Period 5 days late but negative test?

Hello

Currently ttc baby number 2. I am NEVER late. I always have a 32 day cycle.

Im now 5 days late. I dont feel like im due on at all. No cramping, sore boobs, nothing!

I ve been testing every morning since my period was due with a cheapie test (10 tests for £4) and all negative.

Is it worth buying a better brand or are all tests the same?

Any idea as to why there is no sign of my period?

Was there anything wrong in the end? (Dont mean to be nosey!)

I'd wait a few days and test again. Then maybe see your GP- I had a period that was over 2 weeks late once, they did a blood test to check as it was making me very anxious.

The chances of me being pregnant are zero then if they have not picked up on it?

No idea what is going on with my body then as no period has arrived!

Hmmm, they are quite sensitive.

These ones are 10mlU so even more sensitive:

How sensitive are the cheapies?
