How late can a period be for no reason at all

[Suprima]

Miscarried my baby in May. Have been ‘trying’ as soon as my body was able to have sex again. After my body passed all of the tissue, I was back to bang on 28 day cycles. I have always been regular, my period coming exactly when my tracker says it will.

For the first time I find myself on CD30, my period having being due yesterday. I haven’t POAS because to me, lines don’t equal a baby so there is no point in seeing lines earlier.

I’m so scared of a negative but I know it’s probably more than likely. I have felt off and twingy, much like my last ill-fated pregnancy but I don’t know what’s real and what’s symptom spotting.

Periods can obviously be late- but how long should I leave it before I test? What’s an abnormal lateness?

I just can’t bring myself to POAS right now unless there’s a chance I’ll be pregnant.

Firstly sorry for your loss, I also had a loss in May so can sympathise. If your cycles are regular to the day then there's a good chance you could have conceived. Most things say that if you're unsure, test a week after your period is due. Good luck 😊

Just a thought.. maybe unlikely. Have you had the Covid vaccine recently? It knocked me off big time!

So sorry for your loss OP, hope you are doing ok. Agreed with what PP has said about the vaccine, has made my cycles differ hugely the last 4 months, so may be worth taking into consideration if you have had it. Of course saying that, it could be that you are indeed pregnant, maybe leave it over the weekend and see how you feel about testing? I know it can come with disappointment, so do it when you feel ready enough. I know women who would leave it a week before testing, but I absolutely did not have that willpower. We are all different, wishing you all the best.

Faint positive. Scared

Scared it is too faint
