It`s been a long time since I have posted, sorry!!!!!!!!
BUT........
I have a problem!
AF is late! My last period started 5-16-10, but it was a week early and only lasted 5 days instead of my usual 7-8 days. (According to my period tracker app. I`m 9 days late.) I`ve taken 6 hpts and all are negative. (2 walgreens, 2 dollartree, 2 clearblue digital)
I have back cramps like I`m going to start, but nothing! Dh says my boobs look fuller, ummmmm....I`m always tired.
I really hope I`m not because we can not afford another one and we do NOT have the room.
Is there a chance you could be? Were you guys using anything? I would just try to stay calm, and wait a couple of days and see if you start or take another test. What has been the span of testing? Has your period been pretty clockwork in recent times?
PH paper works no matter where you buy the test. IF you are 9 days late I would bet not.
Are you still nursing? Have you lost a lot of weight recently? Are you stressed more than normal? All of these can impact AF. I'd wait a bit longer and if you are still having symptoms but no results I'd call the doctor... might be a cyst or something playing with your system.

A slight chance I could be........ Don`t even remember when I took them but the last one was Saturday morning. And besides the early af last month and the missing one this month I believe everything has been regular.

((HUGS)) It will all be OK- whatever the outcome.
No, No and No..... lol.
I`m kinda freaking because my mom ( i know 28 years ago lol) didn`t get a positive with hpt`s or blood at the doctors until she was 5 months! They thought she was crazy! lol
I`ve looked it up and many other people don`t get a positive until they are 6-11 weeks along.... ahhhhhhhh.
anyway probably going to test in a few days if I don`t start soon.
I've had crazy periods for as long as I have paid attention, and probably before that but I didn't know. What you're describing is what I deal with often enough. Given that your period started early last month and was shorter, I would expect your period to be later than expected this month. My guess is your hormones are out of sync and the symptoms you're experienceing are in response to your period coming later. It happens all the time to me and I get symptoms exactly like you're describing. Usually, after a short, light cycle (usually 24-26 days) I'll get a cycle ends up being very long (like instead of my normal 28-32 days, it's closer to 40-43 days). I also find that the period after the long wait is heavier than normal. It's annoying but I do always feel tons better than I had for several months previously afterward.
if your period is normally on time and you really are late, i would probably see a doctor for a quick beta test, which would settle it once and for all.
regarding not seeing a line - there is a very very slight chance if you are preganant it could be ectopic - and your hcg levels could be too low to detect on a pee test.
in any case, if you have any abdominal pain i would go in right away just to be sure.
Just another thought to add to the mix. I don't know when you are testing, but it might not be showing up because your pee is not concentrated enough. Thy testing first thing in the morning. I know the only test that worked for me was the EPT Early Response for the first couple of weeks.
I would say 95% of the time I have a 28 day cycle. Not on the pill I've had my period be 2 weeks late a couple of times. I assumed I was pregnant but all the test were negative. I even thought I was having pregnancy symptoms. It can't hurt going to the doc and finding out for sure.
