Neg Blood HCG Pregnancy Test 10 days late , where is my period?

[misssue74]

It is Jan 21 and my period is about 10 days late.  My last cycle started Dec. 13, 2005 and I was suppose to come on Jan 10.  Nothing has happened yet.  However, the nipple area on both of my breast hurt.  I have cramps and bloating as well as feeling tired and sick (On the weekends I usually go out but lately I am just to exhausted, I also have been going to bed very early).
At times I feel some type of discharge and think it is my period coming but its not.

I took a blood test on Thursday the 19th and the test came back negative - 5mIU/ml.  I don't know what is going on.  My cycle have been normal coming every 27-28 days and now nothing.  I am still going to see my gyn. on Wednesday Jan 25th.

I know that people say if you think you are pregnant you can think you feel symptoms but these are real.  And if I am not where is my normal period?  I am not on any medication right now.  I had been taking Tapazole for my thyroid but I stopped it when my period was late.  I have been taking it for months so I don't think it's the medication causing the problem because my cycles have been nomal.

I had unprotected sex Jan 1-3rd. Wouldn't my test be positive by now if I was pregnant?  What could it be if not pregnancy?

[cowgirlup96]

Stress can make you late on your menses as well as an std.  I am not sure if this is your partner or not.  I would guess stress.  Because you are thinking about it, it won't come.  Stop worrying and it may come.  But definately keep your appt with your gyn.  Also your thyroid meds can make you not have a period.  Especially if you have stopped it or it was not the right dose. Have you had your levels checked?
Good luck

[gorilla-keeper]

You may have just had an anovulatory cycle-- you didn't ovulate.  It's fairly common for women to have one or two months a year without ovulation, as it can be caused by stress, illness, medication, travel, strenuous exercise, weight gain/loss, etc.  Anyway, your body tries but for some reason doesn't succeed in ovulating-- it is ovulation (and the hormones that go with it) that causes you to have a period (af).  Basically, what happens is that your body prepares the uterine lining for an egg (which is never released- no ovulation), and it continues to grow until it can't support itself and then breakthrough bleeding finally occurs (not techinially menstruation).  Because your body may have tried to ovulate several times in this cycle, and then needs to wait until the lining "collapses", an anovulatory cycle typically is longer than your normal/regular cycle-- and of course, will give you a bfn on pregnancy tests.  If you don't get your af soon, your doctor can give you some meds to help bring it on and "reset" your cycle.
Good luck!!

Thank You for your help with your responses.
I have a question. What does bfn and af stand for?

Misssue

[Paulettehfx]

neg preg test and period.

If i were you I would retest, if you have the symptoms and you are regular, your body may be taking its time with the hcg to register. There is such a wide scope of exceptable hcg levels. I would retest and see where you are. Get a bata hcg too that will give you the level (quantitive) not a qualitive.. That will just give you yes or no.

[gorilla-keeper]

Paulette is right, you should also retest in a few days--just in case!  A friend of ours didn't get a + on her hpt until she was 8 weeks pregnant... I've heard of even some people never getting a + on their urine tests (although a blood test will show it).

AF= "aunt flo" your period.
BFN= "big fat negative" negative pregnancy test.

(There are a whole bunch of other abbreviations
regularly used on here...
hpt= home pregnancy test
ept= early pregnancy test
BFP= big fat positive (+ pregnancy test)
ttc= trying to conceive
pg= pregnant
dh= darling husband
dd= darling daughter
ds= darling son
etc.)

[misssue74]

Thank you for explaining all the abbr. to me.
I should have got the af because I always call mine auntie flow.

Thanks for all the advice too.

I understand completely, I am in the same boat and am so glad I found this forum!!!!

I have been going through fertility stuff (6 cycles of clomid and 6 IUI the last happening on Christmas day.) I was REALLY positive this time because the timing was perfect -- smack dab in the middle of ovulation, one follicle was gone, one still there at the time of insemination.

To date I don't have my period.  I have taken 9 (yes, 9) HPT and had one quantitative HcG on 1/13/06 (Friday the 13th of course) ALL NEGATIVE.  Still no period and some other symptoms are there as well, slight cramping, breast tenderness, etc.

According to my DR. there is NO WAY that I am pregnant and he wants me to take Provera to bring on a period and then start injectibles in the next cycle. I am not sure I am OK with this, any thoughts?  

Not counting on it, but hoping!!!

