My period is a week late as of today. I used an ept test 2 days ago and a First Response this morning, but both were negative. I thought if I am pregnant it would show positive by now. I don’t know what else could be going on. Has anyone else had this happen or know what could be going on with me? I would appreciate any info. Thank you in advance. ↓

Same problem here, 2 negatives and a week late on my period. I've been nauseus and tired though. My breasts are very tender and I just feel overall pregnant. I don't really get it. ↑

Same here. I had thyroid removed and dr pulled me off all meds. so they I get period every other month on time post surgery. well it was due this month on the 17th and no show. took test tonight and it was negative. per my calendar/chain of events, it would make me wonder ok yeah i must be. i am 39 and was told not in pre-meno. never been prego but have one tube closed/damaged. was told that it could happen. wonder if i should contact the dr and do blood test. scheduled to see her next month - april 12 so wondering "if" possibly still ok to wait that long. ↑

I have same porblem, just talked to my nurse and she said if you ovulate late in your cycle you will not get a positive result until you have been preg. for 2 weeks. I guess we will all find out soon?? ↑

hi, im late on period too, and we are trying for a baby! im having pulling pains in my abdomen which i had with my first baby, and tierdness!
if the tests come up neg, then give it a week before testing again, and if still neg, then go and see your doctor and they wll be able to give you a blood test and an examination. dont leave it to long as if you are pregnant, you will need to start taking folic acid and start looking after yourself and start eating a healthy diet.
remember that everyones body is diffrent and it may take longer for your hcg hormones to show up. good luck! ↑

Well, I am over two weeks late and I have taken three pregnancy tests and they are all negative. I have been looking on the net to compare dif. kinds of tests, and the two that i have used have to have a lot of HCG to detect it. I dont know what to do. I am thinking about going to get a blood test, but I dont want to if I'm not..l keep trying to wait it out, but I am getting very impatient. My hubby and I have been trying for four months now. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I cant help it. ↑

I am late as well. About 10 days to be exact. I have also taken about 5 tests and each with negative results. My husband & I have been trying for about 3 months. I really hope that I am, but if I am not pregnant, then I want to get the period, and start with a new month. Is that crazy? ↑
Name: superbadchick | Date: May 6th, 2005 9:57 PM
I am 10 days late. I had cramping for 3 days last week, then no AF - which is weird because with normal AF I cramp a few hours and then she comes. I took a First Response last monday - faint positive. Next 4 tests, bfn!!!! ↑

Hi Tera! same here! I'm a week late as of today. I took 3 preg test and it's all negative...I don't know what to think. Me and my husband has been trying for the past 3 mos and so i really don't know what to expect. I feel tired everyday, my nipples are sensitive and i feel like my breast is getting big. I have an 8 yr old daughter and i can't hardly remember how it feels to be preg again. Should i wait another week and retest again? or see my doctor asap? Please can somebody give me an advice. Thanks ↑

I am in the exact same situation. I have tried clear blue test this morning but negative. I also thought if I was pregnant it would have shown by now. Period has been regular No clue whats going on! ↑
Name: chaelyn | Date: May 7th, 2005 9:56 AM
having these negative results from those preg tests is really frustrating especially when ur expecting a positive result...i just talked to my husband and told him that the test is still neg. oh well i'll wait for another week and retest so i'll keep ya guys updated! ↑

I am also a week late with multiple negative home tests and negative blood test. this would/will be my second child and I just know I am pregnant. I dont have any answers for you but do share you concern. ↑
Name: sally | Date: Jun 1st, 2005 5:49 PM
is it possible do you think to have neg. tests & still be preg.? i am a week late but having neg tests. thought the one yesterday was faint pos, but think it's just the evaporation line.never had this problem before, can't believe i can be preg with no line at all. any advise ladies? ↑
Name: Kei | Date: Jun 1st, 2005 5:52 PM
I was told stress and changes in my diet/medication. Oh well I guess I wont put too much into this. Are you old enough to be experiencing menopause? Some of my family members, of course, had change of life babies. Sorry. ↑

