hi everyone!
ok im going to try not to make this long but theres a lot of detail in my little complication. The 1st day of my last period was May 14th (12th if u count minor spotting); i still have not gotten my period (todays date being June 22nd)according to the ob-gyn's wheel calculating date thingy my missed period date was June 11th.. well, regardless of that, either way, i am late & the 1st weird symptom i noticed was about 2 weeks ago: my nipples were EXTREMELY sensitive (a never before experienced symptom) NOW however, my breasts are just swollen & tender (which occurs before i get my period) but i still havent even spotted.. here & there occasionally i will cramp, more when i lay down.. the cramping started about 2 1/2 weeks ago though so every single day id tell myself, ok its coming.. but nothing! ive been eating like crazy, sleepy to the point that i dont even want to get out of bed, peeing more than usual, moody, achy, cranky, emotional, etc etc.. AND i took a urine test 3 days ago and it came out negative.. so now i dont know what to do or what to think.. whether to make an appointment for blood work, or wait a little more with this crazy anxiety and curiosity of whats going on in my body.. any suggestions, comments, answers will be HIGHLY appreciated

just to be on the safe side - i would make that trip to the doctor's office. the sooner you know, the better. i had those same symptoms, thinking nothing of them and thinking "my period will be here in a few days." ha! three months passed and no period. i took hpt's and they all lied to me. :) i got negatives each time. it was time to face my fears and denials. i went to the doctor - and sure enough... i'm expecting july 28th.

Unfortunatly, many preganancy sypmtoms are the same as pre-period symptoms. Among those are Bloating, cramping, fatigue, and a few others. I found myself in your shoes the end of last year. My hubby and I were getting ready to go out for some quality time. I started to get dressed and several pair of my pants just wouldn't fit! I thought "No biggie, I am just bloated" as I had been having my usual "pre-period" cramps and other sypmtoms for a few days. So we went out and had a wonderful time, I tried to drink a smirnoff but it just didn't taste the same for some reason, so after drinking only half hubby finished it off for me. We went home and went to bed and at 6 am I woke up puking my brains out for hours on end. Even though we had been having unprotected sex it never entered my mind that I could be prego, I thought the restraunt we ate at had given me food poisoning. So I ended up in the ER. The ER did a HPT as well as a blood test and while waiting for the blood work results the nurse came in and said "you might be pregnant but I am not sure yet". The blood test confirmed it. I went home in shock, and I felt like I had to see it for myself so I grabbed a HPT we had and took it and the second line was very faint but it was there (I was 2 weeks 3 days prego, or 4 weeks gestation- you'll understand when and if you r prego). Long story short- If your not prego, worrying (even if your trying not to) can cause your period to be late or even not show up at all. But If you are HPT may not show conclusively for a while. If you are really concerned and your doc won't do the test go to your local planned parenthood, or health dept. They can test you for free there.
