Late Period Pregnancy Test Negative

[kimmycup]

Hi.  I have been off b/c since April  and started to calculate my cycle.  After a few months, it looks as if I was on a 35-day cycle.  So, 35 days would have been July 12th, as of today, July 15th, I still do not have it.  I am 4 days late.  I did take a pregnancy test and it was negative.  Should I be concerned or do I need to relax?  I understand that my body need to regulate due to being on the pill for a long time.  

I am trying so hard to calculate so that my husband and I could start to try to have a baby.  I am soo confused...

I understand exactly what you are going thru....I have been trying to concieve for 4 mos after being on depo for 7yrs. I have been off of it since Dec 2003....still no luck. It is very common to be very irregular after b/c for an extended time, and there is also the chance that you are pg but it isn't detectable on a hpt. I would take another test in 3 days and if that one is still neg and no sign of your period I would go have a bllod test done to be sure......they can give you something if you are not pg to induce your period so you can start trying again....I hope this was helpful.....kimmie

Hi and thank you soo much.  It helps, but you know, when you expect it to have your period exact for so many years, and now, it happens when it happens.  I appreciate your help.
Keep trying...it will happen.  :)

[kimmie_n_angus]

I hear ya....when your cycle is always right on the money for so long and then it does something different it can be nerve wracking. Especially when you are trying to become pregnant and monitoring things that you would never even dream of keeping track of in your life....ie..cervical mucus....LOL, only us women. I hope all turns out as you want it to...keep me posted....good luck

Hello Everyone:
I am new to this site....but finding it comforting.  I had a m/c & d/c in Feb.  Now first month TTC.  Usually have ~30 day cycle.  (sometimes less, sometimes maybe 1-2 days longer).  I am now 6 days late & HPT keeps saying neg.  I used First Response Early.  Have taken test for last 6 days thinking since it was "early" detection (4 days b/4 missed AF).  All have been --.  Probably going to MD tomorrow for blood test.  This sucks!  The last pg I tested 2 days after I missed my period & had a dark pink line indicating pg....now not even a faint line & 6 days late.  Getting nervous.....

If you are 6 days late and have taken a test, you are probably not pregnant.  If you don't start your period in the new few days, I would test again or have your doctor jump start it for you.

Unfortuately, periods are not an exact science.  When you don't have medication telling your body when to ovulate, it takes awhile for your body to get the hang of it on its own, and even then, it is hardly ever the same every month.  Some cycles will be 26 days, some will be 35.  Some months, you'll bleed like crazy, some hardly at all.  Then, you throw stress in there and everything is up in the air.  

[kimmycup]

Thanks again, girls.  I really appreciate the help with all of this.  Good luck to you all....

I'm groing through the same thing right now.  I am offically two weeks late today and I took a HPT 3 days ago and it came back negative.  I have never been late before and just had my yearly exam and everything was fine.  When my aunt found out she was pregnant her first HPT came back negative after being two weeks late and she didn't get a positive one until she was over 3 weeks late.  We just have to play the waiting game, if I don't start my period after being three weeks late then I will take another test and call my dr.  For some people a positive HPT can take a little longer to show up.

hey, i'm new to this thing, but i need opinions.  i'm now three weeks late, i've had 3 negative hpt ( 2- first response, 1- clear blue easy)over the last 3 weeks. i'm feeling symtoms, nausia, bloated, some weight gain, tired, headaches, clear vaginal discharge. All of these, i had when i was pg w/my daughter 6 yrs ago. the thing is, i'm scheduled to have x-rays in 2 weeks for a follow-up from back surgery 7 months ago. i'm not sure if i should cancel that or go ahead with it. i would sure appreciate any suggestions, or opinions on this subject.  thanks.

[chickypoo]

I think you should definitely get a doctor to take a pregnancy test before you do the xrays.  They will ask you anyway if there is any chance you are pregnant, and you can't lie.


Ok, I am in a similar boat as some of you guys.  I am 9 days late and 3 preg tests have come up negative.  This is getting very frustrating.  I am trying to decide when it is appropriate to go to the doctor, after being 2 or 3 weeks late or should I wait until my next period is due.  I can't stand the idea of not knowing for that long.  Any ideas?  What was the result for you other posts???

