Am I pregnant?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but after reading about all the different forums I decided to try my luck here.

Hi, I'm Maewin. I'm 24 and trying to figure out if I'm pregnant or not, hoping for some wise words and support.

A little backstory..

I've had regular periods for years now, they come around the 14th of every month, but the two last months I've been a day or two late, so my last period was the 17th of April. And considering there's been no aunt flo this month.. I am now 9 days late. It's quite scary, considering I've always been so regular and never missed a period.

I'm married and we do not use birth control (I've never been on the pill either) so I guess we're leaving it up to fate whether or not we get pregnant right now... which means that there is reason to believe that I might be with child right now. About 5 and a half weeks in (if you count from my last period). But I took 2 cheap tests this weekend and another digital one on Monday and they all came out negative. Now.. I have other symptoms, which include having felt really warm especially during the nights the past few weeks, getting really tired for no reason, being super hormonal (crying for no reason), being sensitive to smell and having a lot of white or clear discharge (not normal for me at all, made me think I was getting my period when I wasn't..). I also had some weird sensations in my lower stomach, hurt a little bit but not much, tickly prickly feelings. My period pains only show in my thighs, so it wasn't that. In addition to all that I also spent all of yesterday feeling really sick to my stomach. It went in waves, and smells really set me off, while eating didn't really make it better or worse. I also have a cold at the moment, it's not serious, just a little bit of a sniffly nose and a sore throat.. I actually got kinda sick about 2 weeks ago but it passed. Only thing due noting is that my throat feels worse now than while I was sick..

So.. yeah, I'm not sure what to do. It's a little difficult to get to a doctor for me at the moment, but should I spend more money on pregnancy tests? Or just wait? Is there even a chance that I am pregnant with three negatives several days after my expected period? I really hope someone can take the time to read this and give me some insight, because I'm feeling quite lost and confused. My hubby is convinced that I'm with child, but I don't want to get my hopes up and that scares me.. because if I rule out that I am not pregnant that means something must be wrong if I'm not getting my period, right?

I am also showing some of that Montgomery's Tubercules I read about..

I would re test again. I myself like first response early response and other ladies do too. You very well could be pregnant and your levels aren't high enough to detect but as far as i know the first response detect the lowest level. If it is negative and you still don't get your period after a couple weeks make an app with your doc. best of luck.:)

I felt "weird" when I was 2 weeks along. Went into the doctors and their pregnancy test showed up ALMOST negative.  It's was so faint positive, they ended up taking blood and running an HcG to see if I truly was.  If you're pregnant, Congrats, but regardless, I think you really should go see an OB.  If it's something more serious, you'll definitely want to know.  Piece of mind is HUGE.  Good Luck

I guess I'll add that I just calculated that it's been 40 days since my last period.
