Q: 

19 days late, negative pregnancy tests - how common is this - women to have low HCG?

Hi

I know the questions have been over-asked but I really need some advice. My last period was 5th Jan and I had unprotected sex on 12th Jan (Day 8th). I am now 19 days late and no sign of my period. My periods are typically 26-30 days and I am very regular - except for the last one which was a week late and only lasted 3-4 days (normally it's 5-6).

Symptoms-wise, I noticed extra discharge few days after period was due and I felt mildly dizzy a few times. Have been waking up a few times a night to pee. Nipples were sore for half a day last week, when I was ten days late. Was at a car showroom with my bf last weekend and felt nauseated by the smell of new leather.

Thing is, I've tested 4 times and it's all negative (last test was today). Am I stressed? Well, kinda, but not anymore than I usually am. Wondering if it's common for some women to just not register enough HCG to get a positive test. Some background: I was pregnant about 7 years ago and I only picked it up after I was 2 months plus. Aborted at 3 months :(

A part of me really hopes I'm pregnant and I keep thinking about it. Please help.

Hi!

Stressing about your period can further delay it, so try to relax. If you doubt your test results, have a blood pregnancy test taken to ease your mind. You might need to be patient and wait for your period to arrive. Our hormones dictate our periods and many things besides pregnancy can impact the cycle.

Hello Anonymous,

I think it is time to have a blood pregnancy test done.

Hi, Can someone help me please.
I'm now 18 days late for my Period, my periods are like Clockwork following a 25-30 day cycle. I've done 2 HPT both were Negative, went to the Doctor yesterday to have either a Urine or Blood test to confirm if i'm pregnant and was refused, he said I should wait and just keep doing HPT after every few days as what they have are no better in detecting hormone levels. I've had no symptons, no sore boobs etc, only thing I've been peeing more than usual, and slight cramping in lower abdomen today. Do you think I could be pregnant? will test again tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed
How

Hello Anonymous,

Did you do both tests in the morning? Did you use the first urine of the day, that is when you first woke up and used the bathroom?

Have you had unprotected intercourse since your last period?
Are your menstrual cycles regular?

How old are you?
Have you been under more stress? lost or gained a significant amount of weight? been seriously ill? or traveled between time zones?

Regards,
Maryann
