Pregnancy Info HOME

hi nickih!! please do keep us informed, im 9 days late for AF and still testing neg...

Hi again, as promised I am back with an update. Well after 6 days of taking Provera (progesterone) I have got my Period. Tomorrow it will have been 8 weeks since my lmp. The truth of the matter is, if I was pregnant, then I would not have got my period. So I am relieved. Eventhough I really really want a baby, I can handle not being pregnant when I get my AF after 32 days (which is normal for me) but what I cant handle is being 4 weeks late, getting negative blood and urine tests, and no sign of AF, but all the pg symptoms under the sun - which were probably all pms in hindsight. My doctor says it is really really common for women to miss a period every now and then and actually said that 8 weeks is nothing, its when it becomes months that is the issue (easy to say I know when we are the ones going through the am I/aren't I wait...very frustrating and feeling like a total idiot when you go to the doctor saying "I think I'm pregnant" only to get a BFN). So if I can give some advice, if your AF is starting to become weeks late and you are testing negative, i'm not saying to give up hope, but talk to your doctors about the hormone progesterone. If you really are pregnant then you will not get a period, and like I said in my last posting it is not harmful to your baby, its actually beneficial for pregnancy. To all the girls who are only a week late, sorry but its kinda too early to tell either way. There is still hope for you, I do know a girl who didn't test positive until 7 weeks, but if you get to that stage like me and are still testing neg both blood and HPT, then its time to start thinking about talking to a DR, because really, if you aren't pregnant, dont you want to get your AF out of the way so you can start trying again? We only get 12 chances a year, and when this happens, thats one chance less in a year that we have. Well for me its back to the drawing board. Hopefully next month will bring some better luck. Until next time, good luck to you all, I wish you all every success in your baby hopes xxx

This is my first time. Here goes my story... I got my period March 30th, then April 19th and now its 35 days and nothing … My normal cycle is 27 days. I took a pregnancy test with clearblue and its negative. Can I still be pregnant? Someone plz help.

Sammy do you mean its been 35 days since your last period started? If thats the case then it may be too early to tell. I guess the word "normal" is hard to apply to any of us, but it could be that you are just a few days late. Look at me I was 4 weeks late, and I normally have a 32 day cycle, do go figure? Have you been stressed out lately, alot of people dont realise the affects that stress actually has on your body, and it doesn't always happen at the time you are experiencing the stress, often its when its all over, and your body is more relaxed, then it kicks in. Are you trying for a baby? If so then like I said, it could just be too early to tell. I would test again in a week and go from there.

OK, here goes my story. I desperately need some advice. I took my birth control pills for 2 months straight to skip a period. Well afterward, I never got my period. I ALWAYS get my period on a wednesday following the hormone pills. SO I should have gotten it on Wednesday, May 17th, I took a pregnancy test on Friday, May 19th, negative, I took another one (Clear Blue Digital) on Tuesday, May 23, postive, then another one on Wednesday, May 24, morning, negative...went to the doctor, took a urine test, negative, and got the blood test back today, May 25th, Negative.... So I have been on birth control pills for 5 years, never had a problem with my period, and now I'm 8 days late....what do you ladies think?! Help please!!

I've been trying for 3 yrs. I've done the IVF, IUI, also ovulex. Thats why I wanted to know since i'm 10 days late and done 2 pregency test and they are all negitive. I have an apt with obgy next week for blood test. Hoping and praying.

I just calculated and I’m 10 days late... but I don’t have any pregnancy/period symptoms.... Is it possible to be pregnant and have NO symptoms at all?? Or maybe I’m just stress. I just wanted to say thanks ladies. It does help knowing I’m not alone in this and there are other ppl in a similar situation.

Its definately possible to be pregnant and have no symptoms, even if you are 10 days late. Some girls can go for 8 weeks with no symptoms, a close friend of mine is one of them. If you really want to know for sure, go to the doctor and take a blood test, its the only way you will know for sure. I don't trust HPT's. About coming off the pill, I;m a bit confused about what you are trying to say, have you been on the pill for the last 5 years, and is this your first month off the pill? If so, I can tell you that the pill does weird things to your body, I have been off for 2 years, and the first few months I went off my cycles were all over the place, some were long some were short. It took my body about 1 year to get back to regularity. Everyone is different, but I would say that this could well be a side effect of coming off the pill. If you have no period in a week try testing again, but blood tests are pretty accurate. Its not over till the fat lady sings (the fat lady being your period!)

