Missed 2 periods but negative HTPs....pregnant????

Hello. I am so baffled over my situation and I am hoping someone will have some advice for me. I am 19 years old and have had my period for 9 years now and it has always been regular. I have never missed a period before. My LMP was about July 17th, 2007 and it is now September 23 and I have not had a period since. No light bleeding, no spotting, nothing at all. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex (using withdrawl) and I am not on any form of birth control. I took an HPT a week after my first period was missed and it was NEG. I took another one about two days later, it was NEG. I took another one right around the time of my second missed period and it was still NEG. What is going on with me? I am not under any stress. Never had any "female" problems in the past. I thought for sure I was pregnant when I missed my period since I've never missed before. I am urinating more frequently. I am not one to ever get headaches but the past month I am getting headaches quite often. As far as nausea, I really haven't been nausiated recently, but on and off I was feeling sick to my stomach in the past month. I get tired easily. My breasts were really sore back when I was expecting my first missed period, for about a week or two, but they don't really feel sore now. They feel a little heavy but thats about it. I feel bloated all of the time with occasional pressure and/or slight cramping. I also notice my urine is cloudy most of the time if that means anything. (Not a UTI) Is it possible that I can still be pregnant after the 3 negative HPTs?? I have a doctors appt. Oct. 2 with my OB/GYN. Someone please help!! Thank you!!

They said that my hCG levels just didn't go up so it wouldn't register on the urine test but that blood tests could pick it up. They never did give me a definitive answer as to why. My only thought was my weight was so low when I got pregnant b/c I didn't even start showing until well into my 6th month.

I am so glad to finally hear from someone who has actually had that happen to them! I have so many questions! Did your doctor say why this happens sometimes when HPTs just won't pick up a pregnancy?? Is it common!??

Hi there, I am 22 and my last period ended on 24 sept/11 I was expecting my next one around. 24 oct and it didn't show up so I took a pregnancy test around the 28oct because I have never missed a period and hardly ever late(29/30 day cycle) nd it was negative.I have had about 6 pregnancy tests since then and now all came out negative. What is going on?I have experienced a few symptoms like frequent urination,fatigue, some nausea and tremendous mood swings also my after my husband and I had sex a few weeks ago(not rough) I experienced some light spotting. I was on the pill for birth control for a few years but I stopped it when I got married about a year ago with no side effects. Is it possible the side effects are just late coming on? Should I make a doctors appointment now? Or wait until I have deffinately missed my second period.
I keep gettin mixed signals, some woman sayif your still negative on these tests after a week of not getting your period to contact your doctor, and some say that hormone levels are just to small ffor the test to pick up on?
What should I do?
