My period is 16 days late and i tested twice with a home kit, both came negative. We are trying so i really expected a line by now and im so confused. Has this happened to anyone, was it still positive later?
I used to test like 10 times and overthink everything, it drove me mad honestly. A negative can be real or just too early. Stop stressing with strips and just get a beta hCG done, it will end the confusion.
I know this waiting is so hard, I have been there during my treatment. Home tests can show negative if hormone is still low or test done too early. A blood test is much more accurate, please do that for a real answer.
Yes it can be negative if you tested too soon or used diluted urine. Use first morning pee and a good test. If period still doesnt come in few days, go for blood test, that settles it.
16 days after what is the question, after the act or after missed period? Either way if your period is delayed and test is negative, please get a blood test (beta hCG) at lab. Home tests can miss sometimes, doctor will confirm clearly.
With my PCOS my cycles were all over the place so a late or negative test confused me a lot. Sometimes ovulation is just late. Dont assume anything, a blood test and a quick gynac visit is the safest way to know.
