My period is 4 days late? Please Help!?

Question

I took the ept digital test on monday and another one today and both are gave me a negative result. My period is never late, so I am a bit concern. Can you get a negative result even if you are pregnant?

When do you think I should do another test?

Answer 1

Not to scare you, but when I was pregnant my test said negative also until I was atleast three weeks past  due for my last period. So I would go to the docter they can tell you for sure.

Good Luck!

i wish there were a fool proof answer to this!! i'm on day 10 late, and i'm never late like this....i usually have a cycle of 30-35 days. i've been on here since sunday reading and asking questions. here's what your situation looks like.

1. you're just off on your cycle (even if it doesn't normally happen) which could be the result of stress, trauma, medication, weight loss, or could just be a fluke and could be nothing at all.

2. you're pregnant and just don't have enough hCG to show up on the test. some people have responded to me and said by day 10 i should have enough hCG and others have posted saying they (themselves) did not test positive for 2 or 3 weeks after being late.

we're both playing the waiting game. i'm anxious and have been taking a test every morning....nothing! you can take a test as much as you want (buying the cheap ones is what i would recommend, esp. if you're getting negative results) this wasn't planned for me at all, so i was just waiting for my period, but now i've thought about it and the timing would be fine to have a baby now, and i'm partially hoping it's true.

3. people will tell you to get a blood test. you can do that. i will do that friday (day 12) if i haven't gotten a result or a period. i'm waiting bc it's $20 and i don't want to just waste it if i could wait 48 hours and have my period show up.

if you're period doesn't show up and you do get a bood test (which is also negative). make a doc appointment. there could be a cyst or something on your ovaries that could cause a late cycle, and you could catch it early enough to take care of it (this is my newest concern).

good luck! i hope you get the result you desire! :o)

Yes, you can get a negative result even if you are pregnant.  Pregnancy tests detect HCG in your urine, if your levels are too low to be detected then it could be a false negative.  The only way to know for sure is to go to the doc and get a blood test.  I would make an appointment right away not only for your peace of mind but also so that you can start taking prenatal vitamins if you are pregnant.  In the mean time until you are sure I would be certain not to drink or smoke.  Good luck.
