Missing or late period

User Profile
Ok so I'm 5 days late we have been trying to have a baby no luck so far. Well I have been having cramps, very sore breasts, pressure around where my uterus would be. I know i would only be around 2 weeks and 5 days along. I took a home pregnancy test (2 to be exact) both saying negative. Should I go to the doctor or wait another week and take yet another home pregnancy test? How far along do you have to be for it to show on a urine test anyways?

If your period is late because of a possible pregnancy the pregnancy test will be positive. Since the test is negative you are probably not pregnant. A missing period (or only a late period) could be due to other reasons beside pregnancy. For example, if that ovarian cyst is hormonally active it can cause a period delay for 2-3 months or irregular bleeding.


If you are trying to conceive for more than one year, without success, you should ask for medical help from a gynecologist.
