Late period, negative tests and pregnancy symptoms - has anyone experienced this?

[Thatonenightinamsterdam]

Help, folks. I’m going mad.

I don’t think logistically I could be pregnant. I DTD in ovulation window which was around 17th April (I didn’t test but it’s generally right). I was due my period on 1st May, which is within the 25-28 day time line. It’s normally 28 days.

I had a few episodes of nausea over last week or so. Thought perhaps my eyes needed retesting. Then 30th April started cramping as normal. No period. Boobs felt heavy and full and were ACHING. Even walking was sore. But that has gone and now they just feel tender to touch. I’ve been cramping on and off since the 30th April. Still no period. I’ve tested and it’s negative. I get pain when I pee when on period (likely endo), had it since last Thursday consistently. Still no period.

What on earth is going on. My period has never been this late. The cramps are light and mild and fluctuant. I’m angry, grumpy, teary, sleepy - I’m all of the seven dwarfs. It feels like I’m just about to have my period but zilch. Nil. Nada. I want junk food. I want to crawl into bed. My clothes look awful on me. I was bloated huge. WHERE IS MY PERIOD.

My friend said she didn’t test positive until one week after her missed period (she can’t work out ovulation timeline, did it as normal during ovulation window) and she has a healthy baby girl now. I’ve tested daily with not even a hint of a line. But this not knowing is killing me. Everything online is like ‘you couldn’t possibly test positive this late’ but then anecdotally people are telling me they testing positive a week or 10 days post period missed and they had successful pregnancies. Any one else out there? Any twin mums who had negatives for a while? Anyone able to shed any light?

I am in the same boat although have a v faint line ? Indent ? Imagination

i have seen on other threads that it is possible, for example if you just ovulated late that month due to stress/illness, for a test to only show positive a few days after your missed period.

Best of luck to you xx

Thank you anon! My period came yesterday with a bang. Worst cramps ive ever had. I cried, and that’s saying something. Plus it’s heavier too which makes me wonder if I was pregnant and this is me not being pregnant anymore because honestly it was hellish. And I have terrible cramps anyway. But I doubt it given the lack of a positive.

thats exciting you have a faint line! I’ve never seen one of those so I’ve no idea how that feels. But I do know that the waiting is excruciating. Fingers crossed for you!!
