Cramping but no period???

Hello!  I am really confused right now.  My period is either 6 or 8 days late (Feb. being a short month-my last period began Feb. 14..happy V-day to me haha) and the only period like symptoms I have is some light-medium cramping.  I have taken four HPTs and they all came out negative, but still no bleeding.  I have looked up the signs of early pregnancy, and I do exhibit some of the signs e.g. tender breasts, freg. urination, and fatigue.  My sister has recently moved in with us and I have heard that women can affect one anothers cycles, but could this have happened so soon (in only one cycles time) and so dramatically?  I have NEVER missed a period and the latest it has ever been is three days.  How long should I wait til I take action, and what action would that be??  Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am at a complete loss and have no one I can go to for help.  Thanks in advance.

I am a week late on my period. Around the time I was suppose to have my period, I have been having these mild cramps, headache, been super tired, and bloating, nausea...I am still having those symptoms to this day..I took 3 hpt and they said all negative. I don't really know what To do. I'm don't have health insurance.

Any advice!?

I am about a week late. I had unprotected sex while I was ovulating. I feel like my period is going to start but it is not coming. You know the feeling right before you start? I have that but I have for two days, and normally I only feel it about 3 hours before..... If I am pregnant, It will be due around my partners birthday!!
When should I take a test? Like whens the best time?!?!

My period is 10 days late, but I've taken several home pregnancy tests and they've all been negative. I had unprotected sex whenever I was ovulating and we didn't use the "pull out" method or anything. My period is usually never late, but all the home tests are telling me I'm not pregnant. I've been very tired lately, been a bit crampy here and there, but still no period. I've also been feeling like I'm going to be sick, but I haven't actually vomitted yet, kinda been nauseated thoguh and I've been eating some strange combinations of food. Should I go to the doctor and have a blood test?

If you are having symptoms it is certainly not from the sexual encounter from three days ago. I love to read about the experience but if you don't understand how conception works there are multiple books or resources to give you more information.  My advice would be to make your next gyn appointment immediately and ask all the questions that you have as they relate to conception.

hey, im sorta on the same boat, like clockwork, started new years day. My boyfriend and I use withdrawal, we've been together a long time, no immediate concerns about children, just go with the flow.... (no pun intended) i was due 28-29th January, but complained from about the 2nd week in jan about annoying pains in my hips. its gotten gradually worse but the period never came. 1st Feb i went to the doc because i had been up allll night with the pains, which feel like REALLY bad period cramps. he did a pregnancy test which was negative and diagnosed Spasms. Saying as the pain was simultaneously at both sides it ruled out everything else barr pregnancy. The evening of the 1st, it seemed to me like my period had started, but a couple of hours later, not a trace. I have been irrationally emotional, not sleeping due to the pains waking me up and nothing eases it... i run hot and cold, i have lost all interest in sex which isnt me and i feel REALLY close to vomitting on occasion but never do and put it down to the cramps/spasms, tender breasts, easily tired, ghostly pale, just really not at myself.  I cant put up with the cramps/spasms if there isn't a baby in there lol so I'm going back to my docs next week if they dont stop...
