Q: Im 5 Days Late!!!! :)

Well, last month my period started on the 15th and im usually pretty regular on my starting days. I almost always start on the 13-15th usually of every month. Well guess what, this month I haven't started yet!!

But but but, I took a pregnancy test yesterday after lunch time that I bought from the dollar store and it was negative :( anyway it could be wrong? I did some research and read that you bruise easier when pregnant because your body produces more blood when you are prego, and the last few weeks, I have been bruising at the touch of a raindrop. Some people have honestly asked what I have been doing to myself. And I have done nothing different, no medication, no change in diet, no nothing!

So what do you think? Could I be prego even though the dollar store prego test came back negative??

I would tell you to buy another test and take it with the first pee of the day, so as soon as you wake up. Also, I would pee in a cup and then dip the stick in it, so you get better results. Good luck and butt loads of baby dust!

Hi there, I would advise taking another pregnancy test as I was reading in the newspaper here about a week ago where they are recalling all of the pregnancy tests from the dollar stores because they are no good. Apparently alot of ppl are getting false results, who really are pregnant, and vice versa. Good luck!

Wait at least 3 days before taking a test (5 or more would be best).

I would wait 5 days and if you haven't had your period, than take another test. Than if you are pregnant, your hormone levels can increase enough that you would get a positive. I would try buying a test from a pharmacy, even their "no name" brand, I've heard of a few people getting wrong results with dollar store ones. Good luck Smile
