Okay I honestly feel kinda stupid but it's driving me crazy so I'm going to ask. I had my last period in January and haven't actually started yet. I have had lots of cramping but nothing else. I've taken a couple HPT and they're negative everytime. I keep thinking that I'm going to start but nothing. My cramps come and go very quickly and I feel like I'm losing my mind thinking that anytime now I'm going to start. I know that sometimes you can skip ovulating and that might cause it and also stress is a factor. It's just so weird to me because I have been "regular" for about 6 months now and then this out of the blue. I don't want to keep taking tests to only get discouraged and also for the expense factor. Any advice? I don't feel like I'm overly stressed right now either. Please help.

Maybe you should see your doctor. I haven't had this experience but it doesn't sound normal. Good luck

If you had your last period in January, you could just be late in ovulating. I've been pretty regular with my periods and this past fall, in October, I ovulated nearly 2 weeks late, which pushed my period back really far. I went almost two full months without getting another one. The cramps you had could have been linked to ovulating, which means you may get your period in another couple weeks. (depending on what your typical time span is between ovulating and menstruation) I don't know if you have heard of it before, but I do fertility charting. It's wonderful not just for tracking when you're fertile to either help you get pregnant or help you avoid it, but it has given me such a better understanding of my body's inner workings (as screwed up as they can be). I did know, by my charting, that I had just been late in ovulating, so where I normally would have started thinking "Ohh this could be it!" and buying a dozen HPTs, I watched my temps and cervical fluid and knew that I was just REALLY late. and when I finally did get that period? ack it was a doozy....

I'd make an appt with the doc if you dont get your period by the end of the month, which should give ample time for a late period, if that's what happened.

My thoughts too. I would see a Dr.

and even I would say to see your doctor. You may be pregnant, you may not. The important thing is that you stay healthy.

You really do need to go to the doctor. If you are pregnant, you need prenatal care from the begining. If not, i would want to know why it is happening. Good luck.

Yep. Call your doctor.

I had three negative HPTs before I finally had a positive. It just took a while for the hormone to get to my urine. But it sounds like you may have something else going on. Call, check, you'll feel better to at least have a little help in figuring out what is going on.
