I had my last menstrual cycle on January
20th. I was having symptoms that could be
pregnancy related and began to get a
little worried when February went by and I
had no period. I continued to have
symptoms like headaches, nausea, back
pain, etc. March went by as well, so I
decided to buy a home pregnancy test. The
one the I bought had two tests in it. I
took one on Sunday and it was negative. I
waited until the next Saturday to take the
next one just in case. Negative again. I
am becoming very concerned since April is
flying by and still nothing.I also
continue to have headaches, nausea, and
stomach pain. I was wondering if anyone
knew of any reason why the tests wouldn't
pick up the pregnancy hormones, or if
there could be another reason for my
missed periods. Thanks!

you could miss your periods because you
are stressing out about it. The best thing
to do would be to go the doctors. they can
do a blood test and if you are not
pregnant, can try to figure out if
something else is causing you to miss your
period. If both tests cam eback negative,
you are most likely not pregnant

A missed period can happen because of many
reasons...excessive working out, weight,
stress, as well as many other factors.
Colie is right. A doctor will help out a
lot; they will do a blood test which is
EXTREMELY accurate and find out if you are
pregnant or not. Although rare, some
women's hormones aren't picked up on a
pregnancy test when they are pregnant. If
you aren't pregnant, the doctors can run
some tests to figure out why your period
has not come yet.

You should go to your doctors because if
you aren't pregnant, then there might be
something else keeping you from periods or
just stress.
