    Give it another week and try another test if still no period... or ask your doctor about having a blood test done. Treat yourself as though you are likely pregnant and start on a prenatal vitamin if you haven't already (good to be on even when trying to conceive)... change any habits that might be beneficial for you and possible baby. Good luck!

    Thanks.. I tried taking folic acid tablets for a week or so but every time I took them I just felt ill.. I don't smoke or drink much.. so I'm OK there. Thanks you have given me some hope.. :)

    Might try getting the folic acid in a regular mutivitamin or a prenatal vitamin instead of on it's own and see if that helps. You'll also find the 400 mcg of folic acid in many children's vitamins and they work better for some women. You can also be sure to include the many foods and drinks that are fortified with folic acid for good measure.

    Thanks... by the sound of it would you say I was pregnant? So you think a multi vitamin would be good, I might ask the pharamacist :D

    You've got the symptoms, so it's possible. A multivitamin won't hurt whether you are pregnant or not, especially if you know your diet could be better.

    Usually a pregnancy test won't show up for positive for 4-6 weeks after your missed period, and symptoms vary between people so it is possiable. I had the same problem when I became pregnant. Take folic acid, and otc pre-natels. Wish you the best...
