RARE late period, pregnancy test negative.

I am 27 years old and husband and I have been trying to conceive for 1 year.  Dr. just diagnosed infertility and ordered a semen analysis (the 1st step for us) but we haven't done it yet.  Now, my period is 5 days late (I calculate like a crazy woman).  I am NEVER late and was sure THIS WAS IT.  Lo and behold the test had a big minus.  I cried.  I didn't test in the a.m. but it says you don't have to.  I am scared to test again just to see another sad result.  I feel queasy but maybe I am wishing these symptoms on.  How accurate are these tests??  How long should I wait to do it again?

Thanks!!

my last post was 04/28/10. that long period lasted from 04/20 till around 05/04! it was pretty heavy some days, light others. so for the rest of May i didn't have my period. now it is June 8th and i started spotting yesterday and have a medium flow today. i'll tell you what, this pregnancy business is no joke! my sis in law that i said in my last post was pregnant, had a miscarriage yesterday. =( the sac and everything developed but no embryo! she was really nauseated from a few weeks ago and then she said she noticed some tissue coming out of her, then brown discharge, then cramps so she went to the dr yesterday and that's when they did the ultrasound and blood tests. no baby. what it comes down to is there was probably a problem with the chromosomes, nothing the parents did. the good news is, now we get to keep trying together again but both of us have share the attitude of "if it happens, it happens." another friend of mine said as soon as she stopped obsessing about it, she got pregnant when she least expected it! so i hope that helps ya'll out there. it's ultimately all up to your Higher Power how things work out... =)

Hi my last period was around April 28th-30th. I usually have sex with my bf in the safe zones (just after my period or the week leading up to my next period) I rarely have sex in the middle of my cycle because I havent a clue about my ovulation pattern and so on. But last month I had sex on May 17th which I believe would be in my 'unsafe' zone. We did start sexual intercourse unprotected, we only did that for about 30sec and then we used a condom for the rest.
My last period was due around May 25th but it didnt arrive. My nipples were very sore for a week. I was 11 days late on June 4th when I started to get really bad cramping (like period pain) and I started bleeding. This continued for 3 days (until last night). The bleeding was red with clotting and the flow got lighter over the 3 days and finally stopped last night.
I dont know if this was my period or if this bleeding was related to pregnancy. I am worried because my period usually lasts 4-5 days with a steady flow up until the last day. So what I experienced over the weekend was short and the flow started off heavy and lightened gradually over 3 days.
Ive taken 3 HPT's all of which were negative. My nipples arent sore anymore and I have no other symptoms but I am still worried that the bleeding could have been implantation bleeding maybe? Ive read so many stories about women who haven't had pregnancy symtoms but they have been pregnant, and they havent shown a positive HPT for as long as 10 weeks into their pregnancy and some women even experienced bleeding during their pregnancy but still remained pregnant. I know bleeding in early pregnancy can also mean miscarriage and I did start off bleeding heavily with clotting aswell, but I dont think it lasted long enough to be a miscarriage? Or is it just a late period for no apparent reason? Ive experienced late periods before but never more than 2-3 days late. So I really dont know what to think.
Im extremely stressed/exhausted and worn out from thinking about all this. Its all self-inflicted and I cant stop myself from worrying.
Im 25 yrs old, in a loving relationship with my bf of 3yrs but if this is a pregnancy, its unplanned and Im very worried and scared.

i went to the doc fri and as of then was 23 days late...thought for sure i had to be, but found out all my tests came back negative blood count was perfect pap was all neg. thyroid was perfect, but gave the news that i had polycistic ovary disease. where my follicles turned into cysts so now i am on 10 days of provera then am going to start orthotryclen pills for a couple of months to see if they will go away on its own, it is very unlikely that you get pregnant with this, because it causes you not to ovulate or have a cycle, but not always there are a few that never know they even have it! SO HOPE THIS HELPS!

well at 14 days late I went to see my doctor, the test came back negative but because of all the symptoms that i have been experiencing she decided to also do a blood test. when i got home i spotted a little bit, but not enough to worry. the next evening i started my period but it seems kind of watery. today is day 2 of my period and it seems like its already going away. could i still be prego even though i have my period? still waiting on my blood test too...
