I have a few different questions. First I
have a 24 day cycle. I recently came off
birth control because of other medication
that is being impacted by it (seizure
medication). I was on birth control for 4
years. When I came off the pills my period
regulated to a 24 day cycle immediately
and has been that way ever since. This
month I had unprotected sex once on April
2nd knowing full and what I was doing (as
did the guy) and if I got pregnant it
would have been ok. My LMP was on March
25th. And my period this month should have
arrived on April 18th but it is now 5 days
late. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests one
on the 19th (First Response early
detection) and one this morning (clear
blue easy digital) both negative. I have
never missed a period or even been late
for a period in my life. Is there a reason
as to why my period would be late AND I am
getting a neg. preg. test? I am having a
few minor symptoms but they are also
things that happen when I pms. I have been
moody my breasts are a little tender but
not extremely by any means I keep feeling
as if I am going to start my period but it
is just excess discharge. I was having
cramps the week prior to when I should
have started my period but nothing extreme
just minor discomforts as I call them but
since the day I should have started it has
gone away. And the only thing that is
different is the fact that my nipples were
extremely sensitive that week prior to the
point that wearing a bra hurt it has
definately not been as bad since but they
are still sensitive to the touch but other
than that they are fine. Is there any way
I am pregnant and still getting a negative
test this far into it? If not wheres my
period?! And what do you think I should
do? I appreciate all input by anyone.
Thanks in advance.

oh and I forgot to mention I am also way
more tired than ever before but getting to
sleep is the hardest thing ever I get
nauseated throughout the day but it goes
away with eating and I get monster
headaches. Not migraines by any means
because I get those due to a seizure
disorder that I have but they are bad
headaches that never seem to go away.
Thanks again everyone!

You could very well be pregnant. Some
women take longer to build up the hcg in
their systems. But there could be other
explanations for not having a period
including medications, stress, or
something more serious. I highly
recommend going to see your DR. and
getting a blood test. Then you will know
for sure. It sounds like the symptoms you
have started really early... but it is
entirely possible that they are pregnancy
symtoms. Also you may want to write your
symtoms down and when they started so when
you go to the dr. you don't forget
anything.
By the way, I have a good friend that has
a seizure disorder as well and just had a
beautiful baby girl. So if you are hoping
to get pregnant good luck to you. Let me
know how it goes.
