Missed period negative test...driving me crazy

[Jess1687]

Hi

I’m driving myself crazy and feel I have no one to ask for advice or turn to. I’m currently 1 week late for my period. I’m never late. So far I have taken 3 tests all negative so far. First one I took was 3 days after I was due and did my first wee of the day. Then I brought some of the 6 days early first response and did that one same day as it said it didn’t matter what time of day. I left it another two days and tested on Christmas Day so that would be 6 days after I was due and did it again with the early response ones first thing in the morning. Again it was negative. I’m waiting and will test again in a day or so as I’m now officially one week late. I’m feeling sick all day but I’m not sure if this is down to me feeling anxious. My boobs aren’t really hurting maybe a bit tender on the sides but no where near I’m on my period levels. I’m getting lower abdominal cramps like I would if I was due to come on. I just want to switch my head off it’s all I can think about when I’m not distracted by something else. We aren’t trying for a baby we had just got a bit lax using contraception but it’s not the end of the world, however timing isn’t ideal financially.

If your tests are negative after missed period you are most likely not pregnant. If you were, the test would have been positive on the day you were due. Talk to your doctor to see what messed up your cycle (lots of things could have including stress). Also, being lax about contraception is low key trying for a baby. Good luck, hope everything ends up fine.

I think I’m going to give them a call on Tuesday as I’m just making myself anxious and that makes me feel sick which then convinces me I am. Our brains can be a right pain at times!

I had a similar issue earlier this year. I was two weeks late and took several tests which were all negative. I spoke to my GP who said after several negative tests it’s unlikely I’m pregnant and with just one delayed period they’re not going to do anything about it. I came on soon after.

The GP said it just happens sometimes and I should get back in touch if I don’t come on after a couple more weeks.

I had this a few years back. I ended up having no period for 3 months however I had been in hospital so the doctors believe it was due to the stress etc. I did pregnancy tests around the first period when I was due and they were all negative.

They did say however that, as I’d taken a few pregnancy tests, they were confident I wasn’t pregnant and to just wait for AF to appear!

Hope that helps

Thanks everyone. You are all helping out here! I’m going to try and stop stressing and if I am I am and if I’m not hopefully AF will come back soon! I didn’t think I was overly stressed before I missed it but now me stressing could be making it worse.

This happened to me...its really frustrating but sometimes your cycle just goes a bit haywire and then comes back to normal the next month! So strange. I agree with pp if tests are negative at this point youre likely not pregnant.

Hey just an update in case anyone comes across the thread in the future. AF has arrived this evening 12 days late. Spoke to my GP this morning and he suggested it might be a chemical pregnancy due to the nausea I have been having and tiredness but levels were too low for detection. Yesterday was the first day I haven’t felt nauseous and now AF has come so he could be right. Anyway I have an answer

Hi @Jess1687

You had regular periods after that? I am 2 days late with negative pregnancy test. My period is always on time. I don't know what to do. So worried if it's start of menopause. 😥

@Akan yeah I went back into regular cycles after just checked back on my tracking app. I was 39 days when I posted. Then went to 30 the following month and 28 for the next 3 months so pretty regular. Some dropped a bit lower but average around 28
