I'm assuming your period was supposed to begin on Thursday, October 15th?
You sound like you are extremely worried, and you may want to call your doctor to talk with a nurse. I'm saying this, because inserting Q-tips inside your vagina to check for blood may be starting to be a little compulsive; you will know if you have a period or bleeding or not. Trying to search for it will not help.
Please know this information:
- A home pregnancy test is very reliable (up to 99%) at detecting any "pregnancy hormone" in your body once you have missed your period. You are just a mere 4 days late on your period, and a hpt would most likely have detected a pregnancy, if you were pregnant.
- To know for sure, you can go to your doctor for a pregnancy test
- Many women have late, or even missed periods, and are not pregnant.
- Please try to stop worrying about, and searching for, your period, and wait a week. If your period does not start in a week, I would recommend not taking another hpt, as you sound like you need to talk with a health care professional in-person who can ease your mind.
Can you tell us more about your story, as I am not sure how old you are, if you are in a relationship or scared about an affair, or a boyfriend's "mistake", or did you just start high school...I am not sure why the level of fear and anxiety? Let us know, so we can help you through the emotional stages, too. This will be important information, because my initial questions to you (are you trying to become pregnant) were unanswered, and the more we know about your situation, the more we can help you.
