So my periods usually last for 7 days or more and are heavy all of the time with lots of clotting. My cycles are quite long, around 34 days. This month i was 5 days late. I woke up, went to the toilet and wiped. There was a reasonable amount of blood in one wipe. I put a tampon in and went to work. Through the day i changed it however was shocked at how light i was as this never happens. There was literally nothing!! The next morning i changed my night tampon and it was clear.. My period had stopped and i haven’t had anything since (5 days). I took a pregnancy test yesterday and got BFN.. What does this sound like? Can it take time for pregnancy tests to show positive? Any help is appreciated ! Thanks!

Watching with interest as v similar happened to me although I'm now what would be 18 days Kate but still getting negatives!

Did you take the pregnancy test in the morning? I've always been told the first wee of the day is the best and other times can give false negatives

@tranquilitybashotel - It is so odd.. Its never happened before so feeling pretty positive. It would be my first time so I am completely unsure. I have read it can take weeks for a test to show positive, but then It confuses me that clear blue advertise that its 99% effective up to 5 days before period due date!!

@winemumm - yes it was around 6:30am. What is even more confusing is my periods usually last at least 7 days and always so heavy. This was so light im not even sure if I can call it a period!!
