I need some advice please. My ‘FWB’ partner is as regular as clockwork, always 25/27 days.
She was due on Friday, she had a very pink smear on tissue from a wipe at 10:30am, then 24 hours later, she had much darker, brown and very clotted blood on a tissue, but not the normal bright red and volume period she would usually have. Sunday was a much, much lighter smear on tissue.

We had unprotected sex and then finished with a condom on day 19 of her cycle, and we are worried she may be pregnant.
We tested on Saturday and again today with Clearblue digital (10mIU/ml) tests, both were negative. (Todays test, Monday, is day 29, so at least two days after where her normal cycle would finish)

She did have a small bout of sickness on Saturday afternoon, but has been fine since; she is going through grief at present with a family death anniversary.

We believe she ovulates around day 11 normally so day 19 should be safer, and with us both being 43 years old, the chances are lower.
If anyone can share any insight / thoughts, that would be really appreciated, keeping in mind the tests we have done and the timing around them.

Thanks in advance 🙏

If you’ve done 2 tests and both have been negative I would say it’s unlikely, but not impossible, especially if ovulation wasn’t tracked etc? My cycles have always been regular since I was a teenager, but have had a few cycles of ovulating a week late randomly over the past few years.
The grief/stress could contribute to a later period and delay her cycle, but again, there’s no way to really tell that for definite right now

We have just done another test although it was a 25 not a 10, it was negative.

My friend also had some blood on her pad today, not much, but some, and there were a few small clots in the urine sample container.

Do you think it is just a ‘strange’ period perhaps and we can put our minds to rest?

Quick update.

We have another negative Clear Blue this morning, given her period was due 4 days ago, can we take the test and the ‘strange bleeding’ over the weekend as no pregnancy?

Thanks
