hi

i have a 23-25day period cycle. i have never been this late before not even when i am super stress or what. im 6 days late. supposed to come on 17 aug but i dont even feel it coming. i experienced some cramps a week before my menses is due. i have no appetite and after i ate something (not much) i feel vomitting. my breast are sore and had headaches. furthermore, i visit the toilet more often now. But i took a home test today in the morning. i considered it negative because i can only see a very very faint pink dot. what should i do?????? i feeling pregnant but did not want to be disappointed.

I would retest! What kind did you use? Was that a faint LINE or literaly a dot ? If it was a faint line your probally pregnant if its a faint dot it may be the test was defective or you didnt urinate on it enough ! If the next is -- I would wait a week more and if no period then see your doctor !

Well if its supposed to have dots and there was a faint one in the test are, you very well could be pregnant. I would wait a few days and test again. Its probably just faint because your levels aren't that high yet. It detected at least some HCG, in order for the dot to even lightly appear. Good luck and let us know what comes of it.

Im not an expert or anything but I do have 2 kids and I know that these tests are a pain LOL.. When I tested for my 1st son I had a faint line. And I thought well whats that am I or aren't I. And so I called the doc and they told me if there was any kind of mark indicating a positive even the faintest of marks, then it was positive. So by the sounds of it, 9 times outta 10 you are pregnant. To be on the safe side.. Most Health Departments offer free testing and there are few other places that you can get free tests from. I would try and locate one ( saves money cuz those tests can get expensive) go and have a test done with them. They will tell you yes or no right then and there you wont have to wait and you wont have to wonder if the faint is a positive. Best Of Luck to you!!
