Late period but negative test

[Jemma7]

Have been trying for a baby for about 4 months - periods always regular - now 5 days late, 4 tests later and still negative results! Any suggestions anyone?

I don't know about the erosion, but you can be pregnant and get bleeding around the time your period should be because of implantation. I guess only time will tell for sure.

You can bleed when pregnant ( often around the time when you would have had a period) whether or not you have had corrosion of the cervix, it's really very common.
Good luck for next month

Hello

I'm new to the site and wanted some advice please. I have endometriosis for which I have had ALL the treatment going! My fiance and I decided to quit the treatments and try for kids as we never know if this will realistically happen (without IVF). I've had 3 normal regular cycles and am now approx 10 days late for my period. Over the last week I've done 4 tests - all negative. I've had pain on one side 6 days ago that I feel could have been inplantation??? Last test was 3 days ago and it was a clear blue digital. Help!

I would say a trip to your GP?? Fingers crossed for both of you.

Still no period (12 days late). Am going to do a test in 3 days, just feel like a drama queen going to my GP after 4 neg tests!

[ready4motherhood]

My GP told me when I said that we were TTC "do not rely on HPT as they are not always accurate - best to pop in and see me and we'll send away a sample"
Now, I realise that my GP is brilliant and I am lucky as not all GPs are like that... BUT that is what they are there for!! Don't worry about the negative tests, you don't even need to tell them you have taken a test... just say you are 12 days late and wonder if you might be PG???

Fingers crossed for you.

I was 9 days late when I got the first positive result, all others had been negative before. I am now aproaching 36 weeks pregnant, and everything is fine, so it doesn't mean anything 'bad' will/has happened!

I think I have read on here of people not getting a positive result until they were 9 weeks pregnant - so, loads of good luck to you both

[ELB66]

I know you're right. I'll do test in 2 days then go to my GP. Anyone else had 'period like' pains. I dis 5 days ago so much that I was convinced my period was around the corner! It's enough to drive anyone mad this. Oh to be a man!

Hello I was TTC for 18 months and was late getting my period, I did four tests from day 31 to day 40 of my cycle, all negative. I finally got a positive on day 42 of my cycle (ie two weeks late). I now have a very healthy 8 month old son. Hurrah!. I went to the GP on day 36 to say I had done tests and were negative etc and she didn't do a pregnancy test, but did refer me (at my request) for some fertility tests as we had been trying for a long time. Thank god we never needed those tests in the end. I think (from doing ovulation tests in past) that I ovulate quite late, which could have been a reason for negative tests earlier on.

Hope you get the positive you are waiting for.

[babybensmum]

Forgot to say, I did have period like pains and was sure I was getting my period, but it turned out to be early pregnancy. I still had those pains quit a lot throughout as well.

[ELB66]

Thanks. That's rather reassurung! Feel very bloated and boobs rather big - yet not sore. Time will tell.

[ELB66]

Good luck. Keep us posted.

ectopic usually indicated by mild lower abdominal pain, sharp stabbing pain intermittently & nausea...and sometimes pain in the shoulder on the same side the stabbing pain is.......brown dishcarge may be a sign....see if you can remake that doctors appt....you will feel better once you are checked out.....

[ELB66]

Just done another test (14 days late) and another negative. Am going mad here and my unsympathetic partner is telling me to "chill out" about it. It's been the longest 2 weeks of my life!

[babybensmum]

Any updates girls? Really hope you both get a positive. I did also have a bit of brown discharge at what I thought was 8 weeks, doc sent me for an early pregnancy scan, and all was ok and discharge never happened again, but scan showed me to only be about 6.5 weeks not 8, again showing prob ovulated late.

Hi

Been to my GPs and saw the nurse. She says highly likey to be pregnancy and that the negative tests are probably becasue they were done midday (although 1 day 8 late) was done 1st thing in the morning. She recommended a test 1st thing tomorrow and said that it's not common but "does happen". No words of wisdom really but what else can they do at 2 weeks late?

[babybensmum]

Yay, well let us know what happens tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.

[ELB66]

Negative! WHAT NOW?
