Just was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences.

Had a baby just over a year ago, have had regular periods back for a year now. They are 28/29 day cycles and can very much predict when my period is going to arrive.
My period was due last Thursday, all says I'm officially 3 days late but I guess it's really 5 days now. I've never been this late in my life, I know it's normal to skip periods at times, I have been quite stressed last week but as it was so close to when my period was due I didn't think it would affect it.

Also had and have tender breasts and bloating which I don't normally get before a period but know it's common and mild cramps with at the weekend back pain and mild twinges in my left side.
Took a test, which was negative at the weekend so yesterday I took another test and an ovulation test which I'll insert below.
There is a faint line on the pregnancy test, has more colour in person but not sure if it's an indent as this morning a boots digital said not pregnant. Still no sign of period and not sure what to do, we were looking at starting to ttc next month so worried that my period hasn't come and why.
Thanks

I guess the most obvious question is have you had unprotected sex in the middle two weeks of your cycle? If yes then I'd say you're probably pregnant, that HCG test has something there for sure. The LH has a decent amount of colour which you'd expect as it also picks up hcg.

I have but I thought if I was pregnant the digital would have picked it up this morning, as if I ovulated when my app says I have approximately then I'd be about 15DPO now. The LH this morning I took was a bit more faint than that one, but I just took another LH and it's darker now than both this morning and yesterday

I'd assume I was pregnant but my HCG isn't yet high enough to pick up on a digital. They usually have a higher threshold. Test again in a few days
