I'm 17 days late on my period and have a negative preggers test

Question

ok i just tested for pregnancy and the test said negative..but still haven't had my period and I'm 17 days late....there is no sign of a period...but i have had ALL of the early pregnancy signs...some of the women in my family have had trouble in the past producing the hCG hormone when they get pregnant...so they cannot produce a ppositive test until actively in labor...so i'm wondering if that is the problem with me...or could it be something more serious????(also im not stressed and i have not recently started exercizing)

Answer 1

Based on your question that you are having pregnancy symptoms, but still getting a negative pregnancy test this might be because of two reasons:

1. First the miscalculation of your period time. Since the average menstrual cycle is 28 days and if you are not getting it in regular interval then this might be the cause of negative test results.

2. Second condition is when the implantation occurs. Until after implantation the chances of getting positive pregnancy is quite low.

However, 17 days is generally quite late to know whether you are pregnant or not. I think you should quickly take a home pregnancy test by the help of kits available at http://www.ilexmedical.com/products.php?act=cat with the first morning sample of urine. It will give you an accurate result, but if you have still any doubt then it’s important to consult with doctor instead of believing anyone’s opinion.
