Okay so I'm 4 days late on my period, I'm never late and never go over 35 days, I'm currently day 38.. I've taken 2 pregnancy tests, 1 yesterday and another this morning and they're both negative.. what do I do? I don't understand why my period hasn't come if it's not pregnancy? Has this happened to anyone else?! Help is much appreciated haha

Stress, illness and just a once off can cause a missed period. I didn't get a positive on a test though until I was 6 days late but I have shorter cycles than you

I was 6 days late before I got my BFP - BFNs at 2 and 4 days late Hmm

I never got a positive test until I was a week late. No idea why! Try again tomorrow, make sure it's your first wee in the morning as the hormones are more concentrated in that one. Good luck!

Omg 🥺 I've been trying to talk it out my mind so I don't get my hopes up after seeing the 2 BFN's so I'll leave it a couple of days and try again, thank you all!

Did you get your covid vaccine recently? Some friends of mine have said it delayed their periods

Hugo2 · 12/05/2021 22:45

@shivawn I had my second dose on the 5th of may but 4th of may was supposed to be the start of my period window anyway so I don't think the jab has effected it, it hasn't messed with my last few, had my first dose in feb

@Hugo2 I went to hospital last weekend because I fainted in the supermarket, going by my LMP I was 6weeks pregnant, dr done a pregnancy test ans told me I wasn’t pregnant! I had to argue my point and get them to do a blood test , while waiting for results drs changed shifts and I had another dr who asked to examine me the. Said let’s get a scan and see what’s going on, I was scared she was going to find something awful but turns out I am carrying 2 healthy babies and I’m not 6weeks I’m 11weeks! I didn’t stick around for the blood resultsSmile If your period doesn’t show int he next week I’d say call the dr and ask for a blood test some are ok and agree others dismiss you , I could have listened to the first dr that saw me and agreed I wasn’t pregnant then I would have been eating sushi and drinking vodka ! Trust your instincts and so what’s right for you
Good luck x

@Cherryblossom2021 omg how amazing! Congratulations on your amazing 2 little babies! So even at 11 weeks with twins which they say makes it show up more, you was still having negative pregnancy tests?! 😅

@Cherryblossom2021 I'll try another test in a couple of days, if it's negative the doctors will be my next stop! Thank you xx

Just done another pregnancy test, but not on my first wee of the day because I just nipped out and couldn't resist buying one - obviously a negative, what did I do?! Do I wait or just accept I'm not pregnant? Still no period, had back ache and little niggles next to my hip.. is my body just being weird?

Wait a few days and try again. But with your first morning wee! A few of us don't seem to get positive tests until we're a few days late. I'd say get a test in ready for Sunday morning.

I had my first ever later period 2 periods ago - it was a 5 week cycle. My next one was 3 weeks. No idea what is going on, loads of my friends have had weird cycles lately too. So odd. No idea what this means for TTC which we are embarking on.

Mummylucy11 · 10/06/2021 19:09

any update op?

Hugo2 · 10/06/2021 23:58

@Mummylucy11 still no period so got a blood test at the end of the month and a scan is getting arranged too! Very strange haha