nicki-sorry for the confusion. I am not coming off the pill...I just have been on the pill for the last 5 years and always been regular about getting my period. This time, I never got my period, therefore I didn't start taking a new pack like I normally would just in case.

i had a blood test on the 10 april hcg level 2. 26th april had a slight bleed for 2 days not enough to fill 1 pad.if that was my period not "normal" i should have been due 23-24 as of yet nothing. did a hpt test on the 24 neg did i test to soon?

kind of going through a weird thing here too... I've been on the pill for a few years now and have never messed it up. Until now. I took 2 months in a row to skip my period for an event I had to attend and when I got my period after that 2nd month it felt like it lasted forever. Anyway, 2 days after it was done I had s_x with my bf and just didn't think anything of it. I forgot to start the pill the next day which was 2 weeks ago. Figured I'd start the following sunday. that was memorial day weekend and completely forgot again. I've just been feeling gross all week, headaches, dizzy, total change in appet_te, everything smells bad... coincidentally I had my annual exam on thursday and told my doc that I'd screwed up my pill and would start again this coming week, she said I had to wait until after my next period to start up again, but as I was on the pill because of irregular cycles she said to wait until it should come and if it doesn't to take a test and start the following sunday if it's negative. hearing that made me panic and I went right to the store, got the test and it was positive. took another, positive. called the doc got a blood test and that was negative. this is all within 2 weeks of when I last got out of town to see the bf... Could I be pregnant and it be too soon for the tests? 2 positive hpt's and 1 negative blood. I also have had brownish discharge, not much at all just when I wipe (gross I know) yesterday and a little today, which is completely not normal for me. Any thoughts???

Well. I have read everyones story. All it has done is scare me a little more. This is my short story. Jan=period Feb=no period Mar=pd and no period since. So that makes me 2 months and like 18 days late. i took a hpt at a free clinic-neg. And then a blood test -neg. Then i read about the miscarriages at 8weeks. That scares me to death. I just thought that I had a lot of stress and that more than likely I would get it. I am really scared and I want to go to emergency to find out now. But, 4yr old son is asleep and husband wont be here tonight. God give me strength. I hope that if I am that the baby will be fine.

hi there i am so confussed and feel i need to talk to some one. Ok here is my very long frustrating story. It all started on the 25/05 i was having a strange sansation in my lower stomach and i felt really tired i also had very sore b___sts so on the 26/05 i decided to take a hpt it came back as a very faint possitive. The next day i got up to take another test but as i was on the toilet i started what looked like my period, so i thought that maybe the hpt could have been wrong. After a couple of hours something didnt feel right about the situation so i decided to ring the doctors. He told me that no matter how faint the hpt was it was a possitive and wouldnt have been wrong, he also said it sounded like i was having a misscarrage and to relax and take another test in 48 hours, if the test comes back a possitive then i havnt lost the baby. So on the 29/05 i took the test and it came back negative, i was devistated at the fact i had lost a baby. The next day something was telling me i needed to do another test so i did, it came back possitive , so as you can imagine i was very confused and scared. on the 30/05 i decided to go to the doctors and she did another urine test and it was negative so she decided to send my urine off to the lab to be tested there aswell, when i got home i took another test and that also was possitive. I called the doctors on the 1/06 and they said that the test had come back from the lab as a negative, and once again i was devistated and extreamly confussed. I decided to go back to the doctors and talk to her. She requested a blood test, so i went to the hospital to have it done and they said it would be back by the next day. I called the next day and the results werent back so told to cal back on 05/06 which is today. When i called this morning they said that the doctors hadnt yet seen the results so they couldnt tell me. I now have to wait until 4pm today to get them. Its really getting me down i feel so depressed about everything, i just want to know one way or another. If the blood test results come back negative do i have the right to request a scan because i know from reading the storys on here that blood results can be wrong. PLEASE HELP

Yes you can have a negative... if its too early to tell. Wait a couple of weeks and then have a blood test again.

Shanana, blood test can be wrong.. When my friend was pregnant.. She did a blood test a week after she missed her period and the test was negative but she had done home pregnancy test and it was positive. Btw she was pregnant ... its just it was too soon for the blood test.

well ive now been told that my blood test came back as unlikely to be pregnant, but the midwife at my doctors sugery has arranged for me to see her as she is cla__sing it as a pregnancy. She says once she has seen me she will arrange for me to have a scan at the hospital to see what the hell is going on. So now i have to wait until the 15th of this month to find out anything further.
