Overdue

Hi ladies,

I'm feeling so incredibly unsure right now! I've always had a 28 or 29-day cycle and I've been off the pill for ages (let's just say quite a while) and in February we decided we'd like a little miracle. So stopping the pill isn't an option anymore and I know my cycle pretty well. My period usually started with a bit of brownish blood for 1 or 2 days followed by 3-4 days of heavy flow. Nothing special and I know it can sometimes be different...

I'm currently 2 or 3 days late with no sign of my period coming, my temperature is still (for me) high, fluctuating between 36.6 and 36.8, whereas in the beginning it was usually 35.9 - 36.1. However, the pregnancy test has been negative for 2 days now.... nerve-wracking!

I know there's nothing else to do but just "wait", but my question is, are there any ladies who had a negative test at first and only later positive? If so, how much later and which tests do you recommend? When should I take another test?

My ovulation was on May 2nd, which I found out based on temperatures.

Thanks in advance

    Maybe you ovulated later? So that you'd also get your period a bit later or test positive later. I've read here more often that people only test positive after a week. Otherwise, wait a few days. I know that's not what you want to hear, but there's nothing else you can do, haha. Otherwise, go to your GP for a blood test. The Kruidvat 2v5 or Action tests are pretty good. Good luck, girl.

    I took an early test (could’ve tested 4 days earlier) the day before my expected period, and it was super negative. I figured I was just in my period, so I kept taking my pills. Four days later, I took another test and got a big fat positive line—pregnant!
