I’m late. Very late! My period was due four weeks ago. Exciting…except I’ve taken four pregnancy tests now, all FMU and all taken after AF was due, and I’ve had four BFNs. I’ve tried clearblue, superdrug and tesco, so it isn’t like it's a fault batch of tests or anything.

I don’t have any obvious PMS symptoms. I’m starting to get a bit of nausea, which feels like my previous pregnancy, but then again I’m pretty darn stressed over the negative tests and missing period so I might just been anxious-nauseous Confused

Help! What do I do? Why am I testing negative well after hcg levels should be detectable??

(I’ve already tried the GP but they said to come back if I miss my second period.)

Well all those pregnancy tests would have shown lines by now. Were you sick, on medication or started exercising or gained weight?

Your stress/anxiety could be why your period is late! It could be that you've skipped a month too, or you've just ovulated late. If you've recently come off contraception, that could be why. It can take a few cycles for everything to settle. I came off the pill last November and my periods are still a bit wonky.

Try not to stress about it too much! Give it a few more weeks and then see your GP again

Nothing different at all. My cycles are very regular at 30 days, and suddenly this month it's all gone weird.

I had unprotected sex (unintentionally, I’m not actually trying to get pregnant, though I’d not be heartbroken if I was) which is the only major difference…

I’m on a different TTC thread and there were like 4 of us who randomly missed our period, or started really really late! I haven’t had a period since the beginning of March, not pregnant! Very strange. Hopefully it comes soon for both of us! x

It is very odd, isn’t it? I’ve never been like this before (except when I was pregnant!) but it is fairly clear that I’m not. I’m baffled!

Negative again, yes. I have never been this late before! Very odd

Never had any symptoms of it and I’m nearly 40. I don’t think it's likely tbh
