Pregnancy possible ?

 Hi...my last period
was December 8th 2007. I had sex December
23rd-24th. I am now 11 days late which
would make me 5weeks and 3 days pregnant.
My period is never this late. I have a
regular 28 day cycle. I have been very
neaseous since Sunday. Yesterday I went to
the clinic to take a Pregnancy test and it
came back negative. I also took a test
this morning (just hoping it would be
positive so I can ease my mind) but it
came out negative. I was wondering if
possibly I tested too early or maybe I'm
not as far along as I think I am or my HCG
levels are too low. I heard that the 5th
week of pregnancy your HCG levels increase
and there should be enough in your body to
detect through a urine HPT. Has anyone
been in a similar situation like this or
know of anyone who has? I am just nervous
and I want to know if I am pregnant or not
so I can begin my pre natal care. Thanks.

hey!
if you had sex the 23rd i would give it
another week.
also stressing out about being pregnant
can actually give you signs of pregnancy
(late periods, hunger, mood swings) so
just relax and give it time!

if she doesn't get a pos. HPT and she
still feels she's pregnant and just not
getting a pos. on the HPT she could go get
a blood test to ease her mind. A blood
test will tell you FOR SURE if you are or,
are not pregnant...

you can get a blood test done
hpts are normally correct though.
sometimes women never get an acurate
result on an hpt but a blood test will be
acurate. the hpt should be giving you a
acurate result right now. but you could
get a blood test and then if its nag talk
to your dr about why your period is late
could be stress related. sometimes if your
young then you get iiregular periods. its
normal and it can happen
hope you get it figured out!

Thnaks everyone. I haven't been stressing
at all actually. I just really started
thinking about it since the day before
yesterday. I'm 22yrs old and my periods
have always been regular. I would go get a
blood test but the thing is that I don't
have any medical insurance to go see a
doctor. That's why I was hoping that I
would get a positive so I can get some
insurance. I don't know what to do.

maybe you could just wait a couple of
weeks, like two more and test again. My
last period was on Nov 11. I tested
negative once at about the middle of
December. I didnt get a positive until
1/04/07 and that was through a home preg
test and the blood test from a doc. So
maybe its too soon.
Maybe you could just relax and give it
more time. Try not to stress more than you
already are.

GIRL- look into the insurance thing before
you hope for a positive-
they might be able to deny you insurance
because of a "preexisting condition" I'm
not sure about pregnancy, but just make
sure about it before you tell them the
results...

It definitely wasn't planned but I know I
want kids eventually. I would be excited
if I were pregnant. I see it as a
blessing. As far as the insurance
thing...I would need to know if I'm
pregnant before I get insurance now! They
ask all of that when you try to get
insurance! I did call Medicare or Medicaid
(I cant remember which one) and I would be
able to get on with them if I am pregnant.

Yes Medicaid is very good to have for you
and your baby. We started trying to have
a baby in June. It was such a hassle that
I said forget it and we have just been not
thinking about it. Then now we have one.
Well if you are Im happy for you. It truly
is a blessing. The morning sickness isnt,
but its all so worth it.

Thank you! I know the morning sickness
sucks...my pregnancy hasn't even been
confirmed and yet Im getting morning
sickness! It started on Sunday...I have
never experienced something like that in
my life. It was horrible. I got it really
bad on Tuesday as well, I ended up leaving
work early (thats the day I went to the
clinc for the test) because it was so bad.
Thats how I know I'm pregnant! I get the
neasea almost every other day!

just a side note though
even though youve always had regular
periods reguardless of your age they can
still be irregular. its very common and
happens alot.
nausea can be a sign of morning sickness
but dont use that to "know" youre
pregnant. because thats also the sign of a
stomach bug or the flu.

True and thanks for your advise but it all
seems too "Coincidental" that I would have
missed my period, and during that time
have what I believe was "implantiation
cramping and spotting" then a week after
that feel naseous!! All of a sudden now my
period is irregular and I feel this way.
I'm pretty sure I would know if I have a
stomach flu...I bearly catch colds. I
calculated my ovulation and conception
date and that was around the time my bf
came inside of me...now weeks later I'm
feeling this way because of stress and a
flu...what a coincident! Sorry if I seem
anal...you may very well be right!
