i was supposed to start the 5th or 6th, but i haven't started yet. I took a test on th4 6th day (first response, supposedly the most sensitive), 7th, 8th, and 11th, all negative. could i still be or is there something else it could be. i am very stressed, and was all month long. i was screwed over a lot, planes, switching areas, ugh. my bf almost always uses a condom or pulls out way before ( i know i can get pg from precum, hence why im worried)... can anyone tell me how long blood test results take?

The number-one cause of irregular or skipped periods is emotional stress. The typical scenario is worrying that you might be pregnant and then actually missing your period because you're worried. Other stress-related situations revolve around career changes, job loss, a death in the family, moving, exams, and overwhelming workloads. It's not really understood why stress can cause you to miss a cycle, but a missed cycle is considered a protective mechanism, a sort of prehistoric parachute in the female body. The body senses the stress level and decides somehow to stop ovulation for that month, preventing a "stressed" pregnancy.Overdieting and overexercising can also affect your cycle. For example, sudden weight loss could cause you to miss your period or cause a long bout of irregular cycles. Overexercising can also cause you to miss your period, and it's actually not unusual for female athletes to stop menstruating when they're in training.Another cause of irregular cycles could be a thyroid disorder of some sort. The thyroid gland regulates your metabolism by secreting thyroid hormone. When the gland is overactive (and secretes too much thyroid hormone), known as hyperthyroidism, you can either miss periods or have a much longer cycle than normal. Meanwhile, your period is shorter, with a scanty or light flow. On the flip side, when the gland is underactive (and doesn't secrete enough hormone), known as hypothyroidism, your cycles can become shorter, while the period itself is longer, with a much heavier flow than normal. Thyroid problems occur in about one in twenty women.

I am not sure how long blood tests take but if you are very stressed that very well could be why you have not started your period yet. Call your doctor and make an appointment just in case.

A blood test should be fairly quick. I doubt you're pregnant from what you described though. Stress, travel, and illness can all delay a period. Call the Dr. and find out for sure!

The earliest you'll get a constructive being pregnant experiment outcome is eight days beyond ovulation. That is the earliest - you're going to now not have the being pregnant hormone within the urine till eight-12 days beyond ovulation. IT takes that lengthy for implantation to arise after which a few days to construct up sufficient of the hormone to discover it within the urine. So you'll be trying out too early. If your spouse is aware of while she ovulated, depend 12-14 days beyond that after which experiment. Good good fortune.
