Irregular period but never this much. I have had cramps and a feeling that my period is coming but nothing! Help!

Exactly how and what time are you taking the HPT?

Exactly how and what time are you taking the HPT?

I took maybe 20 pregnancy tests in the morning since my period was late. Im not sure what is going on, me and my.boyfriend are not using any protection for a year now and nothing. I thought I am pregnant but still negative pregnancy test!

Just wanted to make sure you took them ONLY right after you wake up... and only the first time you pee that morning.

You would be surprised how many think you can take them whenever they feel like it.

Some couples might spend a couple years trying before they get pregnant... while others even with protection get pregnant the first time they have sex. There is a degree of luck involved... and that assumes neither of you have fertility issues.

THe prevailing opinion is if you have tried a couple years with no results... its time to see a fetility specialist and have you both tested.

But it might be a good idea to see your Gynecologist if you haven't recently. Particularly if your period doesn't come soon and you still test negative.

You need to test only in the morning, as soon as you wake up.

But can not even start testing till you are 14 days late, so now is the first day you could even start actually testing, ( the 18 tests before today were a waste of time and money)

But wait a week and test again, then if next period does not come and still negative, go to the doctor.

But with late period, maybe it was due one week ago and you are really just one week late.
Since periods have not been regular it is harder to estimate

I did take all of them in the morning after I woke up maybe I need to wait another week. I did have some symptoms but not a lot and they come and go that is why I'm not sure.

One more think is that I'm having cramps on and off feeling like my.period should start any minute but nothing for 2 weeks.. Im super tired going to bed at 9pm can't stay up any longer then that.

The only real pregnancy symptom the first 3 or 4 months into a pregnancy is missed periods. Anything else really isn't pregnancy specific.

Might be mostly mental... by that I mean the mind has a powerful effect on the body.(desperatly hoping for, or in fear of a pregnancy for one).. and can delay your period very easily.

Thank you. Im going to see my gyno next week i hope im pregnant and nothing is wrong.

And my last period was May 3-10.. Should have started on the 6th of this month but nothing.. Im usually late for a couple of days but never 2-3 weeks.

You could always have your gynecologist administer an in-office blood pregnancy test... and put your mind at ease either way.
