1st Trimester

6 days late; BFN!!! Blood test??

I am 6 days late (which I am NEVER late) and still have a BFN this morning. Should I go in to get a blood test? My OB/Gyn said to wait 2 weeks and if I still had a negative test then to come in to see her. But I dont htink I can wait in suspense!!

 

What do you think? Has anyone had to be late longer before they got their BFP?

  • Despite how regular your cycle can be you really can't say never. For the last two years I was 27 days like clockwork but last year had a random cycle where my period was 15 days late. Of course I was convinced I was pregnant but after a few negative pee sticks and a negative blood test I realized sometimes cycles can just get wonky! The bottom line is at this point if you were pregnant there would be enough HCG in your body to get a positive. GL!

  • Regardless of how you're 'never' late, there are times when you are late, your body doesn't do the same thing every cycle.  I always had what I thought were very regular predictable cycles.  Then, when I started charting, I realized that the cycles were actually off a few days here and there.  The cycle I got my BFP this time, I ovulated 9 days "late" based on a 28 day cycle.  You never know. 

    I would continue to test here and there until you hit another week or so.  You're lucky, though, because a lot of doctors won't do anything for you until you have hit 60 days since your last period.

  • I agree that you should wait.  My cycle was also always exactly 28 days - it even started around the same time every cycle.  In March, by the morning of day 33 I still didn't have my period and was convinced that I was pregnant despite the 2 BFNs.  My period came that evening.
