Period A Week Late But Negative Pregnancy Test

ellenlynn - February 12

I wish I had some advice for everyone, but unfortunately I don't and I'm in the same boat to boot. My husband and I have been using Clomid with Estrogen and Progesterone and have followed doctor's orders to a tee. I took my test on day 28 and it was negative. Still no period and it is day 34. I, like so many of you, feel the nipple soreness, tiredness and something going on down there. I'm starting to wonder if I'm creating it since we want this so badly. Anyway, my period has never, ever been late and I've been on Clomid before. The last time I took it the only time I was late was when we were pregnant. However, I had a positive test on day 29. Unfortunately we lost her at 13 weeks to Trisomy 13 and 18. I called the doctor and they won't give me a blood test until next week. Ug...it is sooo frustrating and I'm driving my husband nuts (we have been snowed in all week in Northern VA, which is just giving me way too much time to think about it). What would be great is to hear are stories of women that had a negative pregnancy test a week or so after their AF was due and went on to have healthy babies. Good luck to all!! Ellen

I'm in the same boat, my periods about 10 days late now, i've been experiencing cramping in my abdomen for the past two weeks, i've been unbeleivably tierd, i've felt a little nausea,swollen b___sts, I took a hpt last night and it was negative, this motning the test didn't work, so my results were no good.

I'm going to try to run through this as best I can, hope it makes sense. Okay, I took a couple hpt's when I was almost a full week late, both negative. Today I'm was a week and a half late, but it came. Which I was thrilled about. But the whole thing's got me freaked so I've been doing a lot of reading, and read this on wikipedia: "These signs [of pregnancy] include the presence of...implantation bleeding that occurs at implantation of the embryo in the uterus during the third or fourth week after last menstrual period." And it's now five weeks since my last period. So that got me worried obviously that this isn't my period. However 4 weeks ago I did get put on a new birth control, and starting out on birth control has messed up my cycle before and I tested negative. Hopefully someone who understands this better than I do can help me out a little. The anxiety this is bringing is breaking me down. Perhaps I am so freaked that I'm making something out of nothing, but I know that that anxiety won't go away until I get a result that's water-tight. Thanks

im also late by 12 days possible to fall preggers 3 days before your due? i have been on the pill but stopped it 3 days before period due. I was due and was 2 days late then i just got spotting for 2 days which isnt normal for me as im usually on time for my period and it goes normally for 5-7 days. Now im due again and now late by 12 days i have taken home pregnancy test but they all came up negative. I have thrown up once in the morning and have broken out in alot of pimples my skin is never this bad i have also had a green like mucus only once though. Have been feeling nausea. Also went through a week where i was constantly peeing. Is it possible that i am pregnant?

Just to let you all know what happened to me...I was one week late for my period when I took a HPT (I took it in the evening, after drinking some, but not a TON of water). It came back very clearly negative. I waiting another week and then did a qualitative HCG blood test- which came back positive. Best of luck to all of us...

I had unprotected s_x with my boyfriend after i had stopped taking my birth control for about a month, i took two pregnancy tests and both came up negative, then i started taking my pills again and after 4 days of taking them we had unprotected s_x again, multiple times in the same night. I've been throwing up in the morning for the past 3 days, cramps, headaches, weight gain and i'm now late on my period by 4 days. Am i pregnant ?

 

mlls1227 - March 30

Ok, so I am having the same problem as everyone else. My husband and I have been ttc for the past 4 month. My cycle is 30 days long normally. Like most people, I a__sumed I was ovulating around day 14. To be on safe side I used one of the home ovulation test and it showed that I was basically ovulating at day 23. My period is only 4 days late, but I have been extremely tired, having daily headaches and abdominal/ lower back pain cramping, moody, and my b___st are tender and the overall "feeling" of being pregnant. I have since taken 2 hpt that were both clearly negative. Could it just be too soon to detect the hormone level? So frustrating because my PMS symptoms are very similar....

 

Shanmac801 - April 4

I am in the same boat. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 6 mos. now with no luck. Every month I hate the disappointing Not Pregnant sign. They told me to use an ovulation kit this month and track when I ovuklated. I bought the kit. Took the 7 tests-one a day beginning Day 12-18 and nothing showed. Now I am a week late with two negative pregnancy tests. Could it have just been later ovulation? I feel like I am just wanting it to be positive so bad that I am pushing it to be positive. I don't know who ever said this was a fun process because I definately don't feel like it is. Anyone else feel the same?