[alegge75]

I have a long history of infertility.  My husband and I have been together for 10 years (Jan 96) married for 9 (June 97).  We've been ttc for 8 years now.  He's been in the Navy since May 99, and we have had more tests and seen more doctors than we care to mention.  I have also had surgery (July 01) to unblock my fallopian tubes.  So that was 4 1/2 years ago - still no pregnancy.  

I am now 30 years old - and was at the point where I had let it go, given up, and was totally committed to living my life with just my husband and having no children - maybe adopting later.  As of today - I am 16 days late.  I've done 2 hpt, both were negative.  I just came home an hour ago from having a blood test done - also negative.  I am so furious right now that my body is doing this to me, when I had made the decision not to try anymore.  I've experienced a few symptoms: really tired all the time, and mild cramping - like I feel like I am going to start my cycle.. and then it never comes.  I am not under any unusual stress, and I have my cycles like clock work (28-32 days)  I should also probably mention - I ovulated on Dec 26th - I feel myself ovulate every month - also like clockwork.  

I wasn't ttc, and when I was 7 days late, I blew it off.  After 12 days of no AF, I took the 2 hpt's.. now today with a negative blood test.  How do I cope with this let down, yet again?  I am so angry and so hurt.  I am tired of going through this.  I was happy not going through this every month, and now I am back to feeling confused, hurt, and angry all over again.  How much disappointment can one person endure?  Please help!

[Maggie78]

I heart goes out to you.  I am in a similar boat.  On average AF pays a visit on the 29th day.  My last MS was 12/14 (4 days early) primarily because I had my CPE Exams for my Masters Degree.  AF should have visited on 1/11/2006.  It's now the 26th of the month, 3 (-)hCG later and still no resolve.  My fiance and I are hoping we are P, but I think I'll be devestated if Im not.   Has anyone had this?
Please Help
GOD BLESS

[misssue74]

AF came to visit me today.

[amy s]

hi, i am in a similar position with negative pregnancy tests. i am now 16 days overdue and HPTs are negative. however i have other factors including endometriosis ( diagnosed aug05). it isnt uncommon for me to go overdue, but not this far. while i am beginning to hold little hope that i am pregnant i will be going to the doctor if my period hasnt started in 4 days. my husband is hoping for the best as we have been trying for 18 months now. ill keep you'se posted if anything comes of it. as my mum keeps telling me, just dont think about it and it'll happen. (she tried for over 5 years before having my bro, then i followed 3 yrs after him) good luck to everone else, i hope it goes well.

[sonervous2006]

Hi- I had sex with a condom Dec 9, 2005. I heard a SNAP and was paranoid that it broke and i got pregnant. I had my period 10 days later, that lasted 5 days. My periods are usually between 3-5 days. Then I was still so nervous and when my next period was due it didn't come, as I was freaked out I was pregnant. So I took a urine test and it was negative. Then I took a blood test and it was less than 1 for BHCG. The day after I found out my results I got a 3 day period. But how come I am still so paranoid and nervous that I am pregnant? It is wreaking havoc in my life and I don't know what to do. Please help

thanks

[alegge75]

Well as always - My heart goes out to everyone ttc.  The day after my blood test - 17 days late, mind you - my little red corvette came and parked it's miserable butt in my garage for 4 days.  LOL  All I can do is laugh about it now.  The good news is.. Hubby and I decided to give it another go and try harder than we have ever before.  This means.. More doctors, more tests, and of course more heartache, until it finally happens.  I'm going to stay positive about this, no matter what happens this time.  Or at least die trying.  =)

I am not much of a message board person, but I will try to check back often and see how you all are doing.  I wish you all the best of luck!!  =)

[worried 86]

i am late! i have irregular periods. i am really worried i might be pregnant. i am only 19 yrs old and i am studying in a university. My last period was dec, 8, 2005 and today is feb 1 2006. I had sex on the third day of my last period. I had unprotected sex once that day but my boyfriend did not ejaculate in me but im scared because of the precum. I was in the shower when we did it so i washed off quickly. Then we had intercourse again that same day but we used a condom. I dont have any pregnancy symptoms and i went to a clinic last week for a test and it came out negative. It was just a urine test so i dont know how accurate it is . why is my period so late?

[maxilo]

Hello!

I wanted to see if anyone has experienced what I'm experiencing...

My period is at this point very regular.. It comes every month on the 28th or 29th... About 1mth ago my Fiancee & I had sex a few times & well of course theres a possibility that I could be pregnant.

