I'm a week late

I'm now a week late on my period.
I took my first pregnancy test last week and it was a BFN. I haven't taken another home pregnancy again just yet as I fear it will say the same again.
When is it best to go and see the doctor for their opinion?

That is possible hun. Try a different test if you still get a faint line you probably are pregnant :-)

Heres something that i noticed with the test i took before. The test that I took was a digital one. Now when I took the stick out of the reader there was a solid line and next to it was a faint line but the digital reader read Not Pregnant. Could this mean that I could very well be pregnant but the hormone just isn't strong enough for the digital pregnancy kit to read?

Thats wrong of your doctor to say that without definitive proof. Ask for a blood test. Sometimes the pregnancy hormone doesnt show in urine for a while. Also try and not stress about it. Harder than it sounds I know but stress can delay a period too. Do things that will take your mind of it and when you find yourself sitting down and stressing over symptoms distract yourself. I find this works for me :-)

It came back negative again!! I went to the doctors and she said yeah you are pregnant without even doing a test (seems like doctors are now psycic.)
I'm now almost two weeks late and I took another test today and still say negative!!
I'm at a loose end here I really don't know what's going on!
What shall I do? Has anyone else been in this situation as its sending me mad :(

Seeing as you are a week late a  home pregnancy test should give you an accurate answer. If its still negative then make an appointment with your gp. Good luck
