My husband and I are trying to conceive. My last period was Sept. 2 and I ovulated on Sept. 7 (took an ovulation test).
I took a pregnancy test today Sept. 20 and it was negative, is it to early to detect with a home pregnancy test? I am expecting my next period Sept. 28.

Dear Libby,
Yes, most urine based home pregnancy tests (and even many blood based pregnancy tests) aren’t sensitive enough to detect hCG (the pregnancy hormone) in the early weeks. I’ve found that it’s best, regardless of what many of the HPT boxes say, to wait until the day your next expected period would have ended before taking an HPT. In your case, if your period doesn’t come, then I would recommend taking another pregnancy test on October 5, first thing in the morning. If that one comes back negative, you could always take one more on October 12.
Best luck,
Hannah

I had my first day period on sept 2nd as well and went off the 7th but right after my husband and i were together after it went off and that sunday i starting feeling worried and been cramping for almost two weeks off and on like my period was coming on. I’ve been having lightheaded and feeling kind of sick to the stomach and mood swings. I tested sept 24th and it came back negative. My period doesnt come on until the 30th of sept, What could this mean?
