Hi I have 4 kids, 10,5,3,2. My period was due over a week ago, I have done 4 tests, 2 tesco ones, 2 boots ones. All have come up negative, my periods are a nightmare!!! Heavy, painful, and they make me unbelievably tired. I have horrific hormones the week before, when I'm on then when I'm off, I am a woman possessed for 3 weeks of the month! But nothing I am still calm as I would normally be, I've got slight backache, but that's it. I have never ever missed a period without being pregnant and all my boys test came up within the week of me missing it. Could I be pregnant with a false neg? Please help

Have you been ill, stressed or taken any new medication in the last month? I'm normally fairly regular but my period was two weeks later after a nasty flu and chest infection - I'm not sure if it was the illness or the antibiotics that did it though. How old are you? I've seen a few women on here say that they'd been regular all of their lives but started randomly missing the occasional period in their late 30s/early 40s.

I was 8 days late last month for no reason at all and I've never been late before. Weirdly this month has started and only been 21 days since my last period

Well that's a relief. As QueenStromba has found, illness can sometimes delay ovulation, which means a later period. Positive stress (a wedding, a new job, or a holiday) can have the same effect.

Your periods do sound like a nightmare though. What does the doctor say? Have you ever used hormonal contraception? Mirena or something might work for you..

Sorry for the late reply, I don't like the idea of the coil, or the implant. I'm kinda scared to have the injection. I was on the pill between kids but it never changed anything. It's not just the hormones but the pain as well, the nausea, backache, hips seizing, and the aching like I have flu. I'm only 29 but I want it all taken out as soon as really.
