Hi Lauren, Thank you so much for your reassuring words, I thought the HCG levels were lower in an ectopic, but I know you would know, Grace another member has helped me so much also. Would you not think a urine home test after 13 days late of a missed period would come up positive Lauren?? You say it would come up positive even if it were ectopic? I took 3 tests, one at 3 days late, morning urine, one at 7 days late, evening urine, and yesterday, first morn urine! My stomach is cramping and hurting, and I am sick to my stomach, light-headed and so panicky! My husband took my son to his MOther's so I am all alone and feel so scared, my period will just NOT come, I know nothing about "perimenopause" people say I am too young {44} I am not having hot flashes or night sweats or "dryness" if you know what I mean, I almost wish I were, that sounds strange, I know, but at least it would be somewhat "normal" I get scard since I am so late {if I am not pregnant} I will bleed and hemmorage to death! These thoughts are so negative and I am trying to chase them away, I have a GYN appt Wed, I had to go out of our insurance plan because the HMO is so bad, my primary has no openings, my only option is ER and I really do not want to do that, I just wish I could STOP thinking this is ectopic, or cancer, I have never been 2 weeks late, I am like clockwork every 26 days, in Jan I had two periods within 3 weeks, I have heard that could be the change, but then in Feb I was normal, if you could give me some information since you worked in a GYN office I would be so grateful, this pain and panic is killing me, I actually feel like I am dying! Sorry to ramble on or bother you, I apologize I am all alone and so scared. Thank you, Deb.
