2 weeks late and 5 negative hpt... What should I do?

amandamarsh

Hello,
My husband and I have been TTC for almost 2 years now on our own. My AF is normally very regular and I have been using home ovulation tests to pin point my peak fertility. Recently I have lost my medical coverage and I am waiting to be put on my husband's. By problem is... I am 2 weeks late on my period and I have taken 5 hpt that all turned out negative. I have been having nausea, stomach aches, fatigue, occasional strong sense of smell, food aversions and cravings, and frequent urination. I did go to the ER 2 weeks ago for severe nausea, migraine, and slight dehydration. They ended up sending me home with some anti-nausea meds and said I had just had a headache. They did do a urine pregnancy test and it came back negative, but that was 5 days before my missed period. I really want to know if I'm pregnant or not, but I am still waiting on my husband's job to cover me under his insurance so I can't really go into the doctor for a blood test. What do you think?

With 5 negative tests, the chances of you being pregnant are slim.

You're probably not pregnant. But if you find out you are, don't let us know.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. But I don't know what could be causing me to skip a period. I know I'm still young, but my husband and I wanted to have kids early or at least start trying. My mom took 6 years to get me and 7 years with fertility drugs to get my sister. So it's really discouraging to get a big negative each month, but I'm sure you already know that.

I'm going to try to be nice and simply give you the advice that you need to hear:

If after 60 days you haven't started your period then go to your doctor and have them see you.  You will need medication to have your cycle kickstarted (for lack of a better term).  If you are taking pregnacy tests and haven't gotten a postive one, then you aren't pregnant.  Trust me, we've all been there and the first time your cycle goes all wonky, you really want it to be a pregnancy.  And, there is a chance that you could ovulate really late, so it could be worth investing in some cheapies and testing once a week, just in case - but that's really more for your peace of mind than anything else.  Once you have been trying to get pregnant for over a year, its time to see a doctor to get to the bottom of what the problem is. 

Coming on to the TTTC board without a diagnosis and asking us for hope that you are pregnant is not going to go over very well with anyone on this board.  Everyone here is currently seeing a doctor to help them get pregnant.  I know that doesn't diminish what you are going through or make it less scary.  But, we are all way past "I don't know why I could miss a period."  We've all done the research and are trying to work with our bodies as best as we can.  I suggest you read the newbie page and look up some info about missed periods online and educate yourself about your body.  There are many reasons you can miss a period, being pregnant is only one.

  Ditto everything Ktryn said!  Good luck with everything and I would talk to your Ob/Gyn about getting a referral to a Reproductive Endorinologist ASAP. Best wishes!

Same thing happened to me minus the insurance stuff. I was almost two weeks late and taking HPTs every couple of days after missing AF. All turned out negative. I think it was stress related as we were moving to Oregon from California but we were hoping that I was pregnant.  I started AF on my first day in OR (of course while we were visiting my best friend and her new baby). I have never been that late before so I had high hopes for a BFP.

Until you know for sure, fingers crossed that you do get a BFP.

You most likely just ovulated later than normal. Even people with highly regular cycles can have a cycle where they ovulate late, thus making their period late. After 5 negative tests, you're most likely not pregnant. If you go 60 days without your period, then schedule an appt. with your Dr.

Yes, this. Or you could be having an anovulatory cycle - that can happen from time to time even in women that usually do ovulate normally.
