Period 5 days late, negative test

[kirsty0028]

Hey all, TTC baby #1 and it's my first month trying. We started to stop not trying and planning to take it more serious next month

But now I am 5 days late for my period 🤔 I tested yesterday and it was negative but only on an internet cheapie I'm a newbie so a bit clueless. Do you think there is no hope or is it possible?

Has anybody ever experienced this and ended with a BFP? ❤️ when do people normally get their bfp am I just deluded to think I may be pregnant?

I'm having very very light cramps they're barely there but I keep noticing them they come and go. Normally I only cramp on day one of my period and it would be heavier cramping than this . No other signs.

Thanks so much girls

Are you tracking ovulation and what test did you use?

You may have ovulated late and some tests are more sensitive than others. I grabbed a cheapy from Wilkos (anything pink dye is best) and I got a BFP then confirmed with a digital blue.

Thanks for your reply!

I didn't track ovulation this month as it was the first month we decided we would try but not try if you get me and next month I Will pay better attention to ovulation etc.

The tests I used were just cheap internet strips but I was thinking anything would work as I'm late. Do you think if I ovulated late that could be what's happening and it wouldn't yet show up on these? 🤞 I didn't test today as I just feel that the negative was soooo negative yesterday. I may not even test again tomorrow I may give it a few days. Ugh it sucks I just wanna get on I'm with it if I'm not actually pregnant so I can try properly next month 🤦🏼‍♀️

Absolutely! If you've ovulated late then there's still a chance considering you're 5 days late.

Try and get a First Response test as they're very good and test again in a few days. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Updating this to say that I found out I was pregnant two days later ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

Congratulations!

Yay! So pleased for you. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy c

Thank you so much. I am five weeks and taking it one day at a time. Finding it a little hard to relax and not worry unnecessarily. Does any body have any tips on how to do this. I just really am wanting it all to go well ❤️

Take a deep breath, warm baths and lots of chocolate

Aw wow congratulations! Did you work out how many days post ovulation you were when you got your positive? Were your periods regular beforehand?
First month aswell ! Amazing Xxx
