Driving myself crazy .. Updated :(

So my blood test came back negative and still no sign of AF. I've never been this late before, but I suppose there must be something else going on. The Dr hit me with some not-so-wonderful news while I was at their office - My iron and potassium levels are critically low so I will be going to the hospital twice per month to get iron infusions and my potassium does has been doubled to try and cope with  how low it's showing. I am very upset about the negative results, but I suppose it's for the best if I am having health problems. Good luck to all you expecting mothers!

Never thought I'd be posting on this board....

I'm at a point right now where I am starting to seriously wonder if it's possible that I may be pregnant. Yesterday I woke up with mild cramping (something I've never gotten before a period) and I was constantly running to the washroom to pee. This morning I woke up and as soon as I got out of bed, I felt nauseated, but not enough to make me feel like I had to go running to the toilet or anything (and it went away within a couple of minutes). I've also gone pee 5 times so far this morning (and it's only just after 11). My last period was on Dec 12th and my husband and I were unprotected on Dec 24th and again on Dec 28th or 29th. AF was due an entire week ago, yet when I took a test last night (extreme curiosity), it came back negative. I suppose it's possible that I'm just freakishly late this month and I'm getting some weird PMS that I've never had before. Or could I be pregnant and maybe taking the test at 8pm wasn't such a hot idea? I'm so beyond stressed right now and I don't want to say anything to my husband until I'm more sure (I would hate to say something today and get his all worried and then have AF show up tomorrow morning).

I don't think I actually asked any questions Lol I suppose I just need some feedback.. reassurance. I don't know - anything that would help me calm down would be nice!

Wait a couple more days, then pee on another stick.

What type of test are you using?  I was using the cheaper kinds and never did get a positive response, bought one of the expensive digital tests and boom right on the money it said yes.  They said morning is the best time to test, but it was like 4 in the afternoon when I tested.

Really funny thing....I had a bunch of the dollar store really cheap test, I was like 6 weeks prego and the darn thing never did show positive!!!!

I bought a 2 pack of the First Response brand.


I'm not sure at what point I should start getting nervous about no period and no positive test. 1 week late? 2 weeks late? Maybe I'm just late or maybe I'm one of those people who can spend a ton of money on tests and never have them come out positive and have to go to the Doctor's for a blood test. Who knows. :(

Just letting you know, first response is a good brand but sometimes the test line comes up so light you cant see it for a while.  In fact I used FR and threw it away b.c I thought it was negative because the line was so light.  I picked it out of the garbage a few minutes laster and saw a faint line.  I would retest in the morning!

After I read this, I picked my FR test out of the garbage and it was still negative. It was pretty sad lol

I am sorry that your blood test cam back negative. I am happy they were able to fine your vitamin issue and you will be able to get them under control.

Good Luck,
