Ok- Im normally pretty darn regular.. I dont remember the exact days I start my period, but its normally around the first. Although, I can remember in the last year, that 8 months ago, it used to start around the 15th, and gradually started getting near the 20th, 25th, now the first part of the month.. Anyway.. I am NOT active sexually. I had sex once in the first part of August (like a day or so after my period) had a regular period in the first part of Sep, and a regular per at the first part of Oct. No sex during these times. It is now the 11th!!! Had sex on 6th. Was already a few days late. Used protection once, then the pull out method the 2nd time.. (I know I know) Ive already slapped my hand for that one!

I have cramping sometimes. My boobs DO NOT hurt! I was really PMS'sy last week. But am Fine now! Sometimes I cramp, sometimes my lower back hurts! But nothing..

The only thing I have been doing different is taking Xenadrine (diet pills) for the last 2 weeks. I dont really think Im preg. But, its just laying in the back of my mind..

Any help would be super!

Thanks all

Well, it sounds like you could be based on the late period. The only way to be sure is to of course take a HPT, I suggest an e.p.t., they are usually pretty accurate. I just found out that I am preg and I do not have any real symptoms either. My bb's don't hurt, not nausea yet, just a little lower back pain and some very mild lower abdominal cramps off and on. So good luck to ya whatever you are wishing for (a baby or no baby). I hope everything works out in your favor. :) Keep me posted...

I actually just took a hpt, and its Neg. I think its accurate because I am at least 8-10 days late. I will re take in about 3-4 days if I dont start, and if I still don't start, I will go see my Doc. This is just abnormal for me..

But do you think since I am late, and my HPT says Neg, you think thats pretty accurate?

I hope so..

Thanks for your response by the way.. I REALLY appreciate it!

taking things like diet pills or new vitamins CAN play a part in you cycle.

I started taking a new multi vitiman and I had to take three HTP just for me to believe I wasn't pregnant. It turned out to be something in the vitiman that made me have the signs of pregnancy, it even caused me to be a few days late.

So you should talk with your doctor if you keep having the problem.

I hope that helped,

Thats what I thought too! Cause if I really think about my situation, I have had sex one time protected (for the most part)in the last 3 1/2 months. and thursday was the last time I had sex, and I was already about 4 days late..

But the whole diet pill thing is the only thing I have changed that I never used to do before.. And I just had to take a hpt to make me at ease... LOL..

but I really didnt think I was preg.

Thank you SO much for your responses.
