Late period, negative test

I’d be very surprised if I was pregnant because we used condoms and checked and there were no tears. We want to TTC next month which is annoying (I had a scan this month to rule out some health issues which was all clear).

it’s day 32 of my cycle, last cycle was 26 days and one before was 29.

My app is saying I’m late. I don’t feel AF on its way at all. Two negative pregnancy tests and really don’t see how I could be pregnant.

Only difference is I took a multivitamin with folic acid in it this month.

Anyone had similar?

I've had this numerous times, convinced myself I was pregnant too even on months where I hadn't had sex.

This month, was 5 days late, took 4 pregnancy tests all negative, didn't feel like period was ever going to come. Ended up with spotting on the Wednesday evening which never usually happens, then on Thursday afternoon AF started heavy as usual.

Anything can affect a period, temporary stress, an illness. Even starting a vitamin can delay it.
Nothing you can do either as in my experience of once being 3 weeks late, GP isn't willing to do anything until you've missed 2 periods.

Thanks @Talkabtit101 for replying. I’m using a hot water bottle to try and ease it out of me somehow. Feels like I’ve had PMS forever as well. Drives you mad!

I understand your frustration.
If you took the Pregnacare conception multi vitamins, this is notorious for causing delayed periods for many people.

@CustardCream31 It was actually just a Holland and Barrett multivitamin. I was going to stop it before TTC as it has vit A in it. Only difference is that it has folic acid which my previous multivitamin didn’t have. I also took some B6 separately.

Currently wake up on day 33 of what is normally a 26-29 day cycle with not even a twinge of a cramp and no spotting. How many days until it’s considered irregular? My last period was 26day cycle and lasted 6 days.

Any time it’s been late it’s been so painful too.

If you track ovulation you can usually tell if a period is late as it’s generally 14 days after ovulation.
my ovulation varies between day 10 and day 15 but my period always comes 14 days after that which I assume is regular even though it’s varied cycle lengths if that makes any sense!?

@Cosycardiganandteaandtoast it has arrived! Well some light spotting. Ah OK I ovulated on Jan 4th so about 11 days which is my normal luteal phase. Makes sense thank you
