Has this ever happen to anyone, I have all kinds of symptoms or pregnancy, Bloating, sore breasts, Fatigue, and menstral cramping but no bleeding.. I am a week late , so I took a at home pregnancy test and it came up negative. Some people have told me that could be because my pregnancy hormones are too low still.. that its happen to them, where their tests were negative for a good month before it came up positive on a Home Pregnancy test.

Hi, it has happened to me once a long time ago. I read up about it. They say after fertilisation has occurred it takes the egg 7 - 14 days to move down the fallopian tube and to attach itself to the uterus. Only after it is attached does your body let off the vital hormone that the pregnancy test picks up. Hope this bit of info helps.

You are only a week late, in the medical community this is not considered late for even the most regular gal. Sometimes our periods are just off whack for one reason or another. Stress is just one of those reasons.

Remember that pregnancy symptoms and premenstrual symptoms can be exactly alike, especially if you are late.

If you do not get your period in another week, test again. Be sure to use first morning urine as it gives the most accurate results.

Have you had a lot to be stressed out about as well? Or have you been particularly active over the past little while? I lost my period for a whole year after joining the military, due to high physical activity, and I thought I was pregnant for months.

Alos, you said you took one HPT so far. It can take several before you get a positive. Take another 2 days after the first one and then continue every 2 days until you either get a positive or you get your period. The hCG hormon doubles every 2 days, and that's what the HPT detects.

You could also simply go to your family doctor and get a urine test done. They can detect 5mUI/hcG rather than the standart 50mUI/hCG that early HPTs detect or the 100mUI/hCG that reg HPTs detect.

Good luck.
