Period 3 Days Late

Hi,

Just wanting to know if anyone has had a similar experience to me? Or could offer advise etc..

So, I'm 3 days late and this is my 2nd month of TTC for our first. I have taken a CB pregnancy test yesterday and was a BFN. Now, I'm very confused as I've been having pregnancy like symptoms the last few days. These don't feel like PMS as I get that a week before and well... That didn't happen on the run up this time.

I've been feeling, queasy, light headed, bloated, boobs feel like they swelled, light period like cramps on my lower back. Oh and strange one... I've been waking up with very greasy hair the last few days (never happened before).

Is it possible that I could be pregnant even though I had a negative test?

Just to add, I have been tracking my ovulation with urine tests and I ovulated on my usual day 14.

Thanks

Hey OP, usually you would have had a strong positive line by now… I found when TTC that I thought symptoms were there when they actually wasn’t, because I wanted it so bad.
maybe try with a pink dye test as they are more reliable than CB.
Really wishing you the best of luck ❤️

In summary, no it's not. If you're testing negative after your period is due you're not pregnant. Your mind can play tricks a bit and convince you of the presence of 'symptoms'. Your period will probably turn up in the next few days, or if it doesn't, it can be normal to miss a period occasionally.

Hi OP, I agree with the pp that this sounds like a late or skipped period which I think every woman will experience at least once in their life.
Unless you ovulated extremely late, you would be getting a BFP by now and, if the hcg levels were enough to cause symptoms, they'd definitely be enough to show on a test.
I never had any pregnancy symptoms this early with either of mine.

Hey op I would keep testing each day as I have 2 friends who both tested positive a week after their period was due. Conception is not cut and paste and some people have slow rising hcg or you might have ovulated later than you thought! Obviously a missed period is one scenario but you could still be pregnant and just not know yet. Fingers crossed for you x
