Does Delay In Periods And Feeling Bloated Mean Pregnancy?

Hi, im 30 yrs old. I havent had a period in 40 days, feeling very bloated and have tried 3 pregnancy tests, all came back negative. I am usually quite regular. Could i be pregnant and should I wait few more weeks or should i make an apptmt with my doc? Thanks

Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic.com. Well normally urine pregnancy test usually come positive 5 days after missed period. So in your case two things are possible:

1. You are not pregnant and your bloating and reason of delay of pregnancy is something else.

2. There is a possibility that you ovulated late this month due to some reason and your pregnancy test become positive a little later.

As it has been 40 days now i will suggest you to repeat one more home pregnancy test,if you are pregnant then its okay, If not i will suggest you to meet your gynecologist to find out reason.Thanks hope it helps ,feel free to ask if you have any other queries.
