I'm two days late for my period but I have short cycles of only 25 days. How late shall I leave it to test? I'm 99% sure I'm NOT pregnant but I stupidly allow myself hope after 52 failed cycles!

If you are 2 days late a first response test could pick it up. When did you ovulate ? Usually 11/12 days past ovulation you can get a line . Sometimes earlier but best waiting as long as you can. Good luck !

That's the thing. I don't know when I ovulated because my monitor just showed high all month and didn't give me a peak. I'm going to have to wait till after the weekend. I caved and POAS but it was BFN. Issue is though it was a supermarket rest and not an early response. Plus I wee every hour or so which means it's not that built up.

Just realised I took a photo. This was the 22nd July. My monitor was reading high but no peak yet an IC seemed positive... so potentially 11/12dpo today

On the 16th July I had Left side lower Abdominal cramps, mild but with light spotting that lasted half a day, I thought it could be implantation, but My Period wasn't due until yesterday 3rd August.

In the weeks leading up to my period date I was feeling abnormally hungry with a few light cramps that passed When I ate something.

4 days before my period was due, so last week, not having had any of my usual pre period symptoms such as bad cramps, no bloating or putting on weight, which is a given before my period, I decided to take the pink early detection test. It was negative.

Yesterday & still today, I have been having a very light pink blood when i wipe, which Is slightly more after passing water, yet I feel perfectly fine, still no period type cramps.

I have Had IVF in the past which hasn't worked, but seemed to trigger something to happen naturally, as 2 years ago and again only 9 months ago I to our shock, conceived naturally but lost them, so I know what an MC is like.

I feel stupid for taking The test early as it was negative, but am still convinced I could be pregnant as I said, although my period was due yestersay & I have light Spotting, I don't have any of my usual period symptoms and believe me when I say my periods are usually horrendous (heavy with clots- sorry tmi)

What does anybody think and when would you suggest i take another test?

I am clued up after years of trying when something is different with my body & I suspect pregnancy, but all be it via IVF or now naturally, each time is slightly different and I have never suspected implementation before with either of my last 2 natural conceptions, as i only susspected after missing my periods.

Any advice much appreciated. TIA
