13 days late - negative tests

Was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. Periods have always been regular - 28/29 days and been same since giving birth last year and getting my period back a year ago in October.
I'm now 13 days late, when I was about 3 days late I had a very faint positive hcg test (probably indent or evap). I was convinced I was pregnant, sore boobs (which I don't normally get before period) backache, twinges and cramps. Every test since has been negative, if I feel like I've seen a faint line I'm probably imagining it as I'm looking so closely! Regardless there's no progression in lines darkening, the one I took today was basically stark white.
I had a HVG blood test at the doctors last Friday which came back 0.2 so not pregnant.
I have the odd cramps and I'm bloated and hungry a lot but apart from that, no sign of AF.
I'm getting really worried as this has never happened before and we wanted to start ttc next month so feels like I have no idea what's going on with my cycle. I have been testing ovulation since I missed my period, and the highest it's probably gone up to on the strips is 0.45 which it stated was low anyway and basically come back down, so I doubt I have ovulated x

Molar pregnancy? Keep tracking and I wish you the best of luck.

I randomly missed a period a couple of years ago.

My periods had always been bang on 25 days and suddenly I just didn’t have one. It then just returned a month later as if totally normal!

V bizarre but when I looked it up, apparently quite common.

Hi both, thank you for your responses :)
So this morning I got my period! To be honest I had given up on it and assumed I'd just be waiting till my next one now.
I'm hoping it does sort of return to "normal" now as I'm a bit unsure of when I'll be ovulating. One app has my period due next in 29 days so like previously and another not until January! I'll try testing for LH once my period finishes and fingers crossed I'm ovulating all ok
