i'm 24 yo and have had regular cycles since stopping my birth control in 2004. My last cycle was on Dec. 30, which lasted about 3 days and was very light. I'm now 18 days late (should have started about Jan. 30) and received 2 negative hpt results. I haven't noticed much change in my breast however I've been extremely tired, feel really bloated and am constantly wanting salty foods. I've also had a weird metal-like taste in my mouth which makes most food taste funny. Has anyone else experienced these types of things? All feedback and thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

Honestly, they sound like pregnancy symptoms but that said, i went through a rough stage a couple of years ago where I stopped taking the pill and had normal monthly periods for a few months then stopped suddenly and was worried I was pregnant. I took a test and it came back negative. I felt moody, hungry, bloated and most symptoms were the same as those of PMS before I even started the pill. I started the pill because of the many big problems I had with my menstruation.
I'd see a doctor if I were you, to be on the safe side. It'd be a simple blood test. Otherwise you may be just like me in that your body was finally realising you werent dependent on the contraceptive pill to ovulate so give it a few weeks, even months (like me) and you'll finally have your period.

Those definitely sound like pregnancy symptoms but if you are 18 days late it should be showing up now but it is possible the hcg level isn't high enough yet to detect the pregnancy! Go to the doctor and get a blood test done! Foolproof

Those are definitely signs of pregnancy...especially the metallic taste....I would take another HPT using first morning urine because it is the most concentrated...If it is still NEG then I would suggest going to the Dr. for a blood test to be sure....Sometimes a urine test doesnt pick up on a pregnancy right away so a blood test is your best bet....Good Luck!

Well i would have to say that it should be showing up on a pregnancy test if you are pregnant since you are that late so maybe you need to see a doctor.
