I am about a week and a half late, I took a test after a few days late then again at one week late, they both came back negative. What should I do?

Go to your doctor and ask for a blood test. That being said, it is common for women to experience an irregular period now and then. Stress in particular can delay your AF. It could just be late. Are you on any hormonal birth control?

No, I've been off the shot for about 3 or 4 years now.

OK I only asked because the first year off a hormonal BC (2 years with the shot at times) can be a little unpredictable. It is possible that it is just too early to test. I know women well into their second trimester who never tested positive on a test. But it is also possible to just be late. The doc will test the levels in your blood. Ask for a quantitative test. It is much more accurate than the HPT. Good luck.
