Could I Be Pregnant If My Periods Are Delayed?
Last month (March) I started my period on the 4th, this month I am late, 7 days late so far. I have been late (5-12 days late) for the past 4 months, all negative pregnancy tests , granted they were Dollar Tree pregnancy tests. Could I be pregnant? Also my breasts are tender, but sometimes they get that way when I am late.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Tenderness of breasts is not a sure sign of pregnancy. Since your urine tests are negative for pregnancy, your chances of being pregnant are extremely low. You can wait for a week more and repeat the test in case your periods do not come by then.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
