13 days late and negative pregnancy tests

[cervin]

I was waundering if it was possible for me to still be pregnant even though I am 13 day late and I have taken many pregnancy test over the last 3 weeks and all were negative.  I had very little spotting for 1 day on or about the 7th of March but no period since Feb 8th-12th.  I had a bladder infection and I took antibiotics for a week. Could that have made me miss my period?  Or, could that have affected the results of the pregnancy test?

Why don't you pop into your doctors office and get a blood pregnancy test?  That would quite effectively answer the question.  Most times you don't even need an appt.  Just call and tell them what is going on, and they will bring you in for one.


Antibiotics would not affect the HPT result.

I was going to do that and I read someones question on here and they said that even their blood test was negative and I have to pay for all lab work even with my insurance and I don't want to spend the extra money if I don't have to.  I was just waundering if maybe there was still a possibility that I was pregnant or if others thought that the bladder infection effected either the hpt or my period.
   I have very reagular periods so to miss one is unusual but like I said I had a bladder infection and I am not sure if that may have effected it.

I would think that by 13 days after missed period you would def. get a + result if you were in fact preggo, so I think the results are accurate and you aren't.  But you still never know, I hear of women not getting a + until many weeks after missed period.  

I suggest you go into your doc. office and let me know you don't have AF and negative pregnancy test.  And I'm sure they'll give blood pregnancy test free of charge cuz they have to make sure you're not pregnant before prescribing you something.  I'm taking provera right now to induce my AF.  My lmp was Feb. 7th and still haven't gotten one.  I too am regular, well until now.  And last cycle I was a week late, but besides that I've ALWAYS been pretty regular.  Many things are reasons for no AF- stress, excerise, hormonal reasons, and no ovulation.  But just speak w/ doc and hopefully they can help you.

Thank you I will go in as soon as I can

Hi everyone. This is my first time on this website and I have been consumed with reading all of your stories, questions and comments. I think it is great such a support is available. Here is my sitation. My husband and I have formally started "trying" this month to get pregnant. My last period began Feb.8 (it has been pretty regularly coming on the 8th of each month). So, that makes me about 13 days late. I have obsessively taken about 7 HPT all have negative. Iwent for a blood test on Fri and I'm waiting for results and going out of my mind. I do have 2 children-which we had no trouble conceiving- and I do remember not showing a positive HPT until about a week after missing my period. I am bloated, gasy, my boobs are achy, and my mid section is tender. What do you think?? The waiting is killing me and my pessimistic husband is driving my crazy. It just seems too coincidental that I am late the month we began trying.

[cervin]

It is possible you are pregnant the month you began trying.  If you hit you time rite.  I am having all the same symptoms as you and am also 13 days late.  I haven't taken a blood test though.  Let me know if yours is neg or pos ok so I will spend the money to get one I just need a little hope

[lynlou]

Hopefully I will find out the results of my blood test tomorrow (mon).  Leave it to me to have blood work on a Fri.----making me wait all weekend.  I'm also worried that if I am not pregnant, will this mess up ovulation for this month? I have no idea what my body is doing.

[cervin]

I don't know if it would mess up ovulation, I would think it would.  When they call you with your results, ask them.  I have been looking for answers, I was going to wait until my next period was due and then take another test, but it is such a long wait.  I HATE WAITING!  Well; my email is ***@**** email me and let me know your results if you don't care.  If they are positive maybe it will persuade me into forking out the money for the blood test.

[lynlou]

I'll let you know.  My fingers are crossed for the both of us!

[lynlou]

by the way, it's a shame you had a bad experience on "the Forum".  I just commented there--it was a turn off for me to this whole website

[cervin]

Thank You,
  I was trying to make things easier so I might get answers but you pretty much said it all. lol

[cervin]

Hi,

  I went through the exact same thing 2 cycles ago when my AF was late, I went from having 2 28 day cycles to 35 day cycles i was also having brown spotting but only when i would wipe. When I was late I took 3 HPT and all were negative so one day at work I started getting really bad side pains and urinating alot, I went to the emergency room and they ran a urine test and a blood pregnancy test. The blood pregnancy test came out negative too so i wasn't pregnant, when my urin test came back they found i had a bladder infection and gave me antibiotics. She also said that she could feel my uterus and thinks that i may have had a M/C, after taking my antibiotics AF showed up on a 35 day cycle. This cycle was another 35 day cycle so hopefully it has regulated, I hope the best for you and recommend that you go see your doctor as ASAP.

