8 days late and negative tests

I’m 8 days late on my period and have taken 2 tests, both of which are negative. They were the cheap 99p pack of 3 tests which worked for my first pregnancy which to be honest I can’t remember how late I was when they showed positive. My period the past while has been quite irregular but it’s normally 4/5 days late at a push. Just wondering has anyone been 8 days late and had negative tests but been pregnant? I’ve no signs either, normally if I’m due my period my boobs feel like they’ve done a round in a boxing ring lol so tender and sore but they’re not sore at all, that’s the sure sign I can always tell my period is on route. I got tested last year for PCOS and everything came back ok. My partner and I aren’t exactly trying but aren’t preventing, a case of if it happens it happens. How long should I wait before testing again? And what tests are reccomended? My period has never been this late. Thanks mums xx

I went through exactly this last week. 9 days late, negative tests and none of my usual period symptoms! I was hopeful that I was one of those that didn't show on tests til later on but at Day 9 my period finally came. I told myself I would test again at day 12/13 if it still hadn't arrived

Thanks for your reply I took one tonight and nothing came up within 30 seconds and I left it sitting and went to the toilet 10/15 mins later and there was a positive test line. ran up to Tesco and got a clear blue digital and it came up not pregnant 😰 so annoying. Hope you get your positive soon!! Xx

With this pregnancy, I didn't get my bfp until 10 days after af was due. Fx for you x

Hi @Mrsmummy90 congrats to you! Did you have negatives beforehand? Just don’t know whether to pay any heed to the one with the results I read after 10/15 mins then to do a clear blue digi and get not pregnant. Xx

Yes, I was continuously getting BFNs.
Personally, I would never trust a test outside the time frame given.
