Hi,
I'm glad you went to the doctor's office, and it sounds like they just did not think the test was necessary (this is a good thing...no need for unnecessary testing!). It would be good advice to heed what your doctors suggested and take another test in a week (you probably will anyways, regardless if today's test says negative...right?).
Many women are going through what you are...the "wait" is agonizing (I know, first-hand!), and with 2 negative pregnancy tests and the doctor's telling you to wait one more week, (plus, it sounds like everything was "OK" from your medical appointment), that hopefully you can stop worrying and enjoy yourself until your next testing. Can you mark the date on your calendar, and challenge yourself to not think about taking a pregnancy test until that date?
Plus...as Diane asked: are you trying to become pregnant? If you are, then you may have this same worry/concern/stress with each cycle. If you are not, are you using any type of birth control to prevent a pregnancy?
Lastly, what did the doctor think was the reason for your late/irregular cycle? What if your pregnancy test comes back negative...what are your next steps according to your doctor? (Many women miss their period completely, and this can be normal).
