Going on 9 days late

[Ashmarie]

Hello! I am new here but was hoping for some opinions.
I am going on 9 days late for AF. I have taken a few hpt already, all negative. I am always within about two days of when the app I use to track my periods predicts it will come. My boyfriend and I did slip up this month the day after my predicted ovulation date and decided to take a chance and didn't use any form of birthcontrol the rest of the month. (I have also been off of birthcontrol pills since July, we usually use withdrawl method). We aren't ttc but it's ok if it happens, should I be excited? Is there still a chance with negative tests? I am trying to get into the doc this week. Also, I have been feeling a bit queasy off and on with slight headaches.

Thank you!

Hi, welcome to PF!

There's always a chance, although at 9 days late a test should pick up by now. I'd get a first response test and try using that to test, if still nothing I would go to the doctors like you said

Good luck xx

Well, end of day 11 and still no sign of AF. I contacted my Dr and they had me come in this morning and do a urine pregnancy test, still negative. They said come back in a week and repeat it again. Ugh! It's just so frustrating. This was the first month that we didn't use the pull out method and were consistently intimate (4 days before predicted ovulation AND the morning after, plus every few days for the rest of the month). It's also the first month in late more that 2-3 days. I just have to be preggo! There's no other explanation!

You could ask the dr for a blood test, I think they're more accurate. Although if it was positive at 11 days late you should be showing levels of hcg by now. Stress/illness can also affect your cycle. x

Well got my quantitative back. <2 miu/ml hcg. First month we didn't prevent and I'm 13 days late now... I'm never late. I can track it to the day I'm going to start. I just don't get it.

I'm in the same boat, I'm 9 days late and done 3 test all negative. Been of contraception since May and this is my first period that is late......it's so frustrating. Hope u find out soon

 

[Ashmarie]

Thanks... Today is officially 2 weeks late. Have u had blood work done yet? It's so stressful, I'm convinced there has to be something wrong with me now. I had the blood work done through a clinic my mom works for instead of my regular dr so they don't know about that. I am thinking of going to urgent care because I've started to get little pinching pains right above my pubic bone area but I don't want to be looked at like I'm crazy.

It is so frustrating!! Some days it drives me crazy....

No blood test yet, i may consider it soon. I still get cramping also my lower back and bloating. I'm trying not to let it stress me out!! It's a waiting game

 

[Ashmarie]

Well best of luck to you! I'll be sure to update

 

[Thailand1]

Any news ashmarie?

I'm going to do a test Thursday then if negative may have to go to Drs

 

[Ashmarie]

Nope, I am on day 16, still no AF and only negatives &#55357;&#56851;
Good luck on Thursday! Fingers crossed!

Stress/illness can also make AF late x

I'm on another thread & had this advise


Sounds like you might have had an anovulatory cycle. That's where you miss an ovulation and have a cycle that's longer than normal. It's nothing to be concerned about as apparently we all have them from time to time.
Either that or you're one of those women who don't get positive results on HPTs. I've read that some women don't get them months into their pregnancies. I think you're just going to have to sit and wait for a few more days and see if AF arrives. I don't think the Dr will do a blood test until you've completely missed a period, I.e one month late. I guess it probably depends on your Dr though.
Try not to let it stress you out though xx

 

[Ashmarie]

Interesting. Well if that's the case, we are still trying. Hopefully I will ovulate this month then! We are still trying!
Only time will tell! Still nothing for me! I go in tomorrow morning to repeat a urine test and then they will finally let me schedule an appointment!

 

[Thailand1]

I'm 13 days late and again a

I think I can say I'm not pregnant - il have to wait till arrives

Yeah, I'm 18 days late now. Same here. Disappointing but hopefully soon.
