RARE late period, pregnancy test negative.

[Magrela]

My last period was on Nov. 29th. I've taken 4 HPT and 1 blood test, all negative! My nipples are sensitive, but my breasts are not sore. I've felt nausea right when I go to bed at night, but nothing too strong and it goes away fast. I've also had light cramps, more towards my left side... Could I still be pregnant!? I got off the pill in August and my period is irregular, between 36 and 38 days...but this time it never came!! Any suggestions!? I'm waiting to go see my GYN, and hoping I'm expecting! :o)

Hi everyone!
I am 23 years old, and my period is 5 days late. My period was suppose to start on the 14th and now it's early morning of the 19th. My husband and I had sex on Dec. 10th which was during my ovulation time, but I got my period right on time on Dec. 18th. Well My husband works out of town and he came home on christmas eve and we had sex, but I just got off my period. Well now i'm almost 6 day's late. I broke out on my face worse then usual, when my face get's a pimple that's how I know my AF is coming. But this time my face got like 7 huge pimples. Which is not normal for me. I have these little cramps in pelvic area, but there different then AF cramps. I had the same little cramps when pregnant with my daughter who is now 3 years old. Oh and I also had a huge craving for fun fetti cake, and I never have cravings. It was so extreme that I went to the store at 10 o'clock at night with my 3 year old and bought the cake mix. Before I found out I was prego with my daughter I craved fish all the time and my coworker said "are you pregnant" I said no and sure enough I was. I took a pregnancy test early morning on the 18th and I got a neg :(. But I'm praying that it's just too early to tell. I want another baby so bad. My husband and I aren't really trying but that's because he has mixed feelings about having another baby now. I don't know how long I should wait to take another test. Also I have to add that I got the flu on Dec 26th a few day's after my last period. Could having the flu cause my AF to be late??? I hope it's not from that! Anyways I'll pray for all and pray for me! Good luck!

[nj2004]

ok soo i am so confused right now... i was late for my period and now i have one kinda...its a little brown??? never happened to me before...and its not a normal period like not as heavy..i have no cramps like i usually do what is going on???

[pale green star]

I feel for you, as I'm sure all the women here do.  It is very possible that what you are describing is implantation bleeding.  I know you have already took an HPT last week, have you taken one more recently?  Your symprtoms appear very consistent with early pregnancy.  Since you do not have a regular period yet, I would not give up hope that something good is happening.  
If the egg has implanted chances are you would have hcg in your sysytem.  Maybe think about making that appt w/ your Dr for a blood test.  (It will show up in your blood before your urine)  Try and hold out as long as you can, (and still remain sane), in order to avoid the dissapointment of a false negative.  
Best of luck to you!!

[Hopefulmum]

A little update. from Jan 11. I eventually had positive pregnancy test 11 days after my period was due. Everything seemed to be going well. Was booked into Early pregnancy screening clinic. However I have started to have some fresh bleeding and cramping-only small amount, but this is how my previous miscarriages started. I am stressed and anxious beyond belief. I cannot stop crying and my stomach is doing backflips! I really need to calm down but I am finding it very difficult. I went to clinic today for internal scan and they can see a little sac, but cannot reassure me as yet if pregancy is safe. They say could go either way. I have to go back on Feb 1st for another scan if I haven't lost baby by then. I don't know how I will cope having 4 miscarriages in a row. Its getting harder and harder. I am praying to God not to let this happen again and keep baby safe, but I am losing hope. Has anyone been in this situation?, I am crying out for help!

[Jeng1281]

It seems so many women are in the same situation. It gives me great hope to know just b/c I gat a bfn, I could still be pg! I would really like to hear updates from people with success stories!

[Hopefulmum]

A little update. After all those negative tests and eventually a positive after 11 days(have found out I ovulate very late in the month) and then the bleeding on and off.  I had another scan today and I have a little baby in the sac with a healthy heartbeat. I am overjoyed!!  It is still early on but I want to keep positive and not think I will miscarry for the 4th time. I am keeping my fingers crossed. So for those of you who are still having BFN , just give it a little longer (incase you also ovulate late and it won't pick up the hormone yet). Best of luck to you all xxx

[hayleybaby]

oh im soo overjoyed for you i really am!!! i hope everything goes well please stay in touch and let us know how ur gettin on xx

[blue_sapphires]

