9 days late, 3 negative HPTs, could I still be pregnant??

My period is currently 9 days late. Ever since I had my daughter (feb. '06) my period was right on schedule every 43 days.  Well this month it has not shown up yet! For the last 2 weeks Ive had cramps, and than just for the last four or five days Ive had backaches, headaches, Ive been VERY queasy, and extremely exhausted! And I dont know if Ive imagined things but my sense of smell has been QUITE hightened these last few days! Ive taken three HPT's and all were NEGATIVE. I tested when I was 2 days late, 5 days late and than yeserday, 8 days late. Im wondering if its still possible that I could be pregnant and just getting a negative response on the HPT's.  I havent really heard of anyone going 9 days late and still not getting a positive result.  AND if Im not pregnant what else could be wrong??  My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months now and this would be wonderful news!  I know we had sex quite a few times around the dates that I ovulated.  Any information would be great! Thanks!

My doctor's appointment was scheduled for this morning but I ended up cancelling (this morning) because my period started yesterday, after being 15 days late.  I'm wondering if it was an early miscarriage.  I guess this means we keep on trying! :-)  Good luck to all.

well, bad news.  My sister started her period yesterday.  We were all very dissapointed.  We knew the odds were against her when she went to dr. Friday and the blood test was neg. but we still had hope.  I prayed at church Sunday for God to give us an answer one way or the other.  This wasn't the answer I was hoping for but atleast the question was anwered.  She goes to the doctor on the 18th.  Hopefully she can clear everything up.  Good luck for all of y'all.

I am in a similar situation as you.  I stopped taking birth control over 2 months ago and last month my period only lasted 2 days, and was very light but I figured that was probably from not taking the birth control and then this month I was suppose to start last monday and still haven't.  I have taken 3 home pregnancy tests which all returned a negativve result.  I haven't really had any symptoms of even starting my period except for my face did break out a little bit as it normally does.  I haven't had any cramping or anything like that.  I did get sick after eating a hamburger the other night and couldn't figure out why.  I have just felt really sick to my stomach alot lately and I can't figure out why I feel like this and haven't started my period but still get a negative result back.  Any advice?

I am 10 days late now and I took only one HPT and it came back negative, I took it when I was 7 days late.  I am not really having a lot of symptoms only tender breasts, cramping, and for the past two days I haven't been able to sleep. Could I still possibly be prego even though my test was negative.  I did have some pinkish CM two days ago which is unusual for me.  My fiance and I do not use any protection because we would be happy either way, so it is a possibility, but I just don't know.  when should I take another test?  I am only 20 and have had a history of ovarian cysts so do you think that my problem is that I am having a reoccurance of the cysts or a possible pregnancy?

Hi, You should atleast wait 2weeks,I waited from May till June 12th 05
I knew I was probably pregnant because my boobs were hurting etc
and I knew that i was because I had just miscarried in march/april 05..so
I waited over 4weeks,NOTHING! so I took a preg test that my bf and i had gotten,a 2pack and It was a +,I didn't think i'd get preg the first go round..
I was working and everything and I guess I didn't think about it.
But, low and behold,16months later,I have a beautiful daughter :)

I'm not sure if you want to be preg or not,:) but Hope everything works out!!!
and you have a happy pregnancy! with me having had miscarried I had actually gotten Preclampsia,(high bp,water weight,feet/legs/arms were swollen as can be),
the nurses seemed disappointed I hadn't gone to a Dr my whole pregnancy,
You ethier have the money to shell out over 300+ to them or you don't!
I didn't.  I was disappointed in my own family and the bf's,weren't very nice to me, they'd be encouraging one min and really ugly acting like i'm their daughter,asking me"when are you going to the dr","what are you gonna do when it's 3am and the babys crying" As if I was 14! and i had no clue!
The brother in law,also had nerve to say he had a "SAY" in my unborn baby's life!...

I wanted to say"EXCUSE ME,you're NOT the father","YOU"RE NOT RELATED"!
HE only thought that since the bf and i were living there that he could just say whatever he wanted to and it wouldn't effect me what so ever!
And even now,

I've had other mishaps with the bf's sister So I quit seeing them.
they don't get to see our daughter AT ALL. And they treated her very ugly too.
(the sister smacked my daughter when I was RIGHT there and she didn't say,"you should take care of her misbehaving" nothing,she just went and smacked her hand really hard...I don't smack my kid!....I just can't believe these people
and how they treated me and my daughter. I don't get how the bf can even go over there and act as if everything just GREAT,when it's not.
and that's another thing, nobody listens to me!!

I cannot drive,due to me being blind completely in my right eye
and so,I have to depend on others and that's hard to come by
when the bf works NIGHTS and then sleeps during the day
and he's saying he'll take us where we need to go and to the dr's etc
and I'm like you cannot stop work just to do that!
He'll most likely be tired,and the last few times my mom still took us!
btw, I'm 25. But Don't feel like I am. But, I hope you other lovely moms etc
dont' get treated like I have been and still even though I TRY to stand up for myself No one cares

....I think I've had PPD since after my daughter was born,2/11/06 and I have this itching going on with my scalp in my hair
and it's not lice and I have no idea what it is but I constantly scratch at it
so i have boo boo's! I've tried the head and shoulders etc and I don't think it's that i have dry scalp,it's something more! Anyone Have anything like this??... I've tried searching the net and came across some stuff but I want something cheaper and that i can get at a local store or even try making myself!
I feel like I'm going NUTS and no one else around me notices anything!
i've told my mother but she doesn't seem to care.
Sorry this is SO long,but I had to get it out!
God Bless and Be Merry!AnnasMaMa
