Q: 12 Days Late!! Help!

Ok so my last AF was July 3rd. It came on time and everything. I had unprotected sex on the 12th of July... Now here I am on the 13th of August and still no AF. I took a PG test this morning and it came back negative. Is it possible to get a neg and still be preg if you're this late? Im thinking about waiting a couple days and taking another one. O and around when my AF should have came i got VERY VERY light pink spoting for not even a day. Then it went away. I dont really have much pg symptoms but I am bloated a little and have to pee every 5 minutes, I have been getting these constand headaches for like the past 8 days (and i never get headaches), i'm really tired and feel like im dragging alot and get slight cramping here and there. but my breasts dont hurt or feel heavy or anything. What are the odd's that im pg? even after a neg test?...

Urine tests normally become most accurate about 3-4 weeks after the last sexual encounter; this is how long it takes for HCG to build up in your system. If you want to know sooner, I suggest going to a clinic and getting a blood test done.

Blood Test
yes. blood tests are more accurate. they detect a hormone in your blood called HCG.

You can request an HCG blood test so you won't be worried.

Not sure in US but I can have bloodwork requested for free from a physician or in a clinic since I'm located in Canada and we have the government health card.

Yeah today is day 14 and I still haven't started... its killing me to wait a couple more days to take another test, but i have NEVER been this late before and if Im not pg then i dont know what else could be going on Sad . Did you have the Blood Test done??? I am thinking if I dont start by the end of this month and still have Neg Im going to go have one done. People are telling me to go now but I am hoping to either just start any day or a Possitive show up.. just so i know. But I am so in the same boat you're in... but i sont have sore bb's I am just VERY tired, irritable, and CONSTANT headaches. Im not sure if that's a syptom or not but its there lol. Well i hope things turn up for you! Keep me posted for you as well.

Well, I thought I'd add my input since our last period started around the same time.

My last start date was the 7th of July, and I'm usually on a 26-28 day cycle, so by This past Sunday, I was growing quite nervous.....And for apparently good reason. I took TWO tests tonight and they both registered "PREGNANT" in less than 1 minute.

I say, most women know their own body. If something doesn't seem right, you should definitely go to your Dr.

Well... I went to the Dr. on 8/10/07. See gave me a urine test and it came back negitive. She told me that in some cases, just a few, some women for whatever reason don't exscret(sp) enough of the hormone in their urine till 6-8 weeks pg. WOW!! I thought it would pick it up all the time. I guess i was wrong. Anyways I too believe that we know are bodies better then any test. I don't know if i feel pg... i just know i dont feel right. For the past to days i have also been very forgetfull. Like loopy at times. BB's are incredibly sore but feel like i am being pinched at times. Dr. said if no AF shows by the 2nd wk of sept. she will do a blood test. But in the mean time i got pre nates and to take a test every week until then. Best of luck to you!!

with my second pregnancy I did not show postive until 8-9 weeks pregnant and my mother told me she did not make enough horrmone until just over 3 moths pregnant but she knew her body and argued with the doctors in 1974 that she was pregnant and she had to force them to do another test and she figured she was three months and sure enogh this time it was postive she said her docotr was truely amazed. Then she had me 6 moths later plus a few days I was a late baby. Not that it matter to my mom she barely felt a labour pain for either me or my sister. She had me in about 1/2 an hour of getting to the hospital and only pushed once and I popped out. lucky woman me on the other hand long labour and 1 short delivery 4 hours and the other twin would not come so ER section and my young planned c-section. I hope my children getit easier than I did.
good luck let us know what happens
