I've been sexually active all month not sure when I ovulate I was due on today and had nothing.. I took two clear blue digital tests both negative but I feel they may be wrong coz I'm eating more and put on 3 pounds in two weeks. I get a sicky feeling and even when I eat I want more. I'm not sure if I have other symptoms part from the odd occasion stomach cramps that go away.. I've been stressing a bit just want to know your experiences.

yes, it's quite possible to get a false negative if you test too early. Wait a few more days and try again.

How many days do you recommend waiting.

hard to say, depends on the sensitivity of the test as well.

Some pregnancy tests can pick up the hormones better and earlier that others.

A frer is a first response you can get them in super drug etc

Go to the docs darling Smile always best doing it properly to be sure. If you are not using protection and are 5 days late, I would assume pregnancy too, so best be sure and head over to docs and rest your mind xx

Sometimes your cycle can just change for no real reason. Especially if you are stressed about something.

If you are eating more, then it isn't any surprise that you have gained weight ;)

If you are concerned, maybe see your GP? Did you come off any hormone based contraception recently? It took nearly a year for my periods to stabilise when I came off the pill.

Any update?

No I've never been on any meds or birth control. Just condoms which I obviously stopped using.

You should see a doctor. Although tests can be wrong, it's quite unusual to be this late and not get even a hint of a line. Are you quite stressed out?

You need to see the doctor if you are that late with negative pregnancy tests just so they can find out why.

Have you recently stopped hormonal contraception or might there be another reason why your cycle might be interrupted?

I wouldn't say stressed but I do panic a bit if things go wrong. And work can b a downer at times. Other than that I lead a happy life lol
