the pregnancy test was negative

Negative like a cathedral (which is a saying here for something that cannot possibly be confused for anything else). I know that i said i wasn't going to test until thursday (rag due wednesday) but i broke down because the last three days i have been feeling pukey, especially in the mornings. I thought if i have enough hormones to be pukey i should have enough hormones to check positive.
So now the question is why am i feeling pukey?
could the test be wrong?
My mom said she would send me more of the fabrics that i liked best so i think i'll ask her to add those cheap-oh pregnancy tests to the state side order box.

if you haven't missed your period yet the test could miss really low levels of HGH (is that what it's called??). wait until thursday and take it first thing in the morning when you wake up-- that's when the hormone levels will be the highest in your pee.

my best friend got a bunch of false negatives back last month when she got pregnant, including a false negative in her doctor's office! hang in there, mm, even if you're not pregnant right now, you will be soon!!

When I took an early test it came back negative, with all three. I had to actually wait a day or two after my period was due before I got a positive.

Ditto. My "early" pregnancy test wasn't positive until the day after I missed my period.
