Q: Increasing Bad Situation

I'm a member of another pregnancy forum, but no no one there ever answered my question very well. I got my period last month (dec.) on the 16 and laasted thru the 21. It's already the 26 of jan. And no period. Now my period usuallystart 2-3 day later than the one previous. Yet taking that into consideration, i'm pretty late. I've taken 3 preg. Tests both digital and non, andthey have all came up negative. Other than a skipped period, I don't have any other signs of pregnancy, although I have had cramping for a very short while (ten minutes tops) a couple days last week. Then in class today I got these really sharp stabbing pains in my abdomin, which werent anything like my usual cramps, it hurt to even move, butthen wen taway after about 20 minutes. I'm sorry for such a long post, but i'm starting to freak out because i'm never this late and at first I wasn't worried but now, i'm starting to wonder... Does anyone have any advice? Sad

It looks like you are about 1 week late on your period. A pregnancy test should show up by now. Are you taking it in the morning with your first morning urine like it says on the directions?

If you are very concerned, you can always go to the doctor. Have you been having unprotected sex? If you have been, then you know it is likely you could be pregnant - but no one can tell you if you are pregnant.

This might be a good time to find a method of birth control!

I never engage in unprotected sex. I broke up with my boyfriend over 2 weeks ago. I believe if i'm correct, the last time we had sex was the 5th of jan. Only once, with a condom that didn't break. We have been having sex for a year and i've always been a few days late since I became sexually active, but liek I said never this late. I've already asked my mom about birth control like 3 months ago, and she said i'd ahve to wait until I get insurance and a doctor again. S oyou advise me to take another test? And no, I haven't been taking them in the morning, I did once, but I screwed it up and the test didn't work right.

you can go to planned parenthood for birth control (and pregnancy testing). It is free.

planned parenthood does not tell your parents. They only give a test similar to a home pregnancy test. At least you'll get an accurate result. If you are over a week late on your period, a pregnancy test should be positive if you are pregnant. And since you've taken multiple tests, you are probably not pregnant.

They won't tell your parents anything about birth control you are taking or anything.
