Pregnancy Info HOME

I forgot to include that I had taken a pregnancy test today, and it came out negative. Should I be worried? What else could a late period mean if none of the reasons of a late period apply to me?

HI, I wondered if any of you could offer some help and advice please? I was 5 days late when i took a home pregnancy test which came back as negative. My periods are normally right on time which is why i chose to take a test. After about a week i started to feel unwell. I awoke one morning to severe vomitting shortly followed by diahorrea. This continued for until early evening but subsided after then. I experienced stomach cramps throughout this also. Then the following day the cramps started up again and have been on and off ever since. After a week and a half of not having a period i noticed some blood and thought i had my period but this was not like my normal heavy flow it was pinkish red colour instead of my normal heavy dark red brown and also very light and only lasted 2 to 3 days then went away. I feel bloated all the time and I have been urinating much more often than normal which is unusual for me. I feel tired all the time. My breasts are not sore but then with my first child i did not experience this until maybe the 5th week into my pregnancy. I'm confused as i tested after 5 days of being late and it was negative, was this too early? With my first child i suffered terrible stomach cramps but not until 6 weeks (until i found out i was pregnant) These pains normally occur a few hours before i have my AF but these have been on and off for the past 2 weeks now almost. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as im really confused now.

Hi I am Cindy! I lost a baby in 2003, Shortly after that I found out I had severe endiometriosis. I was 29 years old at the time. I have had two laproscopies, went through Lupron injections for 6 months and fertility pills for 6 months. I took my last dose of fertility pills in April. Doctor just said that there is nothing he can do for me anymore and referred me to a fertility clinic which would cost us $10,000 a month for IVF. We can not afford that. Well, I am a week late and have 3 neg. I know I am probably not pregnant. But there is still some hope there. Ugggghhhh! I have been through 4 years of negative tests. Good Luck to All of You!!!!!!!!!

Here I am again on the pregnancy roller coaster. As my previous posts stated I missed a period last month. Went to the doctor and she did a blood test...negative. So I wasn't pregnant. I did an ovulation test and found out that I was ovulating around May 18th and even though I didn't have a period last month it should have started on May 4. So based on a 28 day cycle, I should have started this month on June 1. Here I am again.......no period and having some pregnancy symptoms. Took a test this morning and it's negative. I do have breast tenderness this time and my nipples look different. It is just soooooooo frustrating. I also have some other common pregnancy symptoms (frequent urination, backache, nausea, etc). If I'm not pregnant and I'm not having a period....what the heck is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone else experienced something like this? I had another blood test done today. I'm hoping for an answer, whether it's pregnancy or not, I need to know what is going on.

Hello everyone firstly my name is Jackqui, I'm a mom of two, I'm 20 and live in hawaii. My deal is ever since I"ve stopped BF my son 5 months ago my period has been pretty normal 28 days cycle. But for this month as of today I'm 6 days late. I took five HPTs and three came out with a very very faint pos. line within the 3 minute time limit, the other two I took late at night where as my hCG levels if at all might have been super low. So if by SAT. (in three days) if I don't get my AF then I'm goining to see my OB and find out from there.(I really don't want to be pregnant being that I have two kids already and in a month I'll be turning 21 and need a excuse to finally party!!!..lol)

also with my son (my 2nd kid) I was also late with my period and decided to take a HPT ..I think I was like 2 or 3 days late and it came out negative..but three days later I took the other HPT and got a faint ppos..not as faint as my recent HPt but it was light...just thought I'd let you all know...

Well, I'm 27 years old. For the last nine years I've experienced problems with my periods (once I had one for six weeks and they have always been painful). My doctor has always regulated this with b/c. I've now been married for two years and my husband and I want to have children. I thought I might have been pregnant back in October 2006. Took a hpt--negative. A week later (after being over a week late) doctor did a pt and it was also negative. I went from Sept 28 to Dec 18 (11 weeks) with no period (light spotting for 3 days). This had never happened before. On Dec 26 I woke up in the middle of the night in a hot sweat and had vomiting all night (could keep no liquids down). Then had cold chills and had to call in sick for work. Started period that day (lasted 15 days). Had long periods (15 days or more) from then until March 2007 (had ultrasound in Feb--normal result, had bloodwork also, all normal). In April I had pain and heavy bleeding (six-day period, the first normal one in months), along with enlarged ovary on right side. Doctor suspected polycystic ovaries. Insulin test came back normal. Normal period in May, nothing in June. Now at day 41 of cycle (about 2 weeks late). Last week took a hpt--negative. I'm going to the doctor in a week and a half. What could be going on? I've been ttc for over a year.

