I have been off the birth control pill since April. My body resumed regular periods right away. This is month 5 and I am 11 days late for my period. We ARE trying to get pregnant, and hope this could be the reason BUT 4 pregnancy home tests have been NEGATIVE. I really really really want to be pregnant with my first baby!! Was on the pill for almost 10 years...can you help me?? Other symptoms:
sick to stomach at various times during day
had loose stool for 4 days and now constimpated for 5
slight dull lower back ache-never had before
FREQUENT urination-possibly bladder infection could bladder infection be throwing off urine preg. test?
Thank you so much!
Hopefully Pregnant,
Cheryl

The best time to test for pregnancy is at least 2 weeks after a missed period, and a blood test done by your doctor is the most accurate way of testing. Other reasons for period abnormalities include stress, weight gain/loss, thyroid, hormonal imbalance, infection, illness, medications, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons. If the blood test comes back negative, your doctor can do further testing to determine what the exact cause may be.
