Late yet "not pregnant"?

Question

My last period was on July 16. I haven't been on birth control in over a year because I felt the depo shot really messed up my body. Because of the Depo Shot, my periods are irregular. I would go through different months in which it's more than 31 days (since getting my period back, my "normal" amount is 31 days). There's months where I get it on my 33rd day, and very rare on my 35th.

Today is my 36th day and no sign of it. I did have a dizzy spell, threw up once after breakfast, and a couple of cramps (mostly the feeling that I'm getting my period). However, I tested 3 times (on my 28th, 31st, and 33rd day) and all came out negative. I feel fine yet I am wondering if I am testing negative, why my period is not coming yet? My fiance (we're getting married in Nov.) and I do want to have a baby but I would like to have a piece of mind whether I am or not.

Answer 1

There could be a couple of reasons why you are late. There's the obvious: you could be pregnant, but maybe it's too early to tell.  You could also be stressing out a little too much right now seeing as how you are getting married soon (congrats by the way). Women tend to cycle with the other women that they are around, so a change in your environment will also change your cycle. Also, it's just unfortunately completely normal to have an off cycle every once in awhile.

When I was trying to conceive....after 3 years of  failed cycles and lots of pregnancy tests.....my husband asked me why it was so important for me to know right away and not wait for a whole week to pass by.  I told him that he didn't know how nerve wracking not knowing was. He said but the baby if it was conceived would be born at the same time whether or not I knew a week earlier I was pregnant or not. His point was that pregnancy tests can get expensive after awhile and that most of the time just waiting to test and not stressing out is the best thing to do.

Hi Hun,

The symptoms sound just like mine.

If you are unsure see your doctor and they will do a test there for you which is more accurate than an over the counter test!

Sometimes it can be too early to detect on a normal pregnancy test.

Good Luck!!!
