Late period but negative tests - anyone else been here?

I'm 8 days late. I've done four tests over the past week, all negative. I'm normally like clockwork, 28 days every single time.

We're not actively trying but not avoiding either, if that makes sense. I don't have any other symptoms apart from feeling a bit tired, but I've got a toddler, so I always feel tired.

Is it possible to be pregnant with negative tests at this point? Or is something else going on?

It's possible but unlikely at 8 days late with several negatives. Stress, illness, travel, even a change in exercise can throw your cycle out. Mine went to 41 days once after a really bad flu.

Have you been ill or under a lot of stress lately? Mine disappeared for nearly two months when I went back to work after mat leave. The body does weird things.

If it gets to a few weeks and still nothing, worth a GP appointment just to check things over. They can do a blood test too, which is more sensitive than the sticks.

Thinking about it, I did go back to work three weeks ago and my son has had every bug going from nursery. So probably that. Will give it another week and then ring the GP. Thanks all.
