Hi!
If you were my patient, I would do a blood pregnancy test for you.  Sometimes the home tests can be inaccurate, or hard to interpret.  If the blood test was negative, I would prescribe some progesterone for you to start your period for you.  If it was positive I'd go with prenatal vitamins instead!
Good luck!  Probably best to get a check up with your MD!

Hi julie162, it could very well be that you are pregnant...a pregnancy test will only give you a accurate result when you are about 6 weeks along...The best would be to go for some blood test, they will be able to tell you for sure if you are pregnant or not.
My best friend I had a while back only found out she was pregnant when she was allready 6 months pregnant. All of her tests also showed it was negative...don't ask me how but it was like that...!

Hi Julie I also have the same problem only my period was supposed to be here on Sept. 5th I did home test that came back negative I was worried that something was wrong with me so I went to my ob/gyn and did a blood test which again came back negative now this was about 2 weeks ago when I had the blood test and saw my doctor.  I was told to wait because I could have ovulated right before my period and be pregnant but I would have be a week or so pregnant and to just wait.  My doctor doesnt want to see me again until the end of October to give it enough time to show up if I am pregnant or to see if my period shows up at the beginning of October.  I am going to try another home test this weekend as it will be 3 weeks with no period and many pregnancy symptoms and I am scared to get another negative result.  Good Luck and try to be patient! I know it is hard to not worry but get to the doctor and have a blood test done!!!

i am also late for my period and was also supossed to get it the 15th. but i had some really light bleeding, bright pink and a lil brownish and it only lasted a few hours. i havent been to the doctors yet but have an appt. the 30th. in the past ive taken home test and sowed up neg. the doctor gave me a blood test and thats how i found out, when i was alost 2 months but had a miscarrage (miscarriage) a few weeks later...so im scared to even think im pregnant. but am hoping....but yeah i would say having a blood test done is ur best bet. home test dont work for everyone.

I had a miscarriage last year... Thanksgiving.

I am only 2 or 3 days lat eand my BF wants me to test ASAP to determine if I am preggo or not. We are the "whatever happens, happens" kind of people.

Like Kephartswife20, I do not want to get my hopes up and be negitive or misscarry again. It was the most pain i have ever had - emtionally and physically... And, i have tattoos! Could / should I start prenatel vitamins - just in case??? Would they do harm?

I am OBESE - and 6ft, 2 inches tall.

Best of luck to everyone!

I am also late... i should have had my period on the 8th of this month and its the 13th. I've been nauseated at night time like i was when i was pregnant with my daughter. But im also stressed. if you're stressed, you could be missing your period and also with my daughter, i took home pregnancy tests and they showed negative over and over but i went to an O/B and found out i was almost 2 months pregnant. so if you still dont get it after awhile, go to see a doctor, if you're not pregnant then you can still find out why you're missing your period... hope this helps..
