Yes my gf and I are having a period scare. We have tested several times over the past month or so with about 3 home tests and one at the hospital when she had a UTI. She's been ultra stressed lately with her job and school. We have worked out for one week pretty vigorously. We have recently tested about 4 days ago and it came out negative like all of the other tests but we are still waiting for her period. What's the deal?
On a side note the last test we took I did something different. As I looked on the test I tilted it and the pee ran through the non pregnant line and there wasn't a plus meaning she wasn't pregnant. Was I suppose to do that or is the test invalid? Thank you for replying.

That looks bleak, sorry.
Enjoy being a father I guess.
She could have missed her period for a variety of reasons other than pregnancy. Stress is a big factor.
>pregnancy test including one done at a hospital all came up negative
congrats, you're not a father
women can completely skip a period for a variety of reasons, it's usually due to stress. You have my permission to stop freaking out now.
See what she can do about reducing those stress levels though, being so strung out is not good for you.

Could be a medical condition.
Standard procedure for missed periods is to test continually until you either get your period, get a positive result, or two weeks pass with only negative results. When the last one happens, you ought to see a doctor.
Would tilting the pee test so the pee can go through the line mess up the test and give invalid results?
Relax. Was the test done by the hospital a blood test? If a blood test came out negative there is no way she's pregnant. Women skip periods for lots of reasons. Is she working out a lot and not eating enough? Did she recently switch jobs? Being around new women on a day to day basis can mess with a woman's hormones, and offset her period. As previously mentioned stress is a big factor, too.
Both of you need to relax. If her period is more than three weeks late, and all of the tests have come back negative, then you're looking at something completely different than pregnancy and she should see a doctor.
