leLovely answered Thursday June 14 2007, 1:06 am: Probably not. Sometimes periods are delayed because of stress, and you're probably just extremely stressed out because you think that you're pregnant. If you still don't get your period within the next week, try another test. If you're really worried, go to the clinic. [ leLovely's advice column | Ask leLovely A Question ]

Brandi_S answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 1:31 pm: Pregnancy tests are more likely to have a false negative than a false positive.
Why, you ask? Because if you take the test too soon, it can show up negative. This is because it takes some time for the pregnancy hormone to be strong enough in your urine for the test to accurately read it.
Since you are 19, there is a chance that your menstrual cycles aren't regulated. Therefore, it is always best to wait until you become AT LEAST two weeks late, rather than one, to ensure you get an accurate result from the test.
Give it another week, and try to chill out in the mean time (I know- easier said than done), because high stress can cause your period to be late.
Michele answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 1:21 pm: Well I could tell you not to worry but that would be impossible. Those pregnancy test are pretty accurate, or word would get out, and women wouldn't buy them. If you followed the instructions exactly, then I would say chances are good that you are not. Because the test measures the amount of extra estrogen in your urine. As soon as you become pregnant the amount of estrogen in your body increases.
In any event, I know you won't stop worrying until you actually get your period.
Good luck to you.
