Pregnancy Info HOME

I am 21 years old. My period is a week and 4 days late. I am experiencing nausea, swollen b___st, tiredness, discharge the whole nine yards...... I have taken 2 hpt's both came back negative. Based on the date of the beginning of my last period, if I were pregnant I would be almost 6 weeks now, Is that not early enough to detect it? What should I do??

Katie... I was in the same boat you are. I was about 2 weeks late when I tested and it was negative, but I was sick, sore breats, all of it and I put my dates together and it told me I would be about 11 weeks. When I went into my OB after I got a positive they did an ultrasound and I was only at 6 weeks, so never rely on the dates. You could be pregnant and it could be very early, so you can't tell. Give it a little more time and try again in about a week. Maybe it'll show up by then.

Thanks Heather I will. I guess I didn't think about it that way.

Hi all, I am 3 days late (not long I know) however I have taken tests, clear blue, first response all too expensive and come back negative I have just booked an appoitment with my GP for monday 8th dec for a BT. I feel pregnant, However I also want to be pregnant, and maybe its my mind playing games with me! does anyone else have the same problem? has anyone had a good outcome. I just want to know or my P to arrive so I can have a fresh chance.....

I am currently about a week late. I had a m/c on July 7th at 6 weeks. I had slight cramping a couple weeks ago and noticed very slight pink when I wiped one day around that time. Husband and I have been trying since the m/c but don't want to get our hopes up. I have been more tired than usual (hard to go some days without a nap), my sense of smell is in high gear, my nipples are sore, my appet_te has been way off lately, I have been feeling bloated, and have mild cramping the past couple days. I have taken 3 hpt's and all came out negative. It really puts me at ease to see that many other women with symptoms similar to mine have also not tested positive right after a missed period. Will take another test next week. Good luck everyone!

I also want to add that I've been having frequent mild headaches and some bad lower back pain lately too.

Hey girls, I am soo glad I found this site I am 6 days late and have been really nauseas and today I slept 12 hours! I dont think ive EVER slept that long in my entire life! I have had like a white discharge for the last week or so and some days are heavier than others. I havent had like period cramps but I have had a little I guess you could say b___terfly feeling in my lower abdomen. Ive been so emotional lately, like crying for no or stupid reasons. I have never been late on my period before. So heres the catch, I have taken 2 hpt, one two days before my period was due and one 3 days after I was late and they were both BFN I also had a blood test about a week BEFORE my period was due and that too was a BFN. I have a DR. appt on the 19th and I am going to take a HPT again on fri. If that is NEG and I dont start by the following wed. I will take one on Wed. and IF that is a BFN then I will just wait till my dr appt that friday. Just wondering if anyone has had these symptoms and gotten a BFN and still been PG?

Hello everyone. I'm really confused and not sure what's going on. I'm currently 1 week late and I've taken 5 HPT(all negative) and I went to the doctor today and he gave me a UPT but it was negative as well. I thought he'd give me a blood test but he didn't. I've never missed a period before and I'm not on any birth control. The doctor wrote me a prescription for some type of hormone, which I really don't feel comfortable taking, but he told me to wait a few more weeks and if my period doesn't come, take another HPT and if it's still negative, start taking the hormones and I should get a period. My only concern is that I've read enough posts on this website to know that it may be a strong possibility that I'm pregnant and it just didn't show up. I don't want to take any meds that can potentially harm a baby if I'm pregnant. I'm laying low for right now and hoping that I get my period . I would just like to know what's going on with me so I can move on with my day to day life.

Hi all, like many posts on this forum I'm seven days late, have symptoms such as headaches, cramps, more tired than usual (which is saying something for me!), Splitting headaches, nausea especially around 2-3.00pm, back ache, I feel like I've started then when i investigate nothing there, have taken a pregnancy test, which was negative, this only stressed me more and I keep crying at the slightest thing, I spoke to my mother the other day just to say hi and burst into tears on her, she, along with my boyfriend think I've gone mad.. I'd just like to say it's nice to know I'm not alone with these symptoms and I'm not going mad So a BIG THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has posted It really has calmed my nerves, I will take another Pregnancy Test and book a DRs appointment soon. Thanks again

Hi elle87, I just wanted to post my story as well because I see that there are so many confused women out there. Today I went to the doctor because for the last week or so Ive been searching online.. confused about why I haven't started my period. My last period started on Thanksgiving nov 27. I usually have a pretty regular cycle 28-30 days. Either way today was day 40 since I had last started. I went to the doctor and immediately the areas he wanted to explore was the possibility of diabetes, thyroid, or some testosterone problem. He wasnt even interested in whether or not I might be pregnant since I have tried 5 HPT's and my answer was negative all 5 times. I have been feeling cramps in my abdomen, been having a clear pretty excessive discharge, and sore b___sts, I have been more moody and emotional then i have in my entire life. Crying uncontrollably for the most unjust reasons. My boyfriend has suffered considerably from my irate reactions. Anyway Im going to go in for blood tests to make sure Im not suffering from any of the above.. but I still feel like these diagnosis.. cant explain what ive been feeling. My body is definitely going through something so i did of course request a blood test for pregnancy too. Hopefully soon my mind will be at peace. This is one of the hardest things ive been through and im sad that there are so many women just as confused as I am. So I wish you all the best of luck and just incase your period does not show, I suggest exploring all options just so you know everything is okay. And I will post an update on what is REALLY going on with me.

