So I am 10 days late and I have taken 3 at home pregnancy test and they have all turned out negative. the first one i took was in the morning after being 4 days late and the other were two days apart but later in the day. I'm confused where is my period? The last test i took was friday i have one more test how may days should i wait to take it? I don't feel like i'm gonna get my period either. i hope that i am pregnant.
I'm still late going on 5 weeks now but i took another test and it came out positive.
Both of my tests turned up very faint. With my first I didn't find out I was prego until almost 3 mos. But a sign was feeling faint and a bit sick to my stomach. My periods were always very irregular. With my second I went to my doctor and he did a vaginal ultrasound and I saw my little girl when she was only a few weeks old. The doc can also do a blood test which is more accurate.
H., It could very well just be stress or your cycle changing. Take the last test with the first urine sample in the morning. Good luck!!!
This has happened to me about three times over my lifetime. Each time I did the same as you, worry, take pregnancy tests, etc. I just had skipped a period for whatever reasons (stress, lack of sleep, who knows). I usually ended up having my period back to normal the same time the following month I would have had it if everything had been normal and on schedule.

Hi H.,
This might start out as a round-about way of answering your question, but...trust me - I do get to an official answer! :)
When my husband & I wanted to start trying to have a child, we waited until we were on a trip to Montreal (where I used to live - loved it there & still miss it!) since I was hoping to have our child conceived there....silly, I know, but if I can't live there, I wanted *something* from there! lol In any case, we were staying at friends' houses for most of the time except for one night in a B&B...so, yep, I knew exactly what day the conception might have taken place.
Upon returning home, I took a pregnancy test exactly one week after the possible conception day, and it came back negative. I took another the next week (two weeks after the possible conception day) and it was positive. And sure enough, I was!
All that was to say...I don't know if this is true or not, but my theory is that it takes about two weeks for your body to have the hormones that the test picks up...if you take it sooner than that, it shows as negative even though you might be. (It seems like I remember reading that somewhere... perhaps on the box of the pregnancy test even??!)
Would you have an idea on when you could've conceived? If it hasn't been two weeks, perhaps you can wait a bit longer and try again? But then again, your period is 10 days late so maybe it's already been two weeks and then some....
I hate to say it - especially since you're hoping that you're pregnant - but maybe you missed your period for another reason (stress? weightloss??), but...I'll keep my fingers crossed that you *are* pregnant! :)
Sorry for the long-winded response & good luck! :)
