Period 4 days late, negative prenancy test, Am I pregnant?

Hi
  I am really confused right now! My last period started on March 31. I expected it to come again around April 29 or May 1. However it didnt. I took 3 hpt's and they all came back negative. All of the symptoms that I normally have when Im on my period or when it is about to start are still here but no period. My breast are really tender however this is something that normally happens right before my period. My period has never been more than a day late and it being a day late is very rare becasuse I normally start early. Could I be pregnant and just taking the hpt too early? They say that you can take them as early as the first day of missed period and im 5 days late now. What do I do? Please help me

Hi  I know this is  way late and I hope your situation ended well :) but I am having similar problems: I had unprotected sex 3 days before ovulation. Since I've been monitoring my periods for 2 yrs ow they have never been more than a day late. I am now 4 days late but took 2 hpt and oth very clear " not pregnant"  what gives .. Only symptom other than the missed pd is a sensitive stomach and light queasy ness .

I know this is wayyy late, lol, but usually a blood test will only show up positive if you're at least 6 weeks along.

I am also 4 days late!!! I took the IUD out and started my pills ( Nor QD ) the same day, Sept 13 and got my pd on the 14th. My breast are very tender and soar and my sleep is all but normal. I have been a bit cranky and emotional, but because I haven't had a period in 6 years due to the IUD I am not sure if I should worry ( did I mention I took some pills late and didn't use any other protection! ) I am gonna take a test next week. Should I worry????

I am 4 days late for my period. This is abnormal for me. I get it a day earlier or later, but it has never been this late before. We only go condom-less at the very beginning maybe 5% of the time. I have also been experiencing pain during sex during deep thrusting following an aching pain after sex. I don't think I'm pregnant though it is possible. I also have light aches during the day and my breasts are swollen and tender. Times like these I wish i had a female doctor :(

****.. I was supposed to get my period the 18th or 19th of March, but I haven't and now I'm 4 days late going on 5. I'm planning on taking a pregnancy test tomorrow, but I'm scared. My boobs aren't that tender, but they're sort of sore and I'm really gasey. I also have more acne then usual, but I can't tell if that's because I switched to a new face wash or not. I've been having unprotective sex which I know is very unsafe, but seriously we were VERY careful. My sleeping schedule has been kind of crazy and I have been a bit stressed out so that could be it, but I'm not sure. I've been eating like I'm going to get my period though.. And my acne and gaseyness shows I should be getting it. Whenever I am late it only lasts 1 day or 2. It's 4 going on 5 and i'm about to pee in my pants because I'm so scared.

being that you were pregnant before you know you may have to wait a little longer to test. or better yet get a blood test. that way no waiting

I have never written in these comment things on line or never answer any question, but what the hell. I was suppose to get my period the Friday March 20th and didn't. it's Monday now and still nothing. I'm going on 4 days without getting my period. I did a HPT on Saturday and Sunday and they both came out negative. Is it to early to find out? I'm trying to get pregnant and I had sex when I was suppose to last month, but I'm very hard to get pregnant, it took me years to get pregnant with my daughter.. someone please help w/b....

There could be a number of reasons why you haven't started your period. Have you had any vaginal pain, pain in the overies or pain having sex. These are signs of either an infection or possibly a female problem. Wait a week to see if your period begins,many things can cause you to be late. Have you been under alot of stress? Stress can make you late as well. Try not to stress out about the late period, it happens to everyone at one time or another. Keep track of the days and if nothing happens in a week, go to a doctor and get a pregnancy blood test they are more reliable than a home test. Good luck and remember DON'T STRESS OUT....

Did you have unprotected sex around the time you ovulated?
If so, you might be pregnant.  Since you're not very late,
I'd recommend using another HPT in a few days or going to your
OB/GYN for a pregnancy blood test.  The blood test is more
accurate than a urine test as long as you don't test too early.
