Can anyone help me?? I am 2.5 weeks late, and i have taken 3 pregnancy tests and they are all clearly negative. I used First response. I spaced the tests out by a few days. I used morning urine as well. I am not having pregnancy symptoms either. I am having slight cramping but nothing else. I am on meds for chronic headaches so i am thinking that could interfere with my period. I have never been this late before. I am 16 so i am not able to tell my mom. I am so worried that i could be pregnant. I don't believe in abortion so that isnt an option if i am pregnant. I just need to know what i can do to find out if i AM in fact pregnant.

Hi, im 26, have been married for 3 years and my husband and I are TTC. I was on the pill for almost 10 years and stopped taking it in February 2008. My last proper period was on 9th May for 4 days which is my usual during a 28 day cycle. My last period was on 7th June but only lasted for 1 day. I visited the doctor on 17th June and he tested my blood count, thyroid and hormone count. They all came back clear. We tried again during my ovaulation period in June (after visiting the doctor) and my period was due on 5th July. I am now 5 days late and I have been having preg symptoms such as, missed period, naseau mid morning, swollen breasts, slight cramping/movement in lower abdomen, general feeling of something different, headaches, tiredness/exhaustion. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests (both different brands) a few days apart and both were negative. I am just wondering if there could be another reason to negative tests or if anyone else has been the same. I am due to visit the doctor on Thursday this week just to check and I have also ordered highly sensitive pregnancy tests from the internet so will try them as well. Heres hoping I am!

I am currently having the same symptoms lower pelvic cramping sore sensitive nipples and no AF, I also have PCOS so when I dont see AF im not surprised but this time it feels very different, but im just to afraid to take the HPT, I want a baby really bad so Im afraid it will be negative...

I have a weird situation and I would appreciate any advice. My husband and I have been married for three years we have been ttc since May. In may I went to the doctor and told her we wanted to TTC but I was concerned about my very irregular periods. I have been irregular since the stress of evacuating for Hurricane Katrina threw my cycle off. The doctor forced a period with progesterone and did a full blood panel. My cholesterol was high but all my hormones were normal. Since then I have been eating right and exercising and have lost weight. I also got a second opinion from my OBGYN at my yearly exam. He agreed that my hormones were good and decided stress cause the irregular periods. He also found precancerous cells on my cervix and froze them off in June. Once I got the all clear from that my husband and I began TTC. I have not had a period since May 21, 2008. This is unusual even for me. I have had cramping, shooting pains and dull aches in the breast, on and off nausea and leg craps. I also go in and out of feeling like I can smell a lot more than normal. I have taken a pregnancy test every few days and they are all negative but then two had faint positives. The doctors keep telling me to relax but I am very afraid that something is wrong. These doctors make me feel crazy. I saw these messages and I realized I am not totally alone. Does alone have any advice, could I be pregnant, should I talk to another doctor about my period issues, or should I just relax?

Hi there,

I've been reading this post because I have the symptoms similar to yours. I already have 2 kids and am not ready for a third one just yet.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with some of you from my 2 previous pregnancy.

I took us 5 months for my first kids and 8 months for the second.

I was having trouble trying to get pregnant the second time. After missing period for a week, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. My husband and I were excited! But a week later, my started breeding. It was Saturday and the urgent care doctor will not see me because I told them I maybe having a miscarriage. Luckilyu by chance, after hundreds of calling around, I finally found a OB that will see me. She said I have chemical pregnancy. Whatever it is. She later put me on Clomid. That didn't help. After a few months, we tried faterity specialist.

She diagnosed me with mild PCOS and was caused by unstable blood sugar level. This comes as no surprise as I always skipped lunch because I was too busy at work. In addition, I have family history of diabetes. As the result, she put me on Avandia (diabetes med) to help control my blood sugar eventhough I am not diabetic. Guess what after a couple month, boomed! I was pregnanted with and second child and a beautiful & healthy baby girl was born 9 months later.

Long story short, I would suggest those you who have/had bad diet habit and a family history of diabetes should at least have your doctor check your blood sugar level.

