Could I be pregnant?

First off, Happy New Year to everyone. Well, I was suppose to start my MC around the 4th thru 9th of December but here it is the 1st of January and still no period. I've had regular cycles since starting and this is the first time I've missed. I've been bloated, constipated, my appetite has increased, breasts are tender and sore, I have cramps every now and then in my lower stomach area, very tired, and I frequent the restroom often; sometimes back to back. I made an appointment to have my annual PS on Dec. 31st. The pregnancy test came back negative. So I asked the Dr. what else could be the cause of my missed or very late period and every concept she came up with was ruled out because of the fact that I have been regular all this time. So she told me to wait 2 more weeks and if it doesn't show up to come back and test again. I figured if my period doesn't start after having the PS procedure done then there can't be any other reason except pregnancy. But I'm hating this waiting game, I know my body and I can feel it going through changes but I don't want to jeopardize the health of my baby (if I'm preggers) and miss out on prenatal care all because of some negative tests. I had a cousin who carried her baby full

My AF is still a no show. I am 12 days late and get negative pregnancy test! Its very frustrating. I didn't have a drink on new years "just in case" I made a Dr's appt but the soonest they can see me is Jan 14th...What are some of the reasons your Dr said you maybe late BESIDES being pregnant? I'm gonna test again friday...or go to the dollar store tonight cause I wanna know NOW! I just wonder why it wouldn't show up on a HPT...the HCg hormone increases rapidly in early pregnancy..I wonder why a I wouldn't have as little as 25 ml of HCg 5 days after a missed period if First Response can detect pregnancy be4 your missed period in most cases. I think I maybe going crazy...
