i have been trying for a baby for 8 months and my periods are ALWAYS on time, i am now 6 days late for my period and really do feel pregnant, i dont have sore boobs but i am feeling very sick and really tired all of a sudden! i have taken 6 home pregnancy tests so far and all have come back negative! i have been taking them since 4 days before my period was due and took the last one last night! i am thinking about going to a family planning clinic to see if their test will show i’m pregnant but am worried that if it’s a urine test it wont pick it up! does anyone know if their tests are any better than home tests? also is discharge a sign of pregnancy? i have been having some white discharge lately, it doesn’t smell but thought it might be connected to pregnancy? any help would be much appreciated! thanks

Sorry this is long. Last month, on cycle day 28, took a FRER positive with first morning urine-faint but there. Next night on a whim I got some cheap tests I bought off internet- On a whim I took one that evening-so I wasn’t shocked it came out negative. But, the next day I started what felt like a full on period. Called to cancel later appt with OB, office staff said come in for u/s which looked like nothing there and they checked hcg in blood which was zero.
Fast forward to this month-my cycle varies but typically about 25 days so I took dip test on cycle day 26 got faint positive. Saturday and Sunday clear positive. I was still nervous from last month so I told my husband to get a digital so of course he gets a plus minus one instead, that too positive, In the meantime, I was sick and went to regular doctor. She ran a urine test for me and said definitely positive, Took an hcg blood to send off.
Called today and said you are good to go, call your OB. I come in and they say your tests were just weird. Qualitative was positive, but quantitive was 2.1 -there was an "A" flag by qualitiative which key said was abnormal. My OB drew more blood and chastised me for testing "too early." I told her Monday at the dr’s was cycle day 29!! She told me it could be chemical or and cheap tests can mistake LH (ovulation hormone) for hcg-. She also said I might be chemical pregnancy prone due to short luteal phase.
She drew more blood and said if hcg went up, they’d test again Monday, if the lab was wrong and its much higher I am o.k., if its still low and no period she’s going to give me a drug to induce a period cause its not a viable pregnancy. She also discussed progesterone therapy or giving me a drug to induce ovulation because she said that a short cycle could be inovulatory. But, she said to use first morning urine with opk’s and count ay color change as positive for ovulation. I told her I bought one and it said to use midday urine after holding urine and she insisted that was wrong. On a whim I took to urine tests I already had at 6p.m., both came up positive very quickly with a very dark line. I know for a fact the month before my son was conceived my cycle was exactly 26 days!
I know only the tests can tell me what’s going on-I just have questions about whether or not her advice sounds kosher-its going to be probably 5 p.m. tommorow when 2nd hcg from different lab drawn today comes back.
The OB called today and sadi she thinks lab#1 was wrong, my hcg was 350. She is starting me on promethium to help support the pregnancy. Please keep me in your prayers!

A friend of mine was fired for testing + on a urine test for Nandrolone metabolites (Deca). He turned in his very legal prescriptions before his test, yet the company still fired him for going against their Drug & Abuse policy. How can this happen?
