Pregnancy Info HOME

Ok Im new to this whole thing... I am now 7 days late on my period. My last period was July 14. I have taken 3 HPTs and all negative. My lower back is killing me, and I have been cramping all week now as if AF was here....nothing. My boobs are starting to get sore too. Why the negative results? I also feel like I have a small bladder infection. Do you think this could be why the tests are negative right now? Any advise would be great.

mlaster29 - A bladder infection won't affect the results of a pregnancy test. It tests looks for one thing, HCG.

You could be stressing yourself out, and making the symptoms. It's been 90 days since my last period and I am not pregnant. Once I came to terms with that the "symptoms" went away. I have had bad back pain and cramps, but that could be anything.

Your test could be negative also because you miss- judged your period due date. Wait a few days and try again. After that if you still feel it go to the doctor and ask for a blood test. I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks for the quick response. I really wish it was stress that was causing these symptoms and my AF to be over a week late. Im not on BC and my fiance and I aren't worried about getting pregnant..we will obviously be thrilled if we were, but not upset if we weren't... But with my headaches, cramping and backaches, I just want the "symptoms" to go away right now. They dont feel too good. I actually marked the date of my last period July 14th because it was my sister's wedding day. The nurse wont give me bladder infection medicine since I missed my period so I am going in for a blood test this week. I guess we will know then! Over a week late...gees I hope I find out what the heck is going on with me. Have you experienced this too before?

Well I get my period's every 3 to 4 months, so after each one I experience all the symptoms and all the tests come back negative. It's very sad.

My doctor is a complete tool, so I am finally going to the fertility clinic on Thursday. Hopefully they can find out why I don't ovulate every month.

I have a daughter already, and she came very quick so it was hard when the second one hasn't been as quick. (It's been over a year of trying) I'm pretty sure it's to do with the hormones in my body, which can fake a lot of things.

Hopefully you find out soon :)

Yeah I hope I find out soon too. I've never had an irregular period before. I haven't been on birth control in over a year and a half and just the past 2 months my fiance hasn't been 'pulling out'. I just hope Im not like my sister and doesn't find out until I am 12 weeks along! Same with my mom too.

Im sorry about the ovulating problems. You know it will happen when it needs to happen. That is probably why you have your little Angel daughter right now. Some things just work out for the best even when you dont expect it too.

I will let you know what happens with my blood test. Good luck. Keep me updated!

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

Wow! That is an awesome story! I'm so happy for you! I am having some similar issues! I am now on day 33 of my cycle which is usally 26 days, with some mysterious bleeding around the time I should have started but it was deffinately not my normal period bleeding! I have been having a lot of the prego symptoms and an overwhelming "feeling" that I am pregnant. I can't really explain it. But, have had 6 negative hpts. now I know those aren't always 100%. The only reason I am not sure if I'm actually pregnant is because my husband had a vasectomy 7 years ago. But... He never went and had any of his rechecks! (We have 2 kids) I called my doctor today and she said it could be possible though. I am confused! Congrats to you though!!! Its really nice to see good news!!! Take care!

hi i am having just about the same problem. i have been on birth control for over a year now and last month i had taken it a bit carelessly but tried very hard not to mess up the timing in which i took it. This past wednesday was my last pill before the sugar pills and my period usually starts about two to three days after. but this time i am about 4-5 days late.
I fainted the other day in the morning but i hadn't had anything to eat or drink and i had been on a very weird sleep schedule for about two nights prior.
I took 5 hpt tests and they were all negative but no sign of my period. what could be going on?

Natalia:
Your body could just be reacting to the difference in timing on the pills. When I was taking birth control, it took me missing one day to mess me up for that month. Your body is really sensitive to stuff like that. I'd give it another week before you start to worry too much. If you don't have anything by then, call your doctor.
Hope this helps a little.

okay thanks, it does help. i did call and schedule an appointment with my doctor but she can't see me until a week from today. i explained the situation to the nurse on the phone and she said that the fainting my have nothing to do with it. i did bleed a little today but it was very light coloured blood, i hope this is a sign that i may be getting my period.

I just came upon this thread and decided to add my own inquiry. :) It's a bit of a story. I have a dd that I weaned in July. My period was messed up for about two months then at the beginning of September I got a 7 day period that was a little heavier, but I expected that. Then exactly 30 days later I got my period again, so I figured everything was probably back to my pre-pregnancy pattern. On the Friday Nov. 6th I expected my period and did not get it. Not really worried I just figured I'd be a day late because I was already feeling the cramps and lower back pain of my period. Then on Sunday when I still hadn't gotten my period and got a negative result on a pregnancy test, DH and I had unprotected sex (we had been using condoms up till then). Now it's been a week since the expected date and I'm feeling a bit nauseaus and crampy. My breasts are getting sore and I have an overall 'feeling' that I could be pregnant. I got another negative test a couple of days ago and am wondering at the possibility that I either a) am still experiencing the hormone changes from weaning or b) might have ovulated late enough to get pregnant that one night or...something else I can't think of :)
Oh and I'm not that overly stressed and haven't changed my diet so I'm pretty sure that isn't why I'm late. Anyway that's my long story, any insight would be appreciated.
