I am nine days late for my period, which is always very regular (around 28 days, give or take a day). The latest I have ever been is four days.

My last period was on August 16. My husband and I had unprotected sex several times during the month. I have taken several hpt's and they have all been negative except for the first one...that one was positive for about ten minutes before the line disappeared.

I'm not under anymore stress than usual. I pms'd earlier in the month...now I feel like I am pms'ing again - irritable, tired and hungry all the time and some mild cramping. My boobs usually get sore during pms, but they didn't this time. I haven't had any sorness at all. And I've been having white, creamy discharge.

I'm giving it another week or so before I have a blood test done, but was wondering if anybody had any input. This is driving me crazy!

Thanks :)
 
The general rule is a pregnancy test can be taken 14 DPO (which is effectively the first day of your missed period). This is when the Hcg pregnancy hormone is high enough to pick up on a pregnancy test. To be 9 days passed your missed period and still have a negative pregnancy test i would say that no you are probably not pregnant this time. Hcg levels double every day passed your missed period so at 9 days passed you missed period the level would be highly detectable with a pregnancy test. A blood test is the way to go next - blood can measure as low as 5ml of Hcg. Good luck
