No Period. Negative Pregnancy Test.

[a1nal]

My Last Normal Menstral Period was on November 1. It lasted for about 3-4 days like normal. When it come around for my next period, November 29, it never showed. I wasnt worried, i just figured i was a little late. When it never came i started thinking that i could be pregnant, so i took a HPT. NEGATIVE!! so i waited a few more days, NEGATIVE again. Still NO period. I figured it up and i would be right at 6 weeks pregnant, but i took ANOTHER test this morning and it was NEGATIVE also. I dont know what to do. I have all the symptoms of pregnancy, but i dont want to go to the Doctor without a positive test.

Just to comment on getting pregnant... I was 41 got off of the pill after 18 years and got pregnant in 4 months....I had a healthy baby boy in June of this year. I went back on the pill and now I am 12 days late on my period. My last period was Nov.9th and I too am very regular....all my HPT's have been negative. I too am puzzled as to why and I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for their test. I doubt I'm pregnant, but maybe it's hormones????? Anybody have this situation???

the caffeine one is nuts. caffeine does not affet gettign pregnant. LOL.

I bought the ovulation sticks. what a waste of money. it didnt work. and accoring to the ovulation calendar I saw on google.com that was wrong too. mainly two weeks after your period and every other day, not every day. if you do it every day you kill off the sperm. it takes 24-72 hours for sperm to latch to the egg.

lets say day 12 of Jan is your day of ovulation. then try the 1oth the 12th and the 14th.

and another wives tale: woman on top, you wont get pregnant. thats a lie. I have a 9 year old to prove it. :)

even before we decided to start trying we had a very healthy sex life. i do remember doing it a couple days before, that day for sure, and a couple days after. maybe if i wasnt pregnant then, i will be now. i work at a hospital and have access to a blood test, when do you think that i could get one done that would be accurate?

The best way to ensure you hit your fertile time is to BD every other day from when your period ends to almost when you're due for another period.  This way you don't have to rely on calendars (which aren't really accurate anyways) or buy OPK's all the time.

I did use an OPK for DS.  It worked the first month so they can be quite useful.  Also, keep an eye out for EWCM and be sure to BD on those days.  Also, you could start charting your BBT to confirm that you are ovulating.  There's lots of tools out there if you want to use something.

It can take a normal healthy couple up to 12 months to conceive, so sometimes you do everything exactly right and it still takes a little time.

Good luck!!!

If you are sure you ovulated then yes, you could get pregnant. But maybe you aren't ovulating. If you suspect just yesterday, maybe buy an OPK and see what it says. Happy baby making!!

JJety is right. I've heard and read everywhere that every other day is better. But we couldn't hold off to just every other day! Every day still worked for us (: Twice!
