My period is now like 4 or 5 days late and I have been really tired lately, going to the bathroom like non stop, craving odd food (stuff i don't eat at all!), feeling sick and having slight cramping (it feels like i might get my period but it just hasn't come yet. Could I be pregnant!? I took 3 pregnancy tests and they all came back negative but you can have a false negative.

How soon can you even take a pregnancy test? Cuz i took my tests before my missed period cuz i thought i was.

Yes if the embryo doesn't produce enough hcg. Some women don't have a possitive hpt until 4 weeks after their missed period (8 weeks preggie). If in a week you don't get your period, you should see a doctor or a local pregnancy center for a free test (generally the test is more sensitive and if its negative a nurse can help try figure out why your late). A doctor would administer a blood test which is 100% accurate as early as 10 days past ovulation.

Yes you can have a false negative. The way the pregnancy tests work is that they test for the presence of HCG (Human Chorionic Growth) Hormone in your urine. If you just got pregnant you might not have enough HCG in your urine for it to show up. Right now start taking pre-natal vitamins since they are good to take if you are trying to get pregnant and avoid alcohol and cigarettes. Also if you drink too much water and then try to urinate your HCG level might get diluted which can also give you a false negative. Take the test after a couple of more days and use your first urine in the morning. Make sure you don't pee more than 5 seconds on it, that can also ruin the results.
Good Luck.

I'm not ruling out the possibility of you being pregnant, but a few months ago the same thing happened to me. When a person thinks about something (cramps, cravings, etc.) their subconsious makes it happen (sort of). This is what happend to me. Two negatives, A week and a half late, and i got my period in the end. Try going to the doctor for a blood test.

You are not pregnant. Think about it. You took three tests, all of which are saying negative, after your missed period. It might be possible for one of the tests not to work correctly, but not all three. I'm sure you are just worrying and producing symptoms that are similar, and also preventing your period with your worry. Women do it to themselves all the time. If you simply need peace of mind and the home pregnancy tests just aren't giving it to you, please make an appointment with your doctor, OB/GYN or go to a pregnancy clinic and have a blood test done. They will measure your hCG levels and that is about as accurate as it gets.
Best of luck to you. :)

It's probably possible, but all of those common symptoms of pregnancy don't just show up that early. If you've taken 3 tests and they're all negative, chances are you're not pregnant. Go to a doctor and he'll do a blood test and you'll know for sure.

Yes, it is true that it could be a false negative. Best thing to do is to go see your doctor. He can order a blood pregnancy test that actually measures the amount of HCG (pregnancy hormone). This is more accurate than a urine test. I wish you the best of luck.

If three tests came back negative, then you're not pregnant. They would be positive by now. You should go check you're cycle online somewhere and see if you possibly even had sex on the day that you could have been impregnated.
