Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

granitecrane332 said:Ladies, if you find that your period is running late... please, just go out and buy a pregnancy test immediately. There is absolutely no reason to put yourselves through that unnecessary stress and anxiety.

🙏🙏🙏...the whole point here is the word late....👍

So, I just took a test, and it came back negative... 😢
I’ve really been getting my hopes up with all of this... It wasn't exactly planned, but honestly, I would have been so happy if it had been positive...

Try taking it with your first urine of the morning instead...

I’m planning on running one more test this Sunday or maybe Monday, so we’ll just have to wait and see. I really hope the results come back positive 🙂🙂🙂🙂 because, honestly, I don't know what else I can do at this point... 😕🤔

Monday would be preferable 😉 specifically using my first morning urine sample.

Hey there! I've been scrolling through this thread for a bit, but I couldn't find anything quite like my situation... (this thing is massive). Basically, my period is a month late (I stopped taking the pill about 6 months ago), and I just took two different tests today. Both came back negative. Still, I'm feeling pretty anxious... right before testing, I downed two cases of water... then realized later that you aren't supposed to drink a ton of fluids before a test. Now I'm wondering if I messed up the results, though it wasn't like an insane amount of liquid... I just tested immediately after. 🤷

Just wanted to give you all a quick update like I promised: I went to my OB-GYN today, and she gave me a referral for a blood pregnancy test. She noticed some thickening in my uterine lining, but she isn't entirely sure what's going on yet. Everything should be much clearer tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

That is wonderful news. I am crossing my fingers that it means you're pregnant! 😘

a month late🤔. In my opinion, the test should have returned a positive result by now. If you're a month behind, your hCG levels should be significant enough that most tests will show a plus once the level hits at least 25🤷. You should call your OB-GYN, explain the situation clearly, and schedule an exam🤷. Best of luck, and please let us know what ends up happening😉.

Has anyone else experienced their cycle being delayed while on the pill? Honestly, it’s happening to me right now, even though I've been incredibly diligent about taking my medication every single day for the last six months without missing a beat. It isn't a massive delay, but still, enough to make my mind start racing toward the worst-case scenarios. 😢

Thanks! And yeah, I'll definitely call my doctor.
I just can't wrap my head around how both a Clearblue Mini and an Intimate Plus could show negative if I actually am... 🤷.

I was on the pill for three and a half years, and it was always right on schedule.
A couple of times it was maybe two or four days late... I totally panicked too, but it always showed up eventually.

I truly hope things turn out that way for me as well; fingers crossed.

arrived 🙏

That is 🙂, yet you seem to be panicking for absolutely no reason 😉

It’s me again. My pregnancy test came back negative, so it looks like everything was just a fluke—even though the bleeding I had was way lighter than my usual period. Regardless, 🙂🙂🙂

I am so sorry.🙂, and I truly understand how you feel. You have no idea how many times I’ve allowed myself to get my hopes up only to be met with nothing (ten times 🙄).

I'm rooting for you guys! :* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe try taking the condom off next time.😕

Look, if you seriously want a baby that badly...🤷

Just a quick update... I literally just ordered one, and then my period shows up the very next day after being a month late!! It's never been this late in my life. Guess anything can happen... probably just stress or some big change... something triggered the delay. Still, I'm going to get checked out just to be sure.
