I have a late period but negative pregnancy test: Advice?

My fiance’ and I had unprotected sex over 2 weeks ago. I had a doctor’s appointment last Thursday at the Clinic to talk to her about a different kind of birth control because I haven’t been taking the pill regularly. I told her there was a chance I could be pregnant since I had unprotected the week before. They did a blood test (10 days since unprotected) and it ended up coming back negative. I was supposed to get my period on Saturday and it is now currently late. I took an at home pregnancy test Saturday afternoon and that came back negative as well. I feel different. I’ve been nauseous consistently in the morning and a little more tired than usual. Has anyone else had a negative blood test and a negative at home and found out later they were pregnant? I plan on making an appointment if my period becomes a week late.

Yes, i got a blood test done at the hospital since i was late on my period came back negative took a home test came back negative. Waited a week took another at home test it was positive . Ended up being 4 weeks pregnant at that time. No idea why the blood test came back negative my doctor was just as confused as me

Retest when you are about 5-7 days late. Sometimes if its too early it wont come up positive. Happened to me once. I was 4 days late. Took a pregnancy test it came back negative. Got my period like 2 days later

Wait til a week after missed period to test again.

It happens sometimes if your hormone level isn’t very high. Had a girl I knew that had 5 kids and with all had 2 or 3 blood tests before it would show

Stressing about it can also cause a missed or late cycle. It may really be negative.

I didn’t get a positive until I was 9 weeks. Every single test was negative until then.

You probably ovulated late I wouldn’t worry

Agree with all of these^ but also if you weren’t taking the pill regularly that can mess up your cycle as well

Take the test with your first trip to the bathroom in the morning. It will have the highest level of hormones to detect a pregnancy
