Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm also 8 days late. I've been off birth control for about 6 months now and although I have a long cylce (35 days) I've been consistent and gotten my period every 5th week always on a wed. My husband and I are not "trying" so he pulls out now that I'm off the pill. Has anyone ever gotten pregnant using this method? I know it's possible. I don't really have too many other symptoms, (a few headaches and occasional pain in one b___st) but I don't have my usual PMS symptoms either. I've taken 3 tests over the past week, the last one being this morning, and they all came up negative. I talked to a nurse at my OBGYN and they said to wait one more week before testing again. Can anyone give me any advice? Now I'm hoping I am pregnant!

I also took a pregnancy test today; negative. Over a week late, all symptoms; tender b___st, cramping, strange cravings ... not sure what to do, maybe I'll try to take it in the morning. Are the results more accurate this way?

Hey Cara, my sisters friend got pregnant using this method, so yes it is possible.. now im 8 days late, and no sign of getting my period...

Im 5 days late and took 3 tests all negative have never been late on period before could i be pregnant but hcg is very low.

If you get a negative HPT result, don't rule pregnancy out. I spoke to the doctor this morning and she said it doesn't mean your not pregnant. She has known of cases where it has taken up to 3 months to show on a HPT, she said the only way to know is a blood test. I have made an appointment for Friday *fingers crossed*

Well, I was 14 days late. I had alot of pregnancy symptoms. I got my period on Saturday. I'm happy that it came. I'd rather not be pregnant and have my period than go through the scared waiting game waiting for a HPT to come back positive and not have my period. Good luck to you all!

hi everyone.i am having the same problem as all of you.my periods started a week late.but i had the signd of prenancy.but my pregnancy tests were negative.and i also had very heavy bleeding on the first.what should i do?we are trying for a baby but i am not sure if i am pregnant.can anybody help me out?

I got a positive! I had a little feeling like my body has changed. I have had no b___b soreness, felt a little queezy, have been extremely bloated, a couple of headaches (unusual for me). My period was due 11 days ago on Oct. 20 and I kept getting negative preg tests until today. I used a fact plus preg test.

CONGRATS CAT!!!! :) I still havent got my period...I feel sick today and have cramps like I have my period, but I don't. I'm going to ask to go home sick from work :(

CONGRATULATION CAT!!!! My period was due on Oct. 21 and 3 negative test (last one on 27th). I still havent got my period. Today I have a headache, sore b___sts and I feel I could sleep day and night ...

I was supposed to start my period on October 21, but no show so far! I am hoping to be pregnant...it's such an unnerving wait! But, all of your comments are so rea__suring, especially in this wait to see if I'm going to be a mommy! My husband and I get so dissapointed with every single line, negative sign, single dot, etc. Good luck to you all, and no worries! The wait will make a positive wonderful when it comes, whether this month or in the months to come! So, here's to something to look forward to! I will keep you posted.

Me too ladies....My af was due on 10/21, dh & I have been ttc since my m/c in Aug. I'm hoping for a BFP also. Went to my dr yesterday who said that maybe I o'd later than usual and that's why af hasnt showed or maybe I didnt O at all. I have to go for all these bloodtests to check my levels and then from there he prescribed prometrium for af to arrive. Cat, Congratulations ...It's great to hear success stories from people who have been through the same thing.

I am now 8 days late. But, let's start with a lil bit of history... I should have been ovulating around the 10th of Oct. But I didn't have s_x then. I did have s_x (lots and lots of it) the weekend of 21-23 because my bf was in town. I do not believe in medications (unless they are life saving) and so I don't take birth control pills. We have been using the rythym method and withdrawl. My periods have been normal but more painful since July. I have never been more than a day or two late and I have NEVER missed a period. I can tell when my body is ovulating by the cervical discharge and I thought I ovulated normally in Oct. I was supposed to have AF on 10-24-05. When I didn't get it by 10-26-05 I started to wonder. I didn't start to think I was pg (denile) until 10-30-05 when I walked by pumpkins at the grovery store and almost vomited. I have never thought pumkins smelled bad before...nor have I noticed a pumpkin smell when one wasn't cut open. Since then I started paying attention to other things...I keep getting heartburn (I never get heartburn), I wanted to eat peanut b___ter and cheese (not together), I have slight cramps like AF is coming and a moist feeling. I noticed that I have an increase in cervical discharge (for this portion of my "cycle") and it is similar to the same when I am ovulating. I feel hot and actually slept nude last night because I was so uncomfortable. Some smells are making me feel sick and I could smell someone's leather jacket from about 200 feet away. I also have these symptoms: Feeling Tired / Sluggish, Dizziness and/or Fainting (but that was going on before all this), Irritability, Acne, sharp pain left ovary once night, Waking up early (3-5am), Sensitive to sight of things that smell bad, my b___sts are a little tender but the usually are before AF. I have not had any vomiting but I sure feel like it several times a day. I also have a bad taste in my mouth. I guess if I am pg I am only a 10 days along, but I took a hpt and it came back negative. My bf is convinced I am pg...and I will be surpirsed if it turns out I am not. I am not too sure what I should do at this point...I have no desire to keep spending money on hpt but I do have one more left.I also put in a call to my holistic doc and my PCP. Still waiting to hear back from them.

I just heard back from my PCP who told me "it is impossible" for me to be pregnant. However, I have been reading many other stories on this board about docs missing it and NOT listening to the patient. I made it very clear to her that I NEVER miss a period and she said that she thinks I missed it because I am stressed about it...doesn't make sense to me because I wasn't stressed about it until Sun...and it was already 6 days late then. I have been under WAY more stress than this in my life...in fact I am proabably less stressed out then ever...so the whole "stress is making me miss my period" thing...I'm not buying it. I also DO NOT trust traditional docs so I will wait to hear from my holistic doc...he actually listens to what I have to say and doesn't try to push me out the door. Any advice or suggestions would be appreaciated.
