Although it may sound strange, being nine days late for your period can sometimes be quite normal, even for a woman who has regular periods.
However you said in your questions that you are displaying symptoms such as sore breasts, nausea, being gassy, fatigue and constipated which are all common symptoms of pregnancy. And if you do experience your periods regularly, as in it always comes on the same days or it only varies by a day or two then it would be very worth buying a home pregnancy test and confirming your suspicions yourself. Alternatively you can go to your Doctor's who will be able to conduct a blood test which is more accurate than a home pregnancy test. However a missed period is usually the first sign of a confirmed pregnancy so if you have already missed your period then you should try a home pregnancy test first. If it comes up negative then wait a few days and try again.
When you do take your home pregnancy test, be sure to follow the instructions in the box exactly to ensure that you get an accurate result. Also, another good tip when taking a home pregnancy test is to try and take the test first thing in the morning during your first trip to the toilet. This is because the levels of HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) will be higher in your system and this is the hormone that the pregnancy stick will detect in your urine. HCG is a glycoprotein hormone that is produced during pregnancy by the embryo when it starts to develop after pregnancy. It can also be produced during later pregnancy by the placenta.
If you're pregnancy test comes out positive then congratulations! If it comes out negative and if you are still experiencing your symptoms then you should visit your Doctor who will be able to conduct an accurate blood test to determine if you are actually pregnant, or if there is another cause.
It does not mean that your pregnant. It could be that your period is changing. I say that you should wait till your 14 days late and then take the test because you have to be atleast 14 days late for anything to show up on a test. Or you can take a blood test if your really anxious to know. But I would wait til your 14 days late before taking a test. But if your 14 days late and having sore breats, nusea, and frequent urination and fatigue you are most likely pregnant.
It can be a possibility. If you had sex 7-10 days after your last period is another good indicator for pregnancy. That is the time you were ovulating. Absence of your period is the first sign of being pregnant, along with morning sickness, bloating, sore large breasts, and being moody. It is time now that you could check with a pregnancy test and see if you are pregnant. Keep in mind these are not 100%. You could have a blood test done and those are 98% accurate. If there is no way you could be pregnant give it another month and see what happens then. If you don't start then, then you do need to see a gyn asap.
I'm going through the same thing. I'm 9 days late for my period. I was having mild cramping last week but no blood. I took 5 hpts in the mornings and they all came out negative. Right now it's Wednesday and my doctor told me to wait until next monday to come in for a pregnancy blood test. She said it is common for people to be late because of stress or even completely miss a period all together. She ruled out a cyst because she said a cyst wouldn't make you late. It would just cause cramping. Hopefully we all get good news soon if you all haven't already :)
Every woman will to have different bodily signs to show if she is pregnant. The most common pregnancy sign is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. It is important to understand pregnancy symptoms because the symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. You may develop pregnancy symptoms as often as one week after conception. Some women will not develop pregnancy symptoms at all. Some common pregnancy symptoms are:
Spotting Caused by the implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall. It usually occurs 6-12 days after conception. This may include light bleeding and cramping. Other explanations for spotting could be your actual period is coming, changes in hormones, or changes in birth control pill. Missed or Different Period If you have missed your period, you could take an over the counter pregnancy test to help determine if you are pregnant or not Many women will still have a period even though they are pregnant Some women will continue menstruation through several months of their pregnancy Light bleeding during the first menstruation period after becoming pregnant is common Other explanations for missed or different periods are weight changes, hormonal problems, tension, birth control pills, and stress Tender Breasts Usually 1 to 2 weeks after conception, a woman may notice changes in their breasts Darkening of the areolas, the skin around the nipples, may also occur in the early stages of pregnancy Fatigue Feeling tired is a common symptom of early pregnancy Other explanations can include stress, depression, a cold or flu, or other illness Nausea or Vomiting Usually begin between 2 and 8 weeks after conception Some women will never deal with it and others start to get sick very early on in their pregnancy Backaches It is common to experience back pain throughout a pregnancy as your body adjusts Other explanations are stress, PMS, or physical strain Headaches The changing of hormones can cause headaches Other mental strains or eye problems can also be an explanation Frequent Urination Usually occurs around 6-8 weeks after conception as the uterus pushes on the bladder Other explanations are urinary tract infections, or possibly other medical problems Food Cravings You may crave a specific food, not necessarily pickles and ice cream May have an aversion to certain foods Other explanations are poor diet or lacking of a certain nutrient, also stress and depression
Pregnancy symptoms can be similar to other medical issues. If you think you are pregnant, you can first take an over the counter test. Pregnancy tests are very accurate and if the test says you are pregnant, you probably are. If the pregnancy test comes back negative and you still have not received your period after another 5 days, you should retake the test. It is possible you took the test too early before. If you still have not had your period, it is important to see your doctor; you may be pregnant or have another medical issue.
If you should suspect or discover you are pregnant, it is very important that you make an appointment to see your health care provider. Prenatal care is essential for both you and your baby's health. Today there are many options available if you have an unplanned pregnancy. You can visit Lifetime Adoption for more information on adoption, and to chat live.

Well being 9 days late is just very normal, even for women who have the most regular periods. The period cycle can vary from 28-52 days on average. However, since you are having unusual symptoms, which could be linked to a possible pregnancy. It would be wise if you can test for pregnancy. Take a home pregnancy test to confirm. Be very careful throughout the test and follow the instructions accurately for proper results.

You can test for pregnancy from the first day of a missed period however to get best results try waiting a week after the first day of a missed period if you are pregnant you need to discuss with your partner what to do next remembering that it is completely your choice whatever you decide to do ,but if you turn out not to be pregnant you need to visit the family planning clinic to discuss more suitable contraception for the future take care
