Late but negative tests

Hi looking for some advice as driving myself a bit mad
I normally have 27-28 day cycles
first month of “loosely” TTC (didnt track ovulation but going from CM think there was a couple of occasions in my fertile time
Last Monday I experienced some mild cramps followed by a really small amount of brown spotting on Tuesday (cycle days 25 & 26)
Otherwise i have had a real increase in CM over the past week or so compared to normal, it is watery and white with some ewcm
I am now 4 days late but tests have all been negative

would it be possible that I could still be pregnant? How far after implantation bleeding would you expect a positive?
I have felt really tired and a bit nauseous but hard to know if this is just symptom searching

anything on experiences/advice on when to test again would be really appreciated 😊

I’m in a similar situation, I tested at 13 dpo and 15 dpo had negative and now I’m 21 dpo haven’t test again not sure when to test again and my period hasn’t come and have no sign of period, I’m going to give it another week to see if it comes, for u I would suggest waiting a bit longer, I research it and it say implantation can take up to 12 days and for hcg to rise it can take up to 12 days to start to rise so give it a bit more time and try testing again

Thank you!! If that was implantation spotting I had 12 days would be Sunday so if no show of my period by then I will test again :-) really appreciate your reply

Hiya, when I was pregnant with my 1st, I had negative tests on CD 26 and CD 27. Which is the usual length of my cycles. I used the boots early detect tests. I didn't track O that month, but we weren't technically trying but also not being careful. I genuinely thought we used condoms when I O. But apparently I must have O a week later. I tested again on CD 34, a week on from the negative tests, just as that was the longest my cycles had ever been. And got 2 positives then on first response ones. Very surprised! If AF continues to not show, that's definitely a positive sign. I think first response have the lowest detection of HCG on the market, so if you can, grab some of those 🙏

Thank you so much 🙏 - Ive ordered some first response off amazon!
I will be a week late tomorrow which will be my longest cycle ever - hopefully I get an answer one way or another over the new few days xx

It's unlikely you're pregnant if you've tested after your period is due. More likely a rogue cycle unfortunately.
