Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey Tera I am also late for my period ad i went to my doctor to get a tests done and to see if i was pregnant but she told me to wait till it two weeks or more than take a pregnancy test and if its neg. come and and see her. so i would try and do thats what i did!! So maybe that will help you a little bit i hope. She was telling me that if you wait more than two weeks you are most likely to be pregnant!! Well i hope i helped you a little!! AND THIS GOES OUT TO ALL THE GIRLS AND BOYS THAT HAVE GIRLFRIENDS THAT THINK THEY R PREGNANT!! I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ALL! !

Hi Everyone. As has been said before, glad to know I'm not the only one. Even tho I know all the reasons I could be l8 with a -tive hpt, I'm still searching for that 1 pg on the web that says "its wrong, you're pregnant!". No such luck tho. I'm a week late, 3 -tive hpt's, bin trying for 7 months. And been trying a whole lot more over the time I would've ovulated this month. And feel pregnant. But without that proof I can't let myself get 2 xcited. To wewantbaby#2 - hope I'm wrong for you, but think the amount of hgc is down to the mother, not the baby, so if it worked b4, should work again. Doesn't mean you're not preg tho.

My period was due January 15, 08. I've done 4 hcg tests and all negative. However I've never done one that was first morning because I can't hold my pee that long. Could I still be pregnant? I have sore back and very sensitive nipples..

Okay, So I need any responses or past experience from anyone out there in a similar situation as me... For the past 6 months or so, I've been fudging on the Pill and not being 100% good with it, but that is okay, as me and my hubby have decided to go off the pill as of this last cycle. I tried during the most fertile times, twice daily. ;o) My LMP was on Xmas 2007, as of the 22nd of Jan., I am late. I've taken 2 HPT's and 1 at the Dr., all negative. The Dr. wrote the whole thing off and told me that it was neg. and that I should try again, it hurt to hear that the test was neg., but I still FEEL the same, so this did not ease my mind. My body feels different than it ever has, I am so nauseas, cramping & pains without bleeding, tired, loss of appet_te, cranky and b___st soreness... and my lower abdomen feels firm, almost constricting like I'd been doing stomach crunches, but not. As mentioned, I feel like I never have before, almost like I'm about to start, and then nothing. I'd love to be pregnant, though I guess I should almost wait it out until Tues. or Wed. of next week and do a blood test? Any help or advice from people who have been in this position would be GREATLY appreciated.

I'm in the same boat. Day 43 in a 31 day cycle. had a couple pos hpts & neg quant blood test last week. Still no AF. What I want to know is the outcome of these other ladies who are/have experienced this. Thanks

yes

Amy - what was your experience? Did you eventually start?

hey everyone! if my period doesn't come tonight then i will be 2 weeks late as of tomorrow. I've taken two home pregnancy tests and went to planned parenthood and had a test there, and everything came out negative. my periods are usually pretty regular. I am 21 years old and my boyfriend and i are not ready to have a baby. i haven't had any sympoms other than a late period. i also don't have any insurance so i am afraid i can't afford getting a blood test at the doctor. i'm so confused, scared, and impatient!! what is going on?

Jackson1 - I know how you feel. I had my 1st child at 20. I had no idea I was pregnant & found out during my annual. They did a urine test & it was pos. I think I was about 8 weeks along at that time. I can't remember if I was late or not though! It's been 10 years ago! If you've been having unprotected s_x there's always a possibility. However, it's probably more likely that you miscalculated your period or ovulated late. Also take note if you've been under added stress this cycle prior to being late. Here is what I would suggest: 1. If your period doesn't show up in the next week, go to your local clinic & have an annual. Also request a blood test at that time. There should be a community health action agency that will provide this service for free. 2. Try to relax...I know it's cliche but it's true. The hpt's are probably right. 3. From this point forward do not have unprotected s_x. If you're not ready for a child, don't put yourself in that position. It's not fair to your b/f, the child & definitely yourself. Condoms aren't expensive & charting your cycle is free. Go to fertility friend & it'll give you all the info you need to learn about your cycle. When you're most fertile & when you're not. Plan having s_x around your least fertile times. Use condoms as a backup. Keep us posted...everything will be fine.

