late period !
Posted: 08-30-03 12:47pm

Okay, I am late on my period, and these home test keep saying negative, and I still haven't had my period...If I go to the planned parenthood office in my neighborhood, will they be able to tell before the at home test? Question

How late are you? Yhey may be able to tell earlier by a blood test.But it all depends on how far along you are. My home test never came back positive until I was about 5 weeks pregnant.
Good luck.

On occasion, the hcg levels are not high enough to be detected by a home pregnancy test, whereas they will show up on a blood test. When in doubt, have the blood test.

try a planned parenthood in your area. They should be able to help you out, and they won't tell your parents.
