Hi Honey, here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor
Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.
Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.
You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep
Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.
About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.
Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.
Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.
Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.
This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.
A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.
Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant
Good luck.

i am also about a week and a half late! i have the same symptoms. If you have taken pregnancy tests and they have come out neg. then you are probably puttin a lot of stress on yourself. Not only from work but also troubleing yourself with this situation. Seeing the doctor is the best thing you can do right now. My advice would be take a day off of work and just relax schedule a doctors appointment for late after noon that way you have a good nights rest and you can sleep in. Relax late period can be cause from a lot of other variables! Good luck with whatever happens!

Look into the hospitals in your area...the ones in my area do $15 HcG Blood Tests and the results are released to you in about 3-5 hours. Some of the home pregnancy tests detect different levels of HcG and maybe you are using the same kind of tests when you are testing! Also look into Family Planning or Planned Parenthood, if money is an issue they let you pay on a sliding scale based on your income, they also prescribe birth control and distribute condoms! Good luck to you!

well, obviously your body is in some type of stress from working too much, maybe your stressed out and that's why your period is late. I'd say that the mild cramping your having is cramps. so go see your doctor, but try to calm down a bit, money isn't really everything, your life is everything.

Wait a couple more days. Back pains are not signs of a pregnancy. Those pregnancy tests are pretty accurate so don´t panic.

i have been in your boat. i was late a whole month and i took 3 tests that were all negative. the best advice i can give you is don't freak out and wait. just wait. freaking out will not help you know if you are pregnant or not. patience honey, i know its hard though. (i am not pregnant)
