I have never missed a period unless I was pregnant, on 4-27 we were unprotected. I was due 5-2, I run a 21-28 day cycle...I HPT'd negative three times the week of the 12th, today is the 20th, wondering if I should hpt again...I've had a few symptoms ie frequent urination, mild cramping, wierd taste in mouth, no tender breast (didn't have in other pregnancy until about week 4 or 5, is it possible I am going through changes, does your period just stop no warning? Oh and one more thing, all my pregnancies occurred within 5 days of my period being due...thanks for any help

Get a quick blood test..to alleviate your worries. There is a strong possibility if you are regular and never late that you could be pregnant. But a range from 21-28 is quite a big variation. But sometimes due to hormone fluctuations we can be late or early without any warning.I am 40 and had my first short cycle last month. I am always 28 days or 27-29. But it came early 24 days. Women in there 40's can and do have erratic cycles..as we are slowly approaching a time when we will not longer be fertile..My Mother did not go into menapause until her late 50's. I was born when she was 39 my grandmother from my fathers side went into menapause at 38. Good luck to you and go get a blood test!! :)

Thank you Kristin72...I just did another HPT (first response) this morning (negative)...I've heard that it is possible to have negatives at late as 5 weeks along, I will take your advise & get a blood test

Hi Kristin--sorry it's taken so long to reply...I have limited access to the internet & I've been waiting since last Tuesday for my blood test results!!!! I've been seeing a new Dr (do not care for her) so I will be changing Dr ASAP...the health care system in Florida is sub-standard...anyway it is now 6-2 Monday and still no results!!! I am really starting to lose my patience...thanks for checking hope all is going well with you...Tina
