Period 7 days late but negative first response test

35 replies

Starlight31 · 07/02/2022 13:39

Hi my periods are normally regular and about 26 to 28 days. My period is about 7 days late and feeling tired and noticed quite sudden watery discharge, assumed was period but no wasn't.

I did a first response early detection today and it's negative, does this mean I'm definitely not pregnant ?

Has anyone else tested negative on an early detection test 7 days late and turned out to be pregnant ?

@TheUniqueMember so sorry to hear about this. I know what this feels like. I had 3 miscarriages in a row (all early around 6 weeks) until this pregnancy which surprisingly has stuck. I think miscarriages are way more common than people let on, no one seems to talk about it so you feel like it's just you. I think it's just a case of catching a good egg one month. Wishing you luck next time

I had so many symptoms that can up all at once but a lot of them can be related to your period/pms so it's difficult to tell but I just felt pregnant...

•Over-emotional
•Put off by any food
•Tiredness
•Bloating
•Cramping
•Lower back pain
•Frequent headaches
•Lots of wet discharge
•Nauseous in mouth feeling/metallic taste
•Acne (which I haven't gotten in ages with my periods - usually spot prone but it's been a while)

It all hit me at once - and the only time I've missed my period is when I was pregnant with my first.

I tested negative x2 before I got my positive. Unfortunately, it hasn't lasted long and I've had a loss. Currently experiencing excruciating cramps and heavy bleeding with negative tests now :(

Btw for testing and not wasting lots of money id recommend getting a box of wondflo off Amazon. They're about 6 quid for a box of 20 and they have always picked up my pregnancies really early eg 9 days PO. Id say these are better than the first response early result tests and they also always pick up before the digitals too

Still nothing for me, no positive and no sign of AF

AD1986 · 08/08/2024 16:31

@Carportforme I'd be interested too. I'm 2 day late (have pms) but did a test yday and it was stark white. :(

I'm 12 days late and got a bfp!!

Hi and sorry to butt in. Just wondering has you previously tested negative or was 12 days late for AF the first time. Did you have any symptoms beforehand? Thank you.

TheUniqueMember · 06/08/2024 18:53

Congratulations ♥️

I'm so sorry about your miscarriages!!! I should've read that before I insensitivity put that previous post

@Starlight31 awww I'm sorry about the miscarriages, I know too well how that can feel. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you for responding, its calmed my frantic mind slightly. Hopefully I'm just having a weird cycle too. I did have acpunture few days before I was due and have been fairly stressed!

@AD1986 I’m 40 so would have been 38 then. Since that post in the last year when ttc I’ve got pregnant 3 times, all v easily but all miscarried alas but all tests by recurrent miscarriage clinic normal and told just to carry on trying. Anyway I’m not menopausal, get pregnant v easily and still have regular 26 day cycles. Hope that vaguely gives you some reassurance!

@AD1986 it was just a random long cycle! I’d been quite stressed I guess so maybe it was that . It was fine afterwards and back to normal cycle lengths . Deffo not menopause!

@Starlight31 and @maria156 how did your cycles go? I'm in the same boat and hoping its not menopause as we're ttc xx

Sunshine1123 · 11/09/2022 20:53

Did you ever get your period?

Bundaberg84 · 25/02/2022 15:08

9 days is a lot... maybe you are experiencing an anovulatory cycle, and even though your body was gearing up for ovulation it didn't happen? I would wait maybe a week more and then ring up the GP to ask for advice xx

Cookie3425 · 24/02/2022 21:45

@Bundaberg84 hey I got the peak on 31/01/22
Now 9 days late and tested again and still negative I’m normally very regular and have never been late before any advice would help? Should I wait till 14 late for af ? And if still negative then make a doctors appointment?

Bundaberg84 · 24/02/2022 08:17

@Cookie3425 AF would be Aunt Flo, so your period :) opk are the strips you're using, that's great! When did you get the peak?

Cookie3425 · 23/02/2022 17:42

@Bundaberg84 thanks for your comment. I’m new to this so not sure on all the termanology haha such af and opk haha.

I do the Premom app which I also do test strips with and add them on to it if that’s what you mean ?

Thanks again.

Period 7 days late but negative first response test
Bundaberg84 · 23/02/2022 16:42

@Cookie3425 the problem with tracking periods with an app is that you don't know if and when you ovulated that cycle. Only if you use opk or do bbt you will know for sure if you're actually late or not.
I usually track my ovulation and eventually stopped because I'm regular. But then, of course, last cycle I ovulated late and didn't know, so I ended up being 4 days late and was convinced to be pregnant. Unfortunately I wasn't.
Did you test again in the meantime? There's not much you can do unfortunately but wait and test every couple of days. Good luck to you! I hope this is your cycle!

MiaTTC2 · 23/02/2022 08:53

@maria156 I'm only two days late, nauseous and dizzy still, but I tested this morning and it was negative. I thought I should give up and just wait for AF to arrive, but now I'm reading your post and I'm wondering if it's possible. This didn't happen with my first, though. I got a positive at 3 days late.

Cookie3425 · 22/02/2022 23:54

@maria156 thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

I’m sorry your AF arrived wishing you baby dust for future tries.

On day 8 now still not sign of anything did another test this morning just incase still negative, so decided to wait a week more before testing again to see if AF comes or if I’m pregnant.

Thanks for the advice