I had a similar experience last fall. Thought I was pregnant, but doctors told me I was not. Still I went 11 weeks with no period and then got really sick, vomiting, etc. Bled for two weeks after that with long and frequent periods from late Dec until mid-March. Had two "normal" periods the last couple months. Now I'm late again (almost two weeks). Last week I took a hpt--negative. Stress can make you miss periods, but some of you ladies ought to get checked to make sure you don't have a hormone imbalance that is causing your cycle to be off like this. Also lack of ovulation can cause you to miss a period. Doctors suspect I might have polycystic ovarian syndrome (an ovulation disorder).

Hello Ladies...

Period began on May 18th & ended on the 22nd.( friday to tuesday)
..which means I should have ovulated around the 11th of June.
I had sex (we were interrupted though, didn't finish and used a condom) sometime between June 2nd and 4th...BUT he was inside me pre-condom for about 15 seconds..(??)
Have taken 3 preg. tests, all say NEG. I should've gotten my period on Friday but its now Monday and no signs of it yet Im really bloated.
I just started taking my thyroid med again, after a lapse of about 2 months, but I only began taking it Thursday evening..so that should'nt interfere.

Still have 2 tests left and the waiting is killing me.. anyone think I sound prego from the info listed here? Thnx for your answers...

I had 3 negative tests when pregnant with my son, and I was 6 weeks pregnant. My dr. ran a blood test to see what was going on, and that's how we found out. I don't think I'll trust those tests again!

I also know what this is like. I'm now about 16 days late. Took a test at five days late--negative. Because I have had other complications and a history of irregular periods they've agreed to do an ultrasound. I'm a little worried. I thought I might have been pregnant last fall, but I don't think I was. I didn't have a period then for 11 weeks, and I should have known something then. After initially being tested at the doctor's office at a week late (urine), I never went back to the doctor, even after I didn't get my period for almost two more months. Had no pregnancy symptoms then except for being very tired and lots of frequent urination (but those things can also be from a hormone imbalance). I also had a little bit of breast pain and darker nipples. I got really sick (after 11 weeks) and then started bleeding for a couple of weeks straight. I had lots of clotting then but never passed anything that looked like a fetus. For the next three months I had almost constant bleeding. In April and May I had two normal cycles (with lots of pain though). Now the same thing is happening all over again--absence of cycle that is...I hate this. I just want to have a baby like everyone else. I don't feel pregnant right now. Most people on this forum swear up and down that they are because they have all the symptoms. I guess I'm a little more sleepy than usual, but not that much. I have noticed some breast changes again, and I have slight lower abdominal pain and discharge off and on. If I were pregnant I'd be about six weeks along. Believe me, I want this just as much as everyone else here, but I am also trying to look at the facts. I don't want to get my hopes up because I've been so disappointed the times before. My husband and I have been believing God for a child of our own for a little while. I'm trying not to freak out. I feel fine. I don't feel like anything is wrong. I just don't want to be let down again. My appointment is June 25 for my sonogram. I guess I'll find out the answers I need then. Best wishes to everyone else here.

Hi guys - I am new here & have really found a lot of support from this thread.. you guys rock! Just wondering whether anyone has any updates? My situation is that AF is 10 days late now, and I last tested FMU yesterday & got a BFN. I have 2 sons already (3&5) so you'd think I'd have a clue what's going on with my body, but I don't have time to keep in tune with it like I should.. I keep feeling like I'm pg - fatigue, constipation, abdominal twitches, etc. - but no BFP?? I don't think I've ever been this late in my life (except when pg of course, but even then I got a BFP right away), so now I'm starting to think I'm not PG but that something really bad is wrong with me. If nothing either way by tomorrow a.m. (CD 37 when I am usually regular at 26), then I have to call my GYN back. At this point, I would take either PG or AF, just to know one way or another & end this misery ;) Hope anyone else has had some good news!

i'm having the same problem as most of you are. I was supposed to start my period on July 12th and nothing happened so i took a pregnancy test on July 23rd and it came back negative so i took another test on July 29th (in the afternoon) and another one on 30th (in the morning) and all negative. I have had some cramps like i'm going to start my period and my breasts have been incredibly sore and swollen i know they usually swell up around 2-3 days before i start and it usually calms down around 2-3 days after i start but they have been swollen the whole 2 weeks now. I have had some constipation but no nausea and i'm not even tired. I have never been this late before if im really stressed out it will push back between 3-5 days but i have nothing to be stressed out about. My boyfriend and I have had unprotected sex almost everyday and he didn't pull out so it could be a possibility that i might be pregnant but i don't know if im just stressing about it too much or why these test keep coming back negative.
