My last period was Nov 21. I am like clock work every 28 days. I have been a bit stressed b/c this was my 1st christmas away from home and family. But I'm like 5 days late and have had 3 HPT that all said negative... I heard you can get a false negative on HPT more likely then a false positve. I guess I will keep waiting and test again. I don't think I can wait a week.

i'm in the same boat as you. im only 20..i should have gotten my period back on the 16th (of dec.) so im almost 2 weeks late. ive taken 3 (cheap) home tests, and all were negative. i even went to a clinic and did one of theyre urine tests, still negative. about a week after my missed period i had really bad cramping and some spotting. ive had some stomach pains and felt like getting sick (but havent yet). my breasts arent tender though (but i normally dont get that even with just my period) this is the first time my period has ever been this late. or more than 2 days late in general. im supposed to be going to a party this weekend, but im worried to drink in case i find out that i am. i think im gonna take another test saturday morning (if i can wait that long). ive told my mom about the possability, although i live alone. and my boyfriend knows.. he supports me, i just dont know what else to do...any suggestions?

I have 2 girls! Kendall will be 4 in March and Taylor was 1 in June! When I tested for them the PLUS signs showed up instantly! But I think I did screw up the tests. The first time I don't think I peed for the 10 secs the second test I peed on the window and then I drank a lot of water trying to pee again. So I am going to try first thing in the am unless I get my friend be 4 then. I didn't really plan

I am only 24 - I will be 25 in March but I have 2 girls! 3 and 1. My husband is older and I just am really thankful I will still be young when they are older! It can be hard at times to have so much responsiblity when I look around at some of my friends but I have so much more in my kids.

I know how you feel about being late and negative. I am 2 weeks late---November 13 and I've taken 2 tests and both came back negative. I am planning on taking another one sometime this weekend and hope that it is positive. I have a 6 year old step son and a 15 month old son and when I found out that I was pregnant I took just about a pregnancy test every other day just so that I would be for sure. As for not getting a brand name test don't worry about it. All the tests work the same way...gezz my step mom paid a $1 for hers and she got it at the Dollar Store. All of my tests have been cheap and they all work the same. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works long crazy hours so there isn't really a lot of money left for expensive pregnancy test.


Good luck and I hope you get the results that you are wanting.

The same thing happened to me! I took 2 hpt and went to plan parenthood and they all had negative results. I waited another week and it still was neg. The following week after that i took another test and it came out positive at that time i was 9 weeks. so it can take some time and u can be preg. with several neg tests. just give it some time. As far as the party goes i wouldnt drink at all until u know for sure your not preg.

thank you. i really appreciate your replies. i had stopped by my moms house last night, and she noticed i wasnt my usual self, and she asked whats going on. considering shes one of my best friends, i told her. she too advised me not to drink this weekend (which i had planned on not anyway) and to just wait it out and see. ive been feeling pretty crappy lately. cant eat without gagging on it or feeling sick right afterwards, constant headaches and off and on diziness. i would much rather just KNOW whats going on, then keep playing this guessing game. at this point id just like to see a positive. it is/was unplanned, but im confident i can take care of whatever happens. i guess its just a wait and see at this point..it could just be my imagination but i seem to be feeling worse as the days go on.
