9 days late, 3 negative HPTs, could I still be pregnant??

My period is currently 9 days late. Ever since I had my daughter (feb. '06) my period was right on schedule every 43 days.  Well this month it has not shown up yet! For the last 2 weeks Ive had cramps, and than just for the last four or five days Ive had backaches, headaches, Ive been VERY queasy, and extremely exhausted! And I dont know if Ive imagined things but my sense of smell has been QUITE hightened these last few days! Ive taken three HPT's and all were NEGATIVE. I tested when I was 2 days late, 5 days late and than yeserday, 8 days late. Im wondering if its still possible that I could be pregnant and just getting a negative response on the HPT's.  I havent really heard of anyone going 9 days late and still not getting a positive result.  AND if Im not pregnant what else could be wrong??  My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months now and this would be wonderful news!  I know we had sex quite a few times around the dates that I ovulated.  Any information would be great! Thanks!

Just wanted to let some of you ladies know that I didn't test positive on a HPT until I was 3 weeks late! I've also read that some women didn't have a positive reading throughout their entire pregnancies. Strange, I know. I think that there might be some type of correlation between negative HPTs and Implantation Bleeding. I've researched it a lot and most of the women who experienced IB got several negative results on HPTs and were still pregnant. My implantation bleeding consisted of barely-there brownish discharge which only appeared three mornings. I hope this helps calm some of your frustrations...I know how hard it is not knowing. I wish you all the best of luck and I'll keep you in my prayers.

I am so glad I came across this forum.  It is funny that you are not alone in a situation.  I am 9 days late 3 preg test no positive results.  I finally went to the doctor and got a blood test so hopefully I will find out what's going on.  I am never late maybe by 6 hours but never by days.  I have had headaches for the last 2 weeks.  Also I am BLOATED like I am about to start but no period.  I go to the bathroom all the time.  The only thing that is out of the norm is that my face didn't break out this month.  Usually my face breaks out every time before I come on and it didn't this month. So I am anxious to know what is going on

Hi Ladies,

I'm 27 and haven't had sexual intercourse in over a year... until MAY 11th. I had protected sex (condom) using astroglide on May 10th, June 4th, & June 9th. My AF was due Wednesday, June 13th but instead on my usual heavy clots of blood, Monday the 11th I started spotting brown spots that barely filled a Panty Liner, Tuesday only bright RED thin blood when I wiped but not on pad, and now WED & THUR just brown (Paste-like) spotting again with pink around it.  I took an HPT yesterday and it came back neg. I've been extra crampy with a butterfly feel in my stomach. I still feel like my menstrual is coming down. I've weepy lately and have no appetite. I've been mean and extremely fatigued.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? Any advice will help!

Hello, Just to let you know that I find your website extremely useful.  I am a young lady with one child and wanting nothing more than to have another.  My last menstrual cycle was on the 14th or the 15th of May.  I had intercourse on the 28th, 30th and 31st of May, which at that time I was ovulating without a doubt.  The problem is that lately I am feeling extremely tired and worn out.  I am expecting my period within the next three to four days, but the way I am feeling I am beginning to wonder if it is possibly that I am pregnant.  I am having stomach cramps kind of like what I would have before my period come.  The weired thing is that I was examining my breast and after squeezing it very lightly, I notice clear fluids coming out of my right breast.  Could this be that I am pregnant or what.  I normally don't have anything coming from my breast because I tend to check it quite frequently but this time around I was shock.

ICan you also explain if I am pregnant why the cramps and how long will then go on for.  I sometime run to the bathroom base on how bad the cramps are and me thinking that any second now my cycle is going to start.  I also notice that I am in the bathroom more now than ever.  It could possibly all be in my mind because  of all the different symptoms  I am reading about.

Please help.
