Hi All, Can I add a question to this? I have been perpetually disheartened by negative tests as well. Being not so wise, I just continue to test like a mad woman :-). Not only is it wreaking havok on my emotions, but on my checkbook as well. What I've run into and is really bothering me is the day after I should have expected a period, I tested. It came back clearly positive. I was so excited because I had felt pregnant for about a week already and couldn't wait for the test to confirm what I'd already thought. My hubby wanted me to retest to be sure, so we took another test the next day and it was totally negative. I still have all the symptoms and am loosing my mind. So... I can relate :-). Ever have any of this weird stuff happen to you?
