late period,negative tests!

[northernmonkey1983]

Hi all, im just after a little bit of advice /reassurance. My periods are always like clockwork, never going over 28 days, i am now 3 days late,i have taken 2 tests both of which are negative. I've been experiencing lower abdo/back pain/cramp intermittently since tues similar to what i get just before i start my period. Not sure what to think..

You're posted in the Contraception topic. What method do you use?

Oops sorry, condoms tried the pill and it wasnt for me!

The fail rate for condoms is billed at anywhere between 2% (perfect use) and 18%(typical use) so PG is definitely a possibility.

How long it takes to test positive can vary. It could just be that your body is throwing you a weird one in terms of timing, and AF will turn up imminently. I'd suggest testing at two day intervals for another few days, and if no AF and still negative think about seeing your GP.

I hope it turns out as you hope.

Thanks, i will book a gp appointment.