Anyway so heres the situation... less than 2 wks before my period started I had 2 days of spotting (very very light), then on the 30th what seemed like my period started accept I had no cramping (which I normally have) & no other signs of menstration (except of course for the blood) sorry so graphic - anyways, so that lasted about 6 days (ended on 1/5/06 - 2days more than normal & the mentration (if thats what it was) was very much like it would normally be) now towards the end of my mens, I started peeing like a race horse (all the time lol) & feeling unrested for the past 2wks... I took liberty of taking 2 HPT one in the mid day & one the following morning - both came back NEG! so, what should I do? wait a few weeks & see what happens, its driving me insane because I feel preg (all the symptoms) & does it count I'm a A cup & dont fit my norm bra's right now but they dont really hurt, they are just a little uncomfortable when I sleep & stuff...

Any help would do

THANKS,

[TattooedGirl]

Well my period is 10 days late. And me and my guy friend (hes not even my boyfriend) have been sleeping together for almost a year and use a condom EVERY single time. And last april i guess the condom ripped and i got pregnant and ended up having an abortion. But now my period is late, i have had cramps for almost 2 weeks and AF is still not coming. I havent been stressed, i havent been dieting any different and i have no idea what is going on.

I am way to scared to get a pregnancy test and i will also be pissed if i get one and then the next day or so, i get AF. what should i do?

[Mel3]

How do you feel about the abortion? Did this affect you? The very fact that you did this and you still continued the same behaviour worries me. I hope one day you find healing for your actions, because I dont think you should truly believe that deep down this doesn't affect you... May God be with you.

[bookead]

My husband and I have been ttc for about a year now, not using any protection. I am 11 days late for my period and have had two neg tests.

I show all the symptoms of pg but still neg test.

I can usually count on my period every 26 days exactly but nothing. I am worried about this.  Should I still see a doctor about a blood test?

[short thing]

Hello PLease help.
My husband and i have been ttc for only 4 months. not long i know.
My cycles are normally really on time. Perfect, as no accidents.
I'm 2 days late for my period and have taken 2 tests both negative, i have no other feelings really. I'm not any more tired than usual, i guess maybe more emotional than normal as i cried at the x factor, which i don't normally do!!!
What should i do?
ANy ideas please would be great. getting a little concerned as to what is happening in my body.
Thanks for listening.
Short Thing

[farhat]

Dear

2 days is a little early to know whether you are pregnant or not. I am 17 days late and have had 2 negative hpt and 1 negative blood test. The doctor told me that a urine test might not be able to detect early pregnancy. My suggestion is to wait. I know it can be nerve wrecking. You can try an b-hcg (blood test) it can detect even a one day pregnancy but dont be disappointed if that is negative. Good luck and baby dust to you.

[nkay]

17 days late without af. did a test at drs on 08th jan and it came out -ve, did another on 12 jan came out -ve. I got cramps and i often think am in but there is just water. Am i pg. I did a thump in ma clothes. help. kay

[blue_sapphires]

hello evryone. I'm new at this. I'm sitting here reading all of these messages and i'm kinda of shock. Now im like ok there's really nothing wrong wit me then. I am exactly 12 days late, i am not irregular except i never used to keep track of my period as what day it comes, i just am aware if it comes on the beginning, middle or the end of the month. But here recently my period has been doing some crazy stuff. I had a period the end of November, none in December, then again January 7, but nothing so far this month. i took a pregnancy test the 14th of this month, but it was negative. I am also cramping every other day too as if my period is coming but no-show. i also do want to get pregnant but i am late, i have no symptoms of pregancy so i know for sure that i'm not pregnant. i have an appointment with the ob/gyn this friday, so i will get a blood test done...if this comes up negative...then what else could it be...i don't think im stressed about anything

[emms183]

I am 22 and am 7 days late today,  I took a pregnancy test when I was 2 days late and It came up neg -,  my partner and I are trying to concieve,  what should I do now is there still a chance I could be pregnant?  Please help

[eyebehave]

I am so happy to see this forum and to know I am not alone.

My period was due 4 April (LMP March 7) and so now I am 4 days overdue.  We were told by many that people don't usually get pregnant on the first try, so we decided to try a couple months in advance of when we actually thought we'd get pregnant.

I totally thought my body was playing with my brain after the FIRST WEEK after ovulation because I experienced several abnormal events.  For example, I got a few cramps (I never get cramps, always low back pain with my period), constantly urinating, a VERY watery discharge (left yellowish border on pantiliner), my breasts became fuller, and I felt constipated.  I had a headache one day and got really hot (then cold), and felt just a bit 'out of it' or 'woosy'.  I NEVER had any nausea or cravings though.  My dh said I was a bit moody, but I think that my reasonings were justified (so I guess that one is arguable).  I just kept telling myself that it was all in my head...but then no period.

