Have you missed a period and not been pregnant?

[Onedayatatime14]

My period is 10 days late and I really hope I'm not pregnant! I'm getting scared. I've got two children already whom have medical needs and the condom broke in the middle of my cycle.
I've taken 4 tests over the past 4 days and they're all negative. I took a clearblue 5 day early test this morning and it still says not pregnant. My breasts are a bit sore and I've been having a few cramps like my period is going to start but it never comes. it's driving me crazy! Has anyone missed a period or thought they were pregnant and their period came weeks later?

anyone???

Loads of times! Mine was hormonal imbalance due to stress. There’s tons of reasons you can miss a period and you’d be testing positive by now if you were pregnant

Periods skipped a whole year once!! Unexplained.. Had had 2 xdc 14 months apart so was very grateful tbh!!
And extremely grateful for the negative pregnancy tests!!

Yes my cycle disappeared whilst I was ttc for a few months. No real explanation for it other than I was about 5 months post miscarriage so maybe body still sorting itself out. Sometimes our bodies skip ovulation. Otherwise I had fairly regular cycles. Obviously very different circumstances to yours though.

I missed a period altogether once. Other times, ive been very late. Was either worried about pregnancy or hopeful about it each time, but definitely wasn’t.

Yes, for the last 5 months I am every 7 weeks instead of every 28 days.. I however repotted it as a symptom of covid jab as it happened the exact time I got vaccinated!

Did you take the MAP? That can mess with your cycle

Never, but I have been up to about a week late before. I'm sterilised thought.

• though

I wouldn't say I'm any more stressed than usual. My period has been pretty regular the past 5/6 months as I've been tracking on an app. I just don't know what's going on. I read that 96%+ people would have a positive test after 7 days of a missed period.

@Mamamamasaurus whats MAP?

Quite a few times! If you’ve got a negative test and you’re 10days late you’re very unlikely to be pregnant. I went to the doctor about it and he said it was very common (I am usually like clockwork). The stress of thinking you’re pregnant is probably contributing too!

MAP is the morning after pill

Sometimes periods just skip for no/unknown reason. Doctors don’t investigate it until 3 missed periods because it’s very common to miss one even without pregnancy

I was two weeks late a couple of months ago after having the Covid vaccine which has been reported to affect periods.

Scared me as my husband has recently had a vasectomy.

I skipped two after the second covid vaccination - not pregnant and back to normal now.

Yep. I've tracked mine for years, and although they're usually within a day or two I've had the one one that's been completely off. The cycle I had my second jab in lasted 90 days!

No morning after pill and no covid vaccination so they can't be contributing factors.
I've got my finger, toes and legs crossed!
Thank you for all your replies

Yep quite a few times. From what I've read, your current cycle is a reflection of your diet, stress levels etc 3 months ago so can be thrown off even if there is seemingly nothing to have caused it very recently.
