One of the most frustrating things a woman can experience is having a late period and a negative pregnancy test! It does not matter if you are trying-to-conceive or if you're trying-not-to-conceive, a late period and recurring negative pregnancy test results can lead to a great deal of stress, worry, confusion, and conjecture on what might be happening.... Am I pregnant? If so, then why the negative test result? If I'm not pregnant, then where is my period?!? I hate that!

First off, having a late period and a negative test result is not necessarily a paradox. There are a few possible explanations. Indeed, in many cases there may be explanations other than pregnancy for why your period is late or has gone missing. There are also possible situations where a missed period is indeed caused by a pregnancy, and you nevertheless receive a negative pregnancy test result. Stress even though you think or say you have not bee,n being a woman we stress big time, I stresed so bad my first month of TTC that I made my period a week late and I had all of the symptoms of being pregnant and it turned out that I was not! Are you trying for a baby?
When was your last real period?