mrsmtree, thank you so much. it really does help to talk to other people about it. i have only had s_x twice since my last period, and we always use a condom. (sorry if this is too much information, it probably is) but before he put the condom on, he might have gone inside a tiny bit but i always tell him to stop. i know that prec_m can still cause a woman to get pregnant so that is the only thing i can think of that we weren't careful about. i can't take birth control because both my grandma and mom had b___st cancer and that was the cause of my grandma's cancer. i know that a lot of it could be stress. i wasn't stressed a whole lot before my period started but as soon as it was a couple of days late i started getting really stressed, and now it's all i can think about!! how do i find a community health action agency in my area? i went to planned parenthood but i think it still costs around $100 for an annual and they don't do any bloodwork. thanks again for your help! p.s. i just took another pregnancy test this morning that was negative.

You're welcome! Try the phone book and look under the government section. It should have something about a health clinic or an action agency. You can also call your local social services office and they may be able to give you information on the closest office. It is different from planned parenthood. Don't worry about the TMI. I've heard and seen a lot in my 30 years and nothing much surprises me anymore! lol...Glad to hear you are taking precautions! Yes, the "predrip" can cause pregnancy. That's how both of mine were conceived. That's not a typical situation though. Either one or both partners need to be quite fertile for that to occur. So, I know in "the heat of the moment" it's hard to stop and cover but it'll save a lot of stress in the long run. You can both make slipcovering the couch fun too so it's not a chore...ahem. I do not take b/c either. My husband & I use condoms and family planning. So I understand especially since ur family has a negative history w/it. And I still haven't started either! It's all I think about and I'm married w/2 kids! It does help to just talk about it sometimes. I imagine that a test would've showed pos by now. You probably just ovulated late. Look into the health clinic so you can get an exam to rule out anything else. Glad to hear that test was neg since that's what you want right now. I'll bet you start in the next day or two!

mrsmtree- good news. i think i started my period today. i had really bad cramps and i'm not bleeding a whole lot but my periods are usually pretty light. i think i did a little too much research, so i feel like nothing is going to convince me that i'm not pregnant...with all of the talk of women "spotting" while they are pregnant and everything. i think it's safe to a__sume that i'm not pregnant but i will still keep you updated! i hope that something happens with you soon so that you know what's going on! i know exactly how you feel.

Hi Jackson! I wrote a response a while back but I kept getting error messages and gave up! Just checking in to see if that was your period or not. I still haven't started. I just started charting temps and such and it looks like I may have just ovulated in the last day or two. So it looks like another week or two for me before I start!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to update...I posted about two months ago! I think I was having ovulation problems..so I thought....my period was late ...but finally came...neg htp.... didn't try in dec...tried again this month...ovulation strips I did didn't show I ovulated...day 16 of my cycle..started spotting again..brown...just like when I was having ovulation problems....thought for sure I didn't ovulate again...then....took bld preg. test....way too early I think..it was neg.....then six days later after day 15 of my cycle...I am pregnant!~~~ very early ....just thought I would let you know...don't give up hope if it turns out negative at first!!!! and there is a fabulous website...I ordered ovulation strips and pregnancy tests...(way more sensitive than what you can buy over the counter...I found out 6 days past ovulation......!!! They are like .92 each!!!!! If you test everyday like me..lol...you can save lots of money!!! Early-pregnancy-tests.com ...baby dust to all!!!! Keep your fingers crossed !!!! rachel

Rachel - congratulations! how exciting! I had a hard time following your post. So you had a late period that finally started in Dec, then another regular period in Jan. Then you TTC in Feb while detecting ovulation (which was apparently successful!). Then found out you were pregnant before you were supposed to start this cycle? Just want to be sure I got that correctly! LOL

Hello, I have a similar problem. Last period Jan 17, suppose to have the next on Feb 13 and it's 6 days left. I am freaking out b/c one of the tests i took was positive and the next 2 negative. I have no clue what to do. I think I have to go for the blood test.
