Hi,
My period was due August 14th. It's always on time or off by 1 or 2 days, but very regular. I took a test after about 5 days-negative. Then another one this past Thursday-negative again. This has never happened to me. I know stress is a factor, but I've actually been extremely stress free the past couple of months until now that this happened. And I've been under some major stress before and it was never later than 3-4 days.
Just to get all the facts out:
I did have unprotected sex (haven't been on birth control in 2 years) right after I got off of my July period but he pulled out...
In the past couple of weeks, I've had to pee nonstop, every hour at least. Sometimes, I have to go right after I just did.
I'm exhausted all the time, when I usually am an energizer bunny that can run off of 5-6 hours of sleep and always focused at work and out and about with friends. Now, I can barely keep my eyes open, going to bed much earlier and taking naps after work.
Yesterday I went to pee and when I wiped, there was the slightest hint of pinkish blood I guess, but it didn't come back.
Typically, I have really bad cramps a few days prior to getting my period, but nothing similar to it. I have stomach cramping here and there but not too often.
I have these weird "pregnancy symptoms" but my boobs and nipples aren't sore at all, if anything they've gotten bigger, but I've also put on weight in the past month from extra eating.
I have a doctor appt this Wednesday to get blood work, but I'm scared there may be something else wrong and so confused because the tests all say negative.
Any advice?????

Not only stress being a factor, but I swear ANYTHING can be a factor.

Change in diet, exercise, daily activities, etc. Did you wear purple socks on the right day? j/k But, in all seriousness, your cycle may just be changing. It will change numerous times during your lifetime, sometimes for no reason at all.

You've had two negative tests, so just sit back and relax for a few. Some Dr's don't even want to see you until your at least 6 weeks late because a lot of times, it's just nothing, no reason, no explanation.

Good luck on Wednesday at the Dr's.

I have skipped my period for a month just by being under severe stress/shock. Has anything big happened in your life lately?

I went to the doctor Wednesday and got tested for everything. Thyroid disease runs in my family and that was normal. No STDs. And negative pregnancy. But now I'm late 3 weeks. Still having pregnancy type symptoms. Had a couple pale pink spots Sunday but still unsure.

No major stress, in fact, until this happened, I've been 100% stress free for the first time in a very long time. Still not under too much stress, but this has stressed me out a little obviously but for the most part just been putting it in the back of my head and going about my normal day. I'm gonna wait another week and take a test. My mom told me she went through the same thing with her pregnancies and didn't get a positive till the 7th or 8th week. If I am, I would be going on 6 weeks...So confused and frustrated!!

Just keep taking the preg tests........... stressing about it could make it delayed in coming too. You'll learn that that little monthly gift has a mind of its own the older you get! I know, so frustrating.
