Possible pregnancy? Home test says no, but...

My period is one week late and I am concerned about pregnancy. I'm tired, have nausea, swollen breasts, and "super senses" (smell and taste). I have also experienced cramping and emotional mood swings (crying jags, but for the most part feel strangely "calm"). I have tried two different types of home pregnancy tests ("Answer" and "EPT") and both are negative. Is it possible to still be pregnant?  In the past year, my period has been coming every 21 days instead of 28. I'm 30 years old. Could I be going through menopause? What gives? Thanks.

Can anybody assist me perhaps.. Im so so nervous. I'm 30  years old, I'm almost 2 days late with my period, had protected sex in the form of condoms (No leakage - I'm possitive) with breast tenderness. I have only been late once before. I bought myself  a pregnancy test, I'm scared to death because I dont feel ready for a child yet.
Please please advise and prayers will be appreciated...

i am 20 years old and think there is a chance of being pregnant. I had intercourse three nights with no contraception. It has only been a week but im always tired getting headaches, feeling fatigue. i thought i might just be ill but i dont feel sick throughout the full day just morning and night. i had a period just before the the first night out of three which makes me wonder if i had a chance of being more fertile? I have taken a home pregnancy test and came up negative however it has only been a week. What do i think or do?

Hi,
Im 22 and my period usually comes the middle of every month...in December it was a bit early and lighter than usual...no period this month yet n none of the usual signs. I feel so bloated and keep feeling like i have sweet lil butterflies in my tummy for the past 2weeks. My boyfriend n I of 2 years are not exactly TTC but we are also not trying to prevent it other than pulling out. I took a HPT at night the 26th n its neg...took another one thenext day n it had 1 solid line n one faint line( i had forgot to check it n think it was 15 mins later) I then took another test today at night n its also neg. but i really feel as tho I am... I also cant sleep at night for the past 3 weeks bc im too hot. Afraid to go to the doctor bc if im not that is another bill added. i believe im about 15 days late. advice needed -Tiffany

I have a very regular period..every 27/28 days. My husband and I just started trying last month to get pregnant. Right now I am 1 day late however, about 5 days ago i started feeling crampy...the cramps felt like my uterus was contracting or pulling and sometimes there were sharp pains coming from my ovaries. I have experienced some mild nausea. It feels like tge puke is just sitting there occasionally it makes me gag. All day today the pain in my ovaries/uterus has went away there is a slight bit od discomfort but nothing like it was. My lower back has started hurting now..kinda sharp dull pain. I still kinda have the blah feing as far as nausea still have never thrown up. I have not been very hungry lately either and ive had off and on mild headaches. I took a pregnancy test this morning and the test came back negative. I just dont feel myself. Any feedback would be appreciated...i have never been pregnant nor have i ever had a pregnancy scare.

Sometimes the "cramping" that occurs can be due to implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus... It's not always menstrual cramping...

My husband and I have been trying to conceive since we were married in August. The first day of my last normal period was October 1 - though it was about a week late. My next period didn't come until November 15 and was very, very  light and only lasted about 2 days. December 22 I spotted very lightly for about 6 hours and then nothing. January's was on the 10th and was between very light and just spotting, lasted about 36 hours. Got another period on Jan 28th. Lasted about 7 days, pretty light flow.
For the last 2 months I have been experiencing nausea at different times of the day, no matter what was eaten; fatigue no matter how well or long I slept; heartburn; mood swings; increased appetite; increased libido, increased watery discharge; fluttery movement type feelings in abdomen at different times. Experiencing nipple changes now, noticed it a few days ago. Never noticed the holes in my nipples before at all then the last few days. I've noticed they are very pronounced now and have quite a few white bumps on my nipples; and a few cluster-like bumps around the areola.
Could I be still be pregnant with negative hpts?
