16 days late, negative tests... help?

[EmJay1107]

My last period was December 20, 2009. I had sex with my boyfriend on January 1, 2, and 3 (which was when I was ovulating). We use condoms every time and have never had issues with them in the 6 years we've been together.

My period was due to come on January 17th and I usually run like clockwork. (I track my cycle using an online application and it says I average 29 days; my longest was 35 days about a year or so ago, my shortest was 24 days.)

It is now cycle day 46. My belly is a bit bloated, I'm emotional, I get nauseated at nighttime (sometimes the afternoon, but mostly at night), I'm gassy, and I've been cramping as if I am going to get my period for about 4 or 5 days. I also have a clear, odorless discharge similar to when I'm ovulating.

I took 2 pregnancy tests: one on Tuesday morning (Equate +/-) and one last night (e.p.t. Digital) and both gave negative results.

I'm going to make an appointment for next week with my OB/GYN but I'd like opinions. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Did you end up being pregnant even after multiple negative tests?

Oh my bad.. Lol

merrmerr - Stress only makes AF later if your stressed before you ovulate.  The number of days between ovulation and AF is always the same.  So if they aren't pregnant, they may not have ovulated or they were stressed before ovulation and caused them to ovulate late.

Gosh I went through that nightmare. Babies are a blessing but I'm not ready at all. When my AF was late 2 weeks I started to freak out and had all these pregnancy symptoms which freaked me out even more! All I can say is if all you h.p.t are neg you are unlikely to be preg. But STILL go to your doctor. And also DONT STRESS it just makes your AF later and if you stress your mind just starts to play tricks on you! Good luck x

Thanks for your comment! It's somewhat relieving to read about someone else going through the same thing. Good luck with your appointment next week. :)

Thanks! I plan on asking for a blood test when I go to my appointment.

Funny thing is, I don't want to be pregnant. It's unplanned and would be quite the surprise, so I definitely am not trying to convince myself I'm pregnant, haha.

Thanks again for your comment.

Best way to find out for sure is to take a Blood Test! Not to scare you but there might be something else that is causing your AF delay! Usually if someone thinks they might be pregnant they have "all the pregnancy symptoms" which sometimes is just your mind playing with you. I know it out of experience! Lol! I convinced myself that I was prego eventhough I wasn't! I had to take an Ultra Sound and Blood Work :)~

Good luck!
