Period is 8 Days Late but had 2 negative tests!

[GillScot]

Hi, Wonder if anyone can shed any light?. I am 8 days late for my period and hubby and me have been TTC 2nd child for 2 months. I have done 2 tests (Both negative). One this morning and one 3 days ago. It is not unusual for me to be late as my cycle is fairly irregular, however the longest I have been late is by 10 days. I have had quite sore breasts for a few weeks now and am constantly tired, I woke up with stomach cramp about 1 week before my period, really bad cramps for 3 days when my period was due but they have practically dissapeared now. I think I had low levels of HCG with first child as doctor couldn't confirm the urine test until a couple of attemps (even after two weeks O.D). I am constantly thinking and hoping "could I be pregnant" so obviously the stress isn't helping but it's catch 22 cause if I am not preg then I wish my period would hurry the hell up so I can get on with TTC again this month!!. HELP!

Since you tend to be irregular, maybe give it another week and try another test at that time if still no period. Some women won't get a positive result for several weeks with urine tests. If your test is still negative, see what happens next month when you would normally be due on. You could just being having an off cycle this month....it happens sometimes. If you can't stand the wait, each week until that time, try another test to satisfy your curiousity.

Thanks for your advice! Gill

Hello, I was three weeks overdue before finally got a positive result. The doctor said that I could have had a longer cycle this month, but is sending me for a dating scan in a couple of weeks. Reading the internet (never the best of ideas), there are lots of reasons why you caould have low HCG levels, so causing your test to come back negative. Some results of this good outcomes, some not so good, but I am trying not to worry too much at the mo or get too excited, will see at scan. I would give it until you are next due a period and if still negative, then go to the docs (what I was going to do according to advice on here before tested positive). Hope that helps a bit?!!
Fingers crossed xx
