keep doing the tests. It is said that you should do a bunch, because a negative can be false, but when you get a positive it IS definite. Good luck!

You could be testing too early (before your baby is making enough pregnancy hormone to be detected by the test.) And some women (this is fairly rare, but possible) never get a positive urine test even when they're definitely pregnant (for some reason the hormone doesn't make it into their urine.) I have a friend who didn't get a positive HPT until 25 DPO! (With her second baby, a test at 23 DPO was negative . . . but a test on 30 DPO was positive. Oddly enough, with #3, her positive test came at only 12 DPO.) If you get a negative test but think you might be preggo anyway, wait a couple of days (giving the hCG hormone time to build up) and try again. It's not over until the fat lady sings-- and your period crashes the party.
If you are not monitoring your fertility in any way (OPK's, charting cervical mucus or basal temperature, ultrasounds) it becomes extra-tricky. There are two parts to every menstrual cycle: from the start of your period to ovulation, which can vary quite a bit in length, and from ovulation to your next period, which is usually consistent in length. (This second half is known as the "luteal phase," and the normal range is 10-16 days. It's normal for your typical luteal phase to vary by a day or two. For example, mine is normally 11 days, but 10 and 12 are not unheard of either. I have also had a couple of longer ones by total fluke.)
Because ovulation can happen at any time, it's possible your egg was delayed for some reason (stress, illness, travel, excitement.) This doesn't mean your period is actually "late" (it could arrive within the normal 10-16 days after ovulation), but rather than your entire cycle was delayed due to a later-than-usual ovulation.

Yes you can be pregant and the test come up negative but the longer you are pregnant the easier for the hormone that provides positive tests to be detected. In the amount of time that you have indicated you should have come up positive by now. Your diet and stress can also affect your period so maybe one of those is your culprit. But go to the doctor either way to be positive.

The first time I thought I was pregnant I had False negatives for 3 months.. I went to the Dr. and they took blood. That is the best way to find the answer you are looking for. Plus if you do use a home pregnancy test make sure you do it with your first pee pee of the morning. Your hormone level is the highest.. Good Luck..

These people are all crazy. If the test is coming up negative at this point, you are definitely not pregnant.
There are a number of reasons you can lose your period. I lost mine for 6 months due to weight loss. This can also happen with weight gain and stress. Most doctors won't do anything for you until you are at least 6 months without a period, but if you want reassurance, you can go to the doctor.

I would say stop wasting time and money on the home pregnancy tests and go get a blood test. It will tell you positively whether or not you are pregnant. I also tested negative with the urine tests (at home and the hospital), but the blood test is the one that told me I was.

Yes, its called a false negative..meaning your really pregnant even though the test is showing up negative and is really positive. You should go see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test, they are 100% accurate and will tell you for sure if your pregnant or not.

Yep - it can happen. I didn't show as pregnant til I was 7 weeks pregnant with my son.
Consult a doctor - they can do a blood test to detect hormone changes not appearing in urine.