Ok I'm not sure if anyone is still using this, but i sort of need some advice on what to do here. Im twenty eight..and trying to have my first child. Honestly i never been faithfully calculating my period...never used to pay attention to the date it falls on..i just am aware if i comes beginning of the month..the middle or the end. That is until recently. My period has been doing some crazy stuff. It came late November last year, skipped December and came the 7th of January. I had sex January 21st because according to the ovulation calendar...this was the day i would be ovulating. However i dont know how accurate it is since i dont know for sure if my period comes every 28, 25, or even 30 days apart. Now here it is February 19, and i suspected my period would be here sometime between Feb 5-10 seeing as how it's the beginning of the month. I'm late..i have cramps in the lower part of my abdomen ever so often thinking my period is on its way, but it hasn't shown up yet. I dont feel any pregnancy symptoms everyone keeps talking about. I just know im extremely tired and sleepy more than usual. I also took a preg. test Feb 14, but it came up negative. I'm just like what in the world? Why does it seem like my period want to  play tricks on me at a time like this? I have a doc's appointment Feb 22 so i guess i will see then

[pale green star]

Hang in there, I know that I, and I'm sure every woman on this site, can sympathize with what you are going through.  It is really frustrating!!  Don't lose hope though.  The fatigue you are feeling is very consistent with early pregnancy.  Many women don't have any pronounced symptoms in the very early phase.  I know with my first pregnancy I did not have morning sickness, the only real symptom I had was fatigue, and sore nipples came a little later.  Feb 22 is right around the corner, try and hold out to then.  My advice would be to not take any more HPT and just to wait until your appt. (The heartache of a false negative is something you probably want to avoid)  If it is positive it will still be positive on the 22.  Request a blood test from your Dr. If there is any hcg in your system, the blood test will pick it up sooner than a urine test will.  Wishing you all the best, & lots of baby dust to come your way...

[kitty2621]

Hi, Im a 25 year old who has been TTC since stopping the pill in August.  Having been on the pill since i was 14, i didnt really know what to expect, since my periods were always on time.  But over the last few cycles, they have gotten shorter in between and longer in duration.  This time however it should have come around the 13th, and with it now being the 21st, it is of course late.  I have taken 3 urine tests all negative.  Im just wondering how long most of waited or are waiting before contacting the doctor. I of course dont want to take up there time, but in the same sense i really want to know. :)
THANKS for the HELP!!

[hayleybaby]

HELP

[dzidzi]

I gosh, it so great to find forum like this! I want to share my story with all of you...I am almost 33 and we ttc sine july 07. In sept 07 I miscarriage (i was 6 weeks). then in oct i went for my pap smear and it was abnormal. my doc did colposcopy w/biopsy of cervix...luckily it was ok, i mean no dysplasia or cancer. it was cervixitis (inflamation (inflammation) of cervix). he also said it was unrelated to miscarriage (???). so, since september preg trials were on hold as I needed to wait min 2 months after miscarriage + i decided to give myself more time due to abnormal pap. So, around xmas we started again. now, i am late with my period 12 days. I am NEVER!!! late. I took hpt 1 day after AF due...BFN!!! I cried for whole day. Plus my little sister just got pregnant. i waited 4 more days and did hpt again...BHP!!! (it was digital CVS brand). I was sooooooo excited! I went ot see my doc 4 days later. he was soo happy for me knowing what I have beed through...next day he called me to tell me that blood test came...NEGATIVE!!!! I was driving and almost had accident! he told me to come in on monday (tomorrow) to repeat tst plus try to figure out where is my very regular for 25 years period!!!! But, as we speak and as i was reading all posts here I went to bathroom and...I guess AF is arriving... My conclusion is that it is all i our heads I guess! how different can you expalin it??? but why I got BFP!! I am going nuts! but I am happy that my AF is back so we can cont ttc in week or two...

[LoveMyLife]

My first child took 4 tests to finally say positive!  By then I was already 5 weeks prego! :) Good luck!

[dzidzi]

Blood tests or HPTs?

