4 days late...pregnant?

Hi,


I was supposed to get my period on May 1st, and today (May 5th), it's still not here. I don't even feel like I'm going to get it: no cramps, no bloating, no headaches, no sore breasts. All those symptoms usually precede my period, not always, but usually. I don't have any of those. What I DO have is constipation. But this isn't all that alarming, since I've been plagued by on-and-off constipation for years now. It'll come suddenly and leave just as suddenly. I guess I'm just nervous and attributing the late period and constipation to my being pregnant.


Also, I think it may be important to note that the only time my periods have EVER come on time was when I was on the birth control pill. After being on the pill for about 1 year, I stopped taking it around January of this year (2008), because it was wreaking serious havoc with my emotions. The last time I had my period was last month, and even that came I think 1 or 2 days late. That leads me to believe that my body is just reverting back to normal (pre-pill). It took a couple months for the pill-induced hormones to wear off, and now my body's (hormonally) back to how it was pre-pill.


Furthermore, I don't have any of the symptoms of pregnancy, except possibly constipation. I'm not more tired than usual, no nausea, no weight gain, no frequent urination, no sore breasts, etc.


I'm thinking of taking a pregnancy test if I don't get my period within a couple days. What do you all think? Your advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thank you in advance for your time.

Well it was Neg too. But the nurse told me that if I was pregnant that I would only be 4weeks 6 days and there might not be enough of the hormone to test. She advised me to wait a week and if no AF come back and test again. She seemed to be worried about my dx of my 1st child, I was dx with pre-cancerous cells, which she said there could be a problem there but I am not thinking about that yet. I will keep you guys informed =)XoXo

Hey,


I had a doctor's appointment today, too. And my test also came back negative for pregnancy. Still no period though. My gyn told me that this lateness is most likely due to a combination of stress (I had final exams for college the week I was supposed to get my period) and the whacked-out hormones due to stopping the pill. She said that since my periods were irregular prior to the birth control pill, then regular

It's been 11 days, and still no period. I'm making an appointment tomorrow for Wednesday. I'm frustrated.

Good news for me, too! I got my period today...right after I came back from the doc's, haha.


Ironically enough, I also got it the day after having sex with my boyfriend. Haha.


So yay! Never thought I'd be glad to bleed.
