Late period

Hi Everyone.
We only started TTC this last month so I'm not expecting to be pregnant but my period is late. I've had regular cramping leading up to the date I thought AF was coming. I feel like I'm going to come on any minute. I feel a bit nauseous sometimes and I have aching in my lower back and also very tired. I have taken several tests - all negative.
Has this happened to anyone? I had my LB 3 years ago and I don't remember any of this.
Thanks

When should I test again?

How late is AF? Tests are more accurate if you take first thing in the morning, but the later you are the less relevant that becomes.

Monday it should have started but my Flo app said I'm late from today. I did a test at lunch time - negative Sad

If you have another test then I'd check first thing tomorrow, HCG is more concentrated then so more accurate.

Oh and get an FRER test, more accurate than clear blue IMO

Any update?

I came off the contraceptive pill 5 weeks ago and had my withdrawal bleed a couple of days later. 2 weeks later I had some very light spotting and brown discharge. My period was technically due last week but it hasn't shown yet. All I'm getting is period like cramps. Done 2 tests which have come back negative
