It might be a good idea to start thinking of baby names.

Like some other people said; it could just be stress delaying your cycle. Best advice is to try and relax, wait a day or two, then test again. Make sure to do it first thing in the morning, as your first trip to the bathroom will carry the most HCG in it if you are pregnant. I would say if you continue to be late for more than about another week or two, and continue to get negatives, give the doc a call and see if they want to run some tests.

a friend of mine tested every other day for three months when she was late. never did get a positive... her son is now 5.
My cousin took 4 tests before going to the doctors, two were pos, and two were neg. the negs were after the pos's.... lol The baby's birthday is next monday. ;)
I start my period the day AFTER i take EVERY test i've ever taken... never had a pos.
don't stress out. just stressing alone can cause you to miss your period and/or misscarry. it's not worth it. and it's especially not worth the money you're wasting!! lol
Go to the doctor when you're a week or two late. till then, just relax. and if you don't want any more kids, try BC. Yasmin worked really well for me. it's super low dose and i didn't get the strange mood swings and stuff like i did with all the other ones.
Good luck!! hope you get the result you are wanting!!! :)

I had the same thing exactly with the 13th day of the cycle having sex, I didn't have a positive test until i was 7 days late, if you really need to know go to the doctors and have then do a blood test.

it could be stress that is keeping your period from coming. High hopes can make it late too.
You should have a positive by now, since it takes about 14 days from conception for even the cheapest HPT to get a positive, but sometimes women take a little more time to build enough pregnancy hormone to be detected. test again no sooner than 2 days from now, but maybe longer.
You have only a 20% chance of getting a positive.

Wait another week, then try the test again. Maybe your hormones are in full gear yet. I had to check the test 3 different times, the first time it was negative, tried a week later and it was sorta there....then I tried again the next day and it was bright as ever.

I took two negative tests before I got a positive. My doctor told me that sometimes the hormones that pregnancy tests test for take a little while to get high enough for a positive read.

RELAX! Stressing yourself out could be causing you to be late. Not every pregnancy is the same, so maybe you actually are and you're just running differently that with the last 3. Patience...

Try not to stress out, wait a couple more days then test again, or go to a clinic and get a blood test! Good luck and Congrats, it sounds very promising!!!

I would try (I know it's hard) to wait a little longer. I had to wait for over a week before I got a + on a hpt.....
Good luck x

try a early pregnancy test which can show a + know and even three days before your missed pregnancy test. or wait a week and try again.
