i'm 21 days late. i woke up and wanted to take a pregnancy test but the boyfriend hid it from me (he thinks im testing too often and freaking myself out.)

but i also felt a little bit of cramps down there so this could be good (or bad, depending on how i -really- want all of this to turn out. im not sure yet.) however, typically before a period my lower back hurts first about 3 days ahead of time and i've felt relatively comfy..

testing too often? have they been negative so far?

[chrissysue.livejournal.com]

yeah, negative so far. ive tested four times..im paranoid because i do smoke and dont want to wait for too long not knowing..

if you're 21 days late and testing negative, you're NOT pregnant. i promise.

I Promise too.

You can't promise her, you're not a physician who has examined her.

OP: I see by your comments below that you're new to your area and don't have a regular physician--is there a Planned Parenthood in your area? You might also want to consider going to a walk in clinic if there are any where you're at; it's not at all the same as seeing a physician who has your history and with whom you've established a rapport but for the sake of your mental health, you really might want to see someone soon. There are all kinds of reasons that otherwise perfectly healthy women might miss a period but you're obviously giving yourself way too much stress.

Thanks. :) Yeah, I'm calling a place today that I found in the yellow pages and went to their site and they seem friendly enough. Thanks again!

ok , not even a physician can promise that 100% of the time... All we are doing is trying to help her ease her mind. I think she understands we mean that it's pretty hard for the test to be wrong so many times.

Not exactly, but usually you're right. However, the last time I was pregnant I did not get a positive until I was a month and a half late. Some pregnancies are just like that.

I don't think I am, but it's never impossible.

also, tell your boyfriend you love him for caring about you freaking yourself out. lol

while it's good that you're testing, if you're 21 days late perhaps you should see a doctor to make sure everything's ok?

Yeah, I've been really considering it. I'm normally pretty regular and I just moved and it could be stressed, but I just moved to Kentucky and haven't quite found a gyno just yet. I'm getting on it soon though..it's getting too stressful for me and the boyfriend not knowing whats going on..

after i moved and had all those worries i actually missed my period for about 3 months, but i saw a doctor anyhow. SO yeah :-D good luck with everything. I hope the move works out for you and you find a good gyno :-)
