Ok so I am home on leave and have been for
the last month and two weeks, my boyfriend
and I went away the weekend that I got
home, I was supposed to start my period
three and a half weeks ago, seems really
confusing huh? So I have taken three home
test, and it says no. Does any one know
how far along you have to be to tell? I
am only twenty two and scared to death.

Hey there. The home pregnancy tests you
took which gave you a negative are most
likely accurate, considering your period
is three and a half weeks late. Some
hpts, like first response, are able to
pick up on the pregnancy hormone 5 days
before your missed period. Typically, a
hpt will be accurate the day you miss your
period.
I think you should call your doctor and
rule out reasons why your period hasn't
come yet. It could be stress or an
underlying health condition. Good luck to
you.
