My cycle is regular and normally 32 days according to my tracking app. I am currently 4 days late and have been feeling a little nauseous all week. Thursday night I threw up and apart from the nausea felt fine and felt ok Friday morning apart from still a bit nauseous. I have also been a bit tired and snappy recently and strangely really burpy. I did a pregnancy test this morning and pretty sure it was negative, it was a cheapish one, don't know how much difference that makes, £3.50 for 2 from sainsburys.

If you're 4 days late, it would show quite clearly on a test. Maybe you ovulated later than you thought. Also it would be the HCG making you throw up, which again would show on a test. That said you do occasionally hear of people not getting a positive on a HPT until 9 weeks pregnant and having to have it confirmed by bloods instead; however I think that would be unfortunately clutching at straws for most people. Bit like when you've had your period and still not convinced you aren't pregnant, thinking you may be one of those people who get their periods during pregnancy.

Good luck and I hope you get answers soon. The waiting is a killer!

I had a week of false negatives with DD1. I was taking Clomid and I was waiting to take another cycle and so waiting on my period. It took almost 10 days for a positive to show on the pg test.

I had a very strong instinct I was pregnant though.

Good luck OP

Thanks for your replies. I'm going to wait till Friday and do another test, by then it will have been over 40 days since the start of my last period. We aren't particularly trying at the moment I only really have the app so I know when to expect my periods so I don't think it's me clutching at straws. Saying that we'd be happy if I was pregnant. I just don't feel right, I still feel nauseous and I don't know how to describe the feeling in my tummy, it's almost crampy but not and not like period cramps but I have today also got a cold so maybe I'm just a bit ill
