Am I Pregnant - West Chester,OH

HI S. my heart goes out to you !! I just went through this last week..my periods are very regular every 28 days...I started taking hpt about 4 days before my period was "supposed" to start and everyday I got a negative...I had symptoms but they are the same as pms so I waited and went to the dr at 3 days late and requested a blood test...it was negative and my period came 6 days late and it was worse than ever very heavy and clotty! :( so I understand what this uncertainty can bring...call your dr a simply blodd test can tell you for sure in less than 24 hrs....and put your mind at ease....I am hoping with you for a positive and sending sticky baby dust your way!!! Good luck! oh bty fertility friend.com and babyzone .com have ovulation calendars f.friend is very good and can tell you when you ovulate if you bbt...hth !
S.

There are many things that can cause your period to not be regular, stress included. Since you are typically regular, you shouldn't go into a panic wondering if something is wrong with your cycle. Now, if this continues for another month or you don't get another period, then you should probably alert your doctor. It is completely normal for someone to have a single episode of a 'problem period'.

Wait another week, take another test. If you still need some more peace of mind then schedule an appointment to get a blood test.

I would wait a few more days or a week and retest. When I got pregnant last year the first round of tests came back negative. Then about a week later they were positive. So it could be the hormone level isn't high enough yet because you are just pregnant. I also agree with the other response. Sometimes stress can stall you starting your period. If your tests are still negative I would contact your dr. Good luck to you.

Hi S.,

Stress of trying to get pregnant can delay your period. The first thing the body does with an anerexic is stop periods. If the body is starved, it automatically refuses the possibility of a baby for it would be famished.

With that being said, I tested negative with my son for a while. I was about 3 weeks late when I finally tested positive. Don't aske me about the wonder of the human body, although there was a baby, the pregnancy test wouldn't read the HCG and this could also be true with blood tests.

I'd suggest you force yourself not to think about it for 2 weeks, then retest.

Anything is possible as far as pregnancies but one thing is sure, worrying about it can literally prevent you from ovulating and therefore, from having a period ;)

I always made a doc appointment and had a blood test to show the true results.
