so i've recently had my period march 28th and have had that date for months now, have never been late on it. yet, on april 23rd had unprotected sex and missed the period due to arrive april 28th. i've had 3 negative pregnancy tests but multiple symptoms. i am verrry tired, naseaus every morning for about 4 days now, headaches everyday, back pain, i had slight discomfort in the abdomen on the 28th and 29th but it was not cramping. yet i did not spot or bleed this whole month of april. i am eating like crazy but thats normal excpet mroe than normal and craving food i've never really ate a lot. i kno it would be too early to determine by this month but last month i had unprotected sex onthe 22nd of march but got my period the 28th of march except it was lighter than normal. any suggestion?? im so confused and just want to kno.

You can go to your doctor and get a serum pregnancy test (blood).

i would but i have no insurance and no job to pay for it. i dont want to go to my parents until i am definitely sure. but it looks like i may have to sooner. i used 2 dollar store tests and went to planned parenthood? all they told me was its likely but they dont know for sure.

but since the tests you took have all come back negative you still are at a stump.
maybe you should try waiting a week or a couple days and try the test again.
you should at least talk to your mom about it, because a missed period could mean there could be something wrong with your body if it has not come yet, as well as pregnancy.

Or maybe your not pregnant. That almost exact thing happened to me in Jan and I just "knew" I was pregnant and I wasnt! I never skipped a period before either, and when I did I was sick and had all the pregnancy symptoms. I hope that you get what you want. If your wanting to be pregnant good luck, and if not, try not to worry about it because worrying about it can delay your period! Good luck! God bless!

I'm confused as to why Planned Parenthood would tell you it's "likely" when your results were negative. Because you had unprotected sex pregnancy is possible, but I wouldn't say "likely" to a scared girl who tested negative multiple times.

I think it's much more likely that your period is simply late. If it was due on the 28th like you claim, it's only 3 days late. If a pregnancy was delaying your period, making you nauseous and eat like crazy, you should be testing positive.

Wait another week. If your period still doesn't come, test again or ask Planned Parenthood if they have access to blood testing. In the meantime, try to relax. Stress can further delay your period.

Good luck.

yeah i dont rely on planned parenthood very much on that, my cousin had been told that she could have been pregnant the same day bc they "didnt know what the test meant" and made her schedule an internal exam. so they had me schedule one for may 13th but it s been so long for me to wait i been so anxious and had plans for amusement parks next week but have no idea if thats possible because i cannot gt a secure answer. but thank you for all of your help, its helped me a great deal so far.

have you talked to your mom at all?
it would be a good idea to inform her about things.
she could help you get an answer sooner by taking you to a doctor or something.
plus if you have to wait till the 13th as well, thats alot more worrying on your part.

yeah youre probably right, its just how to tell her is the thing. i know theres no right time to. and waitin for the 13th is just as bad. i have a doctors appointment on may 6th with a primary doctor do you think he be able to tell anything?

Sillygirl024- - - try sitting down with your mom, and explaining to her that you know you should have waited and used protection, but you think you could be pregnant. Let her know that you have gone to planned parenthood, and done a number of pregnancy tests [3home pregnancy tests] and one from planned parenthood and they all came back negative. But your period still has not come.
Let her know that you know she is disappointed, but you would like to do a blood test to know what is going on and to plan out your next step.

if you talk calmly with her about it, she might not freak out as bad. She's still going to be mad or upset, but i think that she would feel good, that at least you were able to come to her with a problem like this.

but the weird thing is i still dont have sore breasts, and thats what makes me think i am but i am not. i usually have excrutiating pain in the the week before my period is due and the week of it, but that pain never came. and still hasnt. along with my period. not to mention this unsettling feeling inside me that i just am. and as of may 5th my period has still not arrived but not positive test. i would get a blood test tomorow at my appointment but i have no insurance and cannot afford it.

Some women do not eperience pregnancy symptoms at all, so if your waiting for symptoms to show up, they might not appear for you.

You could be pregnant. Your 7 days late now correct?
As much as your scared to tel your mom, as much as you dont want to get her involved with this, i really think it would be a good idea to tell her.
Your a week late. And either your pregnant, or there is something else wrong with you.

yes im 7 days late now. and im beginning to think i am more and more i have very little discomfort in my abdomen very much discharge (milky white) and im thinkin a test wont show it yet due to the fact i had the unprotected sex april 23rd and missed this period. which means it may be too early. i am telling my mom since i will be at the doctors tomorow when we arrive home i will explain it to her. i appreciate all of your input anything arrives i shall let everyone know!!! =)

your 7 days late. it would show up clear as day.
i was 5 days late when i tested and it read pregnant.
its not too early to test. even on pregnancy test boxes it says earliest you can test is 4 days before your expected period.
its good your telling her about this though.

If your hormones are stopping your period, they'll trigger a positive on a test.

but my only concern is that i would only be 9 days along. up until the unprotected sex i was expecting my period as usual but as soon as that happened my period didnt come which means it would be only 9 days ago. i am 7 days late but liek i said RITE before that period was due i had unprotected sex which means it would still be too early too tell. all other websites and friends say that i wouldnt be able to tell untilthe week before my next expected period which would be may 28th. anyone understand my dilema =)

hun, your late! your a week late.
A test would show up accurate.
You said "yet, on april 23rd had unprotected sex" which would mean, you'd be almost 2 weeks along, not 9days.
It takes 1 day for sperm and egg to meet,
7-10 for the fertlized egg to become implanted in the uterus
2weeks is when the embryo has a layered disc on the uterus wall.When the mother misses her period.

...sorry if i offended you it was not intended at all...
i was trying to show you that it would most likely come out positive, yes some are false negatives, but not all are.
anyways, a doctor will tell you for sure, just was trying to help...
