Day 39 cycle, no period, BFN

Hi all, looking for similar experiences and their outcomes. I haven't been checking ovulation so not sure on DPO, but I'm on day 39 of my cycle which is usually 28-32 days. No period, had BFN with Tesco cheap tests on day 37 & 38. Achey lower back, sore boobs, and add waves of nausea and needing to pee 500 times today. Some mild cramping here and there but normally with AF get worse than this. Trying not to obsessively test so waiting a few days and have ordered first response test instead. Just wondering if anyone else had this - did you end up with period or with BFP?

The main sign I was pregnant that differed from pms symptoms was that I got absolutely no spotting.

My period was two weeks late this month. I am on the mini pill but always have a regular bleed every 28/29 days. I have put it down to stress. But I had a very, very mild cold last months and have been exhausted ever since so I am wondering covid, which might have changed my cycle? Two negative tests too. I had cramping when I'd normally expect my period as well.

I am 37 and absolutely am not even considering perimenopause!

Wow 2weeks! Hmm I felt a little unwell around 2 weeks ago I wonder if that could be delaying my period. I've never been this late before and not on any contraception :( still hoping for a positive

Maybe you ovulated later than you thought? Definitely worth testing again in a couple of days, fingers crossed for you.

Possibly... I've ordered first response off Amazon which should come today so will test again tomorrow and if still BFN then again on Monday and after that if I still don't have my period or a positive I give up this month 😂my body is doing things it's own way lol

My regular 30 day cycle once came after 45 days and a few months later after about 63 days, I was a bit worried about it so I went for blood tests and everything was perfect. The human body is like that sometimes. The first time it was most likely an increase in exercise that caused it, and the second time.. who knows? Stress? I wasn't pregnant either time, but I think the stress of waiting for my period and checking every day if it had arrived delayed it even further!

I had a swollen gland in my neck at the start of my cycle, didn’t think anything of it. Minor infection maybe. Ovulation was then 5 days later than usual, so I think for me they were linked.

It's crazy how it can just be so regular and then all of a sudden super late for no apparent reason isn't it!? I did a first response test this evening and negative... Got a HORRENDOUS headache followed by a massive cry (at a chocolate advert of all things) which is standard fare for me during PMS so probably a sign my period is on its way unfortunately.

Periods are the most infuriating things ever. They run like clockwork until you start to pay attention to them and you need them to work in your favour and then all of a sudden... all over the place! I wasn't ttc when this happened to me but I did convince myself I was going through a very early menopause and I was so upset by it... which only made me mess them up even more!
Luckily my doctor was fab and really good at explaining things. He said to me that stress isn't what we now consider it to be i.e tearing your hair out at work etc, or being physically tired and drained, it's a chemical reaction that happens in your body and you may feel totally calm on the outside, but if your brain is thinking about something in the background your body is still stressed, and that can affect your period.
Absolutely mental.
I'll keep everything crossed for you that itll be a bfp soon🤞

AF arrived today. Bodies are strange things! We're putting a pause on for now anyway as some life things have come up which mean it would be bad timing. So many emotions.
