Confused... 6/7 days late, negative tests

[belle1118]

We had our first time of TTC in December and my period was due on 3rd Jan. It still isn't here, but I've had 3 negative tests.

Could it be missed due to stress instead? :( I feel like I haven't been more stressed than normal, and I'm usually like clockwork so I was really hoping we'd been super lucky - I'm never this late! But I don't want to get my hopes up.

I've been bloated and crampy but that's obviously normal for my period anyway. I've had more headaches, but no sore boobs (I keep thinking they feel a bit heavier but I think it's just wishful thinking/me going crazy!)

Anyone else had the same? If I ovulated late, would it take a while even after a missed period for the Hgc to be high enough?

Hi!
It is possible your HCG levels may not be there yet, are your tests definitely negative, not even a faint line?

I will say though it is the way of our bodies/minds that as soon as we TTC periods can often go a bit awry. I was really regular for my whole life and as soon as TTC it went a bit bonkers. 4 months in though and I got my BFP!

@Thekindyoufindinasecondhand ahh wow 4 months in is amazing. Crossing my fingers its just too low HCG. It was a digital test, so it was def negative. The waiting is so frustrating isn't it!
