I woke up this morning and my boobs are sore :( my last period was August 26-31. I have no idea what is going on and I have absolutely NO insurance! I'm stuck! I have taken 6 tests and all negative. I have no one to turn to and my "friend" is telling me to just go to the ER or quick care. I have a three year old and when I was pregnant with her I knew right away. Please someone give me some insight to my situation. Thank you!

Did you test using first morning urine?

How late is your period?

Yes, I have tested a lot of morning urine! I haven't had a period the past two months. Technically it's a month and a half late. I have no insurance and don't know what to do. I've never had this happen.

Do you have a planned parenthood in your area?

I'm not sure, I'm not in the US. Doesn't hurt to go there and find out.

Yeah, you're right. My friend is going crazy and my family is freaking out because I haven't gotten back on my feet yet. It's a lot to think about and just wish it were easier.

So I went and got a blood test, negative! It still hasn't came and I really hope it's nothing too serious. My back has been hurting lately and my breast hurt but that's it. I am a bigger woman so maybe that could be it? I have never had this happen. I am just freaking out a little bit.

At this point I would suggest that you wait until your next period. Blood tests can give a false positive if you test too early. So wait until your next period. If you miss it than test again using first morning urine.

Freaking out, stressing, can also delay your period. So don't stress (I know, easier said than done) until there's a reason to stress.

Are you saying that blood tests are 100% accurate? If so, I have a few friends you should meet. :)

Human error is a big reason why blood tests aren't always accurate. But, lets discount human error. If you test too soon, no matter what sort of pregnancy test you take, a false negative is possible.

I meant false negative, not positive. So sorry.

My bad! :(

100 lashes for Alty and a mistake I really didn't mean to make. False negative, not false positive. False positives are rare with any test. Sigh. I have nothing to blame this on other than my brain and fingers not working together. :(

I have an appointment the 11 of dec at the health unit. Have u ever heard of inducing it period? A friend of mine said she had to do that. She said she was in so much pain she couldn't walk. I don't think I want to do that :/

Yes, there are medications available to start your period. However, you need to find out what is causing this. A blood test testing your hormone levels would probably give you a diagnosis.

I have no insurance or doctor to go to so how would I do that? I got my blood test from a lab here. I am going on month 3 and it's a little nerve wrecking.

Btw, thank you all for your advice. My friend freaks out and is tired of talking ab it and I have no one else to talk to ab it.
