Late Period but negative test result

Mon, 10-20-2003 - 5:36pm
I am a 34 year old mother of 3 beautiful children. My partner and I use the "pullout" method of birth control..however I was due for my period on Thurs..Oct 16 and still have not gotten it. I did a home pregnancy test today and result was negative. I do have some signs of pregnancy however these could be sign of my period comming. Should I accept the negative or is it possible I may be pregnant? Any information will be much appreciated.

Well i just say your message today. My LMP was Sept. 11 I was supposed to have AF on the 13th of Oct.,well no show. I took a HPT on the 17th just for it to tell me a neg. I am trying so hard to wait a little longer before I test again. A few months ago I did the same thing except spent alot more money on HPT. I was like 17 day late, sorry dont want to discourage you. I am going to try to wait another week before I test but it is killing me. I hope I am but me and my DH having been using the pull out method for the last year and just this couple months started TTC. I totally dont see how other women do it. With my first child we were not trying and everything happen so easy. I just want to say to all the women out there I WISH YOU ALL THE BLESSING YA'LL ARE HOPING FOR.

I am in the same situation you are in. My LMP was Sept 13, my period was due Oct 12(I have 29 day cycles), I have had several pregnancy symptoms which at first I thought was AF coming but nothing yet and I didnt feel or act like I normally do with AF. I started cramping at 6 dpo and still am, I have mild occasional breast tenderness that is more and more frequent, they are very heavy and seem bigger, Im exhausted all the time, Ive been moody lately, eating more. I dont know what to think, I have had 3 negatives, the last one being last Sunday. I am waiting until next week to test again because I really want it to be positive but dont want to be disappointed again. I just wish I knew whats going on!!! Baby dust to all!!!

I don't want to discourage any of you or bring your hopes down, but my last AF was August 18, and I still have not gotten a period since. I used to be pretty regular so when I didn't get it on Sept. 18 I automatically assumed I was pregnant. I thought I was getting pregnancy symptoms, but maybe since I wanted to be pregnant so bad I was making them up in my head. I since have been to the doctor (October 13) and it was confirmed I was not pregnant. I was put on a female hormone called Provera to bring on my period. I still have not gotten it but know that I am not pregnant. Maybe you should contact your doctor to see if this may be your case also, and see if you may need Provera too. I hope this is not the case and you get BFP, but it's just a suggestion. I was also put on Clomid. I will see how that works! Good Luck to Everyone!!
