My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a year now. I got pregnant in May and miscarried in July. We have since been trying again. My period was due Monday and I still haven't gotten it. I have taken a million pregnancy tests and they are all negative. My period is never late. Any ideas on what's up? I finally decided to call my doctor today but of course they close early on Fridays, so I will have to wait until Monday for that. My periods have never been the same since the miscarriage, is this possibly just another side effect, that I am now not as predictable as I used to be? Anyone been through this before?
Turns out I am not pregnant just late. :(
Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and wisdom. As my husband says, this means we get to try some more :). Its so funny you spend part of your life trying so hard no to get pregnant, and then when you want to you find it can be a lot harder than you thought.
Thanks again everyone!
I never had a miscarriage, but with my fisrt son and now trying to get pregnant again, for some reason I miss most of my periods. I always feel PMS or I feel like I am pragnant and every test comes out negative. Then sometimes, I end up getting a period. I know this isn't much help, but I understand how weird it is and irratating it can be!
Your cycle will change every so often. You might need to go on the pill for a little while to get your cycle straightened out and more regular. I know that defeats the purpose of trying to have a baby, but your body needs to heal after a miscarriage. Just make sure that you do tell your doctor and get his/her advice before trying anything.
From my personal experience of trying to get pregnant the first time, I would think I was "late", take a test, have a negative result, and then whammo! I started (either later that day, or the next day, at the latest)!. When I finally WAS pregnant, I had family members I had literally *just met* (at my then-husband's family reunion) asking me "what color baby blanket do you want" or asking my MIL how far along I was! 3 weeks later, on my dear grandmother's birthday, I finally relented and took the test....it was so positive, it was PURPLE instead of "pink"!!!
You said you are "never late" but that your periods have not been the same since your miscarriage...I'm betting you ARE pregnant this time, and that it's just so early, that you haven't built up enough hormones for the test to be positive, yet. Nonetheless, since you have already miscarried, I would go ahead and call your OB 1st thing Monday morning, and make the appt, with the option to cancel if you do start before you get in. (I'll pray that doesn't happen.)
PLEASE KEEP US POSTED!!!

good luck with your trying.
When I was pregnant with my twin boys three years ago, I was over a week late but the tests were saying negative. You would think with two babies, my hormone levels would have been off the chart from the beginning but not so I guess. It took until the third pregnancy test to finally test positive. It's so hard to be patient but try to wait out the weekend and take another first thing Monday morning. Regardless of the result, if there is no sign of your period, then go see your DR. Good luck, I hope you are pregnant. Will you repost if you find out for sure? :-)
I don't want to give false hope because I know how hard it will be to find out your not pregnant again. Keep in mind that it just might be the symptoms of the stress you are under trying to conceive. I don't want to get your hopes down but that is such a far crash! I went through that for 3 months. I was under a lot of emotional stress from another situation in my life and at the same time trying to conceive our 2nd child. The first one came very easy (unplanned blessing actually ;) ). So I thought it would be just as easy with the 2nd. I didn't have period the first month. Took a test...waited...took a test. I thought it was the stress so I waited for the 2nd month and did the same over and over till the 3rd month I figured I really needed to go to the doctor. Went in for the appointment and started right there (Lots of fun for the examination). Anyways, doctor told me that from the sounds of things she didn't think it would be easy for me and suggested I try a few more months and come back and they would put me on clomed (sp?). So at that point I gave up. Wouldn't you know next month I was pregnant.
I guess I'm trying to say just don't take it too hard if you figure out it's just your body being funny and that you're not pregnant. I do pray that you are though!
Please keep us posted!
I have 2 kids and none of my home pregnancy tests came back positive. I have also had at least 10 early misscarriages that I know of maybe more (most women have at least one and dont know it.) It can be a side effect to your misscarriage but there is a good chance that you could be pregnant and your hormone levels just arent high enough to read yet. Let us know what happens! Good luck! :)
With both my pregnancies, I tested negative, I just did it too soon. Like you I wanted to find out yesterday, the test were not fast enough for me. My breast got sore and I just knew I was pregnant. One day can seem like 10 years when you are waiting to find out, but just stay patient, by this time next week you should know for sure, either have a period or the test will show possitive. Good luck, and if pregnant, congratulations :>)
