Missed 2 periods but negative HTPs....pregnant????
Hello. I am so baffled over my situation and I am hoping someone will have some advice for me. I am 19 years old and have had my period for 9 years now and it has always been regular. I have never missed a period before. My LMP was about July 17th, 2007 and it is now September 23 and I have not had a period since. No light bleeding, no spotting, nothing at all. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex (using withdrawl) and I am not on any form of birth control. I took an HPT a week after my first period was missed and it was NEG. I took another one about two days later, it was NEG. I took another one right around the time of my second missed period and it was still NEG. What is going on with me? I am not under any stress. Never had any "female" problems in the past. I thought for sure I was pregnant when I missed my period since I've never missed before. I am urinating more frequently. I am not one to ever get headaches but the past month I am getting headaches quite often. As far as nausea, I really haven't been nausiated recently, but on and off I was feeling sick to my stomach in the past month. I get tired easily. My breasts were really sore back when I was expecting my first missed period, for about a week or two, but they don't really feel sore now. They feel a little heavy but thats about it. I feel bloated all of the time with occasional pressure and/or slight cramping. I also notice my urine is cloudy most of the time if that means anything. (Not a UTI) Is it possible that I can still be pregnant after the 3 negative HPTs?? I have a doctors appt. Oct. 2 with my OB/GYN. Someone please help!! Thank you!!
Definitely get a blood test done. I had 4 months worth of negative tests and finally got a positive blood test and got to listen to the baby's heartbeat the day I found out I was truly pregnant...at 16 weeks

Hello,
When you see your physician they'll ask you about stressor, sx's of menopause and any history of irregular menses. You will want to make sure they check your thyroid level (TSH) and a prolactin level. They will also perform a pregnancy test at the office. Further, a gyn exam should be performed to ensure normal anatomy. After all that is completed, you should have some answers. Remember sometimes this type of thing can happen with no clear cause.
Best regards,

It sounds like all of this is fairly common. From my own experience, I have to say that 1) most dr.'s are dumb 2)listen to your body. I honestly thought I was dying for 4 months b/c all of my tests came back negative. Right around the time I should have had my period, I spotted for about a day. Then nothing. I was sick, tired, everything hurt, I wasn't nauseous, just felt like my stomach was eating itself. I lost about 10lbs. And just felt like **** and all I wanted was mexican food and baked potatoes. The dr.s had me take about 6 urine tests in office and that was after I had already taken about 12 at home. The last test had a line so faint that the dr had me look at it to see if I saw it too! So we did a blood test the next day, my husband and I waited to get the results, and when the dr came in she goes "Well congrats you're pregnant! Would you like to hear your baby's heartbeat?" So yeah needless to say I was 16 weeks pregnant and still not showing when I finally got a positive. Nothing is impossible. I'd push for the blood test sooner though.
I had my doctors appt. today. I got a PAP and she said everything looks normal. I had a urine pregnancy test done in the office and that was NEG. She said I could just be having irregular periods. I am a bit aggrivated. First of all I've never been irregular. Then she said she could give me a pill to induce my period and then put me on birth control and I was pretty much like.. no, not until I get a blood pregnancy test showing me that I am definately not pregnant or until my period naturally comes. I am not taking the chance of starting birth control when I haven't even had a blood test to completely rule out pregnancy! So I am going tomorrow morning to get my prolactin and thyriod levels tested and to make sure I don't have polysystic ovary syndrome. She said if my next period is missed then we will do blood pregnancy test and after that is definately ruled out she will give me pill to induce period and start me on the pill. I just don't understand why a blood preg. test couldn't have just been done today.. Im sick of waiting to find out whats wrong with me
Hi ladies,
I need to start off by letting you know that when I was PG with my son I didn't get a positive home test until I was 8 1/2 weeks pg.
Now I am never late. The 1st day of my LMP was 8/8/07. I have taken multiple home test all NEG. I have taken two different types of blood tests both NEG. I have however on 9/25/07 had a vaginal ultrasound at which time I would have only been 4 weeks from conception and all they would have been able to see at that time is a sac filled with fluid if I was PG. Well that is what they saw. And that is when they did the second blood test that tells you your actual HCG levels. The next I got a call telling me that my HCG levels are 0. Wait another two weeks and if nothing happens follow up with your doctor. Well I made an appointment for 10/11/07 in the afternoon. Friday I will have missed my second period.
My breasts are sore and heavy. I have lost weight but my lower stomach has gotten slightly bigger. I do not turn away from foods that I used to like, but I really only want mexican food. I have off and on cramps but dull ones and not sure if I am really feeling sick or not. Didn't get morning sickness with my son.
Has anyone every heard of this before?

Hello ladies. I am in the same boat. I am 22 years old and my periods are normally regular, typically a 33 day cycle. My husband and I were pregnant earlier this year, but I miscarried 4 weeks later. Now, as I am writing, today is October 3rd, and my last period was on August 26th. That means I am 6 days late and on a 39 day cycle.
I have taken 3 HPTs and all came up negative. I have been very tired lately, dizzy, naseous (I can barely brush my teeth without gagging), I have lower back pains, my appetite is all screwy (I had saltine crackers and peanut butter for dinner the other night), my breasts are tender, I am VERY moody, my skin has broken out more than usual, and I feel as though I am on my period, but I am not bleeding.
I am started to get very confused as to why my period is SO late. I haven't changed my diet, my exercise, been on any medications, been sick...everything is the same as it has always been and I can't figure out why if I am so late, why the home tests say negative.
Any ideas? Any comments or advice are greatly appreciated!

They said that my hCG levels just didn't go up so it wouldn't register on the urine test but that blood tests could pick it up. They never did give me a definitive answer as to why. My only thought was my weight was so low when I got pregnant b/c I didn't even start showing until well into my 6th month.
I am so glad to finally hear from someone who has actually had that happen to them! I have so many questions! Did your doctor say why this happens sometimes when HPTs just won't pick up a pregnancy?? Is it common!??

Hi there, I am 22 and my last period ended on 24 sept/11 I was expecting my next one around. 24 oct and it didn't show up so I took a pregnancy test around the 28oct because I have never missed a period and hardly ever late(29/30 day cycle) nd it was negative.I have had about 6 pregnancy tests since then and now all came out negative. What is going on?I have experienced a few symptoms like frequent urination,fatigue, some nausea and tremendous mood swings also my after my husband and I had sex a few weeks ago(not rough) I experienced some light spotting. I was on the pill for birth control for a few years but I stopped it when I got married about a year ago with no side effects. Is it possible the side effects are just late coming on? Should I make a doctors appointment now? Or wait until I have deffinately missed my second period.
I keep gettin mixed signals, some woman sayif your still negative on these tests after a week of not getting your period to contact your doctor, and some say that hormone levels are just to small ffor the test to pick up on?
What should I do?

Heyy I havent had a period since july its now september 2nd had unprotected august 8th been dizzy,low back pain, bloated and peeing alot but took 2 hpts that came out negative im so worried and confused
Well I am 28 I have never been late on cycle unless I was pregnant. I had a tubes tied 8 yrs ago after my 3rd child and now I'm three days late. I have taken 2 hpt and both are neg..I don't know what to think or do..is it even possible that I could be pg??? I have all the signs..but I'm suppose to not be able to have any more kids...I'm getting worried
I'm 2 months late for my period. Keep getting little twinges in my tummy and pretty much a constant headache. I've took 4 hpt's all negative. Every so often I'll get heartburn and feel a little sick. Are these classic preg symptoms? I've had my periods for 11 years and I'm very regular usually. What does everybody think?