I am kinda freaking out. I am 15 days late and I have taken 3 hpt and they all are negative. I am never this late. I dont really feel any symptons, but not really sure if it would be too early. My boyfriend is being deployed to the middle east in two weeks so I am dying to know if I am so we can find out before he leave... What should I do??

I posted back in early December and just wanted to update everyone. I still haven't gotten a period and my Dr. ran some tests on me and she thinks it may be polycystic ovarian syndrome. She said with some hormones it should jumpstart my system again. I learned that my mom also has PCOS and she never had any problems or miscarriages with it so I'm hopeful that when the time is right my husband and I will be able to have a healthy baby.

Well it's taken me a while, but i've finally got through all of these posts!! Lol. It put a HUGE smile on my face when i read of those who eventually got there BFP (pos) Well i'm on day 35 of my cycle. Technically 7days late. My cycles can sometimes be 28days, usually around 34 days - give or take a day or 2. I have also once had a cycle that was 47days!!!! HOWEVER..this month i just feel soooooo different. Me & my husband have been TTC for a year, so i know what's it like to wish every month that this is the month & "create" symptoms. This month i just "feel" pregnant! I have had VERY vivid dreams - very unusual for me! & Lots of them dreams actually been about being pregnant! Last nights dream i went all the way from taking my tests to actually giving birth in my dream!!! I have been eating loadssssss! I usually have a VERY small appet_te! I full bloated all the time, but it's not really making me uncomfortable, it's just there! & i have this nagging gut feeling that i just can't shake! I took my first test 5dyays ago, which was neg. I didn't take it with FMU though & only tricked! (sorry if TMI) The next day i got some VERY light brownish/clear spotting, but only when i wiped which lasted 2days, but was not there all the time during the second day. (implantation bleeding??) This would have been around the time i was expecting my period. I'm going to take another test tomorrow so i'll let you know how i get on! I'm actually living out in Turkey at the minute (Turkish husband) Although we are returning to the UK at the end of next month. If i havn't gotten my period by next weekend, & still getting negative results, i'm going to go to the hospital here - they tend to be pretty good & look at every option. Baby dust all around!

Hello, I am currently 9 days late and I am normally regular. I stoped taking my birth control in Sept of 08 about 4 months ago and got regular periods. I should have gotten my period on jan 20th and nothing yet. I tested after the 4th day and (-). Today is now day 9 and nothing. I kinda feel some symptoms,but i feel like there is a reason for the things that are happening. I am really tired, but i also get up for work at 4:30 am so anyone would be tired getting up that early, I do feel sick to my stomach sometimes but notihng too major, b___bies kinda hurt but again not sure if it's reall y in my head. I dunno. Im going to test again on saturday which will be day 11 of the missed period. I wonder noe though becuase the first time i tested i was like 1 in the afternoon so it was probably diluted. I hate thinking that it all in my head..help???

Well before i had a chance to take my second test AF showed her ugly head! :( It's not a normal period though! Very light & not painful at all! I usually start off very heavy & have ALOT of very painful cramping during the first day or two! Well it showed lastnight & now today it is still really very light & kind of redish brown in colour. (sorry if TMI) So i'm still holding that little bit of hope! I just feel so different this last month! I'm not telling myself i am deff preg, cos it could most likely be that i'm not. But there is still a very big part of me that is thinking "what if?" I will keep u all updated with me as time goes by...

Mrs. Cinar - if your "period" is not normal then its a good chance its not a period at all. I wouldn't discount pregnancy just yet. Anyways, as for myself, this is the second time I have had all of the symptoms in the book but have gotten negative hpts. The first time was back in Aug 08 and AF was a week and a half late - when it finally did come it was worse than usual. I read that in this particular instance, it was most likely an early miscarriage that hadn't expelled itself yet. Negative hpts were because I had miscarried early but AF a week and a half late because these things take a while. (My sister miscarried at 9 weeks and they waited over a month after that for it to expell before they finally went in and did a DNC.) This time around the symptoms are actually worse. I've gotten 2 hpts so far but I'm still taking care of myself because I don't believe them. I've heard many times of women being 3 months in before they even got a positive blood test! I want to tell all of you ladies and rea__sure myself, go with your intuition! The test may say no, but you know your body better than anyone! I never EVER get pms symptoms - no cramping, no moodiness, no bloating or tender b___sts.... And the only thing I ever get during AF is a sore back. If one more person tells me its just PMS, I'm going to smack them! lol
