Sorry for the long post!
I've always had an irregular cycle but the last 2 years they've only ever been up to 5 days late, now I'm 13 days late.
I took a few tesco tests about 5 and 7 days late they were negative, then took first response every second day since and negative ,one had a slight line but I dont no if it was an indent line.
I have nearly every symptom tension headaches,cramps every single day, so sick the last few days, got a nose bleed(which I've never had before),absolutely drained everyday have been going to bed so early struggling to keep my eyes open and im not working due to covid so I'm not doing anything to make me tired😅very vivid dreams, watery discharge which then went dry and slightly yellowish on underwear and then got thrush.
Constantly feel like my period is about to start and everytime I run to the toilet nothing is there.
Do I just rule it out as a skipped period or would I wait another few days?

Hi, I am in slightly similar circumstances. My cycle is always 28-31 days. This cycle is 6 days late now. I'm on day 32 but this is an early month cycle wise. I have no symptoms what so ever. I wasn't able to track my ovulation last month due to work commitments but I'm starting to worry why so late too.

Only thing I'm thinking of is that I had my covid vaccine during this cycle? Could this apply to you?

I am also confused as to when to start opks again. Do I wait for AF to show up or just start testing when I normally would.

Are you recovering from covid?
I'm on 6 weeks recovering from covid and it's played havoc with my cycle I was at 41 days before it finally arrived!
It does seem to do crazy stuff to periods for a bit.

@Loops01 have you been stressed or anything that could be delaying it?
I also took time off from tracking ovulation so I'm the same as you i don't know when I could have ovulated !
yes I've also heard the vaccine has delayed many people's cycles but I haven't had my vaccine yet, I did have a smear test this 2 weeks ago but surely that wouldn't delay af?
If af hasn't shown up in another week I'd start the opks again.
Ugh so annoying i wish af would just arrive now !!

Thanks, just put a post on to see if others had a covid vaccine delay! I have not been as stressed as what I was a few months ago. If anything I've been able to relax a bit more! Yeah I wouldn't have thought a smear would delay it, if anything it's more common to bring it on. I did read on here somewhere that someone was 14 days late and finally got lines on tests so maybe keep testing if you had a line?
