Hello everyone, so I don’t know if I’m just anxious from this 2ww, but I’ve taken numerous dollar store tests over the last week, all negative.

So, I decided to look at the reviews after purchasing 2 more & a first response. Come to find out, almost all reviews in the last 7 months claim false negatives & some reviews even go as far as claiming the lot # & barcodes don’t match from the test to the box.

Needless to say, I’m feeling like COVID messes with whoever was manufacturing the tests before and now they are being manufactured by somebody new, as not only are there a tremendous amount of terrible reviews, but the packaging is changed as well.

At this point, google is typing for me, because all I do is google pregnancy tests, symptoms, possible due date, all the usual nonsense. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking as this is 3 months TTC now, but the negatives feel like a gut punch, I have 4 other children, and my husband has 2, none in common, so we’re really trying to complete our family & have a baby of our own in addition to our already amazing family.

I’ve had heartburn, nausea irregularly (no specific triggers), frequent urination, and my urine almost looks orange, CM is white, heavy & consistent, Ive been running a cold since Friday, hot flashes, but that could be from the cold, I feel pressure in my stomach but not like I have to pee, just a heavier feeling than normally, and my nipple piercings are hard to twist/turn & hurt when I barely touch them, I feel like my rings have suddenly become too small for my nipples and I’ve had them in for a while with no issue.

Please give me answers, test recommendations, words of advice, encouragement, anything. I think just need somebody to let me know I’m not overthinking these symptoms. ❤️ TIA !!
