RARE late period, pregnancy test negative.

I am 27 years old and husband and I have been trying to conceive for 1 year.  Dr. just diagnosed infertility and ordered a semen analysis (the 1st step for us) but we haven't done it yet.  Now, my period is 5 days late (I calculate like a crazy woman).  I am NEVER late and was sure THIS WAS IT.  Lo and behold the test had a big minus.  I cried.  I didn't test in the a.m. but it says you don't have to.  I am scared to test again just to see another sad result.  I feel queasy but maybe I am wishing these symptoms on.  How accurate are these tests??  How long should I wait to do it again?

Thanks!!

Hi. I had unprotected sex in the month of April, the last time I got menstruation. Then Im so confused whether if Im pregnant. In the month of MAY, I had red menstruation for almost 5 days. After that, we used condom. By now, I was spotting for almost 5 days. In my first day spotting, the color of my mens is light red. Then in the next day, brown. On the third day, light red again. Fourth day was light brown and lastly color brown again in my last spotting. I dont know whether if im pregnant, I took pregnancy test and it turned out into negative result. Im irregular period since I gave birth, I dont know whether if im stress or im delayed. Help me im so paranoid, Im not ready to have a second baby. Thanks.

I was expecting AF last sat. 8/2/14 but never showed....I figured that my calendar was off so I didn't panic! The days went on and still no AF so on tues I took a hpt Tuesday 8/5/14...it showed a faint line (possible positive) so I asked a dr friend and she said prob yes that I was.....she had the same result her 1st preg. Well I decided to wait a few days and take another test, so this morn Friday 8/8/14.....this time it said Negitive and I have some brownish discharge. I'm 33y.o. it bothers me b/c I have never been late except for in late May when I had strep (I thought then I might be prego but read that being sick can affect AF so no worries......but other wise I am ALWAYS REG. This time I really thought it might be and even after this morn result.....I'm still not convinced that I'm not prego.....I have a lot of the symptoms such as......extreme tiredness, queasy/nausea that is off and on through the day, sore/tender breasts, crazy emotional, frequent urination, head aches, lower back pain, slight abdominal cramping, & 8 days overdue for AF! Can anyone give me advice......I'm not completely convinced that I'm not prego yet......Please Help!

Was just reading bout some of the concerns an worries of ttc. so i like to ask a ?. U are timing out ur cycle an made sure u had sex on the 13 day. but was that the only day? Iv often hurd more u stress makin it like calender work the harder it may become. im far from any doc. An thank god he has blessed me with two angles. I struggled ttc with the 1st. but when i stopped makin the hole thg a calender event an let the pontaneous love physcial mental passion back into the bedroom an stopped counting day. I know the sprem can hang around livly for up to 3 days max. so my partiner an i let it an an started focusing on try doin lil special or just sweet trying. to make sure we were in bed ev  2 to 3 nights. For no less then a month. i meam shut thats keep a livly fresh batch in there just bout at all times. another tip that i wud do was after he had u know released. stop the sex so pushes least as possible back out. i wud then but pillows under my behind to elevate my pelvic area an wud lay there longs as i cud  read a lil on a book or somethg. shoot few times fell on to sleep for the nite till i rolled off of it. lol tryin not to loose a single one. i no dont sound the funnest. but when u want a baby u want a baby. Well i did that tru the mouth of Jan. i tested early fed it was negative but i felt it. So i waited till valentines days tested again an it was an awsome valentines suprise with a possive. saw a doc within the next week to find out i was around 6 weeks preganent. So my 1st test that showed negative i was actually around four week preganent so u never no but keep ur heads up. but like i said im no doc an cant say it wud work for evone. An no doc offered me this advise. it was a wise old great grandmother who lived an concived in the days with no doctors saying. here take this pill give urself this shot on this sorting day wait two hours an give it go. i dont just wanted to share my exsprence.

i have. Me and my husband have a 2 year old daughter and were trying for a baby then we stopped thinking we weren't meant to have another baby after 2 months of trying, and had no problems conceiving our daughter. But i had a period 10/30/2011 and i am 3 months late. My doctor told me my body is stressed i am only 25. But i was never this late and i ALWAYS had my period every month. I am having pregnancy symtomps but i have had 3 urine pregnancy test and 2 blood test and they still show negative. I am at a loss why i could be missing periods if i am not pregnant. How could i not be pregnant if i havent had a period in 3 months. I am worried though because if i am then i need to be careful because my doctor wants me to take prevera (medication to start my period) but it could harm my baby if i am pregnant and i am taking these pills.
