Missed period

[Melissa129]

Hi!  I had unprotected sex on May 3rd.  My last period was April 19.  I am late and have taken 7 test and they are all neg.  Im never late and we had sex on the day I was suppose to be ovulating.  How many days pass a missed period can the test be wrong or should I go see my doctor?

Thanks

Hi!
Most reputable brands of pregnancy tests turn positive right about the time of the missed period.  Some women ovulate later than they expect to by as much as several weeks.  If one or two tests are negative around the time the period is missed, I usually recommend repeating the tests weekly until the period shows up, until it turns positive, or until you get nervous/concerned and go in to see your doctor.
Many doctors' offices and clinics offer free pregnancy tests, so call and ask, you may not even need an appointment.  In our office you can just walk in and get a test.  If the urine test is negative, a blood test can be ordered.

Good luck!

Maybe you missed the period because of something else? stress? bad eating habits? exercise? there are a lot of reasons of why a woman can miss her period, not only pregnancy.

I would keep taking a test every week to two weeks, but if you really are concerned go see your doctor.

I took another test today and it came back neg. as well.  Im going to assume im NOT pregnant now and just go one like normal.  Hopefully my period will come this week, my breast are getting tender so maybe thats a sign.  Good luck to all of yall that ARE trying to get pregnant.
