Advice needed (confused and frustrated)

Hi, So, my partner and I have been trying for just over a year now. My periods have always been like clockwork and never late. In August I had an early misscaridge but my periods went back to normal pretty quickly. However, this month, a few days before my period was due I started experiencing nausea, headaches, tiredness and tender breasts. My period is now five days late (very unusual for me) yet all the pregnancy tests I have took have came back negative. I was just wondering if anyone knew any reasons for this or has experienced something similar? Thanks

    Hello,

    It can all be down to how your body builds pregnancy hormone.  If you're only 5days late then you would only be 4-5wks pregnant & sometimes women don't have enough hormone at this point to provide an accurate test result (many GPs will advise to wait until 2wks overdue for a more accurate result).

    It is hard waiting/not knowing but with both my girls I didn't get BFPs until 6-8wks pregnant.  Best wishes & fingers crossed for you.
