i am23 yrs old, my boyfriend and i are sexually active bt we are not yet trying to conceive bt if a baby cmes by its fyn, we use the pull out method and condoms since i hate pills, i strted my last period on 26/03/2014 and my nxt was due on the 23/04/2014 bt it ddnt show up so that makes me abt 3 weeks late, i also have been brown spotting on and off for the past 2 weeks bt its very light not to even fill a tampoon just drops usually wen i wake up nothing else during the day (sorry tmi bt i am rilly worried), smetyms i hev slight cramps bt its jus twinges not like period pain that i usually have, i have no other symptoms apart frm that, i have taken 8 hpts to date and m getting negatives, also my bf and me used the pull out method twice in april and the last tym it was on 15/04/2014, ystrdy i went for a free pap smear at a local clinic and i told them abt my symptoms and the nurses said i shld see a doctor as they thot i am pregnant despite the negative tests and they refused to do book me for the papt smear until i have seen a doctor, i can only see a doctor next week since we dont have money ryt nw and we are not on medical aid, my question is, is it possible to be pregnant and the test are not showing yet or its smething else? i noe i shld see a doctor bt for this week i dont see it happening becoz of money issues so i js wnt people's experiences pliz
Hi Shaznet,
From what you're saying, a home pregnancy Test should have been able to pick up the hormone it needs to determine pregnancy. Also from what you're saying, it seems the times that you had sex were times when you were most fertile. Occasionally, hpt's are unable to pick up the hormone in some women or some women secrete different levels. But, there is also the possibility that you aren't pregnant and this is just an irregular month. You may have even stressed yourself into missing this one! Either way going to a doctor is probably the best course of action to see what is going on:)
Best of Luck!
