Thread: 5 days late but I have cramping?

Hi ,
I have learned from the ladies here that sometimes the HCG levels are too low to detect in a hpt. If I were you, I would wait till you are 7 days late and test again, and then if it is still a negative and your af doesn't come, I would go get a blood test done. They say those can detect low levels of HCG that a hpt can't.
I hope that helps and good luck to you!

Hi Alicia,

My results kept coming back negative until 7 days after my AF was due. And yes I got AF type cramping badly so I kept thinking it was on its way.

Good luck!! I hope you are pregnant!!!!!!!

Hi Alicia and welcome to . I agree with the others the longer you can hold out the better. Try to look for a ultrasensitive test or early pregnancy test and this might also give you a better result if your hcg is low. See the doctor if you symptoms continue, get negative results with not AF. I hope that you get you bfp and good luck. Sam

I took a test yesterday and one today and they were both negative. Still no sign of AF. The cramping is gone though. I am going to wait untill maybe saturday or sunday to retest. I guess I will just have to wait and see. Does anyone know what the best home pregnancy test is???

Hi Alicia!
I took a pregnancy test 3 days after my missed period and I tested positive. About a day after I took the test I felt very bloated, I had cramps, and i niticed a bit more vaginal discharge, so if your anything like me you could very well be pregnant. If i were you I would go out and get a test, If your period is always normal, and you haven't got it yet, your either pregnant, or there is some other problem, so get a test and go see a dr wether it is positive or negative, the sooner you know the better. Good Luck!!

Alicia,

I too have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. For the first time in my life my period is 5 days late. The first day of my last period was on Dec24th. I always get my period on day 28 or 30th at he lastest. I went to the Dr and took a blood and urine test, they both came back negative. The last time we tried to concieve was lst Thursday Jan24th, the day before my period, but I knew I wasn't ovulating because I had cramping and throught my period was going to come. Still no period!! Could be stress or good be pregnant. Many women take time in producing HCG hormone, hence negative results.
