Ok so I need your advice.. I am almost a month late with my period this Sunday will be one month exactly. I took a pregnacy test and it came out Negative. I have been dieting and lost around 6 pounds this month .I am never regular with my period but not this late. Fh and I are not ready right now to have a baby. I made an appt with the doctor but its not until next week. Are the home pregnacy tests accurate?? someone help me!!!!! thanks in advance

Suzanne: I already took one over the weekend(fact plus) and it came out Negative.
Would I have symptoms now if I was pregnant?

Re: Freaking out!!
take another test....it also could be because of your weight loss...sometimes that throws off your cycle!!

When those pregnancy tests say positive you are 98% likely to be pregnant. When they say negative there is still a large chance may still be pregnant. Just info I have heard ... you really need the doctor to confirm this.
Good Luck!

Re: Freaking out!!
My cycle always gets screwy when I diet - if the pregnancy test were negative I would not worry!

DON'T FREAK OUT YET!!!
First off...you could have skipped due to the weight loss...due to stress...due to the fact that your not usually regular.
Are you on the pill?? It is NORMAL for you to skip a period...it doesn't happen to everyone...but it is common.
Home pregnancy tests are pretty acurate...but take another one.
STAY CALM...and don't stress yourself out yet..trust me...I'm the 'think I'm pregnant every month' queen!!!

This has happened to me, and when you first start loosing weight, your body can get all screwed up because your exercising more and your eating habits are different. Mine was actually almost 2 months late because of this, so I think you'll be alright. It can't hurt though to see your gyno just to maybe feel better.

Sometimes your body just skips a cycle. Go to your doctor and have her check you out. I missed mine a few months back and I was panicked but I went to the doctor and she said sometimes that just happens. The next month is came exactly the right time and has be normal since.

Thanks everyone for your suppport and helping me feel alittle better. You all are going to think I am nuts but I just bought another test and ran into the bathroom at work and took it and it came out NEGATIVE again. I have an appt for the 14th at my doctor but hopefully I get it before than. I will keep all of u posted.
thanks again!

Re: Freaking out!!
When your body changes - due to exercise, weight loss/gain, stress - you can skip cycles. Stressing can also delay your cycle. And your cycles change every so often...
Personally, I would go to the dr and have them test you - especially if you already took a home test and are still feeling nervous. Go and ease your mind.

Re: Freaking out!!
I've been reading a book on fertility, and it says that stress and weight loss can definitely affect when you ovulate.....which affects when you finally get your period...although home pregnancy tests can come back falsely negative, it's not like you took it only 2 days after you were late...see what the doctor says, I'm sure it will be ok! Please let us know how it goes...

nicky what ever happened? Did you go to the dr.? My friend is going through the same thing. She called me all upset and it reminded me of you. So I wanted to see how things were going.

Re: Freaking out!!
I think the dieting threw your body off. I also think that stress can play a big part in throwing off your cycle. My cycle has been thrown off from being excited about the wedding or stress from my old job. It happens sometimes and its completely normal.
