Period 3 days late but negative test - should I bother testing again?

[DayToNightBarbie]

Hiya, would be grateful for any advice!

My period was due on sunday. I took a test on monday and then yesterday morning, first thing - both negative. The tests I used were Tesco ones. In the instructions, it said that if you get a negative test after your period is due, you're very unlikely to be pregnant.

Thing is, I'm three days late now and I'm never late. But wonder if it's utterly pointless to spend any more money on a test if the negative result is as definite as it sounds like it is (from the advice in the leaflet). Has anyone had a positive result after a negative result from a test taken after period was due??

I'm desperately hoping so

Hello everyone, so I am trying for our first baby, my period was due 3 days ago (Thursday) and nothing, I've tested twice but negative.

I've got really bad cramps and my nipples are sore.

Is this signs of pregnancy or period or unknown.

Thanks in advance xx

However I still have came on and done 3 test throughout the week and they all say negative can anybody give me their input of what I should do I have no kids so have no idea of what I should be expected thank you

[Binky345]

Hey, I would really like some advice if you please could ☺️ , so I’ve not come on my period yet, 3 days late haven’t had any major symptoms of pregnancy only a few headaches and all of sudden pelvic pressure, I don’t want to take a test in case it’s to early to test, any advice would help a lot ☺️😫

Still a no show for any signs of the time of the month !
Haven't done another test, just gonna wait it out?

[Bar11]

I was on the pill, recently got married, within a couple of months had the 'are you ready to start' chat and agreed we were.
Stopped taking the pill this year, had my break through bleed 3/02 for 2 days, lots of pain, then that's been it?
My tracker shows I should of started my period yesterday, but nothing?
Took a test this morning, just thinking could it have happened and it was negative.
Feel so much regret that I hadn't stopped taking the pill months ago to be ready to start trying, I know I can't change time and that my bodies going to take a few months to get into a routine but can't help thinking I may not be all working in the ovarie/hormone dept :(
Thank for hearing my vent on the subject
I'm new to all this but felt someone may understand?

We took around 6 months to conceive our daughter and at the time it felt like the longest 6 months of my life. It put a massive strain on my marriage and ironically the month I conceived was the month my husband and I were at breaking point with each other. My daughter is now three and I've been off the pill since April. I'm now approaching cycle 11 of trying and last month (and possibly this month) my period has been different. I average a 31 day cycle and have chartered my bbt since Jan as an attempt to try something new. It seems I'm ovulating around day 18/19. I'm now on day 33 of my cycle and have 2 separate incidents of spotting since the early hours of day 32. I've also had loose stools for a week. My bbt has remained above the cover line. Usually my period starts and the flood gates open as such for at least 4days. The last month my bleeding lasted 3 days if I was lucky and it started off as spotting with one day of flown then it stopped again. Why is my period not coming to much? Is this affecting my chances? I apologise for the long post if I'm honest I'm at my wits end with trying especially as so many mums I met first time are onto their second with apparent issues.

I am 3 days late a lot of symptoms negative test should I retest in a few days

[IG1111]

This is an old thread but thought I’d reply and see if we can all help each other through. Like everyone here it seems I have a very regular cycle (27/28days). Period 4 days late, according to ovulation kits I’m 15dpo and I’ve had intermittent cramps for 5 days now. Of course I’ve been testing daily with all sorts of tests and all BFN. I know this likely isn’t my month but I’m going to keep believing it’s possible until AF arrives 😭😭😭😭😭

Hello,
I've never been on one of these before but I feel like the worry is driving me insane. I'm almost 23. Never had a baby before or been pregnant to my knowledge but lately I've (my body) just been feeling off.. today is day 3 of my period and I took a test and it was a negative. Still absolutely no sign of my period and i got off bc in June, had my gallbladder removed in july and have been having regular periods for the past year. The paranoia is what's really getting me, i almost feel sad that it wasnt positive..

Hi everyone, I know this is a really old thread so not sure if anyone is still reading it...

I'm in a similar situation to this. We're TTC, on cycle #2. My periods were like clockwork, 27 day cycles. AF is now 3 days late, and I've had 3 BFNs. Each was as clear as day! I've also been monitoring my BBT, which has dropped in the last 2 days. However I'm not great at taking my temp at same time every morning, so not sure how reliable that info is.

