How late before you worry...?

For your period...?

Was due on over the weekend, thought it was annoying timing because i was going to be seeing dp (LDR, seem to have had about 1000 periods since we gor together 6 months ago...😒) so was glad when it never showed up.

No on day 31 of a normally 28/29 day cycle, longest its been in the last 6 months is 30 days.

I have a copper coil so i would have thought the chances of falling pregnant are pretty slim?

How long would you leave it before getting concerned?

I'd just poas to put my mind at rest.

I’d probably pick up a cheap test to put my mind at rest. No point worrying when you can just POAS and find out one way or another:

I find the more I worry the later it is! Generally if I put I nice pair of underwear on it arrives ha. If you’re worried I’d do a test just to put your mind at rest.

Interested in this thread?

Another vote for doing a test so, if you're not, you can stop thinking about it. Normally I'd wait til 7 days overdue, personally, but at this time of year it might be useful to know ASAP in case you want to start avoiding alcohol.

I was kind of hoping that it would force it to start by posting this, but no such luck...

If i were to POAS would it need to be morning pee?

I POAS if it is about 3 days late. Its not late very often so I start to get paranoid if it doesnt show up in a timely manner. Its probably just late but the only way you will know for sure is to test.

Also no, you can usually test with any wee on the day of a missed period.
