i still havnt had a period and pregnancy test came up negative?

Question

me and my partner have been trying for a baby so i done a pregnancy test 4 weeks after we had unprotected sex and im 100% sure that i saw a very very faint line, i repeated the test one week later and yet again i saw a very fain line- but then looking back at it im thinking it could be an evaporation line BUT the very very clear sort of colourless line did appear within 10 minuits, SO then i done another pregnancy test a week later using a cheaper brand and it came up negative BUT my last period was 7 weeks ago. So im just need some help on what to think, is there a chance that maybe i still could be pregnant?

Answer 1

Go to http://www.peeonastick.com for all the info anyone would need concerning taking pregnancy tests

You could be pregnant. Go for a blood test , it will show up that you are 7 days after conception.

If you aren't pregnant go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating.

My period is really late, but my HPT's are still negative. What's up? For women who chart their fertility: One of the main causes of a delayed period (extra-long luteal phase with high temps) with negative pregnancy tests is a luteal cyst. In a nutshell: when you ovulate, your egg ruptures from a small follicle. This follicle is known as the "corpus luteum" (literally means "yellow body," named for its color, and is the origin of the term "luteal phase.")

Anyway, the corpus luteum produces progesterone. In the event of pregnancy, this progesterone will support the growing embryo until the placenta takes over and makes enough progesterone for itself. Then the corpus luteum shrivels up and stops functioning.

In the event that there is NO pregnancy, the corpus luteum also shrivels up and stops functioning-- ending the luteal phase. The drop in progesterone causes your period to begin.

SOMETIMES, however, there is no pregnancy, but the corpus luteum turns into a small cyst and continues to secrete progesterone long after it's supposed to stop. This is called a luteal cyst, and is responsible for too many false hopes! (Progesterone also causes PMS and pregnancy-like symptoms, such as tender breasts.) If this is the problem, it's simple to resolve (usually a single injection takes care of it) but your doctor needs to see you! Note: this type of cyst is not the same type associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS.) Women with PCOS are no more or less likely to develop a luteal cyst, and women who develop luteal cysts do not necessarily have PCOS. Luteal cysts do not cause false positive HPT's.

For women who don't chart and simply note the length of each cycle: It's much harder to know what's really going on in your body. There are two parts of a menstrual cycle: Day 1 (the first day of your period) until ovulation (which can happen on any day-- the "Day 14 ovulation" is a myth); this phase can vary widely. (Sometimes women do see some sort of pattern-- for instance, I generally ovulate between Day 15 and Day 19; however, it has happened as early as Day 12 and as late as Day 35! This is why the "calendar rhythm method" of birth control doesn't work-- past cycles can't predict future variation. By the way, NFP is not the rhythm method; it has an efficacy rate of 98-99% when used properly.)

The time between ovulation and your next period, known as the "luteal phase," is fairly consistent. (A normal luteal phase is 10-16 days; whatever yours happens to be, it will probably only vary by a day or two.) Ovulation is delayed by stress-- all kinds of stress, even good stress-- so illness, travel, excitement, or even a random fluke can cause your egg to be tardy. (Note: stress cannot delay your period once ovulation has occurred.) So, if you are expecting, say, a 30-day cycle and you're having negative tests and no period by Day 35, it's possible that you simply ovulated later than usual, and your period will arrive as normal at the end of your usual luteal phase.

So, to use myself as an example again, I usually have 11 day luteal phases (LP's.) This means occasionally I have a 10 or 12-day LP. So my period would be "late" if it hadn't started 13 days after ovulation. Therefore, if I ovulate on Day 15, I would be "late" by Day 28. If I ovulate on Day 19, I'm not "late" until Day 32. My rare Day 35 ovulation meant I wasn't "late" until Day 48!

In sum, if you are not monitoring your fertility in any way (charting, OPK's, fertility monitor, saliva ferning patterns, etc.) there are a lot of cycle variables of which you may be unaware. If your period is later than expected but your HPT is negative, test again a week later. If it's still negative, you may simply want to wait and test again in a week. If you are taking medications (including hormonal contraceptives) or have other issues that would affect a pregnancy, you should talk to your doctor ASAP if you suspect pregnancy, regardless of your HPT results (a blood test may be recommended.)

Good luck

Answer 2

My last period was 6 weeks ago. I did 2 pregnancy tests and i got very very faint blue lines. I re- did the test a week later and still only a very faint line! I got really upset not knowing, so i took the stick to my doctor, The doctor told me i am pregnant but only very early pregnant (just 5 weeks) and that is why i have such faint lines (Low levels of the pregnancy hormone) You may be like me, pregnant, but not yet got a high enough amount of the hormone. see your doctor for a test or do what i did get a pregnancy test the detects very low hormones (first response, early result pregnancy test) i got mine in boots. good luck!

Answer 3

I took a cheap test twice, within the first week i thought i was pregnant, and it came up negative both times. I waited a few days and took a digital test, and it came out positive. If that line is positive, there will be no doubt about it. I have seen that faint line come up a few times, and it doesn't mean anything. After seven weeks though, how do you feel? You should definitely go to a doctor. Or try Planned Parenthood. When I was pregnant in college, I couldn't have been more than 5 weeks, and they (planned parenthood) gave me a sonogram, and I could actually see that little guy in there!

Answer 4

If you can't afford to go to the doctor, there are clinics or the health department that will do a pregnancy test for free or reduced cost. You may have just skipped a period from stress or something, but if it's been this long you should find out for sure. Good luck.

Answer 5

Evaporation lines are definately colorless and either look like a dent in the strip or just lighter than the strip. Go to www.peeonastick.com they have pictures of all sorts of situations with pregnancy tests.

Answer 6

You should call your doctor and have them do a blood test. Then you will knoe for sure. There may be some other medical reason. You could be so stressed about trying or thinking so much your making your body think you are which can happen. Please for the best answer to your question call your doctor they will know whats going on.
