    Hi Tulli,

    Sometimes cycles are just off a bit and your period arrives a little later than usual. Sometimes a pregnancy doesn't show on a urine test so soon. It often has to do with when you happened to ovulate and implantation occurs... sooner ovulation and implantation, sooner it is likely to show a positive; later ovulation and implantation, it will naturally take longer.

    Your timing would generally be spot on, but there is more to getting pregnant than timing alone, and it can happen where ovulation occur outside your usual norm once in awhile. This is partly why, while most healthy couples will become pregnant within a year of trying, some will take longer still.

    Either give it another week and, if still no period, try another test at that time, making certain to follow the directions carefully, or you could see your doctor about having a test done in office.

    Um... testing 5 times and you are only three days late... I think that's seriously over reacting.

    You should be 14 days late before you take the first test... any earlier and any HPT you take will be very likely to return a negative test result, even if you are.

    I don't know a single woman who is over the age of 25 who has never been 3 or more days late without a pregnancy being involved. I know many who have been a week or more late when they haven't even been having sex. If you see the point I'm getting at... that every woman is going to be a little late from time to time... and 3 days is very little to be late. So wate another 11 days, then take another, right after you wake up...first time you pee that morning...and see then. I think you are likely to have your period start before then.

    You are getting negative results because you are testing too soon. HPTs have less than 50% accuracy in the first week after your due date. And calculating due dates is guess work. Also the symptoms you describe could be anything, even if you are pregnant it is too soon for such symptoms to manifest themselves.

    What until you are about 2 weeks late, then, if you still haven't gotten you period, take the tests again.
