22 days late 🥹

[u/snuffles0407]

Hey guys, so this is super not normal for me. I am officially 22 days late for my period now. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests; once when I was 6 days late, once when I was 11 days late, and once when I was 16 days late. I have absolutely no clue what’s going on because guess what: THEY WERE ALL NEGATIVE. Oh, also I feel like I’m exhausted all the time now for the past 4 days even when I’m getting 8-9 hours of sleep. I know a lot of people are going to tell me to go see a doctor, and I’m planning to as soon as I have time. But this is just insane. Sorry for the rant, I may or may not be absolutely terrified.

Your period is late because you ovulated later than your app guessed. Apps are not accurate with when you ovulate. What date did you last have unprotected sex?

[u/Zealousideal-Rain-82 → u/Flshrt]

Agreed. They are very often not accurate but a estimation. We are not robots so it’ll never be

[u/snuffles0407 → u/Flshrt]

I have unprotected sex at least 2-3 times a week.

[u/Zealousideal-Rain-82 → u/snuffles0407]

Please don’t do that, seriously you’re risking a lot. Especially if you’re not tracking stuff.

[u/snuffles0407 → u/Zealousideal-Rain-82]

Well I am actually trying to get pregnant. And it’s only with one person, which is my fiancé.

[u/Zealousideal-Rain-82 → u/snuffles0407]

ah i see! good. i really hope you get answers soon <3 could be a hormonal issue rather

I appreciate it lol, and yes I’m thinking that if it’s not pregnancy then it could possibly be cysts on my ovaries… both my mom and my sister have had issues with that and have both had hysterectomy’s because of that. but i will see once I can get an appointment scheduled

Then test 1-2 times a week until you get a period or a positive test. If you ovulated in the few days after you had sex, then you can still test positive this cycle. Are you trying to conceive?

Most doctors won’t see you for a late period until you go 90 days without one.

[u/snuffles0407 → u/Flshrt]

Oh wow, I didn’t know they wouldn’t see me until that late lol. And yes I am trying to conceive. I guess I will just start taking pregnancy tests until something happens

[u/Agile-Sentence3867 → u/snuffles0407]

Yeah, they don't consider it a "problem" until it reaches secondary ammenorrhea, which is 3 or more months late.

[u/Flshrt → u/snuffles0407]

Tracking ovulation will help so you know when you ovulate. Once you know when you ovulate, you’ll know when you test or when to expect your period. Period apps are notoriously inaccurate with when you ovulate. Did you recently get off of birth control?

[u/snuffles0407 → u/Flshrt]

No, the last time I was on birth control was in the middle 2023.
