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:)

thanks kimmie. i am nervous about this. i know i'm most likely not pregnant (i sure don't want to be) but i am getting worried that there is something wrong with me. i know you said relax and it will come which is what i'm going to try and do. i also will use condoms at all times from now on!!
good to hear you will always use condoms. i also know how hard it is to relax when you are worried. if you are testing negative at this point than you aren't PG....just a delay in your cycle which is common. your period will come and probably be normal after this. anything can delay menstration...a cold, flu, stress, etc. so i am sure all is good and AF is right around the corner.

HAHA dont listen to that, I am sorry but I was 6 wks pg and never got a postive result even the day I found out I was pg it was neg. Not even a faint postive in sight. I did miscarry that baby but still. You never know. Also maybe stress is another thing that can cause it to be late. The best thing is to go to the dr and get a pregnancy test done. Than if your not I wouldnt worry too much. Its going to bug you so much until you know for sure. Good luck!
i am so sorry for your loss. it is so true that stress can cause a woman's cycle to be late. i too have had many m/c and didn't even get a pos HPT but got a pos blood test. being a nurse i have to council ppl like you and i everyday...it is the worst. so many woman believe that you can't get PG on birth control or their periods. sex ed in school is good but doesn't explain what is really going on. woman don't know what is a normal irreg cycle and what isn't ...we aren't taught that an irreg cycle is even possible. it is such a shame that woman aren't truely eduacated about their bodies. i never was when i was in school or by my parents.

i took another test this morning and it's negative. it is a sensitive test (25mlg) of pregnancy hormone it can detect. the last time i had unprotected sex was on 9/30/05 so if i got pregnant from that time wouldn't it show up by now? that was also the very first day of my period starting. are there any serious medical conditons that could make my period late? i don't feel sick...
I know stress can factor into letting your AF late but before I m/c I took I swear 8 HPT all neg and come to find out the day I found out I was pg 6 wks along I went home took another test and it was neg some ppl dont get a BFP until way into their pregnancy. I would call the dr and see if they can do blood work that way your know for sure. Or wait about a wk and try again. Best of luck to you!
HI! This just happened to my 21 yr. old niece. She was 10 days late, and her test was negative. She went have blood test and still negative. She started about 2 days later. She had never been late like that before. Just weird! I think she was stressed bcuz her mom left her dad at that time.Hang in there! Definately get a blood test if your period doesn't come on Monday. Good Luck!
if it saying neg than i am sure you are fine. woman have irregular cycles at least 2 times per year for no reason what so ever.and being worried about an unplanned PG will definately stop your period from coming. try to relax and she should show up in a couple days. lots of simple things can mess up a cycle...stress, diet, a cold, medicines....it is really common and i am sure your period will show once you aren't worrying about it.

if i'm going to be starting my period in the next couple of days is there any way to tell? would my vaginal mucus be thin or more thick, etc...???
every woman is different but if you are experiencing a discharge right now it more apt to be creamy, white, sticky, thick or dry. you never really know when she is going to come...but worrying is enough to stop her from showing. tests today are pretty accurate these days and if you got a neg HPT then it is safe to assume that you are NOT PG and as soon as you take a nice deep breath she will rear her ugly head....she always does. we can't get away from the red tide if we tried!!

sorry i just need to ask a question my period was due friday but has not arrived i did a test yesterday negative but then this morning a slight line has appeared??????????
a positive is a positive as long as it was within the alloted time for the test sweetie.... if you still arent sure do another one tomorrow with first morning wee this is the strongest for hcg the pregnancy hormone to be found in... please post back with your results
I know that this is a question, but the site has reached it's question limit for today and I am worrying about this a lot.
Last Thursday(10/27) I started having brown mucus discharge. It has continued through today, only twice have I seen pinkish blood, only when I wiped, otherwise it's been this brownish-clearish discharge. I am supposed to get my period the 31st or the 1st. I had sex early morning on the 23rd of October.
However, I had sex for the first time on the 13th of October and throught that weekend. I had bleeding and brown discharge then too after the third time. (The same brown discharge as now) I thought that was from the spermicide I used though. It lasted for about a week then went away for a week and here I am now with that brown mucusy discharge again this week. I took a home pregnancy test last night(10/29) and it showed up as negative (the test where you can test up to 4 days before your missed period, and my AF is due tomorrow or Tuesday)
What am I experiencing??? Help Please, my boyfriend and I are so scared, even though the test is negative.
Someone please help me.
Thank you so much.

Hello everyone. I am new to this site but have been reading everyone's comments. I am sorry to be so redundant but I am having the same very light brownish discharge. I had a m/c on Aug 24 and a D&C on Aug 26. My dr told us to wait until after I have AF to try again. AF came 32 days after the D&C. We tried the week I was to ovulate. I don't know the exact day I ovulated, but I thibk it could have been Oct 16th(we has sex twice). Last time i got pg, my ovulation was REALLY obvious, but this time it wasn't. Today is day 35 and still no AF, only the super light brown discharge. I think it's too late to be implantation bleeding but I don't know what else it is. I've never had a period later than 35 days. I have some MILD cramping every now and then but nothing like my cramps usually are. I took a test Sat and that was neg. I don't know how long to wait to take a test again. Thanks for listening! I'm really praying for a baby this time! :)

i'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but judging by your age, you may be hitting menopause.
one more thing. not trying to start anything, but you obviously want to be pregnant or you wouldn't keep taking tests. you would have eased your mind with the first test. be honest with us and with yourself. also, quit wasting money on urine tests and go to your ob. you'll know for sure then.
dear olothechick. you're not supposed to read the test after 10 minutes of taking the test. the second line is a default line that sometimes just appears. read the pamphlet that came with the test.
Can Anyone Please Help Me!? I am 17 years old, and living with my boyfriend. We have sex often, but I am on birth control. I had a regular period from Oct. 11-16. Well, I recently started a new job, and I forgot my birth control pills a few days in a row. About a week or so later, I started cramping and feeling weird. Then I started lightly spotting blood that lasted for a few days, and since then I've been having a little brown discharge. I got off my b/c, because I thought I might be pregnant. I was supposed to start my period today, but it hasn't shown up yet. I also took 2 sensitive First Response pregnancy tests this morning and both were negative. I know my body, and something isn't normal. (Note: 3 months ago I had surgery on my cervix for pre-cancer and I have a blocked fallopian tube) Any suggestions on what this could be? Possible answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! (Please e-mail me at: ***@****)
I am now 6 days late and I have taken 3 tests, all saying no. I have read that you luteal phase stays the same no matter when you ovulate. I have an 11 day luteal phase, according to an previous ovulation test. I don't know if I am pregnant or if I just had a delayed ovulation. If ovulation was delayed, my bf and I had unprotected sex during what I thought was my "safe" time. I could be, but not far enough along to show up on a test (if I ovulated late). I was wondering if you could have morning sickness even before the hcg levels are high enough to show up on a hpt? I really never thought of being pregnant, but now kind of want ot be. If you have any ideas, let me know.
Why can't you just be happy for these people if they want to be or are trying to get pregnant? You can be pregnant and it not show up on a test. I know several who didn't show up until a couple of months. Why are you even at this site if you know you are pregnant? Why the negativity? You are pregnant darling, take a chill pill and quit stress over things that don't even concern you. This is supposed to be a support group, not a dogging session. How old are you? That comment about menopause was uncalled for by an adult. You should be ashamed of yourself. I am going to stop now before I start sounding like you. To the rest of you, keep your head up. If you want a baby, it will happen (if it hasn't already). God will give you a child as he sees fit.
