First test negative... still no period!!

Hello! So my OH and I started "informally" trying over the holidays. However it also times really well with my window and when I was ovulating...

I became convinced I was pregnant last week and on Friday night, first day of my missed period, I took a clear blue test (normal not advance one). It was negative - no surprise, I was disappointed but know it's so rare to happen first time. Had a glass of wine because "no baby, no need not to"... meh.

However... I still haven't had my period. I've been tired, peeing all the time. I don't want to get too excited, but I'm also so nervous maybe I'm just fooling myself and every time I go to the loo (which is insanely often) I'm scared to see my period has arrived.

Thinking I will wait 'til Wednesday morning to test again. Am I tempting fate to even hope?What if that test is negative and still no period ...Should I buy a better brand? Does this make a difference? Is it weird to just feel pregnant?! And I assume the wine won't be too terrible if it does end up to be true!

Sorry for the random questions - it's just so hard because it's not definite... and I don't know how else to cope with the uncertainty!! X

A friend of mine got a negative test, waited a week and then got a positive one! Was just too early to tell on the first one.
I'd give it a few more days and if still no period do another test!
Good luck Smile

You tested too early and with afternoon wee and with a not-super sensitive test. Triple whammy there.
Test now you are actually late, with a sensitive test first thing in the morning. A much cheaper brand would do.
