Period 6 days late but pregnancy test negative

[bambiboo78]

I'm 6 days late for my period on a usually very regular 28 day cycle, i had unprotected sex 18 days ago in what i now know was my fertile week, i've never been pregnant before so not sure what symptoms i should be feeling if i was pregnant, i feel normal no sickness or stomach pain, i've never missed a period before or been this late, is it possible i'm pregnant even though the test (taken today) is negative?

[cathfromsaron]

if you have had unprotected sex, then yes you should consider the possibility!

'safe' periods don't actually exist as the egg can be fertilised for a while during the cycle!

what about a visit to GP tomorrow?

Yepp....unusual but one can get false negatives.

Test again in one week.

[bambiboo78]

Thanks, yes i've just been researching on the net & it is possible i am, would be a massive shock if i was, will retest this week & visit my gp only if i get a positive

18 days ago you were very likely ovulating so yes. Test in a week and test 1st wee of the morning. Xx

Another negative test today but still no period, got an appointment with gp next week to find out cause, thanks for your answers guys x

bamboo...a stupid question I know, but what do you expect the doctor to do or say to a woman who walks in and says..."Doctor, I am 2 weeks late with my period and two pregnancy tests are negative"...?

[bambiboo78]

Well i'd like to know the reason it could be something sinister.. like i say i have never ever missed a period or been more than 2 days late so i'd like to know nothing is wrong, also the gp can give me a blood test to rule out pregnancy

Sqad if I was her Gp, I would say "Hello Mary."

[bambiboo78]

Why would you say hello mary?

[DTCwordfan]

Could somebody explain "immaculate conception" to bambi......

[bambiboo78]

Why would it be immaculate i had unprotected sex with my bf you fool

[DTCwordfan]

In other words, and more seriously, follow the advice expressed here already. If your tests are neg, then you are neg. You are probably stressing yourself out a bit, hence the delay.......my 1st serious gf and I crapped bricks when she was a week late, but then the flood came.

[DTCwordfan]

look bambi, there's no need for insults, unless you want suspending.

[chaptazbru]

Are you a moderator DT ?

[Sqad]

\\\it could be something sinister.\\\

Extremely unlikely with someone who is is 2weeks overdue her period.

Blood pregnancy tests.......fair enough.

[bambiboo78]

lmao suspending why don't you butt out of links that don't concern you!!! pregnancy tests don't always show positive straightaway every woman is different... i would welcome 'the flood' as you put it... i've never had a missed period before i had sex on the day i was ovulating i'm hardly overreacting. Maybe you should go find a gf of your own & get yourself another scare or butt out of mine!!!!!

[DTCwordfan]

Nope chapta, or she would be on her bike.

[bambiboo78]

I'm 7 days late today.. i may not even go to the gp i just booked it today in case my period doesn't turn up in the next week, yes sinister highly unlikely but still i like to take care of my reproductive system i do after all want children

[chaptazbru]

DT I'm a fan of yours as I'm sure you know, but don't you think you were a tad harsh ?

[DTCwordfan]

ok that I will accept, my second point explains what I think though - i.e to get a second test etc - and also that stress can count - the young woman is going too far on her insults back though - she has no idea of my marital situation.

What I was talking about was years ago too......
