Answer 1

My fiancee had the same issues. What we did was go to a free clinic (they can be found using google or yahoo) in the area. This one was: http://www.firstresort.net/ . They saw us same day, charged nothing, even did an ultrasound (we were 7 weeks pregnant (where you could be at now) and saw the baby and it's tiny heartbeat. They gave us a picture, a due date and were very helpful. We actually expected a Hollywood stereotypical dirty clinic filled with single mothers, screaming kids and inner city families lined up. Instead, it was very clean, modern, no waiting, nice people, and no questions asked.

We mailed them a very generous donation for all they did. She actually cancelled her doctor's appointment that friday and found a new doctor that wouldn't jerk us around. Most doctor's refuse to even see you until the 10th-12th week. Luckily for us, the new doctor was knowledgeable. My fiancee developed uncontrollable diabetes and high blood pressure. She now has everything under control and I love her for taking 4 shots a day (and numerous prickings for testing for blood sugar levels) for us and our baby. That is why I am putting a wedding ring on that finger on August 4th. Because she is so loving and special. She will do anything for me or our unborn child.

It really can be quite common to skip it once in awhile. Sometimes it's age, sometimes it's stress, diet or other factors in our lives and it is completely normal and there is nothing wrong with you. A lot of women will miss a period when they are trying to get pregnant because it is psychosomatic and stressful. To the very extreme some women can even cause symptoms, miss several periods, put on weight and truly believe they are pregnant and not be at all, clearly by wishing it/believing it hard enough. Weird huh? Anyway, that was just to share that our bodies can do strange things, sometimes very strange things and there is still nothing "wrong with us." :)

Answer 3

Stress can cause anyone to skip there time of the month, or being around any other dominating females, or even a change in diet. It's just something I would think about. I would still get checked on Friday regardless just to make sure that things are okay.

You could go to the er and say your sick and ask for a blood test to see if you are pregnant. you would know within 30-45 minutes. Re-test but use first morning urine.

Pregnancy Symptoms — Early Signs of Pregnancy
Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Good luck

Answer 5

Sometimes we women just skip a cycle. In fact, my doctor won't even see you until you have missed 3 in a row and are still getting a negative hpt. Are you particularly stressed out about something? That is usually the biggest culprit.

Answer 6

Sounds like you could be pregnant. Some women show negative even when they are pregnant. Don't stress. There are other reasons why your cycle could change. Just wait and see the doctor.

Answer 7

I would wait until you can see your doctor... Many women can skip their periods, or have them delayed because of many factors, you could be stressed out from work, diet isnt right etc...

So take a deep breath, relax, there is nothing to be worried about until you know for sure.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with you!!!

Good Luck :-)

Answer 8

Being late can happen to anyone it can be due to stress related problems and can also be due to your body not ovulating. Have your Dr. test for your progesterone level as well as a blood pregnancy test. Good Luck.

Answer 9

I skip mine all the time. have you been under any stress lately? or has the weather been different then normal? those could be factors in it.

Answer 10

sometimes you may not ovulate which means you don't get ur period..could be that??
