    Five days is not always late, especially if you are stressing. Stress does terrible things to our bodies.

    The symptoms you describe may be the beginning of your period and you are just late. Try taking another test in about a week. It is possible that you may be pregnant but the hormone levels were not high enough to be detected at this point. If that still comes back negative you need to schedule an appointment with your doctor to find out what is going on. If it comes back positive it will be time to make a prenatal appointment.

    Have you gone to see your doctor yet? Getting an exam can get you more definite answers. I know that it doesn't seem like a lotta stress, but worryingabout why you are late, and hoping you are preggy can really throw off your periods. (I had this happen a lot when I was trying)

    5 days is a short time. If it were me, I would wait for a week, if it didn't come, I would go to the doc before taking another hpt. Getting an exam could prove more effective then another hpt. But that is just me. I spent so much money on hpts in the year I was trying to conceive, that I finally decided to wait it out for two weeks late, get a blood test/see a doctor. Good luck, hope you find out soon.

    Just wait it out. I know how stressful it can be, even when you swear you aren't stressing. I'm trying to conceive for 6 months now, and I learned my lesson. I went 3 weeks late and had to take meds to get my cycle started back up. As soon as you "quit trying" and stop stressing over whether you will get your period or are pregnant it will happen! Good luck!

    Thanks buggage & automansgirl

    Yeah I think I will wait it out now until I decide to see my doc!
    Going to do another test on Monday morning hoping that will detect weather I am or not!

    Thanks for replying too x x

    Did you do another test? What were the results? I'm 5 days late today. I took a test on the day of my expected period and another one 3 days ago. Both were negative. I'm getting really anxious and don't know if I should wait until Monday (it's Friday today) to do another one or just get it over with and do one in the morning. I'm having mild cramps and am pretty gassy. My nipples are a little more sensitive than usual too. Thoughts? Ideas? I thought it could have been stress, but I wasn't stressed during my time of ovulation. We've only been trying for 1 month, so I'm HOPING I'm one of the few that has success so early on. Wish me luck!

    I would wait until you are at least 1 week late, then re test using the first urine you pass when you wake up, if that is negative and you stlll don't get your period, wait until you are at least 10 days late and ask the doctor to take a pregnancy blood test. Good luck.
