Question:
I was wondering, if you´re having a lot of pregnancy symptoms, and the hormones are high enough to give you those, shouldn´t it also be high enough to give you a positive pregnancy test? Or can you have very sore breasts, fatigue like you wouldn´t believe, nausea, cramps and more and the hormone still be to low to get you a positive pregnancy test?

Answer:
Looking at your previous question: I think some of the tests do fade so I would think you're pregnant if you got any sort of +ve. However: in the 5 months we tried for #2 I felt so sick most end of months that I thought I was every time-and I felt tired. I think I managed to convince myself that I ought to be having the symptoms, so I'd put less thought on the symptoms you have. the only symptom I had this time which I hadn't had the previous times was constipation-obviously you can't get psycological constipation? Yes, I´ve been there too, imagining signs, but never as strong and as many as now, since I have them all :-) I took a test yesterday and no line then, not after many hours even, but today I took one (in the middle of the day), no line, but 3 hours later, a line? Try first thing in the morning-you shouldn't have been to the loo for about 4 hours it says on my test. Have you a regular cycle or are you guessing when you're ovulating/due? I think the three hours later line sounds like an evaporation line to me, you have to read it fairly quickly. But some people get negative results until way into their pregnancy, so it doesn't mean you're not. I got a -ve result at 12 dpo, but made myself wait (my test came in a packet of 2) until 15dpo (by my reckoning) and then got a +ve.
