6 days late

6 replies

I didn't fully track this month, so i am possibly 6 days late!

I've taken a few tests already, they are showing negative.

I have no feeling that my period is coming, i usually get painful cramps.
Possible pregnancy symptoms - the past two days my breasts have been tender, nipples tingling.

I actually had covid this month too, so my theory is that covid made me ovulate late possibly? And that's why the tests are showing negative as the HCG isn't high enough yet??

Any experience, advice or insight anyone can provide please?
Thanks!

Last month my period was 10 days late - had a few symptoms too but negative tests. I think mine was stress though. Boo

I've read about covid delaying ovulation so it could be just too early a positive test. Fingers crossed for you! I'd test again in a couple of days (or tomorrow as who has the patience to wait) as the lack of cramps is promising

Hi, I've had something similar so very interested to see other people's take on it.

My periods are so clockwork I know the hour I'm going to start.

Last month I was 3 days late but the only positive I got was for covid.

This month is the same, I'm 2 days late now with brown spotting which is getting heavier so I know AF is near. I'm not taking a pregnancy test as the same thing happened last month and don't have it in me to see a negative come up.

This month I ovulated as if I hadn't been 3 days late so technically I ovulated early, I'm really confused with what is happening but serious fustrated that having covid has possibly messed up my cycles.

I'm now just waiting for AF and going to start testing ovulation as soon as I'm finished so I don't miss it.

Wishing you luck, hopefully it was late ovulation and you will get your positive soon x

Also had this when ttc. Periods are 28 days and never late. I was 10 days late, then six months later 17 days late! I also put it down to subconscious stress. Not happened since, except for covid when I was two days early!!

Yes I'm thinking that me having covid has to play a big part! Thank you so much! I'm testing with a FRER on Wednesday morning! Yes, absolutely no cramps at all!

Bless you. Yes I've heard stress can delay, although i think I'm ok on that front! Definitely covid playing with our cycles! Hopefully we still managed to catch, even if i did ovulate late, and im hoping it will show on the tests soon!

Sorry to hear it love! Covid has alot to answer for! I've decided if I'm out this month, I'm definitely going to get ovulation tests next cycle to confirm for me better! I usually at least track CM but this month i didn't. Thank you so much! X
