Alicia!!!!! I can relate completely! My last period was nov. 23, no sign since! I also took a hpt on dec. 30, it was neg. Here's my situation: I have about forty day cycle( /- a day). My bf and I had intercourse dec 20-23, no contact since. My period was due around jan. 1st or 2nd. I was told that it was too early to have taken my test on the dec. 30th.(do to the process...Fertilization, and implanting) in which I was told is a 7-10 day process! But maybe its nerves...Its too close to call! So when should I retest? I know that the test works based on the pregnancy hormone. I've spoken to a health care provider, and was told that it was too soon to detect the hormone.????? So any input from you guys would help! According to my calculations, with my cycle not being average, everything lines up...As far as conception being around the 20th.....Thanks in advance ladies....~~~sibley
