My husband and I have been using condoms since December and one broke in the early part of June, about seven days after I started my period. Since then, we have not been using anything because we thought the possibility of pregnancy was pretty high. I am now six days late with my period (which is always a 26-28 day cycle and never late--not even when I was a teenager). I took a urine test at the doctor's office today and it came back negative. I am extremely tired, my br___ts are somewhat sore, and as of yesterday, I'm nauseated at the smell of things I usually like (candles, etc.). Is it possible that I am pregnant? I'm very confused and frustrated. I asked my doctor to order a blood test and she refused telling me that there is no way I'm pregant if the urine test came back negative and "there isn't a real explaination for a late period." Should I accept this answer and just go on? Please help!! Thank you!

Time to get a new doctor. It you request a test they should do it with no questions asked. You could take a home pregnancy test in 1 week and see whay happens. The doctor's office test is no different than the home pregnancy test. You have to have a high enough concentration of HCG for it to be detected. Blood tests can detect much lower levels. Good luck!

I agree with Shelly! What is with this Doctor? You need to wait another week to two weeks to test again. Otherwise, do the blood test some place else. Good luck!
