Hi
I am 11 days late on my period and I took 4 home pregnancy tests which turn out negative, so i decided to get a blood test and it turned out negative and I am worried because my period is never late and I am taking psychiatric medicines and i don't want to harm the baby if i am pregnant, but I don't know if i am, somebody told me i could have a exam done and i don't know how many weeks you have to be to have that done, so i am really confused and i have never been pregnant before so i don't really know much about how everything works. I hope someone understands or has gone through this before, but i could really use some advice. thanks.
I think at this point you are so stressed out about it that could be why you are late. THis has happened to me before. I would go to the doc for an exam anyhow-this way you could discuss possible causes of why you are late and maybe even birth control options.
Relax though-you are not pregnant right now.
I didn't know an exam could tell you if you are pregnant especially at this stage if you are pregnant. I would go to your DR, you may not be pregnant, I have missed 1 or 2, I know extreme stress can cause you to be late. Are you sure about the dates? I'm not saying you are wrong just asking. My advice as a mom of 3 kids is to go to your DR and see what they say, if you don't agree seek a second opinion a GYN.
Good luck!!
Hi J.,
With 4 pregnancy tests and a blood test showing negative, I'm sure you are NOT pregnant. As far as your period being late and taking your psychiatric meds, I would call your doctor that has prescribed you those meds and talk w/them, your period being "late" may be a side affect.
Hi J.. First of all you need to relax! Stress levels (especially panic) as well as some medications can make you late. If you had a blood test taken at a Dr. office and it was negitive then you are not pregnant at this point. As someone once told me, a positive test is not always right, but a negitive is always negitive. Blood tests are the most accurate of tests and can detect pregnancy very early. Next, take steps to ensure that you do not have to go through this "scare" again. It's 2009 and there are tons of products and counseling available to make sure that you have the product that works best for you and your partner to ensure that you do not have an un-wanted pregnancy. Good luck.
I would recommend that you call your doctor to find out why you might be missing your period, because its almost guaranteed that you are not pregnant. Even if the home pregnancy test couldn't detect anything (which at 11 days past due, they should be able to), if you were pregnant the blood test would definitely have picked up on it. They are VERY accurate about your hormone levels and can detect pregnancy within days of conception. The one thing I would be concerned with now is talking to your doctor to see if some of the medications you are taking might be messing with your cycle. If that's the case, you might want to look into using an extra form of birth control to prevent pregnancy, like taking the pill or the shot and using condoms. If you are trying to get pregnant, then now's the time to talk to your doc about trying other psychatric medications that might be less harmful to a baby or what your options are to take care of yourself if you become pregnant.
A blood test should tell for sure if you're a couple weeks late. There are many reasons why a period can be late, and one of the most common besides pregnancy is... just because. There are many meds that are safe with pregnancy. Not all are bad. Call your doc who prescribed the medicine and ask if it's safe during pregnancy because you suspect you could be pregnant, but also let them know that you took tests and showed you were not. You are more than likely not pregnant. But if you are still fearful, talk to all docs involved to get to the bottom of things.

Generally, if the blood test comes out negative than you are not pregnant. It could just be a change in your cycle but I would recommend seeing your doctor to find out what is going on. Good luck!
Go to the doctor and have an exam. That way you will know for sure if you are pregnant or not. If you feel extra tired,naseau,breasts hurt. these are all signs of being pregnant. sometimes,stress can cause your period to be late. i would go to the doctor to ease your mind. good luck
Hi,
Your cycle may be changing and you may have already gotten your period by the time you get this.If not go to your gyn and get a check up .If you are not pregnent you can at least find out why you haven't gotten your period.
Good luck!

I would call my OB/GYN. My period was 3wks late on 2 occasions, with negative pregnancy results. The first was due to a cyst and the second was due to pregnancy that implanted verrrrrrry late!
hi i know it takes a bout 2 to 3 weeks for your period to be late for the results to come out on a pregnancy test. With my first i just waited untill the next month cause if u are stressed for any reason that can mess up your cycle but call your gyno and ask them what other route you can go since u taked meds. Hopefully this can help u somewhat. Good luck
