Confused and embarrassed

Hi all!

I am feeling a little confused, embarrassed and I don't really know where else to talk to!

I am currently 3 weeks late, my normal cycle is 33 days and normally I'm two days late max! I have had cramps like my period is gonna come, back ache and a bit nauseous.

We got all excited as been trying for about a year.
I did a pregnancy test 2 Days after my period was due and it was negative and I've done a few since all negative.
I decided to speak to the doctors. I phoned for an appointment and and a doctor rang me back within a few hours. I explained everything to her and she laughed and said if your trying then you are obviously pregnant just keep testing!
I was quite taken a back and I understand the pressures they are under at the moment and she said I wouldn't be able to go to surgery as it just isn't the safest thing to do. I was quite shocked but I'm also feeling very low and I don't want to keep testing and face negative after negative.
There is no explanation for why my period is late and we did get quite excited but now we are both feeling very deflated
Has anyone had any experience of a pregnancy not showing on a pregnancy test by now?
Or reasons why i might be late?

Thanks for reading!

She's right, you need to just wait until you get a positive or a period. Why are you looking for any medical intervention at this point, when none is required

To be fair this is correct. If you miss a second one and are still not pregnant they will look into it, I was sent to a consultant, and they made sure I was absolutely not pregnant. Then as said they wanted to give me fertility drugs and the day I was to collect the prescription was the day I found out I was pregant.

It does happen unfortunately where your periods just stop.

Oh no OP. Sorry but your GP has given you poor advice.

You may well NOT be pregnant I’ve been 5 weeks late before and not pregnant and worrying makes it worse.

You don’t usually keep doing multiple tests after been 3 weeks late.

I'm sure you feel much better for getting an answer, one way or the other. Good luck for this month!
