So I'm currently 9 days late. I've never been late before, besides maybe the odd day or 2 here and there, certainly never 4+ days late, let alone 9. My husband had a vasectomy a few years ago and that's our only current BC. I've done 2 pregnancy tests, 1 on the 3rd day being late and the other on the 6th day of being late. Both negative.
I've been pregnant twice before and both times instantly knew I was pregnant and had very distinct symptoms early on - certainly don't feel pregnant now. Although I feel very much like I'm due on. For the last 2 weeks I have suffered with heavy, swollen, achy legs and lower belly (water retention - usual for me in the few days before my period) lower backache, heavy boobs and I feel extremely emotional. Again, all very normal for me in 2-3 days leading up to period, but this has been going on for 2 weeks now. I am constantly crying and I'm very angry, which is not like me.
I have had quite a lot of stress lately, but I've been through far worse stress in the past without it affecting my periods. There are no other changes either such as weight loss/gain, exercise/nutrition etc.
Its really frustrating constantly feeling like I'm due on but no sign of my period! I feel lousy.
Anybody had this before? Any ideas what could be going on?
FYI: I'm 35, couple of stone overweight but otherwise very healthy and relatively active. Ex smoker but haven't smoked in almost a decade.