[dzidzi]

I guess I know why I got BFP on HPT even though I wasn't prego...I was going nuts not understanding what had happened! (see my previous post Feb 24, 2008) therefore I was searching internet inside out to find some logical explanation. The reason I got false positive (which is very rare in opposit to false negative) was test performed incorrectly...I know, you may think I stupid but listen to this: it was CVS digital test. This kind of test has two parts: a stick to pee on it and the other part into which you have to insert stick. And here is the catch...you must insert stick into the other part FIRST and then pee on it! Well what I did was I peed on it and THEN inserted it...it was a mistake which caused false positive. How do I know? I found 2 posts somewhere on internet where this one girl hoping she was prego did 4 tests - 2 digital ones and 2 with lines. Digital ones said "pregnanat" and the line ones were both negative. She went to doc for blood test which turned out negative! haaaa! she called the number she found on digital HPT to report false positive and after she explained how she performed test, they informed her that this was the reason of false positive (wrong test assembly). also they said her call wasn't first and they got these falase positives in past and the reason was the same: wrong test assembly. I feel so good now knowing my false positive wasn't due to chemical pregnancy (most likely!) I will NEVER buy digital test again!!!
I thought that maybe there will be a girl like me and she will find my post helpful...

[Silvir00]

I am 31 years old. I want to have a baby so everytime my period is late I get my hopes up. I had a period in Dec about a week before xmas. Then I had another on 2 weeks later started on Jan 3rd. Since then no period. I went to PPH on 3-1 and got a urine test and it was neg.  I have been having cramps for about 2 weeks.
I really want to have a baby so the wait is killing me. Is it poosible to still be preg with a neg test??

I am very overweight and I read this could cause my periods to be irregular but I have always ben over weight and never had any issues with it.  

[kerioke]

I myself wanted to update on this blog.  I was a faithful "poster" this past summer and fall also frustrated TTC.  I am now 6 months pregnant with our first baby!  Don't lose hope girls!  It actually does happen!

Just wanted to share w/ everyone else what finally helped me conceive.  Like Hopefulmum, I too am a late "ovulator".  I ended up purchasing the "Fertility Monitor" by ClearBlueEasy and got knocked up that first month I used it!  I had tried the ovulation predictor sticks for months with no luck.  My cycles are 28-30 days and I was using the sticks according to their directions and my cycle.  But, because I ovulate late, it was never able to predict ovulation for me as I was using them too early in my cycle. I was beginning to fear that I didn't ovulate at all.  It wasn't until the fertility monitor that I was able to determine I do ovulate, just not until day 17ish.  

This monitor was a saving grace for my husband and me as I was becoming obsessed trying to get pregnant and nearly about to lose my mind.  This was recommended by a friend of mine who was also successful w/ conception using the monitor.  I bought it at Walgreens, I know CVS carries it as well.  I am sure any drug store will have it.  The monitor itself retails around $200ish and the 30 sticks that you will have to purchase as well run about $40-$50??  I’m trying to recall.  You may even have luck on ebay & spend a little less... but be careful that it is brand new.  Because the monitor actually learns & records your personal cycle, it is not to be shared...   The monitor is helpful in that it tests your urine daily beginning with the 3rd day after your period until the beginning of your next period ... or until BFP!  It may still take a few months to conceive as it monitors your personal hormone levels and records it in the system.  You have a daily visual of how fertile you are and on the day you ovulate you see a little picture of an egg.  I was so excited the day I saw my egg that I photographed it w/ my camera.  It was finally clear to me WHEN I was most fertile and that I did indeed ovulate.  I got pregnant that first month.  I realized that all of the previous months we were just simply not TTC at my most perfect time(s) but rather mid cycle.  

The system will only work if you are indeed fertile but it is great for counting the days of your cycle and for presenting a clear visual of your cycle.  It will help those determine whether they do indeed ovulate and when.  It may take a few months but the monitor surely does cut down on the amount of time it takes to conceive.  That is it's only purpose. No more guessing.  In fact, although the directions warn against this, I may also use it as birth control in between pregnancies.  Once again, you have a visual of when ... and when not.... to get it on :)  The ClearBlueEasy website has a pretty decent depiction of the unit itself and its intent.  Check it out.

I now feel the baby moving constantly. We had our ultrasound about a month ago and have the little picture on our refrigerator.  We have decided not to find out the sex.  We both really want to be surprised.  I realize this sounds so cliché but we just want a healthy baby.  I do, however, have a strong feeling that I am having a boy.  Mother’s intuition? We'll see!  I am due the end of June.

Best of luck to everyone out there.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Keep your hope, it will happen!

I am 31 years old and very overweight. My periods have always been normal ranging from 30-40 days. However I had a perioid in December just before xmas and then another on Jan 3rd. Since then nothing. I should have started the latest around 2-14. So I am at least 3 weeks late. I went to PPH and got a urine pregnacy test and it was negatrive. I have been having lower abdomen cramps for about 2 weeks. I thougt I was going to start. Is it possible to still be preg? I have been having unprotected sex with my fiance for 9months. He has retrograde ejacultion so we didn't figure there was any chance of my getting pregnant. Dose anyone have any experince with RE? Please advise I would love to be preg but I dont want to get my hopes up.