Hello,
My name is Holly. I am 20 years old. I am planning on going off the pill (i have been on it for 3 years now) in November. I hope to get pregnant right away so I can give the news to my in-laws and my parents as an xmas gift. Do people usually have problems conceiving the first few months they go off the pill? How does it work? I also want to lose weight before I have a baby. As it is I am not comfortable in my skin. If anyone has suggestions or would like to chat, please email me at butterfly_baybee2005***@**** I will respond to everyone!
Also, will you only conceive on certain days of the month? I can use as much information as I can

[cmid]

seems like there are quite a few of us out there in the same boat!! I have spent the last couple of weeks looking on the web for advice but am not really sure what i should take in!

I have just missed my 2nd period this weekend. I am never late and have never missed a single period before let alone 2...I am 25, reasonably active/healthy, etc and things over the last 4 months have been the most stress-free and comfortable that they have been in years. I have done one HPT and one at the docs, they were both negative. I feel nauseous in the morning when i get up and also when i go to bed and i am lethargic. My last test was a week ago and my Dr told just me to wait and see over the next 2 weeks as my hCG levels may not be high enough to detect yet...can anyone advise when i should take the next test or what i should do next?...its heartbreaking when that cross doesn't appear isn't it! Thanks x

I am two weeks late and I have not been on any bc since my baby was born 4 months ago...
I took a test last week and it was neg. I remember it took a while for my test to come out positive with both my boys.  Any help?

[lexi'smom]

Hi everyone.  I am 9 days late.  I should have started on August 13, 2005.  I have been TTC for 5 months now.  I have one 2 year old and desperately wanting a second.  I have taken numerous pregnancy tests, all negative.  I recently developed a yeast infection, which I have never had in my life.  I was told that sometimes a yeast infection can delay your period.  So, I need to get that cleared up and then if I don't start within 3 days aferward, I should go to the doctor and have them do a blood test.  I will be going in on Thursday this week to get that done.  I have also read that yeast infections are common in pregnant women.  So here I am all confused as to whether having a yeast infection is what is causing me not to start or whether it's because I am indeed pregnant and that's what caused me to get a yeast infection.  My periods are like clockwork and never this late.  Plus, I didn't start having a yeast infection until I was like already 5 days late and I am never that late.  Who knows. I am so confused.  I will let everybody know my outcome on Thursday.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, my period came on July 21 & ended the 24th of July..I would say it was a regular period.  About two weeks later I started spotting.  It was a light brown blood.  I would say that lasted for about 6 days.  I was supposed to get my period again August 18th..but I`m 9 days late.  What should I do? Does anyone know what`s wrong?

Hello,

I have been off b/c since May and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby. In August I checked when my last period was and it was on August 8th so then I tracked when I should be ovulatting and it came to 26 or 27 of August so my husband and I try to make sure we tried alot during those days.
Then on September 4 I should have started and it is now September 10th and I have not started. I have taken 2 pregnancy test and they have both came out negetive. Should I be worried that I have not started and could I be pregnant even if the last two test came out negative?
Am I doing something wrong? Is it normal to skip a period after coming off the pill?

Confussed and worried

Hi everyone,
I am 4 days late and took 2 hpt and both neg. I am cramping like I am going to start any min. but still nothing. If I am pg I would only be 11 day at the most do you think I am testing to early?

[justabeginner]

I've been reading thru these and feel like some situations are like mine. My period is never late, every 33 days like a clock. Its currently three days late and while the chances of me being pregnant are super low, I can't stop freaking out about it. I took 2 HPT's and they both came out negative. But the nurse I talked to this morning at my gyn's said its probably because its too early to tell. My boyfriend and I were fooling around and got carried away. He inserted his penis in me one time and took it out. No ejaculation. I was a virgin before this and so I had a tiny amt of blood later when I used the bathroom. I am so nervous because we are not in the position to have a child and didnt ever intend on going this far until we get married. My nurse said if I still don't get my period by Friday to come in for a test. But I can't stop worrying and I'm afraid its making it worse.

[UNCGIRL]

With my 2nd child I was 2 weeks late.  I took 5 HPT and they all were negative.  I knew that I was pregnant and kept on persisting with Dr. that I was.  They ordered a blood test and it came back at a 2 which is not pregnant.  I told the nurse, I am late, boobs sore and I KNOW.  She said for me to wait another week and come back in that it could be to early to tell since my periods run an average of 35-40 day cycle.  I waited over a week and took a HPT and it was as positive as could be and then had more blood drawn and it was in the 900's.  I KNEW I was pregnant all along.  SO I ended up finding out 3 weeks past when my period was due.
If you periods run longer then 28 days you may not show a + test resuts for a few weeks since you ovulate later.
Good luck!!!
