My period is a week late as of today. I have had a bad cold and just got over it. Took 2 preg tests at 2 days late and 5 days late... both were NEG. Should I keep taking tests or am I being rediculous and stressing myself out??

take a test again only if you are late another week. When you are sick, your body changes, and since you're getting over it, it should change back soon. Stress will only make the period later, or cause a miscarriage, so it does no good. take your mind off of it, but mark your calender for a week, incase it hasn't started. You could also see a doctor if you want to know now, they can tell sooner because they can take a blood test. You could be pregnant, but a missed or late period is normal for almost anyone because stress,food, and sickness all affect it. If you weren't eating a lot when you were sick, that could also make it late. GOOD LUCK!

A home pregnancy test says to wait until your 3 to 4 weeks late I took mine at 3 and it was pos. Every one is different though.
Yes worrying about it can have an effect on your period making you late It's easy to say not to stress over it when your wondering, or worrying
You can go to your local Health Dept. and have a preg. test done. Which will tell you yes or no

I would say at 5 days late and a negative you are not pregnant!!!! With all my three, I tested day one and it was positive so quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would wait a week and then see a doctor. Your period can switch up sometimes, meaning when you start, it changed the time of month and ovulation time for you. That is how I got pregnant with my second child, I thought I was soon to start and I had changed up on the time of month so I got pregnant on what was suppose to be my safe time!!!!! I would not stress! But if you do not want to be pregnant, be careful!!!!!!!!! Talk to your doctor after another week and another test then! He can explain why you could be late! Pregnancy test will show a definite positive after one day late!!!!!!!Atleast they always have for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are stressing yourself out. Try to relax. Irregular periods are common. Wait another week, take a test. Then go see your doctor.

I'm wondering what you think having a cold has to do with you being pregnant or not. Anyway, you took two tests, that's pretty well proving you are not pregnant. You should probably see a doctor to determine why you are missing your period.

Stress can make your period late.
Go back to living normally and if you're pregnant it'll certainly show up soon enough.

you might just have a late period, and stressing will make your period take longer to come.

I'm a nurse. Have a blood pregnancy test, it's more accurate. Take care.
