Late period although test saying BFN

I've been off the mini pill for about 3 months now and we're ttc #2. The first 2 months my cycle was exactly 28 days and period came bang on 4 weeks. I was due on Saturday and no sign of period so 4 days late now but I have done test this morning and it said BFN. I was so sure I was going to get a BFP as when I woke up I had the metallic taste in my mouth and been v stuffed up which I've read can be an early pregnancy symptom too, also been v hot.

I know its still early days but patience is not my strong point and I'm so disappointed. There is no chance the test is wrong is there?...clinging to hope....

TIA

Thanks LadyofTheFlowers - its nice to have hope!

I didn't want to do a test this morning but my DH really wanted me to and I only gave in as was pretty convinced it'd be positive - I quite like convincing myself I am pregnant and those BFN are just bringing me down!

If you guys are 4 days and a week late I would go see doc.
See what their test says?

Good to know I'm not alone - its so frustrating! I was so so sure this morning that it'd be positive.

I guess all we can do is wait for AF to come and keep testing every few days to see if anything shows up.

My ds was a happy accident and I'm so glad as I don't like this waiting and hoping!

I was using one of the superdrug early response tests so I don't hold out much hope for me - mind you if your dd didn't show till 9 weeks then maybe sometimes it just does that.

Here's hoping for us both!

This may sound mad and I am not trying to pump you up with hope iykwim but....

With DS3 who is now 10 months, I didn't know i was preg till I was 3 months. I had no period and I kept testing but they all came back neg, every month.

I was exhausted but that was all, i never had sickness or sore boobs or anything. I had just lost 3 stone so thought maybe I had dropped the weight too quickly which had messed my periods up.

I went to Doc, said I had missed 3 periods and he asked if I was preg I said no, of course a test was the first thing I tried and they were all neg, every month. He tested me and lo and behold it was positive.

He couldn't explain it, neither could MW. Preg was fine, baby was fine.

Hi Muchchocolate

I'm in exactly the same boat as you, I am a week late today! Did a test on sat/sun both BFN! I am always a 28 day cycle, so feel very confused! The day I was due to come on, I had very bad period cramps, and was wearing a ST, as convinced I was about to start. As the weeks gone on I've felt sick every morning, got very bad sinus time headaches, peeing loads but hardly drinking, constipation, gone off coffee and feeling exhausted all of the time!

I'm really not sure about the reliability of tests as when I waas prgnant with my daughter(now 16), didn't test positive till 9 weeks! Wheras with son (now 12)tested on day period was due!

Confused!
