4 days late and a negative pregnancy test

My period is 4 days late I took a pregnancy test yesterday is negative but still no period I feel a lot of cramping comes and goes and the only symptom I have is I'm tired,hot and blooted.  I don't know what to think if I should try another pregnancy test.  I had been having my cramping 3 days before my due date on my period.  Please some advise.  When I got pregnant the first time I tested my self 6 or 7 days after my late period.  Pleas I need help.

Hi Ladies, this is my first time on one of these things, but I also can relate to many of you. I am usually very much on time with my cycle, however, my partner and I had un-protected sex about three weeks ago and I was suppose to get my period four days ago, I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative, but now I am worried as I have been feeling very nauseas for the past two weeks and have been getting headaches and very tired also. I have had a couple of days where I thought my period was coming as I was getting back pains like I do when I have my period, I have also had like a water discharge, almost like I have wet myself a bit. Any advice? It could be that it is getting later as I have been stressing how long it's been, as I would like to be pregnant, but the home test said negative.

My advise to you is get a "First Response" pregnancy test as it detects a pregnancy up to 5 days before your missed period. It'll be sensitive enough to pick anything up this early.

Stress can also delay your period. Try doing light excersises as that may help it to start (walking, swimming etc.) Don't worry about it as that causes more stress and can make it worse. I freaked out one time when I was late...I have a very "on the clock" period and when I was a few days late I automatically thought something was wrong, and it started a few days afterwards. Hope that helps, good luck.

Hey there, Im going through the SAME thing. I have 3 daughters and 4 pregnancies total. My first baby the APT said no and i went to a planned parent hood and i was 4 weeks along, with my oldest the first APT said no but i was 4 weeks along, my second baby the first APT said yes and with my third  we were trying to concieve and i went to a planned parenthood before my missed period and i was 4 weeks along. Since then my husband and i got divorced Ive been with my boyfriend for almost two years, and now im 4 days late. this never happens, my periods generally shift on occassion like last year they were at the end of the month and carried through to the beggining of the month and since then now they come on the  26th of every month if not sooner. but my periods shift sooner and are hardly ever EVER late. Ive take my 4th APT it was a digital one but it still said no, granted ive taken these tests in the middle of the day. I called my dr and she said to make an apt for a blood test next week if I still have no started. I dont feel like im going to start at all, and the only symptoms i have is im constantly going pee and im overly flushed and ive been having sudden headaches just two in the last two days and i feel icky when i eat... im in perfectly good health though just had my yearly physical and everything was great. i dont know but maybe just wait a few more days, and then get a blood test from your dr. it is more reliable it can detect even the smallest amount of the HCG levels in your blood. I told my boyfriend last night and he kinda got excited as he has no children of his own. Im getting nervous too, because we are going to Oregon this weekend for a mini vacation while my daughters are at their dads house. good luck lady!!!

hi, i have been pregnant 3 times. for the first two i just like you had missed period for a few days . did 2 home pregnancy tests and both were negative.

if i were you i'd wait atleast a week and then have a BLOOD TEST as it is far more
reliable than those home tests.

good luck
