Pregnancy symptoms but negative tests?
I am 8 days late for my period. This is my first month off of nuvaring and in the past have had a normal cycle for the first month after going off birth control after that my cycle is very irregular 30-90 days between. I have had breast tenderness and had cramping with extremely mild staining last week when I otherwise should have been on my period – staining amounted to very little red blood coloredness in my mucus upon wiping. I have had four negative tests in the last 5 days, however symptoms persist – breast tenderness and cramping off and on. I should add that I am not trying to concieve as my husband had a vasectomy the end of last week and I went off nuvaring one month early because I have had difficulty in the past getting pregnant, don’t have sex often, twice this month – once early on, once later 11 days ago – , required clomid for both of my pregnancies – if this ain’t karma, I don’t know what is! I have read that I should wait at least 19 days after last sex before expecting a reliable test answer, however the anxiety is killing me! Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated – while I’m not trying to get pregnant it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I was, it’s just the waiting to know which way I am sux!

Unfortunately the breast tenderness and cramping alone aren’t a tell tale sign. The hormones in the Nuva ring could be messing up
It sounds possible, but it is hard to say. Unfortunately no one on here will be able to tell you yes or no. I would wait a few more days (probably about a week) and retest then. Good luck!