This entire thread has made me feel better.  I'm 31 years old, and I've never had a baby.  I focused on me in my 20s.  And I don't know what's happening to me.  I don't want to stress out.  

Two weeks ago my stomach felt strange.  I'm always trying to be super aware of my body due to some issues.  So I started going to the bathroom more than usual two weeks ago and I went straight to the doctor.  It can indicate something else with me, something I don't want.  The regular doctor did all sorts of tests, including a pregnancy test.  My period wasn't due for another week, so I was thinking other things.  And yes that was negative, but also 12 days ago; 7 days before I was due.

And I went on vacation this week which always kicks starts my period into gear.  My period was due on the vacation.  And now my period is 5 days late.  This is not normal at all, as I've always been regular.  Tomorrow I'm scheduling a GYN visit.  At home the test is BFN.

I keep thinking... the blood test said negative, but it was done a week before I was even due.  So I don't want to think that I'm pregnant since the doctor didn't say so.  But again it was done a week before I was due and I was thinking it was something else entirely.  But now that my period is actually late which cannot at all be related to what I was thinking before and cannot be... now I'm wondering.  

My boyfriend and my oldest friend keep freaking me out noticing everytime I'm hungry.  It was vacation time for pity sake.  Part of me wished that I kept my mouth shut on vacation, but they won't tell anyone else.  Ugh I don't know what to do.  So y'all made me feel better about the whole thing as I can't be the only one.  And it's good to know that it's too early to really know, though my period not being regular is not normal.

[tootiesmom]

Howdy all -

Glad to find this thread. 5 days late and 3 neg HPT's later I am wondering whats up. I have been pregnant several times but have only one child. My question is how long should I wait before calling the obgyn to get a confirming blood test if my period never comes... Would a low pregnancy hormone level at this point signify that there might be probles with this pregnancy too?

I had the Mirena IUD for just over a year but have been regular for 3 cycles now...

[pale green star]

Hi, I feel your your frustrations... I lost my first child to SIDS in April '07, since then I have had 2 miscarriges. The 1st I was about 5 weeks along, the 2nd one never even got off the ground, I tested positive, but my levels were not rising as they should of.  I ended up bleeding out about 2 weeks after I had missed my period.  
To answer your question, I think you could have a blood test now, the blood test is more sensitive than the HPT's and would probably show even low levels of hcg at this point. Also keep in mind that it seems that is not the actual hcg level for one blood test that determines a viable pregnancy, but a series of blood tests that is a more reliable prediction of the outcome.  The hcg levels should double every 2-3 days.  Some women are slower than others in producing the hcg levels, this could be due to a late implantation... If this is the case, it would take a bit longer for a HPT to show positive.  
Below is some info taken from http://www.advancedfertility.com/earlypre.htm

"Some normal pregnancies will have quite low levels of HCG - and deliver perfect babies. Caution must be used in making too much of HCG "numbers". Ultrasound findings after 5-6 weeks of pregnancy are much more predictive of pregnancy outcome than are HCG levels."

hope this helps and best of luck to you!!

[ShayHSB]

[Magpie2]

I had a miscarriage in January and after waiting for the reccommended 6 weeks we started trying again. I am due my period today but no bleeding as yet but have had period like pains for about 3-4 days. Can any one help as I would love to think I am pregnant but keep expecting my period to come as having these pains.

[freckleBone]

I am approx. 2 mths late.  Actually a little over.  I have yet to start my period.  I have taken two HPT and both come up negative, the cheapest one and the most expensive one.  Both NEGATIVE!  I have been late before but never a whole 2 mths.  I have been having cramps on and off. I have been more tired and craving some things but not too much really.  I have been nautious at times.  I am scared though because I read other threads where the women had ectopic pregnancies and their preg test come up negative.  I need to know what should I do.  I feel like I am going to start my period but it hasnt come yet!  Please help me someone! Thanks

[Sazy26]

I would recommend that you schedule an appt with your dr/ob/gyn. Not saying there is anything wrong, but it doesn't hurt to have things checked out. It also can be frustrating and disappointing when you start convincing yourself one way or another, and it turns out to be incorrect. One thing I've noticed after reading hundreds of posts, is that our bodies can be very tricky and they can be completely different from one person to the next. Stress can also really affect some people's bodies and delay AF. I think the worst thing is not knowing, so I'd go find out. Good luck to you mate and baby dust to you!!