Good luck and baby dust to all who wish it.

hi. I read a lot of your posts and I can relate to most of you. I am 22 and I it had been a like a year since I had sex. I had sex with a friend of mine ONCE back in Aug. It was only one time and we used protection, but it was dark , no light when he put it on and I dont even know if he put it on right or if it broke, it is a possibility, the condom did not have spermicide on it. And I am on NO birthcontrol. anyway Well I did have a regular cycle it seemed, In Sept. I dont remember cause I hear a lot of woman having like bleeding for a few days then are still pregnant , I heard of many , but anyway. So..this month has been hell for me, for the past 2 weeks I have been having having cramps like crazy. On and off, I been really tired and having to go to the bathroom often. gaining a little bit of weight and also bloated and my breast are swollen and I just feel aweful right now. And this is not like me having all this crap. It sucks and I hate doctors but my chances of being pregnant are probably 50/50 cause I did use a condom and I did have bleeding in Sept. I just find it very weird that I would have these cramps and no period and it started so soon too. I will wait it out and see what happens. I just find it hard to believe i could get pregnant onetime. I am not trying to get pregnant nor do I want to be. But I dont know why i feel like this and i just want answers. I will keep you updated.


starlite86 - October 7th, 2008 5:27 PM

Oh and i forgot to mention I did have a bit of spotting today. but no period for this month! And I am not even suppose to have a period till like Oct. 10-11th. It is very weird.

Hi Ladies, I have found your thread and for some its 4 years since you commented on here - but were any of you pregnant with the symptoms you had?? im ttc and experiencing the same symptoms as the majority of you... x


autumnflower - April 24th, 2009 7:47 PM

ya, what happened? I'm having the same problems: cramps, late period, but negative tests....


sheria - June 23rd, 2009 10:51 PM

Just throwing my own experience out there.
I've been having cramps lately, but no period so I took a pregnancy test.
Indeed, I am pregnant. To fill you in, we thought I was pregnant a couple weeks ago, but it was too early to tell.
I just found out today that I am 4 weeks pregnant.


ayleria - July 1st, 2009 7:14 AM

Santinosmommy - July 4th, 2009 5:56 PM

Today I'm on day 23 of a 28 day cycle. And 7 DPO. And man- I have cramps going on. Should I be thinking- oh well I guess it's AF who's due to come here soon. Or look at it as hey maybe its a "sign". I have no idea. And comments on this???

~~~Happy 4th of July~~~

Ok, So this is a post that I wrote earlier today. Since then I just couldnt wait to take a HPT. So I took one and it was a BFN!! But however yes I've read the stories of how this is early to take one, I still had to! I'm due for AF this Thursday July 9th. Should I wait it out until the? Or try again in a couple of days?
When is the earliest that you could actually take a HPT and get a BFP????????

It sounds like when we stop taking birth control pills, we get similar symptoms as pregnancy. Anyway, I have been "dizzy" and have had some nausea for about a week. The nausea has gotten better (as if I had had a stomach virus). The dizziness is more when I first wake up, but seems to be getting better every day. My period is now due and I am cramping moderately as if I were on my period. My breasts are sore, but pregnancy test said negative. I'm going to take another PT by August 2nd to give my body time to see if I'm going to get a period or not, etc... fyi...I have a three-year-old and after I stopped taking the pills this time, all of my symptoms for about 3 months (every month) were very similar to my first pregnancy. This time around though, the symptoms are more severe and accompanied by dizzyness, headache, and nausea.

Hi ladies,
I feel it's important to post the last week of my life on this discussion. Early last week I had been looking for advice on backpain, late period,and negative pregnancy test results. My cycle is usually 30 - 34 days. I'm just back from my honeymoon. Two weeks ago I was having constant 'period pains' in my lower back. I went nowhere without my tampons. The backpain lasted 5 days but no Period. My sister commented on how I had my hands placed on my tummy the way heavily pregant women do. I was unaware I was doing it. So on day 33 I did a (clearblue)test. Result was negative. I entered every forum on the topic!! Day 36 I used the second test in the packet. I wasn't sleeping as well as I would usually, I kept dreaming I was pregnant but the result was again negative. On day 41 I bought a 'first response' pregnancy test. It was negative. I concluded that perhaps my 'honeymoon' long distance travel was contributing to my delayed period and disturbed sleep. I partied on day 43 at my friends wedding (Tampons in handbag) I believed that 3 negatives must mean I'm not pregnant, even though I went to bed mapping out when I would be due if I was pregnant!! Day 46. I had one 'clearblue' pregnancy test left so at 6.30am when I woke to go to the toilet, I did another test. Result read POSITIVE, a faint line but I've done enough test to know that if there is a faint line, there is a baby!! To confirm it, I did another test. This time a 'clearblue digital test.' There it had it... PREGNANT depicting 1-2weeks.

I wanted to share this news with you all as not many people post the confirmation of a positive after so many negatives.

Postitive thinking ladies x
