OK, I have no idea...

I am about 12 days late, I have taken 3 or 4 home pregnancy tests and they were all negative. I am usually very, VERY regular. I did have sex during my fertile period. Could it still be too early to get a positive result? I have a friend that took 3 tests that all came out neg. and didnt get a pos. until she got a blood test done.
Ok, so today I went out and bought another HPT. I went and spent a whopping four bucks on an Equate test (walmart brand). I read alot of posts where women said the cheap dollar store brands were just as good, so I thought I would give it a try instead of shelling out another $15 for First Response...which I have heard both good and bad things about. Anyway, back to what I was saying...
So I opted for peeing in a cup because I am horrible at doing it on a stick, and the equate brand says that you should hold it in the stream for at least 10 seconds. It says you can also use a clean dry cup and dip the entire tip into the urine for at least 10 seconds.
So I dipped the stick, counted to 15 and capped it. I layed it down on the counter and saw a pink tint moving through the windows. On the equate test, there are two windows, the contol window and the result window. So I left it in the bathroom and walked into the living room...
I go back in the bathroom a couple of minutes later and the contol window has the line that is supposed to be there. But in the result window there is a very, very, VERY faint line. If you are pregnant, there is supposed to be two line, that would look like a plus sign. My line looks like a minus sign, the negative result, but it is so light that I can barely see it. So I thought, ok, maybe I didn't wait long enough. I waited a few minutes longer, still the same result.
So what does that mean? Do I need to retest?
I am two weeks late now. I am NEVER late. I have had some nausea, cramps, some back pain, I have to pee ALL the time, and for a while I had to do number 2 alot (TMI, I know...lol). And since last night I have had this very strange feeling in my stomach. I can't exactly desribe it. I just know I didn't want my stomach touched at all. I still have this feeling now. I have no idea if this has to do with being pregnant, I have never been pregnant...so I am totally clueless of the real signs. All I know is what I have heard.
My husband thinks it may be stress causing me to not have a period because of some things that have gone on in the last month or so, but I don't FEEL stressed. I am so frustrated at this point! UUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!
I'm sending you prayers and positive thoughts. Maybe you should go to the ER...I've never been pg, but I can't imagine if you are that the dark blood is healthy. I hope things work out.
((((hugs))))
I missed my period for the first time in my life and took a prego test a week later and it came up negative. I thought something was wrong with me so I made a drs appt. It ends up I was pregnant even though the test didn't work. During that time between conceiving and knowing I was pregnant I did have a moment with severe cramping pain that made me fall to the ground it was so sharp. I think that was the day when it implanted. It was just a weird hormonal day. Good luck! Just because the test is negative it doesn't mean you are not prego!
