Could I be pregnant

I don't remember when I got my period I just know it was in August and that by now (9/25) I feel and know that I am late. I've taken about twenty (well maybe five) at home pregnancy tests and they were all negative. Yet I still haven't gotten my period. I had really bad cramps and sometimes feel nauseous. I'm really hoping to get to a doctor and maybe get a blood test done. I just want to know if this is normal? the only two times I missed my period were the two times I was pregnant. Please answer and thank you very much

There are many other reasons your period could be late.Stress,a change in your activity level,or even your diet can be the cause.I would say, go see your doc.A blood test is the most relaible way of knowing for sure if you are indeed pregnant.Otherwise I'd say wait another 4 or 5 days,and retest.Maybe you ovulated late,in which case your hcg levels may still be to low for detection even though you're late.I hope you're happy with what ever the outcome.Keeping my fingers crossed for you,Christy
