Hi everyone, this is my first post- I will try to get to the crux of it asap lol.
husband and I are currently not actively trying (month of April), had one (potentially two) slip ups. First one was day 13 of my cycle and second definite one was day 21.
Now I have an a regular cycle like clockwork of 26-27 days. My period has not come.. it’s day 30. Usually I’d let this slide but I’ve been cramping for a week!! The cramps are exactly like the start of AF but nothing is showing, not even a drop. I have had other symptoms too like nausea during the night etc but nothing major..
I’ve done 5 pregnancy tests and they are all saying negative!! Last one was used yesterday (2 days late)
what is going on? I will call doctors later.. I’m hoping it’s not ectopic but wouldn’t that show that I have hcg in urine.
Is there possibility that I’m pregnant and it’s just not showing up on stick? I thought day 21 would be too late to conceive in a 27 day cycle.
thank you

An ectopic would still show as a positive pregnancy. I've heard of some women who only get positive tests a few days late but I think it's more likely that you aren't pregnant if you're sure of your cycle. There are lots of other things that can delay your period - change in contraception, covid, stress etc.

You may have, for some reason, ovulated late and this therefore delayed your period. Or you ovulated late, got pregnant from the day 21 sex and it's too early for a test.

I once had one weird cycle, ovulated as normal day 15, period one whole week later than normal, negative tests. Who knows.

Obviously if your period doesn't come, take another test in a few days

OP, if you are pregnant but hcg is too low to trigger the tests it will start to show up on the tests in a day or two, particularly if you ovulated late this month, although that sounds unlikely given your cycles are very regular.
Give it a few days. Either your period will start or a test will show up as positive.
as pp said, an ectopic pregnancy would also show up as a positive test.

Thank you everyone!! I’ve literally been feeling like I’m going to come on for dayssss so I thought I’d go into the office today as change of scenery, might trigger something (eg AF) and I’ve just wiped and had tiny bit of something in mucus.. hope this is the start and I’ve just had a really really long lead up. Thanks again

Ok that wasn’t the start of my period.. FRER still a dead negative. Really wondering what’s going on. Hate this wait.. will hang on another 3/4 days and maybe speak to doctors although I can’t imagine they will be very helpful.

Why would you speak to doctors?

Give it a few days, as suggested & test again, if your period hasn't come.

It's probably unlikely you are pregnant, but not impossible.

Because I’m in pain (had cramps way longer than I ever have and they are getting uncomfortable) I’d quite like to rule out infection or anything sinister as this isn’t normal for me.
