18dpo, BFN, confused!

Hey guys. I’m 18/19 dpo today and I’ve been cramping since ovulation which was on CD14. I definitely ovulated at that time, and I’m 4-5 days late today and still BFN on cheapies. I’m abroad and I can’t get hold of a FRER and I honestly don’t know what to do. This month I’ve been cramping ever since I ovulated which is really weird.. and my boobs aren’t hurting at all which is sad because I’ve been ttc for over two years now. But my boobs always hurt before my period so I’m even more confused as to why they’re not at all sore this month. I’ve been getting AF type cramps but no period. This morning I thought I’d started my period and I put on a pad but there’s only a tiny amount of brown blood and cramps which were in the morning. Absolutely nothing at all now. No cramps, no bleeding. I’m so confused and so worried because I’ve tested and negative. My periods are alwayssss regular. I always have a 27-28 day cycle and this is really worrying me now. Could something be seriously wrong? I can’t even ask my gp for advice because I’m out of the country. I’m pretty sure my period was due on Saturday and today is Friday.
My friend mentioned it could be implantation bleeding but so late? Surely I can’t be having implantation bleeding at 18dpo?! I’ve had two miscarriages in the past and for my first pregnancy I did have implantation bleeding but that was probably around 10-11DPO. This is just crazy. Any help anyone? :(

I’m only 25 btw and trying for our first baby. This is crazy but someone mentioned menopause? Which is freaking the hell out of me and I know it won’t be this at all but..

There are lots of reasons why your period can be late. Some serious but most not. I'd stop testing. And book to see a gp when you get home assuming it hasn't come by then. Try not to worry.

I’m trying so hard not to worry and to distract myself but this morning when I had brown bleeding (or spotting) I thought I finally got my period and felt relieved but then when I went to check again a few hours later there was nothing. I have no idea what’s happening. Should I get a blood test done from here?
