False negative pregnancy tests

Hi! I’m currently 4 days late for my period. I have never been this late before, occasionally 1 or 2 days but I haven’t had any of my normal cramping or breast tenderness as I usually do. Every month is like clock work for me and I know when I’m about to get my period but this month it’s different. I had unprotected sex on my peak ovulation, twice but did take a plan b. Admittedly, I did afterwards read that plan B isn’t effective if you are already ovulating which I didn’t know! I have taken a couple of pregnancy tests but they’ve been negative so I’m wondering if anyone on here has had any experiences where they’ve had consistent negatives but then turned out pregnant? Please do share your experiences below as I’m incredibly stressed at the moment!! Thanks.

Sorry you're stressing! Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for but yes, this did happen to me. I was late had took 4 pregnancy tests, all negative. A full week later I got a positive result.

I had my dating scan today and baby measured a week and a half behind what I was expecting. I guess I ovulated really late that month, hence my HCG levels weren't yet high enough for those first tests to detect it.

The morning after pill can delay your period - not for everyone, for some people it can. The delay can be about a week, so while you might be pregnant because as you say, it’s not as effective when you’re ovulating, you might not be, and your cycle might just be delayed by a few days. Either way, you might just need to wait a few days to find out.

Can you post a picture of the test, some tests look negative but aren't?

I hope you are okay 💐
