It is unlikely that ur pregnant and it not
show in a hpt. Personally I was 5 weeks
late just in march and I insisted on a
blood test, because I am pretty regular
and had 3 hpt's come back neg. The blood
test said I was not pregnant. What a hpt
tests for is a hormone that your body
releases when u r pregnant. The blood
tests for the same thing. If you really
think that's what it is, go get the test.
A level of 8 and under is normal for
every woman.... If you're pregnant the
first couple of weeks it shoots sky high
(somewhere around 20,000 I think, but not
sure).. But it is possible....Just not
likely. Stress and a lot of other things
can make your period late. Good luck!

It is more likely to get a false negative
than a false positive on hpts. So if you
think that you may be preggo then yeah I
recommend you go to the doctor and get a
blood test because they are more accurate
and a lot more sensative than the hpts.
Good luck hope this helps.
