I need advice please!

I posted my first discussion and no one has left any advice. I really really could use some. Here is my story. A few months ago, I had a miscarriage. For the past 6 years, Ive had an irregular period that comes every 14 to 16 days, sometimes waits til the 18th day if its alittle late. After my miscarriage, it still went back to this cycle. Well, Im with my boyfriend and I had it in the beginning of last month, and now I was supposed to get it this month , and its a week late , but i took two pregnancy tests and they both read negative. Is there a chance I tested too early? My mom thinks I did. My mom and boyfriend both swear Im pregnant but I dont want to get my hopes up since I had a miscarriage before. I still havent gotten my period and Ive been having cramps that come and go, and every time I go to the bathroom, theres nothing and now its a week late which is definitely not normal for my cycle at all. Im wondering if theres a chance that I could be pregnant and just tested too early and my hcg levels werent that high yet? .. is it possible? I was thinking about retesting this week coming up with a different brand of pregnancy test, and see what it reads, if negative, I was going to get blood work done cause its not normal for me or my body to be this late. Im so anxious and confused about the whole thing and they swear that they know for a fact Im pregnant. Please respond with any help, its greatly appreciated. Im going insane, literally.

I think it's possible. I would do as you said you were going to do and test every couple of days. If you hit 28 days and no AF, which would almost be twice your normal cycle, I'd definitely call the Dr. Ithink it's supposed to take 10-14 days minimum after conception to show on a test.

I took about 5-6 HPT tests that all showed negative when I was pregnant and finally got a blood test from the doc when I was a week late that came out positive...I was testing from about 3 days prior to my expected AF up to the day before the blood test...so even if your HPT tests were negative as long as AF is a no-show then there is always a chance!!
Hope you get the results you are looking for!
