could my girlfriend be pregnant?

my girlfriend is  a week and a half late for her period so its been about 44 days since her last. a couple days ago she had a little brownish spotting but no period. since the spotting she has had constant mild headaches. we took a test and the result was negative. i think we should probably wait and test again in like a week. what do you think

Wow, I would have to say you are one of the most intelligent men we have had on this forum in awhile!!! You actually took the time to google fmu and ttc!! That is impressive!!! My dh (husband)  just laughs at me when I talk to him using those phrases!!

Anyway, I agree with the other ladies. Her test should have turned positive now, if she is indeed really pregnant. Sometimes cycles get all messed for no good reason at all. If she does not get her next cycle I would have her contact her ob and explain her situation.
I really wish you guys the best and it sounds like you are stand up guy!!!!

blood tests to check hcg levels are the most sensitive for detecting pregnancy.

that would normally be long enough to turn a hpt positive. however, some women don't turn them positive for a long time. maybe a hcg blood test?

A test should have shown positive by now.  Make sure she uses FMU when testing was she or yourself using any type of contraception or were you actively ttc?  I think she may be pregnant but ask her to see a doctor if further HPT's come back negative.

Best of luck to you both!!
