Hello Laura,

Excessive and prolonged periods of stress can cause a delay, as well as a hormonal imbalance associated with pregnancy and perimenopause (you are far too young:).

You can repeat the pregnancy test. Wait and see if you get a period in the next few weeks. Or, reach out to your gynecologist.

Regards,
Maryann

Hi, I was just curious if you have any advice to offer.
My last period was July 25-29. I was fertile from Aug 3-9 and ovulated on the 8th. July 30- Aug 11 my partner and I had sex everyday, and he ejaculated inside of me, and we don't use any type of contraceptive. I'm 20 years old, and have been told I have endometriosis by a doctor at the ER (in Feb/16) who did no other tests but a urine, and applied pressure to my abdomen, but when I went for a ultrasound on my uterus I was told I has chlamydia. (Which I've had twice in the past, but I think the second time (June/15) was not cleared because the reason I went into the ER was due to severe bleeding & pain in my abdomen for just shy of 3 weeks!) I think the reason i bled that much in Feb, was due to the STI and not endo, as i havent revieved any follow up on that from my doctor. Anyhow, the person I'm with I've been with for almost 5 years and we have been actively trying to convieve for almost a year.
So far, I am 13 days late for a period, which has been irregular, but never this long have I been without a period since I was 11 years old. I have slightly tender breasts, which started this morning. The week of and week after I was supposed to get AF I had really creamy white discharge, lotiony like. I've been beyond moody, one minute I'm happy, the next I'm mad, the next I'm balling my eyes out. I have mild cramping, but its not as rough as my period pain, just comes and goes. There's this sharp pain in my left hip/abdomen area that also comes and goes. I've been urinating a bit more, not a lot, just like twice more than usual a day. I have bad neck and lower back pain, my dreams are more vivid then usual, I have this weird feeling in my gutt kind of like butterflies, but not as strong. I also find myself being a lot more tired for the past few weeks, I thought it was my depression at first, but it hasn't gone away.

I've taken three at home tests so far, one at 8 days late, the other at 9 days, and the last one today. All negative. I have another test at my leisure, but I am terrified to see just the one line again. Its very heartbreaking, as the one thing I want more than anything to be blessed with, is the opportunity to be a Mommy.

Please, please any help, advice or suggestions will ALL be appreciated.

Hello,

This is Laura again and I have an update. So yesterday I thought I was getting my period because I had again some very light spotting last night. I woke up this morning and there was nothing there at all. I have been having some slight back aches and light cramping off and on. I scheduled a ob/gyn appointment but they cant see me until Sept 15. Should I try to test again with a home test or just go to urgent care. This has never happened before so I'm feeling a little crazy.

Hello Laura,

The choice is yours. I do not think it is necessary to test again. Personally, I do not think this warrants a visit to an urgent care center. But, if it is causing you that much stress, go. It may give you peace of mind.

Maryann

Hello,

I am 15 days late. My last period was July 1st, I'm irregular & very heavy lasting 8 days per cycle. I had what seemed like implantation bleeding a week before my period was due bc I had veryy light bleeding only 3 days which is not common for at all. My period never came & have taken 3 at home preg tests all came back negative & a hcg blood test at 10 days past period & came back negative. Days 13 14 & today 15 I've had morning sickness. Should I test again or what do I do?

Hello Anonymous,

If you had a blood hCG test, which is more accurate than a urine test, at least 11 days following possible conception, you can accept the negative test result. I am assuming you have contacted your gynecologist, who ordered the test.

What did your gynecologist say or suggest?

Caution must be used in making too much of hCG numbers. A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby. The results from an ultrasound after 5 -6 weeks gestation are much more accurate than using hCG numbers.

Hello Anonymous,

Start by taking a home pregnancy test. For the most accurate result, test in the morning. Use the urine when you first wake up and use the bathroom.

Then contact your physician.
