4 weeks late and 3 tests later.....
I read almost all of the question's, and answers, on here and realized that there are a lot of people in my situation. My last period ended around August 20th and the date today is 10-14-05. My cousin, who is a nurse, and I figured that I am about 4 weeks late or 6 weeks pregnant. I took the third test early this morning and it was negative! In most cases it would be accurate at a month along, but I do know there are exceptions. My husband and I have been trying since March so we are really praying for the tests to be wrong. Let me know if you have experienced this or heard of it. Would my hormone level possibly still be low enough for it to not test positive? I've been off of birth control for almost a year...in 1 month to be exact, it will be a year, Is there any other possabilities for me to be late? I was just at my Yearly exam and everything seemed fine, so there are no tumors or cysts. I'm letting nature take it's course, but I'm hoping for it to go my way!
just figured i'd follow up with everyone. im the one who posted right before this one. I was two months late but was not pregnant. I was late again on my next period but knew I wasn't pregnant as I have since broken up with my boyfriend. so it goes to show you can just be really late sometimes.
I had bow chicka bow bow with my boyfriend 3 days in a row. I was due for my period 7 days later so I am aware that we did not have sex during my fertile time. However, I’m 3 weeks late. I have been a lot more tired lately, super thirsty, peeing a lot, the bathroom is my best friend. As soon as I drink something it comes out 5 minutes later. I’m extremely irritable and cranky and don’t have a lot of patience. My breasts aren’t that sore, my left breast is a quite sore if I push down on it, but they aren’t sore to the touch. My left breast is sorer than my right one, looks bigger too. I spotted a bit on my 21st day late so I thought I was getting my period but it hasn’t come. I am crampy, and have been crampy for the past three weeks, I keep thinking that my period is coming so I rush to the bathroom but NOTHING is there. I took two urine tests, one at the doctor and one at home, both said negative? This was a week ago. Should I wait or test again? Is it possible I am pregnant even though the tests were negative?
Yes there is a such thing as precum and it CAN get you pregnant. I would question the accuracy of the negative urine HPT's considering how late you are and the symptoms you are having. A lot of women claim neg. HPT's but the blood tests were positive. So I suggest you go get a blood test.
well i have a question 2 ask if any body can answer it or just relate to my situation that would be great.My last period was on 19th of august 2005 it usually ends in 7days and i haven't had my period since today october 30 2005 but everytime when my period is supposed to be due which hasn't yet i still get syptoms as if i was.Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex but he pulls out every time is there such thing as precum? i am recently getting dark red -brownish clear thin vaginal discharge only when i wipe sorry 4 being (graphic)i am just concerned and there is no stinch 2 it.I took plenty of home pregency test 2 be exact 9 and all of the results turned out 2 be negative.i have trouble sleeping at night and i usaully take naps during the day.i get heartburn 2-3 days out of the week , my body is always feeling tired i sometimes feel nausea,light headed,back and head aches,cravings for food late at night,my upper stomach is a little hard (like if i just finish eating a meal and feeling full)but that could mean iam just bloating up cuz i missed my period right?i urinate often, 1 week ago my ribs felt like it was brusied it wasn't painfull just discomforing and then it went away.Iam not on any medications or birth control, i am a smoker, Iam just worried.Can anybody help me???????????? COULD I BE PREGNANT????????
SOME ADVICE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks 4 your time

Just wanted to say that I'm in the same boat. My last period started Aug 7th and that was two weeks late. My mom had one period when she was prego then none. So I wonder if I'm prego and may have even been before Aug 7th. All negative tests going to get a blood test Mond. I was actually in the process of getting insurance when all of this started happening. But most insurances don't cover maternity for a year so I am going to have to rely on Medicaid which at least it's full paid and I have found some really awesome doctors who work with Medicaid out of their desire to help others as opposed to just wanting money. Ask around, ask your local department of human services, if you don't have insurance there are things that can and should be done to help you. There are also sliding scale clinics which is what I am working with until I confirm pregnancy (if it's true). Prayers to us all.
I agree with jlu. You really NEED Health Insurance BEFORE you get pregnant. It is VERY costly and like kjsk posted to another lady today, that baby will need check-ups, shots, and they do get sick. Colds, ear infections, some need surgery as soon as they are born for heart defects, etc.. SO MANY things. I have 5 and if we didn't have insurance, well. I hate to think about the things that could have happened. And I hate to say it, but the quality of care you receive with good medical coverage verses Government Asst. can be significant.
Good luck--J

Yipes, you need to get insurance since your doctor visits will be many once you get pregnant.
I doubt if the test are wrong.. sorry. However.. to be tryig for a year with out protection i know canbe difficult. Maybe you should consider buying an ovulation predictor kit. then try that way. a lot of times it is a matter of timing. As for your annual being fine.. that is great. Mine were fine too.. but it still took me 4 years and a lot of infertility drugs to get pregnant. but by the Grace of God we did. and have a beautiful baby boy
best of luck keep us posted

Reply to Christina. Good luck with the new Dr.I am sticking with mine. She was my mom's Dr also and she is middle ground when it comes to naturalpaths, and those dr.s are hard to find (middle ground i mean) I will continue to watch my symptoms, and chart what my body does. Hopefully it does something soon. Good luck to you and your husband! Keep me posted.
reply to christie2004. We also came to the conclusion that I am 4 weeks late, but I don't have insurance so I am not going to the Dr. to get another test, though I wish I could. I also am somewhat of a Naturalist, so those pills aren't for me. I guess it's all about letting nature run it's course. If I am pregnant I will find out, and if I'm not then I should know soon enough. Thank you for your input. *prayers*
I dont know what to tell you. I have a similar problem, my last period started Sept 12, and was due to start Oct 10...its now oct 14 and i dont even have the symptoms of AF coming. We, like you, have also been ttc. I hope you find some answers. I am going to a new OBGyn the 20th. Ill let you know what i find out.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Replying to mrswest. Yeah, I did buy a sensitive test...First Response...and I only did one thing wrong, I waited too long to read the results, but that only caused a false second line. The line was outside the window so I know that it was just an over reaction. I have never waited that long to read a result though, so every other test, plus the one at the Dr. two weeks ago, were all done right. I have some symptoms also, which makes me wonder, but any hormonal inbalance or change can cause most of those pregnancy symptoms so that's kinda confusing. Thanks for the concern and I look forward to hearing back from you! *prayers*
You need to know the first day of your last period.
Lets assume it began on 8/14-15 (since you said it ended on Aug 20).
So your next period was due we'll say roughly 9/14. Since you said you didn't get that one, we'll go to today 10/14, which would (roughly) be the day the next one would be due.
So now you are actually late for your second period.
Pregnancies are actually dated by the FIRST DAY OF YOUR LAST PERIOD(even though you weren't actually pregnant then)--so if that was 8/15...you would be 8 weeks pregnant by now using standard dating rules (again, roughly-don't nitpick me down to the exact days anyone).
A properly performed HPT using first morning urine should be positive by now. If it is negative, your next step is to call your doctor and ask for a blood pregnancy test to settle the issue. Sometimes you can become anovulatory and miss a few periods. If this is the case, your doctor can sometimes give you a medication to bring on your period.
