Ask Me Help Desk - Could I Be Pregnant?

I was due on my period Friday 7th November, and didn't come on until Wednesday 12th. I am never late on my period I regularly come on every 3 weeks. Me and my husband have been trying especially around the ovulation time. I've tried several pregnancy tests and all of them have come up negative.

The last time I fell pregnant I received a positive on a pregnancy test when I was 3 days late. Would it be the same this time? Could I be pregnant?

Odds are your period is just off this cycle. It can happen once in awhile for many reasons, or for no obvious reason at all.

See how you feel in the next few weeks, or wait until your next period is due and see what happens at that time. If you still feel that you might be pregnant, try another test in about a week's time.

I have the same question or similar as well. I keep track of my periods on my calendar and get it almost the same time every month. This month, more than any other month, I am late, so far by 13 days. Starting maybe 4-5 days ago, I have been feeling pretty nauseous especially when I lay down at night and go to sleep. I have more frequent urination happening and I have taken several pregnancy test (different brands) to check and they all came back negative.

My husband and I don't use condoms and he does release inside me as we have been trying to get pregnant for seven or so months already. We have both been preparing ourselves by taking prenatal vitamins (me) and eating healthier and exercising.

We don't have any stress in our lives, my husband goes to the university on some days and work on others, and same with me. We would like to have a home pregnancy test come up positive first before we make a visit to the doctor to be sure, but wanted to be sure first.

I feel nauseous majority of the day (no vomiting though); tender breast (which are normal for me when I get my period too); sleep WAY more especially during the day; have been going to the bathroom a lot more frequently; some white discharge (not yellow); sleeping at night is uncomfortable and have been waking up so many times from weird dreams every night (normally doesn't happen).

Since I am 13 days late, should I still wait about a week or so more before I try a pregnancy test again? They are expensive, even if you buy frequently at the dollar store and are as effective. Or should we just visit the doctors office and not test in about 2 weeks?

Hi
I am hoping someone can please shed some light on my situation..

My partner and I decided to try for a baby for the 1st time last month, and had sex around my ovulation time. I am now 9 days late which isn't my norm as I'm very regular however when doing a home test ( a few home test ) they have said negative

As I have never been pregnant before I'm very eager to find out one way or the other, I am booked in at my GP on Monday so if I haven't got my period by then ,I shall take a blood test...
I was just wondering if anyone has been in my position before as like I mentioned I'm never late!

Thanks xx

It really is whatever you would be most comfortable with. You can set an appointment with your doctor if you don't want to take another home test, or you can wait until your next period would be due and see what happens. You are already doing what your doctor would recommend in the beginning anyway by taking care of yourself.

Since you have been trying to become pregnant, are about two weeks late, and having some possible symptoms, I'd try another test several days, or a week, after the last one you took. If still negative, see what happens with your next period and certainly see your doctor before that time if you continue to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms or they get even stronger.
