Is it possible to be pregnant if your period is a week late but you have symptoms of pregnancy?

Answer 1

Yes you could. Pregnancy tests are 97% effective. So if 100 people took a test and all received a negative, approximatly 3 of them would actually be pregnant, even though they had a negative result.

To find out for sure whether you are pregnant or not i would advise yu to visit your doctor, he would be able to do a blood test which is slightly more sensitive than a home pregnancy test.

It may be that the hormones released by the implanted embryo may not be enough to show up on a hoe pregnancy test. Try again in a week or so and if you still have symptoms and a negative result then go to your doctor.

Answer 2

I am in the same situation, and from all I have read on this subject, yes, you could definitely be pregnant being one week late, even though the test shows negative. It takes longer for some women than others, to produce the pregnancy hormone hcg at a high enough concentration to show up on a home pregnancy test. Also, the tests vary in the amounts of the hormone they are able to detect. Some can detect as little as 20 or 25mIU of hcg, while others need as much as 100mIU. However, time will tell for sure if you are pregnant. I have read stories of women who had a negative test after being two weeks late, and then had a positive one a week later. I know for certain that I am pregnant because I recognize the tell-tale signs that I have had in the past. I began to worry when the test came back negative this morning, but after all I have read, I see that every women is different and every pregnancy is different. Hope this helps!

I am in the same situation as well. I tested a week before my period was due because i was having symptoms but it came out negative. Now my period is 4 days late and i did have spotting. I hope i am pregnant. I have a feeling that i am. I will test again in a week if my period still doesn't come. Please do let me know if you get a positive pregnancy test soon. Thanx.

I am ALSO in the same situation as all 3 of you. I am a week late for my period. On the day my period was due I had a little bit of brown blood and that was it. Nothing else after it. I am having symptoms too, headaches, sore breasts I've broken out in acne like carzy, and I'm urinating mor frequently. And yet I've had 3 negative pregnancy tests....

I also had the same..i had a tiny spot of blood in my discharge for 2 days but nothing came of it! I am a week and a half late and have had period like cramps but no period plus my breasts have swelled from today! I did a test which came out negative..i was on the pill but was taking antibitoics which stop it from working and had sex..am going to go to docotrs but am worried it could be something more serious!

Answer 3

Yes you could be pregnant if you are having unprotected sex. Symptoms are usually nausea, vomiting, and breast tenderness. If you are pregnant, you could be threatening to have a misscarriage, or not pregnant and having a late period.
