Periods + Pregnancy.?

Question

I am a week late, i have done a test 2day and it is negative. and now im confussed! it has been 6 1/2 weeks since my last period. i have long periods anyways as in 35 - 41 days between them sometimes, but now that i have gone past that date i am slighty worried! i only bought a cheap test should i try a more expensive one, should i just go to the doctors or do you think i am over reacting and i should hold out?

Answer 1

go to doctors, they will give you a blood test, and if your not pregnant they should be able to tell you why your period is so late.

Answer 2

Pregnancy tests all do the same thing - measure the level of hCG in your urine stream. Most tests are extremely sensitive, measuring levels as low as 10-15 IU/L no matter what the brand. All urine pregnancy tests are pretty much the same as the ones used in the doctor's office. I'm telling you this because if you are pregnant you are getting negatives because there isn't enough detectable hCG in your urine. Use first morning's urine which usually has the highest concentration of hCG.

Since your periods vary greatly 35-41 days I think it is safe to say you are quite possibly testing too early in any case. Periods can be late for a variety of reasons as others pointed out - stress, change in diet/exercise, birth control, etc. I'd wait another week and then give it a go, but of course you can see your doc and talk him/her into giving you a pregnancy test in the meantime if you just can't wait.

Answer 3

So you are roughly on day 45?

Not too bad. I didn't get a positive until I was 5 days late though. So taking your longest cycle you could only be about 4 days late? I would leave it about another 3 days and if it hasn't started then, take another test. Use first morning urine as it is more concentrated and is more likely to detect the pregnancy hormone if its there. If its still negative get a check up at the Docs.

Answer 4

My best friend was a week late and she did 2 clear blue pregnancy tests on the Friday which both showed negative, she went to see her doctor first thing Monday morning who did a test, which came back positive. Go see your doctor, as he/she will be able to confirm for definite whether or not you're pregnant. Good luck!

Answer 5

Try testing again but there are loads of reasons why your period could be late - stress, worry, change in diet or exercise. See a doc if the test comes back negative again and your period doesn't start soon.

Answer 6

In this case, expensive does not equal more accurate. Your cheap pregnancy test is fine. Wait a few days and then test again. Sometimes early tests show a false negative.

Answer 7

Go to the doctors. They wont give you a blood test if you don't want one, but they may send you to a gynaecologist for a quick scan.

If the tests negative then it's negative - doesn't matter how much it cost.

Go and get checked out though. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Answer 8

you shouldn't try a more expensive test the cheap ones do work trust me a bought one from the pound shop and it came out positive and i am pregnant.You may still be pregnant you may have just done the test too early.my advice is to either do another one or go see your doctor

good luck

Answer 9

Wait another week or so,then try again if you cant wait that long go to doctors if your not pregnant the doctor can help explain why your late
