Negative preg test, period 10 days late. What?!

I have really regular periods. My cycle is always (apart from when I had small babies) 28 days, I track it. This month I’m 10 days late and no sign of it!

I bought a pregnancy test today (a pricey one as it’s all there was in the Co-op) and it was negative. I would have been surprised if I was pregnant, to be honest.

What else could it be? 10 days late is so bizarre for me!

hi hope you don’t mind if I join in?

I’m having the same situation

We've been TTC for several months now.

Over new year I had what I believe to be implantation bleeding.

Period was due roughly around the 8th jan, sometimes can be a day or two later. My Flo app takes this into consideration.

I'm now approximately 8 days late...still no BFP - I'm going insane with anxiety, I've tested with FRER and clear blue.

I have been feeling slightly nauseous and had a mild headache nearly every day.

Has anyone experienced not having a BFP 8 days after a late period and still been pregnant?

Stress or dieting can make you skip periods. Sometimes you just skip one for no reason! The body is complicated.

Stress and anxiety can delay periods. And also having been ill earlier on in your cycle.
Only thing you can do is try to forget it, relax and wait and see. Do another test in a couple of days, but try not to fixate on it.

This happened to me once, I was SURE I was pregnant but nope. Just an odd one off 🤷‍♀️

when I was pregnant I was two weeks late and testing negative. Finally got BFP six weeks after last period.

Also more recently had period delayed by covid vaccinations.

how old are you?

if north of 40 I would suspect hormonal changes.

I had this, took a second test and it was positive

I had this once, went to the doctor (young and daft and hoping they'd tell me I was pregnant even though I had negative tests 😂) the doctor took a swab and told me infections can hold back your period. Turned out I did have thrush.

I was 37 when I missed a period and thought I might be pregnant even though my dh had had a vasectomy!!

MamadollMama · 03/08/2024 16:45

And where you pregnant? Myself and dh aren't using any contraception if it happened it would be a lovely surprise but i gave up trying years ago after so many disappointments and I have to be grateful that I already am blessed with my ds
