writes:Me and my husband have been having intercourse and only used a condom for protection. My period is now 5 days late. And its never late unless i'm pregnant. I am tired, i have sore boobs, and a few other pregnancy symptoms i remember from previous pregnancies. But i keep having negative tests. Is it possible i dont have enough HCG levels in my urine yet to pick the pregnancy up or has my period just gone on holiday? How many false negatives did you have before you got your positive?

I'd go with visiting the doctor, sooner you have the test the better.

I'm not a doctor and being a male, I've never been pregnant, so there might be other responses on here that are more useful. However, it does sound like you're pregnant, even I have to say. There's only one way to be sure and that's to go to the doctor. However, if he says that you're not pregnant, it might be worth seeing if you have an allergy to latex condoms? Either way, go to the doctor. Lots of luck. x

I hate to say that it sounds very much like you could be. But there could be something else going on. Good luck!

 You asked: "How many false negatives did you have before you got your positive?"
Depends on so many things, however you will NEVER get a positive unless you are pregnant ( or it is a false positive) It can also be the type of test you are using. I would suggest you go to your doctor and have a blood test to confirm/deny pregnancy and the put your mind at ease.
Condoms are "only" 80% safe on average - the pill is 99% - so I would suggest you start being on the pill AND keep using condoms. That way you will be a lot safer from pregnancies.
I hope it turns out the way you want it too.
Good luck.
