Good luck!!! A heads up, even if it is negative, look for the following symptoms to see if you should go to the docs for another test!
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.

The most important thing to do is to not stress out. I know that is easier said then done, but it really is best. Keep trying and don't expect it to happen. This will keep the pressure off and the stress level to a minimum. Remember what they say...things happen when you least expect them!
If your HPT comes back negative, do see your doctor and tell them how you've missed your period the past two months. Again, missing it could be a symptom of stress. Have you been working out more than normal? That too can cause missed periods. Your doctor will be able to better answer these questions and give you ideas on how to relieve your stress.
If you have more serious problems, there are other alternatives so don't worry...Stressing is not good for you, your future baby or your relationship with your significant other. Enjoy each other, talk about your future, stay happy and the baby will come along before you know.

Your period really has nothing to do with being pregnant or not. Many girls skip months or even a year without a period but are never pregnant, others have been pregnant but continued to have regular periods. If you are wanting to be pregnant then before you take the test have a little talk with yourself and realize that if it is negative you can always keep trying. If you don't want to be pregnant then realize that there are options, friends or family members who could raise the baby for you.
Good luck!

Hang in there. I would suggest getting a blood test from your doctor being two months late. Sometimes the pregnancy hormone that the HPT tests look for does not show up as well in some women.

Even if it is negative, you should keep trying, don't let it get you down. If you aren't pregnant and haven't had a period in 2 months you might want to see a doctor to make sure that nothing is wrong. Good luck!

Go ahead and take the test. Just prepare yourself for a negative so if it's positive you'll be surprised. However if it comes back negative, then you need to see your doctor. If don't get your periods then you'll never get pregnant. There are medications that can help you. Good Luck!!

If you are two months late on your period then you MUST be pregnant unless your old enough and you have reached menopause then thats a different story. Take the test and if its negative take another one they are not always right. I was a month pregnant and kept getting a negative untill I did about five of them.

Have your cycles always been off? Do you feel different, usually you feel a little off. Maybe nausea, sore boobs are the worst. By all means go out and buy the test. Let us know if you're pregnant, if not maybe call your OB to see what might be going on.

Well if it is positive or negative either way you should go see your doctor. It could be anything form a pregnancy to some new medication you are on. So talk to your Dr or seek medical assistance. Good Luck!

Do the EPT but then go see a doctor. This is big. Don't wait. Positive means you're pregnant. Depending on what you want. Consider naming the baby after me.
