Help please! 5 days late. Negative Tests. Could I be?

[user1493973040]

Hey ladies, please give me a min on this it's my first time posting and I'm freaking out a lil.

My periods are like clockwork, I always know when (with help of a tracker app) and how long they last. I know my period symptoms the job lot.

So I realise 2 days ago, surely I must have started by now. So I pull out my app and I'm shocked to see I was 3 days over. I can't believe I hadn't noticed I'd been so wrapped up in work and the house to realise I was late. So I went home and took two store brand tests both negative. I'd not had any of the "pregnancy symptoms" besides tiredness, irritability and dizziness. I also have had increased appetite, breakouts and oily hair for past couple of weeks, never really get that when I'm coming on. Then I realised around two weeks after my period I had a brownish pale red short show, (but I brushed it off as I get 3 or 4 a year and it means nothing.)

So a very anxious hubby and 2 days later still no sign of my period. It's now 5 days late and never ever been this late. So how much longer should I wait before taking a Clear blue test? I'd rather not take one now if it's not gonna show when's the best time to do so? Oh and my Hub and I haven't had it unprotected for about 3 years so there's been no accidents.

Thank you for anyone who can shed some light 👍🏼

I was 4 weeks late before I got my BFP (was testing every few days for the first week and then dropped to testing weekly and finally got a positive) I'm now 30 weeks and my midwife had no idea why the tests didn't show up sooner as, like you, my AF has always been regular and my ovulation date lined with my dating scan. It was very odd

Could you call your GP and see if your practise offers a blood test? Hope you get a result soon!

Just wait, I think people are so overly obsessed with knowing withing a time frame. I appreciate you're probably anxious, especially if you've been careful, but not much you can do till you get a positive. Recommendations are to take test, if negative wait a week and take another :) and relax x

Thanks ladies. I've taken two more tests both negative still and I'm currently 8 days late so I'm making an appointment with my gp in the morning going to ask them for a blood test!
