Confused, need help

Hi everyone. I need some input and I didn't know which board to post this on. Here is my situation. My DBF and I made love on July 27. We haven't done it since. I had a period on August 11. A couple of days earlier than expected, but it was there, so I didn't suspect pregnancy. I was supposed to have a period on September 9, but here it is, a week later, and still no period. It has never been this late before.

I haven't been under any stress lately, my diet hasn't changed at all, and I am not taking any meds (including BC), so what is going on? There were a couple of days when I thought it was going to start. I had very mild cramps and mood swings, but no period. Is it possible that I am pregnant and just didn't catch it the first month? If not, what could be causing my period to be so late?

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm. That is confusing. Do you have any pregnancy symptoms? Have you taken a hpt? If I were you, I would wait a couple of days. If AF still hasn't come, I would take a hpt just to rule that out. If you bd on 7/27, you should definately have enough HcG to show + if you were pg. If the test shows negative, call your doctor. Who knows what's going on, sometimes our bodies are so funny.

Good Luck

To make your mind at ease, take a home pregnancy test. If it is still late in a week, then I would go to the doctor for a blood test as sometimes the hormones aren't strong enough for the home pregnancy tests. I had the exact same thing happen to me and as soon as I went to the doctor for the blood test, I got my period a few days later. My doctor told me that since I have gone off the pill I might take a while to be regular again or follow my cycles that I had before going on the pill. Good luck~~

Thanks for the replies. Still no AF today, which makes me eight days late. If it hasn't come by Friday, I will take a HPT. I have been feeling a little more tired lately, and my breasts have been a bit swollen, but I just figured it was because AF was due to start. I don't think it is probable that I am pg, but stranger things have happened.
