Ok, heres the deal......
I have not started AF, and I am NEVER late. I am now 2 days late now .
I took a pg test, 2 of them, and it says I am not pregnant... Could that be possible for it to say I am not and I be? Maybe the levels are not high enough for it to trigger??
I am so confused, for I have never gone through this.
Both time I was late and took tests, it confirmed I was pregnant.
I don't know what to do....
Thanks so much for your input.

Well... there are some tests that are early detection and dont require the levels to be as high as the regular ones.. You might also try testing again first thing in the morning. I think that is when your levels would be at their highest..

But I think you are still in that grey area where you could be pregnant and not be testing positive yet...

My friend just went through this but I can't remember how long it took to get a positive result from the home tests..

Good luck

Mel,



I almost did not post, I dont want to depress you, but remember when I posted because this happened to me? Well....I belive that it took another week for the test to show positive, unfortunetly something happened and I had an early mc.


I want sooooo much for things to go well for you! I know you posted how much you wanted another baby! I hope you get the results you want. Take it easy and rest as much as you can with the kids.


By the way, are you having any symptoms?

Thanks and I did take into consideration that a miscarriage could be a possibility.
I am ok with that, not that I would want one, but I know women have some in their life , they just are not aware of them.
I belive it is nature to have it happen and was meant to be if it is so early.
I do want another baby, but right now is not a good time.
I just hope to find out either way soon.
Thanks for replying.....

I had a negative result with DS #2 - I was only a day or two late when I took it. So I waited 2 more weeks and took another one (I still had not started yet). The second test came back positive. So it is entirely possible to get a negative result and still be pregnant. If I were you, I would go ahead and ask my doctor to do a blood test - I'm pretty sure that they are 100% accurate. Good luck!

It's a little early to tell with most tests unless you used one of the early detection tests but I think even those say as early as your 4th late day. Heavy stress can cause your period to be late as well. Try to relax over the next few days and if you still haven't started look for the early detection test and try again.

Good luck either way.

Hi Mel!

With my first pregnancy (a DD) the very first test showed up positive just after 3 missed days, but with my second pregnancy (a DS) it was two weeks before I got a positive result.

So just try to relax and if it is meant to be it will be. Please keep us posted.

Hi Mel,

Twice in my lifetime I have had a month that I just didnt have a period. I did pregnancy tests and had blood tests done. For some odd reason that month I just didnt have a period. I am 44 now and dont know what to expect. I know it is common for women going through menopause to not have a period at times (I certainly hope menopause doesnt come anytime soon but I know it is inevitable! haha) I am such a blessed lady to have been able to get pregnant this last time at 43yrs old.

I am such a worryer that I would have to go and have a blood test done just to know! Thats just me though. Good luck!

it has happened to me to get a late AF and not be PG, even when I thought I was really regular. I even went to my OB and made him take a test....but I was negative.
