Possible pregnancy? Home test says no, but...

My period is one week late and I am concerned about pregnancy. I'm tired, have nausea, swollen breasts, and "super senses" (smell and taste). I have also experienced cramping and emotional mood swings (crying jags, but for the most part feel strangely "calm"). I have tried two different types of home pregnancy tests ("Answer" and "EPT") and both are negative. Is it possible to still be pregnant?  In the past year, my period has been coming every 21 days instead of 28. I'm 30 years old. Could I be going through menopause? What gives? Thanks.

I'm feeling really sick today and kind of dizzy.  I took a pregnancy test just the other day and it was negative.  I just don't believe it! I haven't started vomiting yet and I read somewhere that if you're not vomiting you should be worried...that low hormone levels could mean a miscarriage.  I don't know... does anyone have any advice for me? I just keep thinking that if I take another HPT that it's just going to be negative again - I don't know what to do.

Hi, I'm having some of the same problems as everyone else--I have NOT been trying to get pregnant but I am 16 days late. I have 2 boys so I have been pregnant before but this has never happened.  I had terrible PMS during the week I was supposed to get my period but I never got it, then all symptoms went away--now all of a sudden I am having symptoms again. I have taken 2 tests both neg. however, they were cheap ones--(we live in Guam and they are double the cost than in the states and I don't want to waste money if results are neg)--Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated!

My husband and I are trying to conceive and what's hard about that is my periods are very irregular.  I have been charting the day I start my period and noticed something odd. On January 25th Started period, then 43days later on March 10th I started again.  My period stopped for a while until May 9th, 61days later. Then my last period was June 20th at 43days again.  I haven't started my period yet. Since July 24th I have been feeling really nauseated and have been experiencing discomfort in my stomach.  It almost feels like my stomach is stretching. I took a HPT on July 30th but it was negative.  Then today I got real sick and it's like all symptoms are hitting me.  I have been tossing cookies, experiencing back pain,  keep going to restroom to pee, headache, stomach feeling strange again like my stomach is growing. I decided to take another HPT test and again it was negative.  I am wondering if I am pregnant and I'm just not having enough pregancy hormone showing on test.  I know I was ovulating July 21st-23rd and we were trying to conceive.  I just trying to figure out when I should test again.

I am 33 yrs old and for the past 4 months I have been experiencing periods that are coming every 17 to 19 days, with a lot of cramping. I have been to my Dr.s and to the Hospital. My Dr. has done an Ultrasound and found cysts on my ovaries. (thats where the cramping is coming from) But is unsure of why my periods are coming as soon as they are. I have taking on a new job that I am very active at. (6 months with this job) Could my peroids be coming so often because of my active work life, or could it be something different? I know I am NOT pregnant, I have had the test done twice at the Dr's office, and I have been fixed 8 yrs ago.

I have not had my period in 3 months!!!! I have taken several hpt's and all come out negative. I haven't changed anything lately that would cause my period to be late. My husband and I have sex about 3-4 times a week, but he rarely leaves his *** inside me. Has this ever happened to anyone???
