need a little advice....

[Kelliemarie89]

Okay so I am 7 days late. I just took a HPT about 30 mins. ago and It was negitive. But I had just drank a whole dr pepper and my pee was clear. Does that matter. Does it really matter like what time of day I do it. I have sore breasts and I'm late so idk... Any advice??

Yea I just naver had any symptoms like this in my life... I mean I have missed periods before but never with cramps and sore boobs for no reason.... Idk its just werid to me if I'm not pregnant I'm gonna go to the doctor which I should do anyways tosee what's wrong...

It's very possible. There's dozens of reasons to miss a period or be delayed and pregnancy is only one of em. Symptoms alone don't tell much because they can also be related to a dozen different things, and you don't need symptoms to be pregnant. Just like you can have em and not be pregnant. If your next test comes up negative, you can request an hCG blood count be done. If it's above a certain number (normally 5 and higher but it depends on the lab) then you're pregnant.

Okay lol idk I just don't wanna seem crazy. I can wait a couple of days. its just werid that I haven't had my period and I keep getting cramps like I am going to for the past week and the sides of my boobs are sooo sore... Idk it could be something else

I would wait a few days and test with FMU. But some people don't have the patience for that. Haha. I've never heard that if you're over a certain amount of days late you can test anytime, because can ovulate or implant late and you wouldn't get accurate results. The choice is yours really and what you want to do.

Okay because I read where it said if you were over like 4 days late it wouldn't matter... I just don't wanna keep testing if I'm not because its useless lol.... So what do you think I should do.... Wait a couple of days and do it again or can I do it in the morning??

[Clysta]

It does make a difference early because you would only be 4 weeks along or earlier. At this point your urine is still too diluted to test this late. First morning urine will have the highest concentration of hCG and will give you the most accurate results. (plus for some women, the hCG just rises slowly and takes longer to show. I was 7 weeks before I got a positive with FMU) If you don't use FMU you would need to have held it for at least 4 hours with nothing to drink. (so it's easier to just do it when you wake up since you sleep for hours without drinking anything)

[Kelliemarie89]

But does it matter because I took one and it came up negitive fast.... I mean I read where it said after so many days of being late it shouldn't matter what time of day... So confusing
