10 days late negative

[Kay45677]

Hello, I'm currently 10 days late according to my app. My cycles are irregular but ranging from 20-31 days, but I am on day 37, had cramps on and off spotting randomly, I have symptoms such as really tired, nausea and heavy boobs, bloated! I had a funny test last month was was a positive but then tested negative after that, now I am actually getting a bump or just very bad bloating! I have tested 5 times negative. Any ideas? Should I go to the dr or just wait it out? I am also getting white discharge.

If you’ve not been temping or doing OPKs you can’t know for certain when you’ve ovulated. In the past couple of years or so, despite generally regular cycles, I’ve occasionally ovulated on CD8 (!!) and occasionally on CD20. I suspect it’s just your body throwing a curveball of a cycle at you, as if you really were 10 days late and pregnant you’d be getting blazing tests. Apps are only as good as the data you input, and if you only mark your period days it will just be working on the basis of the average of your past cycles, which may be way out this cycle.

So is there a still a chance I could be pregnant?

Yes, if you don’t know when you ovulate, there’s a chance it could have been really late and you’re still too early for a test to pick it up. If I were you, and especially if you have irregular cycles, buy yourself a BBT thermometer and start temping. That’s the best way to confirm ovulation (and watch out for the temp drop if AF is approaching). Then next cycle, if this isn’t it, you can combine temping with OPKs to get a better handle on what’s happening. Good luck!

Thanks
