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

Hi, i am late by 15 days on my periods, i took pregnency test twice - first on 5th day another on 15th both came negative, but feeling like sick with back ache and leg cramps. breast also painning little and feel like little heavier than early. my periods are little irregular.
can you pl suggest for further.

I know people barely reply on these things but did you ever get your period? i am going through the exact same thing and its driving me crazy... I am 9 days late. Going to see the doctors on wednesday, I'm just curious if yours ever came, or if you ever got an explanation on what was going on!

I can say that I'm in the same boat along with you and a lot other, im also 19days late had several hpt all negative, I also had blood work done and it was negative as well, I had and ultrasound done and nothing they just say 2 small cyst on my ovary, so my advise to you is go to see your ob/gyn

Best of luck! Please keep us posted.

Hi Anonymous,

Welcome to Empowher and thanks for your question. If you are now approximately 10 days late for your period and three negative pregnancy tests, I think your period is just late. This is very common as each and every woman can tell stories of abnormal periods. There may not be a reason, per se, behind the delayed period, sometimes this just happens and it is ok.

Abnormal periods are very common also in the teen years and in your 20s. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you could always make an appointment with your physician to have a blood test taken although, I would wait if I were in your shoes. You may be surprised that it will just show up.

Keep us posted.

Hi there,

I am new to this site and was wondering if I could get some adive.
I am 24 and am fairly healthy. I usually get my period between the 10th and 13th of every month, however this month is different. I am about 9-12 days late for my period and have taken 4 hpt which have all had the same negitive result? I am confused as to why this is, and is it that common for women to not have enough HCG in their system to detect a positive test?

in november 2009 i was late getting my period. i was supposed to start on the first and didnt so i took a test and it was negative. a couple of weeks later, i was having leg cramps so i went to the doctor and advised him i hadnt started my period. he ordered a urine preg test and again it was negative. the day before thanksgiving, i went to a follow-up appoitment i had with a female specialist regarding a bladder condition i have and told her i still hadnt started my period and told her about the leg cramps and some other symptoms. she thought it was odd and ordered another urine test, which also came back negative so she wanted a blood test done to check for pregnacy and to check for low horomone levels that may have contributed to my missed period. she called me on december 2nd and advised me i was pregnant but that she couldnt tell me how far along i was because she only ordered the test to see if i was pregnant and not the more specific test that showed my HCG levels because she didt think i was pregnant since the urine test came back neg. she advised me to call my ob/gyn. i called him and he ordered more blood work. the test showed different levels and they were saying between 4-8 weeks which is a big gap. so he ordered an ultrasound and it showed 6 weeks and everything looked normal but there was no heartbeat which the ultrasound tech said may have been to early to hear. the dr. ordered more bloodwork exactly a week later and it still showed the large gap so, again, another ultrasound the very next day, which at that time i would have been 7 weeks. i went for the ultrasound and there was no baby and no heartbeat. it was ruled a blighted ovum and i miscarried 2 weeks later. i have not been able to conceive ever since. i already have a son and a daughter and had no problems conceiving them.
