Is this stress or pregnancy?

I'm really confused, I have a 22 day cycle and my LMP was 1-30-07
I am officially 5 days late today and all the preg tests have said negative. I have been a bit dizzy, moody (not knowing whether to cry or laugh), cramping for the past week (now the cramping has left), I'm very thirsty-therefore I stay in the bathroom, had sore nipples for a few days. Now that all the symptoms have died down the only thing that makes me feel like I'm pregnant is -no period- and dizziness. I'm also getting married in 60 days, could this just be stress on all levels?

Well I went to the Dr, Thursday the 8th. My test came back positive, they went off of my first day of my last period and thought that I would be around 6 weeks. They took a hcg level, and sent me for me an ultrsound, well they didn't see anything...It is because my preg.is too early to be seen yet, my hcg level was only 566.maybe 2-3 weeks. If your hcg level came back 5 or under then most chances your not preg. It is most likely stress related. I would follow up with another dr. appt in a week or two...Good Luck

Went to the Doc Wednesday and did blood HCG test, the result was neg. Still no period....10 days late now. I guess if I were preg I would be 5 weeks now....Anyone ever get a neg at 5 weeks when they were actually preg?

I recently had all of those symptoms too.  Thirst, dizziness, period cramping with no period, extremely moody & depressed, plus I was 3 days late.  I took a pregnancy test & it was negative.  So it was just that; I was late.  Period finally came.  If you get your period every month & your pregnancy test is negative, most likely you are not pregnant & your period will come.

Dizziness is not an early sign of pregnancy.
Dizziness/lightheadedness occurs in pregnancy when blood volume increases usually in the second trimester. In addition, hpt's have a high accuracy rate, and I would trust the results....
My bet is that it is stress.  Good luck and best wishes on your wedding day!

I had the same symptoms...I was thirsty all the time, I cramped like my period was coming, my nipples were sore, I missed Feb. period. We are in the process of building a house so I thought it was stress related...I took test after test..5 days before my expected period and up to 1 week of missing my period they all came back -. Until Friday. I took 2 home test and they were +. I even posted here on the forum on 3/2-symptoms of period but never came...You might want to wait another week and test yourself or make an appt. to go to the dr. You never know!! Good luck to you!!

sure..it could be stress..stress can do amazing things.  Wait another few days and test again, if it's still negative, maybe go see your doctor.  Congrats on getting married!
