Q: Period Late And - Test
asked by: sunshine35 on December 10th, 2007

I have been trying to get pregnant for the last couple of months and I have been off of birth control for 3 years. I am now 3 days late and have took 3 pregnancy test and they say - results. I would like to know how long should I wait before taking another test? How long should I wait before going to the doctor if I get another negative test?

Wait a few more days - of you haven't had your period, take another test. If you still don't start after 2 weeks, you should go see your doctor.

Similar Situation...
I am in a similar situation. however I am NOT trying to get preggers. as of today I'm about 3 weeks late, and have taken 2 home pregnancy tests, both of which were negative in result. what I'm wondering is if I am indeed NOT pregnant what could it be that has thrown my cycle off this much? someone told me that it could be stress, or other things. but what exactly are these 'other' things?

I will wait a couple more days and then I will call and see what the doctor wants me to do.

I am not under any kind of stress but I am wondering if I am not pregnant then why hasn't my period started. I am regular all the time - every 26 days I don't know if the pregnancy test is not sensitive enough to detect pregnancy or what the problem is.


Some of the things that can cause your period to be late are

stress
Illness
changing medications
Hope that this helps you mac