[LadyM318]

I am 21 years old and usually get my AF around the 28th or 29th of the month. Well it is now the 4th of July and nothing! I get a few cramping sessions everyday that only last a minute or so than go away. My breasts have been a little sore. I get heartburn like symptoms at nite and sometimes during the day I get lightheaded and dizzy! I also get these migranes and tension like headaches that last a little while. I have been having amazingmood swings!!! I also seem bloated. But lately i feel normal..like i am not expecting my AF.I'm not sure if its stress or pregnancy. My boyfriend and I use a condom everytime we have sex. We have never had unprotected. What do ya'll think??

[ImBrook]

I got my last period on June 4th, its July 13th now and i still didnt get my period however on July 11th i awoke in the morning with a "nickel sized" amount of red blood in my panties. I thought it was my period but then nothing happened, nothing at all, not even a faint amount of brown blood. I have not had cramps like usual, no breast tenderness at all, etc... I've taken home pregnancy tests the past 4 days and still all are negative. The weird thing is that i took a ovulation test (cause i was told it can predict pregnancy) and that came out 100% positive. How can i be ovulating again when im late a few days for my period? Still pregnancy test came up negative today. I dont have any signs of an oncoming period and i've been regular for 15 years, what is happening to me?

[dlee38]

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant. I stopped birth control at the end of april. I had a period June 4th but not one since about 7 weeks. My cycle was about 35 days before I took birth control I took 4 home pregnancy tests, and a blood test at the dr 2 days ago all negative, but still haven't gotten my period. I have fatigue, tender breasts and nausea a few times throughout the day, and I am hungry more often. Anyone think I could still be pregnant?

[dlee38]

I have the last post. It turns out I am pregnant!!!! I am so excited

[Twilight82]

Hi everyone,

Me and my partner are trying for a baby. I was due on 18th, but haven't had my period as yet so im only a week late!  I have had tender nipples, but no other symtoms. I took a test and and it was negative! Then today there is a small amount of brown staining. Could I still be pregnant?? I had got myself so excited, its hard not too and now i may be heading for a downer! :-(

[Jolly40]

[mrs_adams3708]

My fiance and I have been ttc for three months and this month my period is so far two days late. We had sex at the time of ovulation and I have taken two hpt both bfn. I have been having pregnancy symptoms (nausea, more frequent headaches, more frequent urination, lower back aches, and sore/tender breasts). We really want a baby and I was getting a little fustrated until I found this forum. I am glad that there is a place for women who are going through the same thing can come together and help each other out

[nelson_aa27]

i've been reading all of the comments and i hope for some good news!  i'm so confused on what to think.  i had sex when i had just ended my period on the 21st of july.  soon after that i began to feel sleepier than usual, nauseas, and fatigue.  the following week i was feeling evening sickness.  i had a change in appetite.  by my third week of having sex i felt abdominal bloating and fullness.  one night i began to cry and not too long after i started to laugh because i never cry, i thought it was a mood swing and i was really of happy.  i also felt really irratated.  i started to notice i was gaining a little weight.  i also had to pee a lot.  the fourth week my breast got tender and i was getting lower back pains.  i was expecting my period that week on the 15th of august. i had 5 negative HPTs before then.  i knew maybe 2 or 3 of them might have been too early to tell, but the other 2 made me rethink.  i want to get a blood test, i'm just scared of it coming out negative as well.  

also i ended up starting my period about 3-4 days late on the 19th of august.  i started in the evening but not how i usually start.  that day i felt awfull, i was really naseas and cramping really bad.  i usually start heavy with brown discharge, but this time it started as very light, clear pinkish discharge.  i didn't know what to think.  that night it went away but the next morning i woke up with very little blood.  i usually have a heavy period but this time it was pretty regular.  my breast are tender and full now.  also last night i had the most trouble sleeping.  i went to sleep at 5:30am and slept till 2:30pm.  i had trouble sleeping because i was having extreme back pains.

i'm going to the doctor soon, but i just wanted someones opinion.  i want to be pregnant but is there still a chance even thought i have my period.
i've had 5 wrong HPTs previous of my late period, is it possible that i can still be pregnant?

best wishes to all those having babies or wanting to.

thanks for listening!

