Late period with negative tests while trying to conceive

Husband and I are actively trying to conceive. I've had my period back for over a year since having baby number 1 (now 2.5) and it has been very regular. This month I am on cycle day 35 with no sign of my period but having some symptoms such as more frequent urination, tender breasts, feeling bloated and some cramping which has now subsided. I did one pregnancy test on day 31 and another on day 34 and both were very much negative but I'm confused as to what is going on with my body. My typical cycle is closer to 28-30 days so definitely late. Has anyone had similar?

Do you track ovulation? Could just be you have ovulated later this month. I know you say you are regular but if you have a 28 day ish cycle and you ovulated on time then if would def show on a pregnancy test by day 34

I found when I was ttcing all sort of weird things happened. Probably because I was hyper vigilant. My cycle was always 28/29 days but I remember one time it was 35 days and I was driven mad doing tests. Probably if I hadn’t been ttcing I wouldn’t really have noticed it. Hopefully you will good news soon OP best of luck.

Thanks both. I do track ovulation but I ran out of strips this month, although think it was later than my app suggested. When I conceived my daughter I don't think I ovulated that month until over 20 days so who knows? Definitely think it might be psychological but just so odd that I'm getting no sign of it appearing at all.

Have you started taking any new prenatal vitamins? I always found that when I started taking the pregnacare trying to conceive vitamins my first cycle taking them was always unusually long even though I wasn’t pregnant. Of course I don’t know for sure that was the reason and it may just be a coincidence but it was just something I noticed. I did get pregnant twice while taking the vitamins. It just took a couple of months for my cycle to get back to normal first.
