12 days late but still negative

I'm now 12 days late for my period, but have had negative HPT at 2 days, 5 days and 9 days. I had a negative test at my Drs at 6 days late. I feel pretty sure that I'm PG - my first - I'm 32.

***Has anyone out there had negative tests as late as 9 days after your missed period?** I've been regular to the day for 11 years (on BCP). I can pinpoint a BD in the 12th day of my last regular cycle. And I've missed a few pills in the last 2 months.

My only real symptoms are no period, slight upset stomach, extreme fatigue and lots of gas.

I'm going in for a blood test tomorrow. Hope it confirms what I'm aready pretty sure of!

**Does anyone know of a sensitive, accurate HPT?**

PS, DH thinks I'm crazy :-) "You can't be PG, your test is negative" -- but it's my body that's doing strange and different things...

Yes you can! I was a week late with dd and had a negative blood test. I also had a pelvic exam at 8 weeks pg (routine) and no one noticed. It was only when I went in to get a period started because it had been 12 weeks when they told me that I actually was 11 weeks pg! It can happen.

Good luck to you!

Well, I was supposed to start AF on July 9th and here I am still waiting for it. However, in the mean time all hpt have been -!!!! I finally went to the dr whose urine test was also - so sent me for a blood test on Thursday. I will find out Mon what it is. Like you, I have always been regular cycles so this is really frustrating. I keep denying the symptoms I have such as sore bbs, moodiness, mild cramping, mild nausea, bloating and gas and figure I must be making it all up. Who knows!!!! I will be interested to see how you make out also.

I am so glad that I am not the only "crazy" one. I am 2 weeks late and all home pregnancy tests have come up negative except for one. My blood was drawn Friday..but I have a feeling that they will tell me it is negative..but I know I am pg. I also have the bloating, fatigue, gas, a little breast soreness, etc. And if if isn't pg..then something else is wrong with me and that scares me.

Oh man, I feel exactly the same way. If it isn't pg, there has got to be something else wrong. I am not stressed out ( on holidays right now) and was trying very hard this past month not to worry about ttc. So, when all this started happening, I tried to stay in denial. When I saw the dr last weds, he basically told me that "woman who are anxious to conceive, will cause themselves to have all the symptoms and will delay their period". Well, AF was supposed to start on the 9th!!!! My LMP was jun 01 for heaven's sake. I have always been regular up until March when I m/c but had two fairly normal cycles except they were 38 and 40 days. Right now, I am way past that. So, what gives?????? Hopefully this blood test will help out tomorrow.

Good luck to you too!

Good luck to all testing, please let us all know. Some of your stories are inspiring to me because I am a few days late and taken 4 HPT and had a blood test done all BFN. But I've never felt more pregnant. I have a DD and DS. Jen

Had the blood drawn a little while ago. The lab says they have a 1 hour turn around. I'm at a client's office, trying to work, but counting down the minutes...

I can't believe this! There are other women out there who are having the same problems! I'm about two weeks late and have some of the same symptoms. I've also taken four hpts and they have all been -. I also went to the doctor when I was about 2 days late and took a blood test and it was also -. I have never missed a period in my life! And I feel like I'm pg. I don't know what to do. I'm very discouraged. I want to test again but I don't want to get another -. I'm glad theres somebody out there I can talk to. :) Good luck with the blood test! Think positive thoughts!!!!

Hi,

I am now 1-3 days late (cycle varies from 28-30 days). I took a test yesterday (First Response) and it was negative. Still no AF. 5 DPO started having low-back pain. 6 DPO started having mild cramping (but too early to be menstrual cramps). 11 DPO started having sore bbs. Now 14 DPO and no AF! Dr. says to wait until Friday. We aren't trying, but did used withdrawal method (sorry if TMI), which I know can cause pregnancy. Maybe I just really want to be pg, so I'm not getting AF and I am assuming all symptoms are possible signs of pg.

One possibility for no AF is an ovarian cyst. I have missed an entire cycle before because of one. Hopefully, that's not what it is! Anyway, it looks like we're all in the same boat! Hopefully, we will all have answers soon.

Good Luck! And don't be too stressed out, b/c that's not good for baby if you are pg!

When you had a cyst did you have any symptoms or anything? The reason I ask is I've taken so many tests and gotten so many negatives I don't know if there is any hope that I'm pregnant. So I want to check out the other things that could take away my period, besides stress, diet, and heavy work-out. Any info you can give me is greatly appreciated. :)
