Has anyone got false negative after week 5? I have a feeling I am pregnant but got negative result on test. I'm 5w 2d today and tested 3 days ago last time (4w 6d)

I persume it's 5week since your last period? If you are pregnant you may not be as far as you think.. Which tests are you using as some are not as sensitive as others do wouldn't pick up a pregnancy so early. It's either that or your not pregnant xc

My period is 7 days late. I took a first response before my missed period so that might have been to early. I took a cheap strip test on 1 day late and then I took another test on 5 days late but I bought that in a small pharmacy abroad (I'm on holiday) and it was negative but the control line didn't develop properly so not sure how accurate it was. Have now ordered a big box of test from amazon I can use when I'm home. Will have to book gp so if I'm not pregnant I need to find out there isn't some other medical issue messing me up Confused

Not a lot of help I'm afraid but periods can miss for no reason. My GO said that they'd see me for a missed period after I'd missed two in a row - so 8 weeks 'late'. They weren't that bothered when I went and said sometimes they just skip for no reason.

So I don't want to build up your hopes as my case was probably quite unusual, but I'll tell you my story anyway.

I started testing the day after my missed period (as they were like clockwork)... But for 17 whole days, with all different brands, I got negative results every time. After a year of ttc I was at my wits end thinking all sorts like early menopause etc.

Booked doctor's apt for next day, and got a positive myself that morning! Went to doc anyway who did bloodtests, which showed very low hcg levels, so said I'd probably miscarry. Went for a scan at 9 weeks, and only showed as 6 weeks... but they said there was nothing wrong, just that I must have ovulated really late in that cycle. So then I went a further 42 weeks (which was actually 45 weeks from my last period).... and then got induced... and after 2 days of labour finally finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girlGrin

Do you know that you definitely ovulated / when you ovulated? The lateness of your period is only really based on when you ovulated and your normal luteal phase length. So you might not be late at all, if you see what I mean?

I once had a random 50+ day cycle for no reason. I assume it was an anovulatory cycle so my body just didn't do what it was meant to do.

Of course you could be pregnant and just not showing on the test yet, but for that only time will tell.

Good luck!

Hiya, not much help but my periods are very much all over the place. I had a missed miscarriage in August (at 12 week scan baby measured 6) since then I had my first period after end of Aug and very very light spotting end of Oct. I had a positive test yesterday but according to dates if they were to be correct I'd either be 13/8 weeks. But I imagine that I'm likley less and just ovulated later than expected. Just got to wait for my midwife appointment now and hopefully get a scan booked in to find out.
Hopefully once your home you'll sort it all 🙂 good luck with everything xx

I guess i just have to wait and see. I know i ovulation on day 17 last cycle as i track in an app and With ovulation strip. Thats the day it say i Should ovulation in the tackling app But aware that it can vary cycle to cycle. My period is always on track that's why I'm worried. I did have some light spotting only for 3 days that was not like a period at day 26 9days after supposed ovulation and 5 days before expected period. I never had any cramps or symptoms as I have on my period which never have happened. Maybe it's early menopause or cysts? I had a pregnancy 3 years ago and think must have mistaken implantation for a period because when I found out I was 8 weeks and only had missed one period.
