I was wondering if alcohol consumption or lack of sleep could cause negative results. I'm not actually trying so I'm not sure why my period would be so late. My last period was 4 and a half days long 8/2 - 8/6. My cycles are usually around 28 days long so at this point I'm about a week late. I've taken pregnancy tests for the past 3 mornings all with negative results. I have friends in town this week so we've been up pretty late drinking. I'm never usually late but the negative test are causing me doubts. I know the pregnancy hormone is highest in the morning but I was thinking maybe its diluted because of the alcohol or since I've only had a few hours of sleep maybe it doesn't have time to build up enough to show through on the test. I've used two clearblue digital test and one generic from the dollar store. This is really stressing me out since this is really not normal for me. Has anyone had this happen but your period show up late?
Re: late but negative test
This
I have no idea! I'm pretty sure I just ovulated very late and that's what caused it. I started temping and using OPKs this month so I would know for sure when to expect my period. Try being patient, I know it sucks!!
She understands the question. We all do. It's just a dumb one.

Aww, isn't that cute?! :::pats OP on the head::: Of course you aren't dumb, dear. Your question just flew right over our heads. Silly us.
Yes. OP, I AM late and I KNOW I'm late. I took a test and I KNOW I am not pregnant. Believe it!
Someone already responded to this part of your question. She said that it could potentially concentrate your urine and not dilute it.
And may I point out one thing? You think you're pregnant and yet you continue to drink heavily? Am I the only one that thinks that's fvcked up?
ETA - That chart DOES apply to you because you think you're "late" which you wouldn't know unless you were charting. Andplusalso you took a test and it was negative, there is your answer.

The simple answer is NO, lack of sleep will not cause a negative pregnancy test and neither would alcohol consumption. But both could affect your temp if you were actually trying and charting, thus maybe causing confusion, especially if it was around O time. That said: CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT!!!!
If you're NOT TRYING, why on earth would you go to a TRYING TO GET PREGNANT board?!?! I'm pretty sure YOU are the dumb one.
AND don't even get me started about the fact that you're drinking heavily when you THINK there's a possibility you are pregnant. WTH.
I wasn't judging you for drinking, I was judging you for drinking while you're so convinced that you're pregnant. And don't get me started on the bolded part

Oh, well, then if you're YOUNG, then it's okay to drink while you're pregnant (not that I'm saying you are, you just seem to be convinced that you are KTFU). I'm young too, but I didn't drink at all during my pregnancy.

I hope you are sterilized. I may go to hell for wishing it, but you with an attitude like that, I hope you never bring a child into this world, seeing as how you won't change your life for it, even if you could be hurting it BADLY through your decisions while pregnant.
Just. Go. Away. Your question has been answered.
Let's try this to answer your question and stop you from posting on this board. A pregnancy test measures the amount of HCG in your system. If HCG is present, the test turns positive. Alcohol would in no way decrease the amount of HCG in your system if you were pregnant. So, a negative test = not pregnant, whether you got wasted over the weekend or not. YWIA!

That is so out of line it's ridiculous. The OP may be stupid but her HPT's are NEGATIVE. She can drink however much she wants. She could also drink if it was positive. Her body, her choice.
I'm personally in the drink til it's pink camp. On top of that, I had a glass of wine every 2 weeks or so WHILE I was pregnant. Should I be sterilized too?
Yes you will and how in the hell did you get the 2nd bolded part out of her response?? I drink till it's pink.
YAY!!!! bye
You should go with her, twat.
While I agree with this, what I was getting at was that she's so convinced that her pregnancy tests are wrong that she came here to ask us if she was KTFU and she wasn't about to stop drinking. And she also said she was young and wasn't going to let this stop her from having fun (and I took it as even if she's PG, she's still going to drink heavily). Maybe I misread what she meant, but if she's planning on drinking a lot while pregnant, I do think that's effed up, and I don't care who knows it.

Yes. You definitely crossed a line with that one, ATX. Snark attempt = FAIL.

From what OP said, she isn't just having a glass or two. I already said that I don't think she's pg now. BUT her response after that about being young and doing what she wants means that if she does get KU, she's going to continue to live her life bc she's young.
Drinking enough where you would be concerned it would dilute your morning urine is not a glass or two of wine. I know that red wine is safe to drink, even healthy, on occasion during pregnancy.
I am not sorry for what I posted because personally I find it disgusting that someone would do things they know could harm their baby while they think they're pregnant. She had thoughts that she was pregnant or she wouldn't have asked. I am sorry if my post offended anyone, but I'm not sorry for what it said.
I didn't take it that way at all. I also don't think she is convinced that she is PG. Regardless, telling someone they should be sterilized is not OK (I know it was not you that said it, thus why my above reply was not directed to you). Regardless of what they choose to do with their own body. JMO.
She IS NOT pregnant. And you are assuming that she would continue to drink even if she was. She never said that. You know what they say about people who assume...
Saying someone should be sterilized is not OK, regardless of their life choices. Only shiitty people say things like that. So, congratulations I guess. Glad you are proud of yourself.

I already said I know she isn't pregnant. But if you read he posts, she said that she's young and won't let an "inconvenience" stop her from living her life. Take that how you will. Maybe I did assume, but I don't know what other assumption you could draw from that.
The inconvenience of her late period. She never one said she thinks she is pregnant. She asked if alcohol can cause a false negative. She also asked if anyone has been late but not pregnant. Maybe you are right and she would continue to drink even if she was pregnant. But you know what? It's really none of your business if she did.
I've got to agree with OP here. There was a big charity fundraiser DH was participating in when I was 6dpo the cycle I got pregnant. I may or may not have drank heavily. I think it's kind of ridiculous to flame her for that.
