Could I Be.....

---

hey its me the worrier again lol. I am 3 and half weeks late for my period and i am worried. I did a pregnancy test on saturday and it came out negative but that hasnt put my mind to rest. My boyfriend seems to think im just being silly and that its probably just the pill messing my period up which i suppose could be true.Any advice which be much appreciated.Thanks.....Sellie......x

If you're on the pill and you're late with your period you need to contact your doctor.

Worry can cause your period to be late, but to be honest if i was 3 1/2 weeks late for mine, i would be really worried too. I had 3 negative home pregnancy tests with my first baby, and it was only a blood test that confirmed i was pregnant, the home tests worked first time with my other kids. I would make an appointment to see the doctor and have them do a proper test, then if it comes back negative you will know its correct, be able to relax and probably start your overdue period. Good luck.

does anyone think it could b the fact that im just worrying and the fact ive just finished my exams so the stress from that to?

Stress can mess up you cycle but it still wouldn't hurt to get checked out by a doctor.

See a doctor if you have any worries at all - might put your mind at ease

When you post make sure your replying to the right person. It can get confusing if you don't.

UPDATE: went to the doctors today and she said that i should wait anotha 2weeks to do a pregnancy test but i really cant wait that long, i just want to know now so i can do what i need to do. Does anyone think i should do one soon as or wait the two weeks?

I'd just take the doctors advice. Your gonna get yourself more worked up about by continually trying to take more tests and not getting accurate results.

The doctor didn't offer a blood test? Or did she mean to come back in two weeks?

I'm pretty sure she meant come back in two weeks.

No she didnt offer a blood test and ive got to do the test in two weeks

There are tests that you can use earlier (EPT?), but a blood test would be more definitive. You should call the doctor and ask her why you can't get a blood test.

The Doctor might have just wanted to make sure you get the most accurate results possible. The first few weeks of pregnancy are very critical. The Doctor could also just be trying to take other factors into account.

I agree with Steve. She is already 3 1/2 weeks late with her period. What the heck is the doctor thinking?

I would just go to Planned Parenthood and get a test.

Me again. Well ive taken 3 pregnancy tests now and all of them have come back negative. Im now on course to come on again and yet still havent and would be 4 days late if i hadnt missed a period. Should i go back to the doctors and get a blood test??

Yes, get a blood test. With my first pregnancy i had 3 negative tests, and only a blood test confirmed it at nearly 2 months gone...........only a blood test is conclusive.
