This is my first post, and I don't have all the abbreviations down yet, so I'm writing in plain English. Here's my story: I should have gotten my period on Sept.4th, and it is now the 10th. I have taken 4 HPTs and they have all been negative. I am at my wit's end at this point because I am never this late, and I just want to know once and for all if I am pregnant! I took the mini-pill for a month, stopped, got my period on time, and now I'm late.
I live in Europe and there are only two choices of HPTs in the country I'm in, and I have no idea how sensitive they are to HCG levels. Every day I promise myself that I will wait a few more days to test again, but I am so anxious to know that I wind up testing anyway. Now it has to stop because I can't afford it! I am almost certain that I'm getting false negatives. I am normally so regular it's ridiculous, so being 6 days late is a big deal.
Could I be so late because of the mini-pills I took for a month? I wasn't taking the pill before that one month of the mini-pills, so it's not like my cycle has been regulated by pills for a long time. Each day that passes is so filled with anxiety and frustration! I'm not insured here, so I can't go to a doctor and get a blood test. Is anyone else going through this? Any advice? I feel like my entire life is consumed by this mystery!
Thanks in advance!
