Today is 9/1/07, and my last period was on 7/7/07. When I missed my period in August, I didn't really notice. When Mid-August hit, I thought, "oh, I should have had a period by now." I bought a home pregnancy test at the pharmacy and it came out negative. I thought I was ok. Two weeks later, I still haven't had my period. Next week I will have missed two periods. I have hypothyroidism and I'm on Levothyroxine. A friend of mine told me that she has a thyroid problem, too, and for both of her pregnancies, she never tested positive on a home pregnancy test. I made an appointment to go to the Doctor, and she took another urine test there. It was also negative. The doctor said the only way to be sure was to have a blood test done. I said I didn't want a blood test because I couldn't afford the lab work. How long should I wait before I use another home pregnancy test, and at what point should I whip out a credit card and charge a blood test? How accurate are these tests?
