I didn't start my period today... :)
I don't have any period symptoms ( usually they start a week before, but no cramps or anything this month) A little bit after trying to concieve I had a pinkish discharge and ab. cramps a week later... at that time i wasn't even thinking if I got preg. Just the past few days its been running through my head like crazy.
Maybe stressing about if I'm preg. or not made it not come, I don't know, but if thats the case if i still took the test today would it tell me? Well im not really stressed, more excited.... Let me know what you think advice is greatly appreciated xox
(p.s. no comments please if your going to be immature about serious issues people go though, yeah there's some people on here like that and I'm sorry for them)

First of all, you can *only* have any signs (not symptoms--pregnancy is *not* a disease!!) of pregnancy the week before your period would have started (or after you miss it). This is because until that time, in a sense at least, you *cannot* be pregnant...
You ovulate about 2 weeks before your next period. It takes at least about a week for the fertilized egg to reach the uterus and start implanting. Until implantation, it is *not* attached to your body in any way...so it can't cause any physical changes.
Next...stress *cannot* cause your period to be late. Your period is *always* right on time--about 2 weeks after ovulation. Once you ovulate, it *causes* a series of events that *always* brings your period on.
Stress *early* in your cycle can cause a late ovulation...which will then make your period *appear* to be late. But, again, your period is exactly on time--if you ovulate 10 days late, your period will start 10 days after you expect it. So no, stressing about your period will *not* make it late. Stress at least 2 weeks *before* your period is what makes your period "late".
Cramps are not typical signs of early pregnancy. Before the first missed period, the only common signs are breast and/or nipple tenderness and nausea.
*Not* having signs that your period is on its way *is* a definite fact in favor of pregnancy. However, that *could* be caused by your excitement that you might be pregnant...so there's no way to tell really.
I would say that there's no way to tell if you are or aren't pregnant. But it's definitely a possibility. Pregnancy tests are most accurate if taken about a week after the first day of your missed period.
For more details on all of the above (and, especially if it turns out that you are *not* pregnant), please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler. It will give you all the information you need to have the best possible chance of getting pregnant as quickly as possible.
Good luck!!

If your period was supposed to start today, a home pregnancy test will give you your answer. The spotting and cramps you notice could have been the egg implanting on the uterine wall. Stress can cause weird things to happen, too, though.
Use a home pregnancy test and good luck :)

Pregnancy tests are pretty accurate the day of your missed period. If it is negative though, you may want ro retest in a day or so. If still no period, you may just want to go to the doctor and get a blood test to see. Some women don't show pregnancy in the home urine tests and have to get the blood test..
Best wishes to you!

If you were supposed to start today you can take a test and find out if you are pregnant. (E.P.T. advertises it is very accurate at this point). Good Luck, either way you're wishing for.!
