Question:

Okay, I really do not want to ask the question, "Am I pregnant?". I know that you all can not answer that. What I DO want to know is if anyone else has had the same experience as me. I am on birth control, although the pill I am taking is estrogen-only since I was breastfeeding but I have not been doing so for the last six months. I have not gotten on the combination pill yet. On that note, I am always always always regular with my period. I have it virtually on the dot every 27-28 days. That being said, I was due to have my period on the 5th of this month...nothing. I have taken 2 HPTs and they have both come back negative, granted I did not take them in the morning like some advise but I didn't know how much of a difference that would make. Even if my period is just late, I wouldn't expect it to be 9 days late regardless of stress etc. I am by no means stressing over it (although I probably should be) but I am trying not to worry. Has anyone ever been through this?

Answers:
Taking a HPT early first thing in the morning when you're only a couple of weeks pregnant, makes a load of difference. When you're sleeping all the extra hormones sit in your bladder waiting to be flushed out with your morning pee, which is why you're supposed to take pregnancy tests in the morning, that's when they give the most accurate results.

It's best to just do things by the instructions, especially if you don't know why it's asking you to do something.

That being said, stress and many other things beside pregnancy can cause a delayed or skipped period. You can go to a doctor or a women's clinic for a blood test to check for pregnancy. Since I've been on birth control, my period has been very regular, but it's perfectly normal to be late or skip a period entirely one month!
