Hi everyone! I just wanted to stop in and say that you for all your comments and putting my mind at ease. My period started (about 3 weeks late) but better late than never, I suppose! Again that you all. :-)
ok whatever.....mostly everyone gets a postive hpt within a least 2 weeks. get a blood test and that will tell you for sure.
just a piece of advise! i would seriously ignore everybody else! i am somebody who knows too well that it could take upto 8 weeks b4 u get a positive! as far as im concerned hpts r really cr*p these days! with my first pregnancy i was 8 weeks late b4 i got a positive and 6 weeks preg! this time round i was 6 weeks late before i got a positive and im now nearly10 weeks preg! had ascan and everythin is fine. fair enough it could be stress etc but dont give up on thinking u may not be preg! my dads gf told me that her mate was 9/10 weeks late b4 she got a positive result! id wait anothr week but another suggestion is ask the doc for a blood test! how late are you anyway? wb x
I used the EPT, I think it is the First Response. It said on the package can test 6 days before missed period. I haven't started any new exercise regimen. As far as stress goes, it doesn't seem I've been any stressed than usual..but then again I may not be realizing it. Thank you for all your help. I will keep you informed. Hopefully my period will show up soon.
I would agree with Kim......what type of hpt did you use? Some are better than others.
Have you started a new exercise regimen? That can also cause a delay. Stress can DEFINITELY do that to you. Keep us informed.
Hi Kim, thank you for the response. I will follow your advice and wait to take another HPT if my period doesn't show up...I suppose if it isn't here within a week I will make an app. with my doc to get a blood test done. I have read that stress can cause missed or delayed periods so that could be a possibility as well. Not knowing what's going on is the real kicker. :-) Thank you again and I will keep you posted once I find out anything certain.
hpts are fairly reliable. but sometimes your hcg levels arent high enough. it took me about a week and a half to get a positive hpt. you could either wait a few more days and test, or get a blood test which will tell you for sure.
you could be pregnant. it could be pms. you could be getting sick or something. it could be a number of things.
you said youve been busy and usually when people are very busy they are usually stressed. so possibly thats why your periods late as well
