I've not had any symptoms that I can think of, had a little cramping but nothing major. My cycles have been between 24 and 26 days for the last four months. Today is cycle day 27 and still no period. Did a test at dinner time and was negative. Driving myself crazy!!!!

Use your first wee of the day. Test again or wait it out. Not much else you can do, unfortunately. I been there, I know it's tough...

You sound exactly like me 5 months, cycles between 23 and 26 days I'm on 27 now and some slight bloating and an uncomfortable feeling but nothing else, I also spot a couple days before I'm on.
Haven't done a test but out of curiosity I took a opk and it came back positive, wish I hadn't because it's probably just a LH surge.
Fingers crossed for both of us this weekend!

Tested again first wee this morning and still negative :-(

I've been there too - sadly now discovered my periods range from 24-29 days! Fingers crossed yours is a late bfp but try not to get your hopes up too much - months I've been hopeful are so much worse when AF arrives!

I get my hopes up every month it's bloody horrible! X

I try now to think of a positive every month I'm not pregnant - for example, now I can be a bridesmaid at friends wedding etc. Helps a little - this month when period comes I get to have tests so hopefully moving in the right direction!!

Good luck with your tests! I'm waiting on the results of mine x
