6 days late, negative test??

NewUserx profile image

I’m 6 days late on my period. I have taken so many tests and they are all negative.

I don’t come on late often and I usually get spotting a few days before I come on but I have had nothing yet.

My last period was 8th April!

Could I still be pregnant if I keep getting negatives??

Thank you in advance I’m going crazy!x

So even six days after my period was due, I got a negative test and my little girl is now 9 months old. Around the time I found out I was pregnant I was adamant I was coming on my period, because I was late and the pains felt like that "Im going to come on feeling"

What tests are you using? First response early detection tests are most recommended or a cheap one from the shop. Don't bother with clear blue xxx

Thank you for the reply.

Yeah I keep feeling like I’m going to come on but then it doesn’t happen.

I will have to try a first response one, Iv just been trying cheap ones from chemist & supermarkets.

How far where you gone when you found out?

Sorry about slow replies xxx

🤔 Negative test results

If the test result is negative, you may not be pregnant. However, negative results are less reliable. For example, if you do a pregnancy test too early, you could be pregnant, but there may not be enough HCG in your body to give a positive test result.

Pregnancy tests vary in their sensitivity (how soon they can detect HCG and what level of HCG needs to be present). You can find information on the packaging about how sensitive your test is.

If you still think you're pregnant after a negative result, wait a few days and try again. Speak to your GP if you get a negative result after a second test but your period hasn't started.

Hiya NewUserx sorry you going through this. Once it happen to me that I was late for 3 months !!!! I was buying test like a mad woman. Saying that I was also working - mentally and physically hard job. That time very stressed.

Suddenly my period decided to come like nothing happened. When I asked my GP what happened ? She said stress at work + constant worry when it's going to come = too much for my body and kept postponing my period.

This is how my body can react to stress.

Everyone is different.

Remember we are going through difficult/new times.

Thank you for your reply.

Wow 3 months!

I was only a week late and it’s driving me mad so don’t know how you felt.

I know I was buying so many tests too.

I finally came on this morning and I feel relieved to finally know that nothing is wrong with me!xxx

Is it not possible that the day could be because you might be stressed about something? That usually causes delays

It could be. I think this lockdown stuff has been stressing me out more than I realised x

Are you in lockdown with other women? Apparently a lot of women in lockdown are experiencing delays or early periods because their periods are synching up with those of the other women in the house.

Lots of women are having weird period experiences full stop right now though :D I'm glad you're ok now though.

Yeah, I had forgotten about that. I went to boarding school and that used to happen.