We have taken a hpt (early detecting ones) every day in the morning for the last 4 days.  All negative.  Today I got a blood test - NEG!  How can I not have a period?!  I'm so consistant...I've NEVER missed a period.  I might be late a day (or two), but NEVER 4 days.  Actually my cycle is usually shorter than that anyways.

Weird thing is...now all my symptoms have gone away...for my period OR a pregnancy.  All except for my breasts are full, nipples slightly sensitive, and constipated with gas.

I guess my question is SURELY after this long, the egg would have had to implant...right?!  There really is no way I could be pregnant now after the blood test was negative.  Does that happen?  Can you be pregnant with a neg blood test?  How many women does this happen?

[erica275]

i have had all the same sympoms as you, i have been trying for a baby for 14 months with no luck i am 4 days late and went for a scan yesterday and all i heard was my folicle had collapsed? i have cramps and my breasts have got bigger but not tender really like they normally are.

i am scared to do a test because we both want a baby so much, how tough is it having to go through this hurt and upset every month

good luck to you x

[lilmiss223]

Which was great since i bleed almost the whole way though and felt just plan bad. Now once again  My breasts hurt, they feel heavy and i just plan feel pregnate.

[cian1991ferrari]

Hi, my girlfriend and i are both 17 and we have been having sex since november of 2007. We both felt ready for it and have been oh so careful every time. Usually i do not ejaculate during sex even with the condom on for safety. however, one of the last times we had sex i did ejaculate but was wearing a condom. We are always very safe and never even consider without a condom. We are both worried due to her period being around 10 days late at this time and she is beginning to get stressed etc. Can anyone please give me some help on this matter?

[tassyniyas]

[danda22]

I want more than anything to be pregnant!  My husband and I have been trying for a long time (5 years) still no luck.  I know the easiest thing id to get him tested, but he doesn't want to I don't thik he knows the negative affect this is having on me, and now I sit here on wed. took and hpt last night was negative, but my af has not should her face except for a little spots here and there which is not normal for me I'm pretty regular and once she comes to visit she stays and then leaves so...she made a quick stop on sat. and then on mon. and now nothing, but my boob are sore.  I'm so lost and confused.

[Wick1982]

It looks like a late period is a really common occurence for us ladies. I am 9 days late today. I came off the pill in Feb and my husb and i have been ttc since. My periods are every 47 days (which means i have only had 3 periods since coming off the pill) and this would be my 4th. In the week prior to when my af should have been i had cramps which appeared worse when i sat down, these cramps continued for about 8 days. I've been so tired, feeling sick every now and then, head aches, dizzy, really greasy t zone, bb's aren't necessarily sore but my nipples always seem to be erect which is weird for me and are sometimes a deep purple colour...yet still i took at hpt last Thursday @ 4 days late and it was neg. Too scared to do another in case its neg again and don't want to bother the dr's just yet. A couple of days ago i got a couple of spots on my chin which is usually a sign that i am due on but still nothing, my stomach feels quite heavy as though something is pulling it down. Pregnancy symptoms are so similar to pre mens symptoms that i'm begining to think that i am making it all up in my head!! Any advice from anyone out there? I have my fingers crossed for us all x

[mummy26062]

i went through the same thing i was 12 days late took 3 pregnancy test and all negative but i had a strong feeling i was pregnant i thought it was all in my head i felt sick all the tym my boobs were sore i had period like pains but anyways i done 2 test today and has come up positive i new i was right

[krystin87]

          As are most of us here, I have taken 3 HPTs and got BFN on all of them. I am late to start my period 7 days now. I was supposed to start on the October 28, and the first day of my last period was September 30th. I cramped the night before and the day of - but nothing happened. I am not experiencing morning sickness, dizziness, or breast tenderness...but I didn't experience the symptoms with any of my previous pregnancies either. Nor have any of my periods ever been the random. Fatigue is more than normal, and I do have a discharge.
          (I have had 3 failed pregnancies and one successful one that resulted in a beautiful rambunction little girl, two years ago). I have not been on birth control since April 2009. I had unprotected sex on October 11th and 15th. I have an appt. with my gyno., this coming Monday. Hopefully she will be able to tell me what is going on.