meant to introduce myself. i am 36 & have had 6 miscarriages between 9 & 16 weeks over the last 13 years. got 2 beautiful girls aged 12 & 8 & just had my sterilization reversed in november 2004.desperately hoping for that baby,but know it will only come if it's meant to.xx ↑
Name: sally | Date: Jun 1st, 2005 6:12 PM
my mum & eldest sis had menopause at 30, so i'm hoping i'm not going to inherit that one now i'm 36. since my sterilization reversal surgery on 18th nov last year i've had 2 early miscarriages. wonder if i ovulate later in my cycle of about 32 days, i think i do. perhaps i need time to get that pos test.... ↑
Name: shyni | Date: Jun 2nd, 2005 10:59 AM
I visited the dr. it came out negative, she said b'coz we too much worried about pregnency it delays our period or stress, tension and in the eve. when i came home thinking that my period start now and then, it started the same nite. So girls stop thinking that u r pregnant, just be normal, if u r then sure u'll realize after some weeks. ↑
Name: Amanda | Date: Jun 8th, 2005 3:06 PM
Me too. I'm almost a week late (tomorrow) and I've done two tests and both negative. My breasts are tender and sore to the touch, starting to feel a bit nauseous today and always tired (though not sure if that's because I go to bed a bit later than usual now). No food adversions or too much sensitivity to smells, except for cigarette smoke. Makes me v. nauseous. Never have missed a period before - always on time (down to the day, sometimes the hours it happens - v. clockwork). ↑

Hi my lmp was May 3rd or 4th. I have a 35 day cycle normally sometimes less. I took a hpt 3 days ago and it came out negative. Waiting until the 11th to test again. First month trying keep telling myself that I'm not so that I won't get my hopes up. Wishing that if I'm not pregnant my period would come already. ↑
Name: Sally | Date: Jun 10th, 2005 3:07 AM
Eversince having my sterilization reversed nov 04 we have been trying for a baby.my periods were every 30/32 days, but the last 3 months they have been 40+ days apart.i have no idea why & didn't think i was that worried about being preg, BUT i must be ! when you are due on you notice all the symptoms & get mad with people who say "don't worry,you'll know soon enough" BUT it never seems soon enough.
i started my period on day 43 this month but due to booked trip to Florida at end July i'm pretty pleased in a way.Hoping the holiday will help bring baby to us.
Good luck to all you ladies out there, I am thinking of you.x ↑

I hear ya! The waiting part is a pain. I've only been off the pill 3 months. First month my cycle was 33 days. Second month it was 28 days. This month, so far 38. I have not been under a lot of stress, and we are definitely taking it slow worrying about having a baby (we have seen friends stress them selves out and make everything much harder on themselves). I don't really have many symptoms, but I don't have my usual period symptoms either. I am extra tired, but I'm trying not to read into it. At any rate - we keep waiting. I have had 1 negative hpt and if I have another I may go get a blood test next week, because I have never missed a cycle entirely, or gone this long. ↑

hi...my last period was april 28, 05 and it lasted for 6 days....although i had a two day spotting may 18, 05 and now still no sign of my period so therefore ive been late for 15 days. what does this mean? ↑
Name: areona | Date: Jun 11th, 2005 4:36 PM
I understand what you are going through. I am 13 days late and took an EPT twice and it came out neg. Probably you should take a blood test or wait a little longer to take another preg. test. ↑
Name: Erica | Date: Jun 11th, 2005 5:39 PM
hey thanks for the answer.....i took a pregnancy today hoping that i was..but it came out negative..no im worried thinking whats going on...i do believe there can be an error but what do think..all theses times of trying really has made me feel like i cant have babies..im really down. ↑
Name: Sally | Date: Jun 11th, 2005 5:48 PM
Dear Erica, don't give up. it took me over year to fall for my daughter Rio, after a miscarriage. do not ever give up. i have been trying now since my sterilization reversal in november.i will not give up hope of another baby & please don't you.stay in touch with this list, they are supportive. Sally ↑
Name: erica | Date: Jun 11th, 2005 6:16 PM
thanks sally, i really needed to hear that....and ur right..i wont give it....God knows best.. but im really wondering if theres a possibility that there can be an error since i havent had my period and maybe it was to soon to tell...well if it turns out that i am i let everyone know on here....thanks and good luck.. ↑
Name: Tyra | Date: Jun 17th, 2005 1:25 PM
I am in the same situation. I was expecting my period at the end of May, and as of today (June 17th)...no period. I have taken 3 home tests so far, and all negative. I have sypmtoms from back aches to spotting...I think. I do not know what is going on either. All I can say is that I will have to wait 1-2 more weeks to see if I just happen to miss one month's period. I hope to find an answer soon before I go to the doctor's office. ↑
Name: jamie | Date: Jun 18th, 2005 7:45 PM
