Ask Me Help Desk - I'm late with negative hpt

I'm 26. I am now 6 days late on my period. I have been off birth control for 4 months now and as soon as I got off I resumed normal on times except for this month. This is the first time I am ever late. I was supposed to start on Saturday the 28th. I was so sure I was going to start because I was having cramps as usual that started approximately on Wednesday the 25th. I have been having these mild cramps since then and have been having a constant headache and nausea and dizziness/ lightheadedness. My breast aren't really that sensitive. I fine I have been eating more lately and when I do eat I almost gag for certain foods. I have been wanting orange juice really badly. I took a HPT on Wednesday the 1st and when my boyfriend and I looked at it we both think we saw a very very faint line showing that the test came out positive. You have to look really hard to see the line. I took another test yesterday and it came out negative. We are going crazy and I am feeling more nauseous by the minute with this no knowing. Can anyone help or tell me what they think is up... Thanks so much

It is possible it is too early for you to test positive yet. May I suggest you buy digital tests from now on so that it isn't a guessing game. I would wait another few days, and test again. If it hasn't come by week 2 past due, go to your doctor and ask to have a blood test done. The symptoms you described, dizzy, headaches, lightheadedness, are the same symptoms I first show, but these can also be symptoms of a period unfortunately...

I think you should go to the doctors there they can do a blood test its called an BATA HCG test where they test the levels of your hormones in your blood if your levels are high then you are pregnant. Sometimes I know this sounds weird but if you think you are pregnant then your body can have some of the symptoms like nausa and stuff. But if you are 6days late it might just be to soon to tell on thoes home tests that's they I say go and get a test from your doctors. I hope everything works out for you both. I know I prob didn't give you the answer you were looking for but put your head at ease so that way you know for sure. Were you and your boyfriend trying to have a baby?

Well we weren't exactly planning to get pregnant but if it is so then we will accept it.

I am currently in the same situation and have been concerned of my missed period. Similar to most of you, I too have NEVER missed a period unless I was positive for pregnancy (have 3 children). Although my cycles are pretty much off in that it ALWAYS come a few days earlier than the last cycle.. it has never been later than the last cycle. So I am almost 2 weeks late and have visited my regular OBGYN. Initially they took a regular urine test, this came out negative. A few days later they took a blood test... unfortunately this too was negative. I have an appointment next week for full examination "and" x-rays. The only advice for you is I strongly encourage you to monitor your symptoms (I have none) and write them down. Make and appt. with your OBGYN so they can help to rule out certain symptoms and conduct additional tests to ensure there is nothing else going on. I work in the medical field so I do know that stress and diet are a huge factor to delaying your normal cycle, "however", now I'm a victim and have become stumped because there has been absolutely no changes in my daily routine. Good luck and I hope to receive your update.
