A negative test could also be the result of a phantom pregnancy. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant; it is al psychological Some women have even been able to lactate during a phantom pregnacny. The causes of a phantom pregnancy are either paranoia of being pregnant or having an extreme desire to become pregnant. There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc To ensure the best results: Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

Could i be pregnant feel very pregnant i have 4 kids already but i am having periods and negative pregnancy tests i feel sick all the time and feel very pregnant anyone had the same?

Well you should consult a doctor preferably an obgyn to either confirm of deny the pregnancy. Also you may want to watch i didnt know i was pregnant on TLC. The obgyn can confirm the pregnancy as where there have been many cases of the best pregnancy test coming back as a "False Negative" and so the only 100% reliable way to know if your pregnant is to consult your obgyn or consult a doctor if you need to urgently no but until you confirm or deny the pregnancy dont drink, smoke, or do drugs please!!
