What's going on?!

So I'm three days late for AF and this is really unusual for me, but what's even more unusual is I have no symptoms of PMS or period coming.
I have no cramps, no breast pain except the odd stabbing pain and slight itch. I'm quite bloated but that's all.
I feel in a 'good mood', not how I normally am in the lead up to a period! 🤔 it's very odd.
I've taken two tests, a testing strip from amazon and a Boots own test pack of two. But I've saved one for later in the week. I could see a very faint line on Saturday but then on Sunday when I took the Boots test there was nothing.
I'm thinking of buying a digital so I know once and for all.
What are the reasons for a missed period, because I've only ever had this once before in my life and that was accompanied by a feeling of it arriving soon. Unlike this month when there's nothing.
Could it be an ovarian cyst? Or maybe a hormone imbalance? It's really frustrating because my periods are always so regular it made tracking O and symptoms much easier as I've been ovulating on day 14/15 and having a period on day 27-29. But a build up of symptoms from a week before that...I feel so lost 😔

It could just be you didn't ovulate this month. Pretty common to miss the odd month

Have you been temping to confirm ovulation?

SpongeCake23 · 05/02/2018 08:43

@NimbleKnitter No tracking but I always get EWCM and pain in one side around the same time and I had it around day 13/14 as usual. It's always been correct in the past as my period comes two weeks later on the dot.
I've never missed one like this before in all the years I've been having periods. I just hope I am pregnant and it's not showing up on the tests yet. Fingers crossed.

Sounds like it's worth getting a frer and checking.

Good luck x

This happened to me last year. Definitely ovulated, no tww symptoms, af was 5 days late. Up until then my periods had always been regular. I felt really good, nothing like how I normally feel pre-af. Then it just started out of nowhere. Sometimes I don’t think there’s any real explanation for it, there wasn’t for mine

SpongeCake23 · 05/02/2018 09:24

@Bubblegum89 Oh really? Well that might be the case for me then, or I may be pregnant and just not showing up on tests yet...
I really hope it's the latter!

As Bubblegum said, sometimes you can just miss a period for no apparent reason! I had this when ttc my first and Dr said they would only be worried if I missed 2 as 1 is pretty common.

You might be pregnant and it not showing up on test yet (I hope so!!!) but just wanted to reassure you that even if this isn’t the case, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something wrong x
