I’ve been having cramps for the past week and half my period was due yesterday according to Flo app and I’ve had all the usual PMS symptoms. I’ve checked my Flo app again and it says period may start tomorrow, I’ve done two tests this morning which are coming back negative, any one had similar?

A period a day or two late? Yes. Especially when I hit 40 and peri kicked in meaning they could be every two weeks or every 90 days, but prior to that, despite ordinarily being every 28 days like clockwork, there were the odd occasions when it was a day or two late due to stress, antibiotics for a uti, thyroid issues or just a blip.

Are you TTC or were you just testing hoping you weren’t?

I’m 28 so hopefully not peri any time soon 🫣 and no im not TTC at the moment. Just confused with the Flo app wondering if I’m technically late yet or will I be late from tomorrow it’s all mind boggling!

Unless you are inputting an ovulation date based on BBT/OPK then Flo is just guessing. Your follicular phase can change length month to month for lots of reasons, even if you're normally regular. I'd expect your period in the next couple of days.

Does anyone on here see a faint positive ? I’ve posted this in a Facebook group and 4 people are saying they see lines. In person I’ve inspected them and I cannot see any other line apart from one. Now I’m confused

Don’t have a clue what BBT or OPK mean haha!! Just looked back at my Flo app and I was logging watery / creamy discharge 2 days after by predicted ovulation day so I’m thinking now mabye I ovulated late. But then I posted this photo on a facebook group and people are saying they can see a faint line which is now messing with my head as I can’t see any line in person!
