I'm a week late for my usually very regular periods (28 day cycle) but i took a test yesterday & was negative, have any women had a negative test a week after missing their period then took one later 7 it's been positive?

I'm just curious don't think i'm pregnant but just want to rule out the possibility.. so i can have a cigarette again!

Yes that's what i thought, my mother is freaking me out though she says when she was pregnant with my little brother she went to the gp 2 weeks after her missed period had a test & it was negative was told to return if she missed her next period, missed her 2nd period & the test was positive she was 2 months pregnant!!!

ummmm

It can happen. It's rare though.

oh thats a shame

I was 16 weeks because I wasn't really trying (married, no contraception, took a while to fall) plus waaaaayyyy back then you pee'd into a test tube, literally! lol added something to it via a pippet and had to wait an hour, yes! a whole hour, to go and look. None of this knowing before you've even missed a period, even GPs wouldnt test you before you had skipped 2 lol

2nd one, was trying and knew when AF was due, and just knew I was pg and exactly what day I fell on as well. Tested with one of these new fangled, tells you in 3 minutes type tests and it showed before I'd finished pee'ing

Most pregnancy tests are highly accurate, they will not give a false positive so if it says negative 7 days after you are due in it's unlikely your pregnant if your sure in your dates etc. Might be worth a trip to the doc if you dint come on soon. Missing a period can be caused by many things, stress etc. Good luck.