[cervin]

Thank you for the advice I will go in as soon as I get a chance

[lynlou]

my blood test results are positive--I am pregnant.  The dr. said my levels were probably too low for the HPT to read.  As of Fri. when my blood was taken, my HCG level was 93--from what I have read about levels there is a huge spectrum of what # is considered normal, so this # basically means nothing except that I am pregnant.  So they want me to come back tomorrow for another blood test to make sure that that number has at least doubled.  that is the important part. That will tell whether it is a "healthy" pregnancy at this time.  I think you should call your dr. and have the blood test done so you know for sure.  Apparently, it isn't so unusual so have a false negative HPT. But it is best to get down to the bottom of what is going on inside your body so that you are doing the right things to take care of yourself.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!  It also gives me hope that if I just wait a few more days or a week or so mine will register on a hpt test.  I am so happy now you have no idea.  I am excited for you and I hope mine turns out the same way.  If you would email me, I will let you know how mine goes as well.  GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING!!!!!  Thank you for coming back and telling me.  I was waundering about you yesterday and was hoping to hear from you.  This gives me lots of hope.  I may even go today and take a blood test lol.  My insurance won't pay for lab work though so I was trying to put it off until I was absolutely sure I was pregnant.  Thank You so much for lifting my spirits today, I really needed it.  Its only 9:30 in the morning and I have had a bad morning until now.  Thank You again.         GOOD LUCK!!!! BEST WISHES!!!!!!!!!

One more thing, When is your due date?  I searched when is my due date in google and got that if I was pregnant it would be around November 14th.  E-Mail Me.  ***@****

Hi, So sorry just to interrupt yor conversation, but I need a little advice and you two seem to know what you are talking about!
I started my period on the 11th this month and by the 15th I had completely finished bleeding (normal). A week later after I had been clear for a few days, I wiped and noticed first a pink tinge and then brownish discharge. Not abnormal, just like what you get when you first start your periods.It only lasted a day/2 days Im just a bit concerned because my fiance and I are not using contraception (he just pulls out) and I had a m/c last year, so I would like to know if I am pregnant as early as poss. Do you think this could be implantation bleeding? And do you think it would be possible around this time of my cycle. Its never happened before. Thanks alot xx

[LizzieBenz]

Quick Question, is one able to get preggo if your significant other pulls out? I have been on a regular period schedule for the past three months, now I am seventeen days late for my period. I just had a baby in November, my husband pulls out also, and I am part-time breast feeding, is it possible to be pregnant? I took an HPT a week and a half ago, it came up neg, I'm wondering if I should take another one.

[sara2004]

Yeah, I have heard that it is possible to get pregnant from precum which is ejaculated before the main sperm. My fiance also pulls out of me and Im a bit worried that I may be pregant this time as I have had loads of clear discharge (loads more than normal)plus tiredness and dizziness.
I think you should take another test, basically due to the fact that your period is so late. The first test can often be wrong. Godd luck, I hope you get the answer that you're wanting. Let me know how you go on. Sara x

[LizzieBenz]

Hey, thanks for responding. I took another test just yesterday, and it came out neg. Not quite sure what is going on with that. It may have something to do with breastfeeding but I'm going to make an app. with my Dr. tomorrow.
I would definitely wait to take a test, wait another week or so. I think it is possible that you are preg. Sorry I can't help answer your implantation question, I don't know much about it. But def take a test, it can't hurt. Good luck Sara!

[sara2004]

What did the doctor say then?
Im not due on my period for another week so it is a nailbiting time before I can test. Im just not myself. I dont know wether it is because I am pregnant or just a bit run down. I went to drop some papers off at work today and I was so warm and light headed (and it cetainly isnt warm in england at the moment!!).Im also very emotional at the slightest thing!. I will let you know what happens though.
Get another test done (Id go for a blood test if there is no sign of your period) and let me know
Thanks and good luck x

[LizzieBenz]

It's such a strange thing when you feel those "maybe pregnancy symptoms" they are enough to drive you mad! Especially when you are waiting. I've been feeling tired lately, but then I think "well, maybe it's in my head".
Well, still no sign of my period. Made an appointment with my Dr. and he can't fit me in until April 20!!!! Aaaagggg! So I'm in the waiting boat with you sister.  
Keep me updated though, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!
