6 more, that's a 33 day cycle, which is on the long side. So you don't really know where your ovulation occurs, do you? Unless you took your temp or used other objective measures of ovulation time, you could be off on that by 6 days. So, pregnant or not, your test is likely to be negative at this juncture.
If you're used a bargain store pregnancy test, it could be less accurate or old/expired. Double check on that.
I understand why you really don't want to wait to find out - there is a lot of emotion going on. But if you test again and it's negative, what does that tell you? That you're not pregnant, or that it's too early? I'm not sure the answer is going to tell you anything to relieve your anxiety. Constant testing is just going to be an expense right now. If your doctor will see you early in the week for a blood test even before a missed period (given that you have some unusual symptoms), that's going to be more accurate.
In the meantime, follow the advice that women's health counselors always give during this "limbo" time: assume you are not pregnant and use contraception, and assume that you are pregnant and avoid alcohol and other things you shouldn't be imbibing.
I hope you get an answer soon.

Welcome to mamapedia!!
I would wait until AFTER my period was due before I tested.
You can be talking yourself into a hysterical pregnancy with all the symptoms you are having. Stop. Breathe.
Testing in 3 days isn't going to tell you anything different. Just wait until after your period - like 2 to 3 days AFTER it's due.
I don't know how old you are. Don't know your family history. Could be all sorts of things going on - hormones running W..
I'm going to be a bit against the grain here and say that you are not at all testing too early. If you are truly 12-13 DPO, then you have a very high chance of seeing a + pregnancy test. Which ones are you using? The dollar store ones are very inexpensive and the most sensitive you can get.
go to www.peeonastick.com and they have the best info about pregnancy tests if you want to keep busy until the next time you can test ;)
I hope you get the outcome you want!!
