First off, can I just say; everyone here seems so nice and helpful! This is the first time I have joined a site like this. I'm hoping to find a little guidance. I don't expect to find answers, just hoping someone can point me into the right direction.

I'm 11 days late on my period. I haven't even taken a test yet (seems silly now that I'm typing this out) But, I wasn't sure if it is even pointless in taking one yet. How long should I wait before I have enough hormone in my body for a test to detect it?? And if I take one and it shows negative....does this mean I'm not and there are other underlying issues?

Like I said, I'm just looking for a little guidance...anything you can tell me would be helpful. I'm a little nervous. Thank you so much for your time

Welcome to the site!

To answer your question, test test test!

I've seen some women test positive before they even miss their periods, and some women test positive about a week after, even later, go ahead and test! If it's negative, then go see a doctor, they can do a blood test or help you figure out why your period is late if you arent pregnant!

fingers crossed! Let us know the outcome!
and welcome =)
