5 days late but neg. hpt

ok so we are not trying to get pg but not on any birth control just keeping track of my cycle which averages from 28-31 days. here i am on day 35 no period, no signs of being pg. but i took a hpt anyways - actually 2 - and they were both neg. what the heck? has anyone had this happen. i was breaking out alot about 2 wks ago but other than that no signs of pg or the arrival of my period. i am so confused. anyone have this happen? could a pg test be wrong this late?

 

I'm not sure, it might be worth it to call your doctor and see if they can give you a blood test.

 

Have you been under a lot of stress? That can affect your cycle. Those test are usually right after the missed cycle.

 

nope no more stress than normal...

 

I just went through this. My LMP was 8/17 and as of this morning still nothing. I tested a few days ago and it was negative. I was really starting to worry. I was breaking out like crazy but still nothing I foundthis site and put in my info. This cycle was 40 daya. Never that long for me. Im going to keep track from here from now on to ee if maybe its just outta wack or something. I did finally start today though!!!!

good luck

 

I went through the same thing when the boys were about 19 months. I was 5 days late (and on the pill). I'm never that late so I did 2 HPT's and went to the doctor. All negative. I started the same day I got the blood work done. I think the stress of being late made me even later!

 

like the others said, probably stress or something... the only real sure way of knowing when to expect your period is knowing when you ovulated... I am between 27 and 35 days... drives me crazy, so I just try to see if I can mark down when I think I'm ovulating... (cervical mucous etc...) good luck staying calm.

 

Yes, 2 months in a row I was insanely late. The first month I was 5 days late and the 2nd month I went over 40 days with no AF. I was not pregnant and started taking BCP to regulate my cycle. I never had a problem before, I don't know if it is stress induced or what but I definitely experienced the same thing.

 

i've had weirdness all throughout the last year. in july i had a 2 week cycle (yeah... only 2 weeks between. so much fun) and then i went a month and a half without any sign of a period. when it finally showed up it was barely there.

in my case i knew it was just hormonal weirdness and didn't need a pregnancy test. because... you know...

 

With both my son and the twins I took a pregnancy test when I was late (but only a couple of days) and they both came up negative. I didn't get a positive until I was over a week late. So you never know...

 

got my period this morning - a full week late! so wierd - have never been late like this before. was wondering if i was pregnant but miscarried early...and the hcg was too low to detect. or maybe i was just oddly late. oh well. at least i wont be pregnant in on our trip to japan. i love raw fish.

 

2 months ago my af was TEN days late. for no reason at all! my cycles are always 23-25 days and suddenly it was day 35 before she came.... i have no idea why, neither does my ob!

maybe it's a twin mama thing?

gl!

Changes in exercise level or diet can mess with it too. I started running a few months ago and have been all over the place since then.

 

I'm glad you got AF.
