Not pregnant or too early?

[Summertimeflowers]

Don’t really know what to think so coming here to see if I can get some guidance!

according to my cycle tracker app I am 1 day late, according to that same app I am 20 dpo, but around the same time I was due to ov, I got gastroenteritis (courtesy of 3y/o) and I know sometimes illness can delay ov?

Cut to now I am 1 day late. I took a test yesterday (boots) and it was negative but was I too early? I’m usually very regular and the last time I was late, I was pregnant with said 3y/o.

Should I wait and retest, or would the negative be pretty accurate and I’m just late for reasons unknown?

Not actively TTC but also not being the most careful either. Wasn’t sure where best to post this either!

thanks!

I would re-test in a few days to be sure because you could have ovulated later due to illness (which would delay a positive). Use the ‘5 days early’ type tests too to be sure.

I’ve always been very regular and my last 5 cycles were all 28 days. Randomly, last month I was 10 days late for no particular reason (this has never happened to me before). I’m the same as you, we were going to start trying next month so we’re not being particularly careful. It drove me mad not understanding what was going on and by the point my period came I had taken several tests. Sometimes this can happen apparently!

@Ghht sounds like me! Been wracking my head over why I might be late (if not preg) but guess it could just be one of those things!
