Unfortunately many, like sore breasts or bloating, also happen right before your period (a sure sign that you're not pregnant), so it's all a guessing game until you take a test. But if you spot a few of the following symptoms -- and your period is MIA -- it may be time to head to the drugstore or your ob-gyn:

I stopped my birth control pills last month, and had sex on ovulation period. This month period didn't come yet, but I still got negative and breast tender, nausea, headache, sensitivities increased. What should I do?

ok. i need advice. my period has been skipping months and when it comes it doesn't last that long. its been like this for three months. now i have nausea when i eat, especailly dinner. my stomach feels like contracting muscles and like someone is pushing out from the inside. my period is only a day or two late so far. i have seldom headaches but my breasts aren't tender. i already have a two year old and have been pregnant since then (miscarriage) but i didn't have symptoms like this.

I have taken two hpt's and both have shown to be negative. My breasts are tender but not too bad. However, my lower abdominals are killing me and have just been feeling somewhat uncomfortable the past few days. My husband and I are trying to have a baby but I am not sure if all of these pains are caused from the depo provera shot that I have now been off of for 3 months and have regained my regular period. I am due for my period anyday but just feel different. Could the tests be wrong?
