My period is 14 days late! I posted on here when I was 7 days late...I was worried then! I took a test like 4 days ago and it was still negative. When should I test again? What could be causing such a late period besides a pregnancy? Shouldn't my hcg level be high enough by now to register on a hpt? I've been very exhausted, and have had some tender bb's and gas/bloating, but no morning sickness or anything. I just moved to a new state and haven't found a doctor yet--is a blood test my only option? The first day of my last period was July 25. Has anyone heard of someone being this late and still being pregnant? Any baby dust, well wishes, or advice would be much appreciated! Good luck to all of you in similar situations! :-)

At this point, going to the dr for a blood test would be a good idea. That way if your not pg(let's hope you are) they can tell you why this is happening. Good luck and baby dust to you.

Thanks for the advice! Lack of AF is keeping me up at night... Didn't you post that you were really late last month? Baby dust to you (and all of us who are wishing for AF to keep being late)!! Ask around and see what's the latest negative your friends have ever gotten...I'm curious.

This may not be the case but an ovarian cyst has caused me to be 10 days late and it made my BB's so sore. I really didn't have much in the way of other symptoms, but my BB's were crazy sore. However I read that an ovarian cyst can cause a false positive. Who knows....

Good luck to you.

I would go to the doc if I were you! My last af was 7/26 and I went today and I am pg! If nothing the doc can tell if you are pg and blood tests will tell them a lot too!! It is worth it even if you are not pg...just to find out whats going on with your body!!

Oh hearing that makes me feel better! Did you have symptoms when you went to the doctor? Had you tested negative before the blood test? Thanks so much and congratulations!!!! **BABY DUST**

With my last pregnancy, I had negative HPT until

6 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just kept taking them

every 2-3 days though, because I was positive I was

pregnant. The same thing is happening to me now. 3

days late and BFN's..................hopefully it will

work this time, I lost my last 3 in complications....

Hi kountrygirl,

Last month I had a 54 day cycle. After I was a week late, I went in for a blood test after getting a -HPT. I had a vaginal u/s and she told me that I ovulated late (probably around the time AF was due - I think due to stress). She could tell that I ovulated because of the shape of the corpus luteum. I then got a progesterone shot and got my period about 1 1/2 weeks later. She also told me that if I was PG by chance (since I really could have been only a few DPO) that the progesterone would only speed things along. If I were you, I would definitely go in and get checked out. That's my story anyway... I hope you are PG!!! Lot's of luck and baby dust your way.

Thanks for your message! I wish you were my next door neighbor! Still late (16 days to be exact) and it's nice to have advice from someone who's been there...I went to the doc. for a blood test today and don't get the results back until Monday. Did you have symptoms when you kept testing negative? I've been tired but no morning sickness or anything.

I hope you get a positive test soon too! Good luck, lots of baby dust, let me know how it turns out!