[robby715]

My period is three days late and i had a negative pregnancy test. I took one of those early pregnancy test made by clear blue. My husband and i have not been trying to have a baby but we dont use any contraceptives except the pull out method. I have no signs tha tmy period is coming. I have been feeling nauseous in the evening time and sleeping more than usual. have any of you that got a false negative taken the EARLY PREGNANCY TEST and got a negative but you were pregnant?. I have taken 2 different test so far and they are negative. but still no sign of a period.

[emw783]

my period is two months late! im really confused becuase i never miss my period, let alone for two months straight. my last period was at the end of june early july. I have taken a pregnancy test in late july and the 25 of august both negative! i feel pregnant like nauseas and have no signs of starting my period so i dont know which to believe... the way i feel or the negative tests!?

[robby715]

If I were you I would make a doctor appointment and get a blood test done. That is the only way you can be sure whether you are pregnant or not.

[josie19us]

i've taken 2 urine test both negative, the the 6th and this morning. i my last period started on aug 14th(about 4days, normal) and i had sex on the 24th and of the 5th. Previous AF date was july 18th. i'm anywhere from 25-28 cycle. Last week i started getting abdominal cramps and getting chills, but not like really really painful pains,so i figured i was starting my period early, around the 3rd. well nothing came. I never get period pains early, they usually are about 1-2 prior to starting. I had sex on the 5th just to see if my AF would come early cause it usually does when i do, but no luck. Well i'm still getting some pains but only very minor, i've also had some  nausea but not like throwing up more like i feel i my tongue very heavy in my mouth. my areola is darker and some of the little bumps are more noticable. I'm also bloated, constilated, i burp/fart alot, and my back has been hurting alot more. i've never had back problem and i've always burped in private.I do get tired alot but just a bit more than usual. i'm usually very tired anyway, because of work/school. Yesterday i tried to eat some chocolate and i couldn't eat it, as soon as i stuck it in my mouth, i spit it back out and i LOVE chocolate, especially around my period. The lastest date that i should get my AF is on the 11th but i haven't gotten the really really bad cramping like i usually do. i have my reg PAP Smear on that date? should i go? or should i wait till to see if my AF comes for a week?  don't get me wrong, i'm 28 l have a stable job and i wouldn't mind having a baby, it's just i want to be sure so that i don't prepare unecessarilly? any ideas?

Hi i am a 36 yr old brittle diabetic. I have all the symptoms of pregancy, sore breasts and even movement in my tummy. I took a digital test from E.P.T. today and by god it said preganant. I started to freak and i went to the clinic and within 30 minutes of the first test i took theres and it came back negative. The lady said that it might be because i took another to soon and i had no hcg in my urine. This is the thing i take Novolog insuline for my diabetes can this show a fake positive? This is what i have heard but dont think so i have taken 3 test in 3 months and this is my first positive. I am so confused and i am going back to take a morning test with them tomorrow but im just a lil confused about the positive and then neg. i mean if i am pregant shouldnt it show regardless?

[thecuteness15]

Started trying to get pregnant last month. (September 08) Period began 9/3 and lasted through 9/8. Calculated ovulation (which I never do) and figured the 16th was the biggest chance. But to be sure, we tried a few days before and after as well. A few days later (maybe the 19th) I started to have a mucous-like brown discharge that was only there when I wiped, but it lasted about 5 days. I never have spotting or anything like that, so I researched and figured it was implantation bleeding... My period was due October 1st, and I took PT, but it came back negative. So I tried the next day, and the day after that.. All negative. So I waited and tried again yesterday (10/9), and it was STILL negative! So... I have to figure by now I'm not pregnant, but I'm 10 days late!!! Whats going on? What was the deal with the brown spotting? Could I still have a chance of being pregnant somehow?  ----  BTW: I already have one child. She just turned 2. We knew when we thought she had been conceived and 12 days later I showed a faint positive on a cheap PT, so I figured I'd know immediately this time around too....  Any advice would be great!

[babyhereicome]

I am 7 days late, and 3 neg HPT. I am going in for blood test tomorrow. Has anyone had negative HPT and Blood Test and still ended up being pregnant?

[streessedmom]

i am 32yrs old and i was on the nuva ring for a month then stopped  and now my period is 2 weeks late. i took 2 hpt and they were negative.  i have cramps backaches sore nipples just like when i am gonna start a cycle but nothing.  Anyone have anything lke this happen? my husband and i always use condoms.

