pregnant...5 negative hpt's???

I am 14 days late.  I have taken 5 hpt's and all are clearly negative however I suspect I am pregnant since I am usually on time, like clock work, 28 days +/- 1 day.  Once, I was 5 days late, but my period eventually came.  At that time I had just started a new antidepressant, cymbalta, which may have caused my period to be late.  I recently started back on that antidepressant and am wondering if my system is just screwed up because of all the side effects accompanied with the drug (none of which are reported to be late or missed period).  I have tried to make an appointment with my GYN but the office hasn't called me back yet.  

So far I have been experiencing loss of appetite (could be due to antidepressant but is coming back now), continuous cramps in lower abdomen (similar to period cramps), continuous lower back pain (not uncommon for me),  some dizzy spells (recently gone away), insomnia (again could be due to antidepressant, also subsided).

I am very confused and would like some advice on my next step.  I would like to find out for sure as soon as possible since I would rather change my antidepressants or stop using them during pregnancy.  Cymbalta is a relatively new drug and, to date, there are no studies on the effects on human fetus.

I was two weeks late this past cycle and ended up getting a very heavy period. Who knows? You would've gotten a positive by now.

Well I was like that as well and from what I gather it was due to stress but everyone is different. Have you gone to see a Dr. about it yet? I would of thought you would have gotten by now if you were going to get at all! I hope everything works out. Sorry I wasn't more help.
