I'm 3 weeks late and pregnancy test negative could I be pregnant?

Is it possible to be pregnant and have negative test? I had a qualitative PT at the Dr's and it was negative too. My periods were always regular I felt crampy for about a week but now it's gone, I'm very tired and frustated.

Hello,

I'd believe the test at your doctor's office.  That said, see what happens to your menses over the next few weeks.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

Verry possible, That's how it was for me and my little second line was really pale the nurse who took the test had to get a second opinion because she wasn't sure if she was seeing things or not.  this was all avbout three weeks after i should have started

Good Luck

I was due on my period on 18th.... have done 3 Neg tests (one this morning) , no sign what so ever of a period.... no pains nothing.

Had my mirena coil removed in December periods sometimes 2 or 3 days late but no more than this.

im so confused should i go see a doctor or.....???

Did he do a blood test? If not then I would request one. I did 3 PT's at home and they all came out positive, but the urine test I did at my doctor's was negative. So I wouldn't always go by that. The best way to tell is a blood test. You know your body and if your periods are always normal than it is more than likely. It is however kind of strange that you were 3 weeks late, and the tests came up negative when most tests are able to detect a few days prior to your missed period. I don't know. Maybe it's a cycle change. Good luck with whatever it is. If you want to be, then I hope you are.

I am 10 days late and going mad. Been trying now for over 4 years. Already have 5 year old daughter so I know 'things' work. I feel bloated, tired, hungry and my kidneys are sore. Took a test and was negative - too scared to another test

I have recently started taking clomid 50mg. I'm am very anxious and confused. On my 21st day of my cycle I had a progesterone level drawn and it was 15.5. Well I am 2 days late, today is the 30th day of my cycle. I had a progesterone level drawn and a quantitative hcg level drawn. today. The hcg was less than 1.0 which indicates that I'm not preganant but by progesterone level is 28.5. Does this mean I still may be pregnant. Is it too eary for the HCG to show up. I also took a urine test on the 28th day of my cycle and had 1 dark line and 1 pale line????? Very confused.