[andi216]

I don't know if anyone is still using this. But I'm 19, and I'm 13 days late. I just took a HPT and it was negative. I really don't believe it, I've been extremely nauseous the last 4 days, my appetite has increased, I've been really moody, I've had some cramping, but none consistent with menstruation. Yesterday I took a walk and when I returned home I noticed I was spotting, but nothing else has happened since. I don't know how much longer I should wait to take another test, or go to my doctor. I haven't always had regular cycles but the last two months it's been right on time, plus I have had unprotected sex within the last month. I just feel like I'm pregnant, not really sure why.

[sherrock]

Hi evrybdy.
We have been ttc for 4 mnths now. I noted I am very regular.
This cycle around, today is 13th april and I am 6 days late for my period. I have no symtops at all, except that I had my breast harder within  few days of ovulation ( usally breast tender 3-4 dasy before period). Its funny but I a m trying to make up other symtoms I guess like nausea..but not really..I did not find any spottin. Once I got very little blood on toilet paper when wipping little deeper.
I dint take any hpt, i find it heart breaking :(
I had already took apt with GYN to ask advice on hw to get pregnant and general check up, so probably I will get blood test done. I have app on 14th april.
All you experienced girls, please let me have ur advice.

Since menarche @ age 12, I've had clockwork-like periods. I am now 22, and my period was due on April 5th. After one day late, I took a home pregnancy test, and it came up negative, but my period failed to show up. Since then I have taken 5 hpt's, and they have all come up negative. This morning, my period came. It is nine days late, and this has never happened before. To everyone worrying, everyone's body is different. My frantic internet browsing turned up a lot of women who took multiple pregnancy tests with negatives and wound up being pregnant. I am one of the few who took multiple pregnancy tests, all negative, and my period just randomly decided to come late. Hpt's are fairly sensitive, even compared to doctor's office urine tests. If you're worried, and have taken a ton of pregnancy tests that came up negative, but you're still over a week late, it isn't abnormal.

[mandeekins]

Hi Everyone!
I'm Mandee!! I'm 21 and I'm like everyone here. I'm almost 2 weeks late for my period which comes quite normally! I have taken a few HPT and they have all come back negative.

But I have been naucious.. not extremely but enough to make me need to sit in the bathroom for a couple minutes. My nipples have been sore, I'm slightly more emotional then usual. Im currently in love with taking naps ... but still as I said... All the tests have been negative. I have taken cheap Dollarama (a dollar store) pregnancy tests... to semi cheap ones to First Response and nothing.

I have never been this late so it's kind of confusing..

Anyone have any advice

[Kim1989]

you should be getting a postive pregnancy test if you were pregnant. doesnt sound like you are but get a blood test and that will telll you for sure

[mercye_1]

I am only 15 years old. I had sex on the 19th during ovulation. I am curently on birth control but I am now 5 days late for my period. I'm tired and my nipples are sore I am having pelvic crams little ones and I'm extremely moody I took a test this morning but it came up negative I'm scared

[babygurl6908]

i am 22 i havent a period in 2 months and negative results wattttts goin onnnnnnnnnnnnn

[babygurl6908]

i kinda been feelin moody sleepy tired and mean

[Kim1989]

doesnt sound like your pregnant. your two months late and getting negative pregnancy test. go to the doctors there can be something else wrong

[mercye_1]

I am now having horible heart burn, discharge, and worried do u guys think I could be pregnant? My mom said that she has had all her babies on the pull out system and she gets pregers everytime she has sex which I believe cuz it isnt very often.........

[Kim1989]

your 15. if you know your mom got pregnant by a guy pulling out...why wouldnt you use birth control and condoms? you havent given any imformation that can be helpful in answering your question. like when was your last period? when did you have sex?

[Kim1989]

i didnt see the post before...you were on birth control. it might be that messing with your period or the fact that your so young. periods are all over the place


take another test

[mercye_1]

my periods are always on time till now I know it might be the birth control but I'm still scared it's seven days now. I have so many symptoms

[GRose]

Your period can be late since you are stressing out and your mind CAN play tricks on you and your body, making you think you are preggo.

[srvaldez10]

[mercye_1]

ok I still am having the same symptoms but I'm broken out and my period sumwhat started it's like a brown color but it's light... I normally have very heavy periods....could i be pregnant and still have this?

