Dear: Could I be...
I am a new mother for the second time myself and I had the exact same question you have now. Let me ask you, has anything changed in your life that has put a great deal of stress on you?..(before the thought of pregnancy entered your mind). Stress has a HUGE impact on your period! If you are stressing over something, that stress maybe the reason your period has stalled. Also, are your breast very tender to the touch, more so than normal? If they are, that is also a possible indicator of pregnancy. For the best advice, go see a low cost clinic in your area or look up plannedparenthood.com and they should have a list of places on their website in your area you could go to to seek additional help.

Here's my theory: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
If you feel pregnant, look pregnant, and have all the symptoms, you're most likely pregnant.
Since you don't have insurance, I'd recommend looking for a free women's clinic near you. Most cities have them, and if not, often women's shelters will give free pregnancy tests.
Short of that, it's not too terribly expensive to go the doctor without insurance and have the test done. If you can afford a computer and the internet to ask us this question, you ought to be able to find the money to find out if you're pregnant. It's important, because if you are, you need to be planning and taking care of your baby (prenatal vitamins, eating right, etc.), and if you're not pregnant it could be the sign of something more serious.

If you are pregnant, I believe you should have had a positive result by now. That is, if you are sure you are doing the test right. I know you don't want to hear this, but you may need to see a physician. There are other health problems that can mimic pregnancy that require help from a doctor. Hope this helps--and good luck. You could also check for a state-run facility to make an appointment.

There is a very very good chance you are. Its very rare that a test come back negative if you are preg. try a free clinic i mean no one wants to go but its worth knowing you need to get proper treatment if you are there are actually alot of good doctors that go there. Or go to the hospital and have blood work done it will be a definet. answer plus most hospital if you fall into the right income bracket you dont have to pay. Its worth giving it a try

The county Health Dept in your area should offer a free pregnancy screening and either services or a referral for any pregnant woman to get medical services. You may also check with the Labor & Delivery unit at your local hospital they may be able to refer you to a free or low income based clinic

Go to your local health department. They will determine whether or not you're pregnant. If you find out that you are, go to Department of Children and Families and sign up for Medicaid. It will pay for your prenatal care. The health department will also sign you up for WIC so that you and your baby will get the healthy food you need.

Every city or county has Department of Social Services, they can advise you where to go and get help. There are several institutions that you can find inside the phone book.

I have heard that sometimes it doesn't show on the home preg. test's but it will show when you get a blood test done. If you live in cali or in a state where they offer fpac you can get a test done for free. Or you could go to a clinic that offers free preg. tests sometimes they will also help you get medical if you qualify for it. there's help out there you just have to look.

there are several agencies out there that can test you for free. look into the health departments in your area. if you still can't find one, go to the emergancy room. they will bill you, but you can pay in installments. sounds like you need to get help from boyfriend. you didn't get pregnant by yourself. good luck
