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.

Can someone help me out? My period is late.. I usually have cramps a week before I get my period. I got the cramps a couple days before and they weren't as consistent nor as painful. Ive been experiencing nasuea, headaches, mood swings, constipation, getting easily heated, I'm tired all the time, tender breasted that seem to be enlarging. I just got back from vacation. Where I had some of these symptoms. But didn't think twice about it. I'm home now and I thought it was just from recovery after being gone so long. I want to be pregnant, I pray about it! So I'm not exactly sure when to take a test I just don't want to get my hopes up. Ive been having unprotected sex for 6months, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

its always best to start a new post since this one is a few years old it might get passed up just to be aware of.

But I took a test I think a few days after I missed my period. But yes you can take one to early. Especially if you are not tracking your cycles to know exactly when you ovulated. Sometimes we can be off on when we thought we ovulated and then get a negative when really the HCG levels are to low to be picked up by the pregnancy tests. I would say if you are a week past when your period was supposed to start then you could probably take a test.

Is there such a thing of testing too early when your passed your starting day cycle? Im going through the many symptoms most women on here have posted. The sweat symptoms are worsening.

Everyone is different and many things, ex. Stress, can make ovulation occur later..and therefore get pregnate or AF late...so anything is possible
