Late period, usually 28d like clockwork. Copper coil

My usually regular as clockwork 28d cycle period is 8d late and counting. I've had some unusual pelvic cramps and rushes of discharge I thought was period starting. I've had copper IUD for last 18m with no problems. I'm a GP and know it's highly unlikely I'm pg but have still done 4 home preg tests in last 3 days! Moved house recently so thinking stress could have messed up my cycle, although I've had loads of stress over the last year and cycle was v regular nevertheless. Don't really want any advice, just posting to offload and to reassure others that when it comes to suspected pregnancy, even health professionals lose rationality and go overboard with the tests!

Also despite the fact that it really wouldn't be great if I was pg as I'm a single parent with a soon to be teen DD who needs my focus, I don't live with DP and I'm self-employed and need to work - I still feel kind of disappointed when the preg test is negative. WHUT? How crazy is that? Anyone else have irrational negative preg test disappointment when it should be a relief?

Period finally came, 9 days late (a record for me). Guess moving house can really affect hormone levels.

The women's health section isn't very active, is it?!