I didn't have usual PMT signs (which tend to also be like clockwork). I also had some really intense cramps last weekend - about 6 days before AF due. Not sure when I ovulated - I bought tests too late to check, I think!? Still learning about all this business.

In short, I am trying to convince myself to expect AF any minute (with lots of obsessive trips to the loo to check!). But I can't help but have a tiny bit of hope. I know that's silly. Just needed to share. If anyone is still reading this, any information about your experiences would be great. :)

Hi I'm new to this, I'm 3 days late which I never am, I've already experienced several obvious signs recentlysuch as feeling queasy, being sick, headaches, cramps, swollen and bloated stomach, tiredness etc. I've done a few cheapie tests and a clear blue digital all of which negative, will try again in a week, just want to know!! Any advice...

[sunshinemad]

Hi ladies!
Have just read through this entire thread and decided to join as I am in exactly th same boat!
Period is as regular as clockwork until now im 3days late. Tests say negative though. Driving me crazy not knowing.
Came off pill at end of 2014 after over 8years on it constant. Periods have been regular no problems on it and coming off pill. Until now.
No sign whatsoever of af but also no pregnancy symptoms.
Going to try and wait and it hasnt come by Wednesday which would be a week late I'll test again. Although the urge to test everyday is overwhelming!
Trying not to get my hopes up as this is first time ttc!
Fingers crossed to everyone ttc and happy thoughts to all you on here years ago!
?

[Helenlouise89]

Hi everyone, looking for some advice...
I have very regular periods, I always come on on a Thursday morning! However this month it's now Sunday and no sign! I've taken 2 tesco home tests - one yesterday morning and one this morning. Both negative. I'm so confused because I always come on on time but when I had my other two children I tested positive very early on. Is it worth going to the doctors yet? Or will they say I'm being impatient???
Really appreciate any advice or similar stories!
Thanks ladies

Hi Babydustcomeon, sorry to hear about your mis carriage and fingers crossed you're pregnant again and go on to have a healthy baby. I guess you'll have to hold on and see what happens ? I didn't realise up to now that some people test to early and it won't show for some time , I've still had no af.. Convinced I'm pregnant but not testing again until the weekend

[Babydustcomeon]

Hi all I am also in the same situation 3 days late no af, no breast tenderness or any pregnancy symptoms had a pg test this afternoon using clear blue and got a BFN im just wondering if i tested the wrong time instead of the first early
morning urine.....or tested too early...huh! im so curious to know whats going on.....i really want a baby since I had a micarriage in Jan this yr at 11 weeks.

Hi Nic14, I'm in a similar situation.. Periods are pretty much bang on date but this time I'm 4-5 days late. Usually have a 27/28 day cycle. I've done two tests yesterday and day before but both negative, have been off the pill and trying for 2 months now. First time round it took us 7/8 months to conceive. No idea what's going on :( my partner says to wait another week to do a test. Just feeling impatient and want to know either way :( anyone have any thoughts? Advice?

[Nic14]

Hi girls. In the same boat as a few of you. I am 3 days late and am never late for AF. My cycles are always 28/29. Had a neg first response test this afternoon but I took it about 4.30. This morn I had a peachy coloured discharge when I wee'd and I thought I would come on but I didn't . My partner says I am not pregnant as I tested negative but I think I am still in with a chance. What u think? I am desperate for a baby. We are both in mid 30's and been trying for a year and half now

[mammytotwo]

Also im a little unsure of most 'phrases' AF TCT BFN so until I catch up can your repliescbe in full lol sorrycto be a pain in the butt xx

[mammytotwo]

Im in exactly the same boat atm, getting very frustrated as im desperate to be pregnant. If I am, im really only at most 2 weeks but I have done at least 2 tests already. Doctors have said to wait.....I'm not at all patient. I'm ill thinking ive worked my dates out wrong. Any advice is truly grateful. Tia :D

[Vikki1409]

Also had sore boobs for over a week started with sore nipples now it's whole breats nipples ok now no sign of AF