[Kim1989]

i told you to take another test...did you? if so what was the result?

your 15...your face is going to break out.

and like i said your young...your periods arent going to always be the same and will be all over the place.


if your not using condoms then you can be pregnant. we cant tell you if your pregnant or not. a pregnancy test is the ONLY way to tell. take a test

[michelle864]

Hi All,
I am a week late.  I have taken 3 hpt.  All of them were negative.  I have an appt with the doc tomorrow for an annual (randomly), so I will talk to her about it...  I am reading a lot about people like me who are late with negative results, but how many people out there like me actually find out that they are pregnant?  Truth is, I just want my period to come so that my husband and I can start ttc again!  I changed my diet dramatically this week as in I cut out sugar and white flour and just started eating really healthy.  I am a little overweight (size 12), and I am trying to get healthier.  I know that people who are a size 12 get pregnant all the time!!  Also, taking probiotics, fish oil, and vitamins and wondering if that can have anything to do with this... although I highly doubt it!  Anyone out there like me who has any insight or opinion?

[MommyBlaqk]

Hi, I'm 18 years old and i have never really been on any type of birth control, but my period has always been reagular coming on the 5th of each month, but this month my period was late so i took a HPT and i got a negative result back. Curently i am 2 weeks late and the only kind of syptoms (symptoms) i have been getting is that i have been really tired lately, and i have been feeling nauseous lately, i dont actually throw up but mostly at night time i come really close to actually throwing up. My breast have also been kind of aching lately and i have been getting slight little cramps at least once a day, i hope that i am pregnant but i'm scared to take another HPT before my doctors appt. Does anyone have any advice on what i should do, it wold really be appreciated

[Leah81]

Hello everyone, 6 days late here, 4 neg HPTs headahes up the ying yang, had sex may 3rd which according to a calender thing on there my O day. Dr won't do a blood test for 3 more weeks but i'm freaking out, I have been reading that metformin can make you fertile which i am on but why the neg tests?

[amuggle83]

I could really use some help b/c I’m so confused. My period is extremely late for me (last start date was 3/29/09) and I’ve had a period every month since I was twelve and I’m now 25. I’ve taken probably 7 different at home pregnancy test and all have come back negative. But yet, I’m having several pregnancy symptoms like nausea and vomiting, fatigue, tender/heavy breast, the clear stretchy discharge, cold sweats at night, my equilibrium is just off, tastes are just off, constipation and headaches. I’m going to see the doctor on the 6/3/09 but any opinions or advice before I see the doctor would be greatly appreciated.

[shybrokenrose]

ok been reading loads of sites to see what the possible cause is for my situation...my husband and i arent trying for a baby but we arent not trying for a baby if that makes sense we say that if its meant to be it will be...last year i fell pregnant which ended in miscarriage at 16 weeks i have been closely monitored since then i went in for a hysteroscopy on the 4th of June and it is now the 24th of July and I still havent had my period i have had some brown spotting and have a weird discharge i have taken 2 HPT's and they have both come back negative that was now 2 weeks ago i went to the doctor and they said that i should wait a few more weeks and if i havent had my period at the stage then they will only do a test im just not to sure if i could actually be BFP if my tests are came back BFN...if anyone one could give me advice i would really appreciate it...(also really scared to take a test incase it comes back neg - heard of women wanting to be PG so bad that their bodies believe that they are when they arent)

[amylou87]

I am 22 years old and i havent had a period in bout 2 months i have already taken 3 to 4 test and they have all said neg. What do I need to do I am scared i hope nothing is wrong with me. I have had sex but he pulled out would that mean i could still possible be pregnant?

[crazyinlove6]

Hey there,well lets see my boyfriend and I had intercourse without a condom about the first week of this month and my last period was on the 18th of last month, The thing is that im irregular and im sure i was ovulating that day but not 100%. I would love to be pregnant, but ive taken 2 pregnancy tests those 5day before first response test, but both negative.  I haven't been hungry for about 3 days now, i eat so little, my nipples are sore n my breast are tender. I don't get cramps but small pains in my lower stomach.  My friends say it might just be stress, but who knows. It feels like my pd. is coming but never does. Any ideas what is going on? please help.

[ehinton]

Well where do I begin.....I have been trying to get pregnant since Feb.  My periods have consistently been irregular.  I skipped a period in May.  My cycle is anywhere from 30-40 days.  My last period started on Sept 3, 2009.  So now I am on day 64.  I have taken several tests and they have always come out negative.  I guess my next step would be to take a blood test at the doctor's office.  Anyone have any suggestions?

[mememe1]
