I am over 2 wks late. Ive taken two test the day after, and the week after I knew I was late. I also went and took a urine test at the doctors also negitive. I have no more stress than normal, I have not been sick, my weight has been normal. My breasts do hurt, I pee more frequently, head aches. yes, and Im constently tired. My back is always hurting.! What do I do now, wait ? Im am always on time, within a day or so. I have been pregnant before I was only a few days late and  the test was postivie, I did have a miscarriage. So I am very nervous. Help ?.
