A member asked:

Im 18 dpo and 4 days late on my menstrual cycle, ( which is rare) , i took a hpt at 16 dpo and it was (-), could i still be pregnant?

Delayed Menses: It depends on how you calculate the day of ovulation. Assuming you are using a urine LH kit, then not having a positive test 16 days after an LH surge test would not be unusual. Please check again in 48 hours. You may need your physician to check.
