can i be pregnant

[jmr3]

Hi, my last monthly cycle was on nov 2oth and previously on oct21st so that means its pretty regular. I took a hpt about 5days before my missed period because I was feeling sick, it was negative. Its now jan 1st and I've been experiencing mild cramping for a few days now but no period I'm worried because I'm now 14 days late for my period.. What do u think?

My menstrual started exactly on. January 1st. Its so strange even though it missed the month od December it still managed to start on friday like it previously did.. Close call

Hi!
I ALWAYS recommend a pregnancy test!  Many doctors offices offer complimentary tests, and if you call around you might find someone who could do it for free.
If it is positive ( I think since you're so late there is a good chance ) you can then schedule an appointment for counseling re options and/or OB care.
Don't wait a lot longer!
Good luck!

i think it is very likely you might be.  not to get you nervous or anything. i am 37 weeks pregnant now. but I know the 5 days period that it happened and had to get a blood pregnancy test done for something 3 days after the time i thought we conceived and that came up negative.  and i started to get crampy too only after about being a week late.  those hpt aren't always 100% accurate when taken before the missed period. but i'm sure if you took a test now, being 2 weeks late, it would be right.
