Well, some clarification: YES--the truth lies with some of these answers here. Most of you are probably experiencing early miscarriages (either by showing you a positive result and then you turn up not prego, or by giving you a negative sign with prego symptoms and then you have a really late period--actually a miscarriage). It is VERY typical for women to miscarry early on. It is also NOT typical for a pregnancy test to show you false results after 5 days of a missed period. The answers about doctors giving shady answers puzzle me--Doctors will and should tell you if you are pregnant (either you are or you arent) To the doctor that said "you could be 6 weeks pregnant, but I dont have a test to confirm it" --i think you need to find a new doctor. A true medical person would (if you are months late on your period, showing prego signs and are concerned) an HCG test would be done and if still nothing, an ultrasound (probably vaginal) will confirm if there is indeed a sac in there...remember: sore breasts can be a sign of period onset, but SWOLEN breasts is a symptom of pregnancy. If you are concerned at ALL, go to your doctor--if you dont like their answer, go somewhere else. Remember, its your body and you can ask for or deny any tests you want. But something is definitely amiss if you are several months late, not on birthcontrol and a test is coming up negative. Keep those bodies healthy and take your folic acid! --Brynn
