Am I taking the pregnancy tests too early?

The first day of my last period was the 13th of October and I haven't had a period since then.

We stopped using condoms on the 9th of November. Just before my period was due but my period never came.

I have taken two pregnancy tests one on the 18th of November and one on the 23rd of November but both said negative.

It is really unusual for me to miss a period. Could I still be pregnant but just taking the tests too early? Only symptoms are feeling bloated and lower back pain.

First day of my last period was October 23rd.
took a test around the 20th and got a BFP Smile
I'm like clockwork every month much like yourself. I'd go get tested at a docs.

Don't waste the docs time! They won't be able to tell you anything more than a pregnancy test.

Either you ovulated rediculously late (9th onwards) and it's too early to test, or you've skipped a period which is something that does happen more than you'd think. Have you flown long haul recently? I am very very regular, for 25 yrs bang on 28 days every month and suddenly when I was about 28 perfectly skipped a period. Just once, no explanation.

Thanks both. I haven't been on holiday since the summer and yes it would mean I was ovulating very late, which is odd! I'll probably give it another month before going to the docs and do another home test in week or so. Very frustrating as I would just to know either way :)
