Went for a blood test, need your opinion

Hi everyone!

I really could use some advise on this.........
My last period was on September 1st. My Husband and I had unprotected sex on September 16th and again on October 1st (Oct 1st is when my period was due) I took an HPT on Oct 1st and it came out negative, I took another one yesterday before I went in to get a blood test and both the blood test and the HPT were negative.
I haven't been having any pregnancy symptoms, I have two daughters so you would think I would know by now if I was pregnant, but I don't. The only thing I can say is that I have been eating a lot more than usually latley (and I mean a lot more) but other than that I don't feel pregnant or have any symptoms. I am now going on 10 days late, tomorrow will be cycle day 40. This has never happened before. :(

Could I still be pregnant or do you think AF isn't going to visit me this month :)
Your opinion would mean a lot.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jill...


Sorry, that definitely sounds frustrating! I don't know,usually I would say if a blood test AND hpt tests are all saying BFN, then I would think that you're probably not pregnant. BUT... if there's one thing I've learned on this site is that there are some women out there who for some reason or another don't get their BFP for quite some time, on both hpt and blood tests.


Did your doctor give you any reason why AF might be so late? Did they do any other tests?

My Doctor didn't give me a reason as to why my period didn't start yet, as of today it still hasn't started. I did speak with the nurse who gave me the results over the phone and she told me that if I don't start by the 16th (2 weeks after we had unprotected sex the 2nd time) than I will have to come in for a 2nd blood test. I asked her my chance of being pregnant if I have gotten a negative blood test the first time and she said it was 50/50.

So now I need help, just yesterday my Husband said that my Boobies :) were getting bigger I have noticed a change in them as well, they feel very swollen but they don't hurt to the touch. I don't ever get like this before AF, but I am starting to think it's because I am gaining a little weight due to eating so much latley.

What do you think?

I am having the same problem. My last period was September 1st. My husband and I are trying to conceive, so we did the recommended sex every other day. My period is 2 weeks late now. I have done multiple home PTs all negative and had a blood test yesterday that was negative. The nurse said the hCg was below 2! I have an appointment to see the Dr. on Wednesday. Meanwhile I am feeling bewildered because I am NEVER late, not even by a day. I do have an increased appetite, some mild waves of nausea and fatigue. I feel your confusion!

Hi Shelley,


I was just wondering how your doctors appointment turned out?

Well, I wasn't pregnant and finally started. I ovulated late for some unknown reason. I am ovulating back to normal now and we will know if we are pregnant in a couple of weeks........
