Is is likely to get a negative pregnancy test 4 days before missed period and still be pregnant?

Question

I want to get pregnant more than anything and I have one more test and I’m trying to figure out if I should test again. It’s been two days since I tested negative so now there’s two days until my period.

Answer

I can't find the picture someone posted a while ago but this is similar. *explanation is different to picture.

Say you had a 32 day cycle and ovulated on cd19, if you implanted at 12dpo then that would put you at cd31. Your period would be due in 2 days. Then if your hcg took 72 hours to double instead of 48, and you started with an hcg level of 1 (on cd31), and your period didn't start, then it would go as follows:
Cd31 = 1 hcg
Cd34 = 2 hcg
Cd37 = 4 hcg
Cd40 = 8 hcg (debatably picked up by frer)
Cd43 = 16 hcg
Cd46 = 32 hcg (picked up by normal 25miu test)
If it followed this pattern then you wouldn't get a positive, even on a frer until af was around 7-8 days late minimum. It doesn't work like this for everyone but it is possible as it all depends on ovulation timing PLUS implantation timing PLUS hcg rate of increase which is different for everyone. My advice would be to hold out as long as you can to test. Good luck and fingers crossed for you!

I didn’t get my first positive until I was late for my period. There’s still a Chance!

Answer

Same here :(

Answer

Maybe depends on the sensitivity of test and when you ovulayed. But in my own experience with both my boys I had clear positives 5 days before my period due. The times I thought I may be pregnant but had negatives 4 days before period I was never actually pregnant.
