I'm a week late on my period. Don't know what's going on or what to do.. Your thoughts would be appreciated!

Question

I was supposed to start last monday and I haven't started yet. This cycle has been different than normal.. a couple of weeks ago I had some spotting that lasted about 3-4 days. I took a test I believe it was on Friday (because there could be a chance that I got pregnant, it would have been around July 4th assuming that i ovulated when I was supposed to and not late.) and it was negative.. For a few days now when I have gotten hungry it's like I'm starving the second I realize I want something to eat.. nothing sounds good and it doesn't take much to fill me up.. also last week for a few days I had very sensitive nipples (sorry if that's tmi) but they aren't anymore. I kinda feel sick after I do eat for a little bit and I've been extra tired.. the tiredness is probably just due to the fact that my sleeping has been odd last few days I slept until 2 in the afternoon today after having trouble getting to sleep and then laid down at 5 barely able to keep my eyes open and just got up again, also I had some mid-cycle spotting that lasted 3-4 days a couple of weeks ago which I have never had before. Since I took a test on Friday and it was neg. do you think that test was accurate and there is no need to test again. I'm not really stressed or anything and my cycle is usually right on. I haven't been late on my period in a very long time, like clock work it has come on the day it is supposed to. I know I will have to end up going to the doctor but, what are your thoughts?

Answer 1

I would take another test. You can have a negative result if you are early in your pregnancy. I know a young woman that actually had her period the entire time that she was pregnant and didn't even know she was pregnant until her 7th month. I would use a different test than the first one that you tried. No matter what you hope the outcome is,  I hope you get your wish. Best of luck.

Answer 2

It may would be too early to test, many times from what I've read, it is not uncommon to test negative before testing positive, your period could be thrown off if your pregnant, you may have a shorter cycle etc... I would give it another week or 2 and then test again, if still not sure, maybe given your past history and the fact that if you are pregnant it will be a high risk pregnancy you should go ahead and make an appt with your OBGYN, would rather be safe than sorry... good luck whatever the outcome!  

Answer 3

I advice you t wait 10 days more and do another pregnancy test. If the test is positive or negative you need to go to the doctor. Maybe you are very desperate to know if you are pregnant or no.Try to relax,Try to tink in another things.You could be pregnant and the excesive distress can affect  somebody inside.

Answer 4

Have you been exercising a lot? When I was going through a tough high school Carrer in swimming I lost my period for 6 MONTHS!! I wasn't pregnant either. (It was wierd cause I thought I was a virgin) I got all freaked too but then I asked my doctor.

Answer 5

I know how you feel I am 12 and I just got my period the last day of school.sometimes when I have it I feel like I wanna eat everything in the world but nothing sounds good at all.The cramping runs in my family so I get that alot.I was sooooooooooooooo confused at first but now I get the whole thing,but anyway its just because everyone is different!I wasn't even expecting my period that day it just happened. I was gonna say maybe your pregnant but I don't know what you've been doing.

Hope you feel better and I hope this helps.

Answer 6

you might be pregnant

Answer 7

Did you take plan b or anything along those lines? If so that can make youre period late..also if you are stressing about being pregnant that can make youre period late...as for symptoms of wanting to eat a lot of food those dont come until later in pregnancy...sore nipples could have been caused by ovulation because mine usually get sore and then disappear a few weeks before my period. I don't think you are pregnant especially since youre test is negative but if you think there is a chance of pregnancy then I would wait another week and test and then def go to the doctor. Best wishes!

Answer 8

Going to the dr would be a good idea  u could be but if u want to be u could make yurself think u r. If yur stressed that may be the reason u missed yur period.
