5 days late and not pregnant

I know there are lots of feeds about this subject but I'm looking for what else it could be. I've looked online but it can be overwhelming. We are trying for a baby so I'm hoping nothing is wrong but I just wondered if anyone else had been in this situation? I know I ovulated as I bleed a little on my 14th day and I've always come on, on the 28th day so this is all new to me.

TIA

Stress? Every one is different but to me 5 days late means nothing. But if your like clockwork could be stress, possibly diet?

@Mama090319 @Ladybird345 I hope you both get answers soon. I've opted not to do a test every day as I would go mad or be upset every day. I find it easier to ignore it all and wait.

@peacheswife @Ladybird345 hopefully we’ll all get some answers soon! I take a cheap test every morning but like ladybird, I’m not really expecting it to be anything at this point because I’m so late. I just want some answers Envy

Yeah I feel myself going slowly insane. I don't have much will power though and do a cheap strip pregnancy test each morning to see what it shows. I even had a line the other day but then nothing since so that was helpful 🙄 I think it's safe to say I'm not pregnant as I'm sure a test would be clearly positive by now but you never know lol.
Maybe you should try another test to see what it shows?
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, it could possibly have something to do with your cycle but then it's hard to say if your periods returned as normal?

@Mama090319 that's what is annoying me the waiting. I'd be ok if it was AF as I'd know and could start trying again but the hanging around is driving me mad 😂 fingers crossed you get an answer soon x

@Ladybird345 it's madness that your body can play these games 😂 I had a miscarriage in February but everything went back to normal straight away so it could have something to do with that but seems unlikely from what I was told by the miscarriage awareness people. Hopefully our body's stop misbehaving and we get some sort of normality back. Thank you

Hello, I'm three weeks late now and TTC but breastfeeding still so mine could have an explanation. Still bloody annoying! I think most doctors won't do anything until two or three cycles are missed but definitely worth speaking to them as they might do a blood test if you request one? I've done a lot of googling and some ladies don't get their BFPs until days/weeks after their missed period so you aren't out until AF shows. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I have an 11 month old DD who we tried desperately and for a long time for. I was waiting to have a coil fitted but then COVID hit. We’d be happy with a BFP but if my period arrived that would be fine too. It’s all the uncertainty I can’t handle Confused Hopefully it was just a late implantation for you and a BFP is on the way!

@Mama090319 I'm going for my food shop today so I'm going to buy another test as I don't have them in the house. I read on the NHS website that after two negative tests and a missed period contact your GP so that's what I was going to do. Are you trying for a baby or just missed a period? It does seem odd to be regular from age 13 and then nothing randomly at 29.

@peacheswife I’d maybe take another test and if still no answer wait a while and then contact your GP? I’m going to call mine at the end of the week but if other posters are correct, they won’t see it as a big deal until you’ve missed 2 or 3 periods. Seems very odd to me who has always been regular!

@Mama090319 I took a test on day 2 but it was negative. I have no normal for me period like symptoms which is odd. I've seen it's normal to not have a period sometimes but knowing I ovulated makes it strange. I've just been worried it was something medical.

Hi @peacheswife I’m currently 9 days late with no sign and lots of BFN’s. From posters on here and google it seems that it isn’t unusual to skip a period or for it to be late. Have you taken any tests?