Well, I am in the same boat as most of you. I am a week late and still nothing. I have had cramps and bloating for the past week, wake up every day thinking for sure AF will be here and nothing. I have been using the dollar tree (new choice) tests pretty much on a daily basis and all I get is negatives, negative, negative! I had two come back that had a very faint line, then got a tad darker after the "time limit", then faded again to barely nothing so I'm guessing they were evap lines, even though the same tests before that showed absolutely nothing! We use the pull out method, so I would think that the chances of me being pregnant are very slim, its just unusual for me to be this late, im going on cd 40!!!

pipsmom - April 7

So, I found this forum and it intrigued me, as I am experiencing a rather similar situation. My ob/gyn put me on the three month birth control in Nov. 2009. It never worked, I kept getting my regular periods. In Feb. 2010 I started bleeding on the 22nd. I called my Dr. and she told me to go off of the pills for awhile and to let myself bleed. So that's what I did. I had the period for 7 days with regular bleeding. My boyfriend left for his second tour of duty in early March and we spent one last weekend together doing....well I'm sure you understand what we were doing :). We didn't use protection - never really thinking that we needed any. I left him Sun. 3-6. On Thu. 3-11 I started spotting. It was just some very light pinkish/brownish/reddish spotting that lasted for about 3 days. I did use tampons and even if I would leave them in for over 4 hours, I'd take them out and there would still be white on them. That's how little the bleeding was. I wasn't quite sure what this was. Shortly after that I started feeling "not right". My stomach wouldn't tolerate any food at all. The nausea started and I was throwing up after every meal. I started having to go to the bathroom ALL the time. My b___sts started feeling very heavy and my nipples hurt really bad. I also started having this clear/whitish mucous-type discharge. In addition to this, I started having those "before you start your period" cramps. I just thought I was going to start my period. Well, I should've started my period on 3-22; it has yet to start. I work in a lab, so I took 3 blood pregnancy tests. All of them had the same conclusion; they came up negative at first, and then within 20 minutes or so a faint positive line would come up. I read through the informational packets that come with the tests and they said that lower levels of the hcg hormone will show up after the allotted time. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to think. My plan was to wait it out to see if my period starts, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I'm thinking I will wait until the first part of May and, if the situation is still the same, I will go into my doctor and ask for an ultrasound. I know that nothing will show up on an ultrasound til around 6-7 weeks. I have also heard of some women not being able to get a positive pregnancy test until way later in their pregnancies. Please let me know what you think as any advice would be greatly appreciated at this time!

H_hayles - April 12

It's very rea__suring to know that I'm not the only one going through this. My period is 4 days late, my nipples are so sensitive that I can't wear a bra and I feel very nauseous. Went to the doctor this morning who did a urine test and said it was negative but I should come back in a week to do another test. I really don't know how I feel about this. My only concern is to get my nipples to stop hurting.

 

wittbabe85 - April 13

I've been reading this thread since yesterday and finally decided to sign up! I am having the SAME situation occur. Back in November, my husband and I got married and we stopped using protection. I've gotten my period, like clockwork exactly when I am supposed to ever since then except for this month! I've never missed a period since I was 10 (and I'm 24 now!) Around Easter, when I was supposed to have my period..I had all the cla__sic PMS symptoms and the Friday before had a tiny bit of spotting--it was so little and so quick that only the very end of my tampon had a tiny spot of blood on it and then BAM..nothing. Now--I'm a girl who usually has such horrible periods that I have ridiculously heavy flow AND cramps that cause me to curl up for the entire first two days. So this was very odd and has never happened. I go about my business until Friday when I realized--wait a second..i never had a period. I checked my ovulation calendar which also tracks my periods for me rather accurately (based on previous doc_mented periods) and sure enough, April 2nd I was supposed to have my period. I know my body extremely well--I know I went through my ovulation, etc..I just never received my period. But I've also been experiencing all the signs of pregnancy (which I also know many correlate towards PMS) Exhaustion, sensitive/sore nipples, heavy b___sts, moody (I can cry at the drop of a hat recently and have! I cried reading my kindergarten students the end of a book!), odd hunger, mild cramps as if I could start my period at any time, even had milky white discharge--almost like lotion. Still no period though! And starting yesterday, I started to experience such bad nausea that my husband had to pull the car over because I threw my dinner up! Today..got sick and lost my lunch too. I have scheduled a doctor's appt for tomorrow because another complication has seemed to come into the mix--I either have a UTI or my peeing every five seconds is from pregnancy! Either way--all of these symptoms and a period MIA for 12 days isn't okay in my book and I want answers! SO--please cross your fingers, I would LOVE and I mean absolutely LOVE to be pregnant but if not--I just want some answers to all of this. I wish each one of you luck in your journey and I promise to update tomorrow after I get some answers, etc! :)
