My period is late and pregnancy test is negative

I am in my early 30s and usually get my period every 26-28 days.  Today is 31 days and it has not come yet.  Usually I get light cramps a few days before it comes but so far I feel nothing.  Physically I feel fine.  I've taken a pregnancy test the last three mornings (with first morning urine) and all have been negative.  I always have protected sex with a condom except maybe on the first day of my period starting.  Why could my period be late when it never has been before?

it is very normal for a woman to have at least 2 irregular cycles per year. not every cycle will be exact. so you probably are just having a longer cycle than usual and if you are worried you might be PG than it can delay it further. if you have tested neg....relax and she will come. BTW...i had 5 friends who thought it was safe to have unprotected sex the first day of their period....they got PG. many woman ovulate during their periods. not all woman ovulate in the middle of their cycles so i would make sure you use a condom even then....just to be safe. i am sure AF will show up in a couple days....if not sooner. good luck and try not to worry:)

love....kimmie

I don't know if its just to early to test or if i'm not pregnant but i've also been peeing alot and very tired. I need some advise.

I had the same issue before. Mood swings, cramping,and cravings. Took 3 hpts, negative, went for a blood test, negative. So my gyn did a vaginal ultrasound, and found out it was ovarian cyst cause by hormone s. he put me on birth control to help treat, and regulate my periods. set an appointment with your gyn, so you can get real answers and solutions

THe best thing to do is make a dr appt like I am going to do (even though i have no health insurance right now) I am almost 5 days late for my period and it usually comes every 25 or 26 days on point..never late.. so I am assuming I am even though I took 2 at home pregnancy test and I could not see the positive lines..but i feel its there..not worrying about it just going to stop spending money on HPT and go to a clinic and get a blood test done.. Yes, it's important to know so we can take care of our bodies.. so making an appointment with the OB/GYN with be a smarter decision and talk about all the questions and concerns you have.  As long as you don't do this you will keep worrying yourself.. So make an appointment as soon as you can!!

I went off the pill in December. I got my period on time January and February, but when it came time for it this month (they have been exactly 28 days between cycles), I had cramps like usual before my period, but AF never came, so far 3 days late!! I am worried because I had unprotected sex, but he pulled out way before he came and this was his second round (the first one we used a condom)....so I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it came out negative. I'm going to take another one in a couple days, I'm praying and hoping that AF will visit me because I do not want to be pregnant!!! I am in another country for the next two months.

I kind of have the same problem as you. I'm only 17 and I stupid let my boyfriend have unprotected sex. He pulled out in time but I hear all the time about precum.  I come from an all girls catholic school so we don't even really get sex Ed. They just always tell us it's a sin to have sex. Anyway I am two weeks late and I took two pregnancy test and they were both negative.  I have devolved horrible depression from this. It's so bad that all my friends won't talk to me and my boyfriend left me.  I cry almost everyday and I fear the worse. I have read the comments above and kimmie really seem to know her stuff. Please I have talk to so many people and all they tell me is so see a doctor. I don't have a doctor to go to.
My family is super religious and if they find out whats happening they will kick me out of the house.  I know deserve it but I have no money to my name and I'm so scared.  Is this God's way of punishing me? Please someone help me, please.

I have an emotionally unavailable mother. She has a very good heart, but in terms of womanhood I am in this alone. I get my period every tuesday after I finish my last pill on saturday. Its been two weeks, no period. I have done two pregnancy tests and they are both negative. If there is a baby inside me I don't want to hurt it. Sometimes find that my doctor isn't very helpful. Sometimes I wonder what isn't wrong with me. So I don't really go to the doctor anymore because sometimes it seems like there is something wrong, but the doctor says there isn't. It is time consuming to get second and third opinions. My body feels messed up. Right this kinute if there is in fact a baby in me I want to do whats best for it. What do I do??? Kimmie I know you are a nurse what is happening to me?
