Stress, too early to test positive, or could be a slight hormonal imbalance
For me low vitamin D and low iron. Also my hypothyroidism.
I would wait a few days and test again.
U could use ur blood too on a pregnancy test… I think it’ll show up early too
My daughter has PECOS.
Stress, any kind of bodily change, etc.
Your not pregnant and your stressed

Could be PCOS. Have your Ob run some tests on your hormones.
I would make a doc appointment to be safe! My best friend wasn’t trying, spotted during ovulation and then had 8 negative tests. She was pregnant. I don’t want to get hopes up but better to be safe!
Stress, hormones, a number of things, actually. Talk with your doctor. I missed a few and found out I had PCOS from my doctor.

They usually say it takes a week after your missed period to test positive so personally I waited a week or two past when I should have started and then I tested. However, as others have stated you could also miss for other reasons, but if that’s not normal for you then it’s a good chance it is implantation bleeding. That happened with my youngest. And it lasted 2 or 3 days so I thought it was just a light period and didn’t realize until the following month when I missed all together
Best advice ever stop stressing stop trying and enjoy that is coming from a mother of 5 here in a month 6. Do not think just go with the flow it is hard yes but stress doesn’t do anyone good it happens when it happens
I would say maybe a little to early to test.

Stress can cause your period to be late too
My tests came back negative with my daughter. I couldn’t keep food down or anything so I just shrugged it off thinking it was a bug. (After testing 3 times) Then a few weeks later I had to go to the OB anyways and they did a blood test and sure enough I was 6 weeks along lol.
Try using the basil temperature check instead of a calendar. Your body doesn’t always ovulate exactly when your supposed to. Check your temperature 2 to 3 times a day. At least in the morning before you get out of bed and at night right before going to bed.
Wait another week and test again. I’ve spotted when my egg planted in my uterus with both pregnancies.
Your hcg levels could be too low? Maybe too early to test?
Stress is possible or problems
I was pregnant for 3.5mo and CONTINUED to test negative for pregnancy… I was TOTALLY preggo. Very rare (I was told) but a possibility. I too had spotting
Bitch ass people stressin you out
Same thing just happened to me had a ab normal pap was seen by a oncologist now having g leep done yo see if it’s cancerous not trying to scare ya but im been trying for months
I spotted the day before my pregnancy started day 1 week 1 me and my ex thought it was my period starting I bleed for a day and then stopped 3 months later we found out I was pregnant
Comments arnt loading for me so I’m not sure what’s been mentioned. But plenty Of things could be happening. Stress, hormones, could be pregnant but not able to be detected yet. I knew I was pregnant with my last 2 and I took maybe 50 tests each😂 but eventually clue blue digital gave me that pregnant +
Apps can be wrong. They should be used as a guide only, along with tracking your bbt etc.
Lots of things can cause a late period. A late ovulation, stress, hormone imbalances, medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, pcos, endo etc
Or you could be testing too early for your hcg to show up

You can get false negatives if you are taking the test too early. Sometimes it takes a while for thr hcg to be detected. Wait a while and retest or get a blood test. Good luck

Hi I had been diagnosed with polystistic ovaries , taken 5 tests was under infertility clinic they took a blood test i was pregnant then started bleeding …she’s now 24 and I had another two after her . 4 in total not bad for someone that wasn’t fertile . They come along when they should . Go Drs ask for blood test to check HCG levels you’ll probably be surprised. Let us know xxxx
If you are older, sometimes your ovaries “go through the motions” but never actually release an egg. Or you may be pregnant, but your hormone levels have not gotten high enough to be detected by the test. Good luck.

You’re only four days late. Go get a blood test or wait a little longer and take another test. It’s still pretty early and you could be getting a false negative. You could also just end up getting your period a little late.

May be to early to test wait a few more days do you are at least a week late and test again with your first morning pee, or go to Dr for bloodwork.
Hormones, stress, sometimes it’s random. My periods were always 100% perfectly predictable and now I can have the most random odd things happen. I just experienced being 23 days late and I took multiple tests. And the in may was a spotting for most of the month

This happened with my first. Saw the doctor and I was pregnant. Take good care of yourself.
U cam spot sometimes when u ovulate its quiet common an some woman have to do several tests before a positive pregnancy test, mine wasn’t positive till the 5th test at 20 weeks, doc says happens often
Stress, anxiety, life changes. Anything really if you’re not on birth control
You may be pregnant but it’s too early for a positive test result. That’s what happened to me . I waited a couple more weeks, still no period , then had a positive test .
Too early. I had a negative test and because my stomach was queasy I had it done again. I got my wish: a daughter. I had 4 brothers and my husband had 6 brothers. Too have a daughter was a prayer come true.
Some women cannot determine pregnancy with an over the counter test. Have to get blood drawn. I would wait a week or two then call the doctor for blood work.

Sometimes we ovulate later than our usual or not at all. The spotting could be your body trying to ovulate. You can start tracking with a bbt thermometer or the FAM method.
you may very well be pregnant. Just keep taking tests, it sometimes won’t show up until later or when a doctor does a more comprehensive one than those tests you get in a drug store.
Did you or husband get vaccinated? If so, that might be the issue
Ovarian cyst, thyroid disorder, being under more stress than usual
Get your doctor to do a blood test.
Have you waited for the full period of time after your last period? I showed negative on my pregnancy tests until I was a full five weeks past my period date. I do not produce a lot of the hormone levels until after that point.
Hormone issues, PCOS, stuff like that.
An ectopic pregnancy “tubular or cervical” will do this. You body thinks it’s 1/2 pregnancy as the egg is outside uterus. It happened to me.
Why would you want another baby the shaped this world is in I Love My kids dearly but I wouldn’t want no more children the way things are going right now

How old r u? I hit menopause at 41 n it would do that before it stopped
May be too early to tell. You sometimes bleed at implantation.
Go get blood test u can have your period entire pregnancy some don’t test positive with urine test
It could be your thyroid.
Try waiting a few more days then take another test
See your OB for blood work, ultra sound for PCOS or who knows maybe a baby.
Go to the doctor home tests aren’t always accurate.

Try another test or even a blood test I was almost 4 months pregnant with my son until a urine test showed positive
This isn’t the place to ask Medical questions, and it’s actually really weird you would ask social media instead of your doctor.
Stress is one factor. Wishing you all the best.
Low thyroid hormone, stress, dehydration ect
Could be Polystitic Ovarie Syndrome or Endometriosis.

I had negative tests till i was about 12 weeks get a blood test to know for sure.
I came out negative for 6 months. I was 6 months pregnant .
Sounds like stress! And that’s not going to be helpful while trying to get pregnant.
Stress, hormones. Pcos. Most likely you could be pregnant but might miscarry
Just relax. It’ll happen
Try a test next week 
Too early for a test maybe xx
Periods can be unpredictable. Anything can throw them off. A hormone imbalance, stress, a change in diet, a new medication. Some women are so regular you can set a clock by them, but others are all over the place. If you are showing symptoms of pregnancy other than a late period, make an appointment and have it confirmed. Otherwise, don’t worry. Trust me, it will show up eventually. Aunt Flow never fails to rear her ugly head.
If you ovalate and the spotting usually is the egg implantation but you will not get a positive test you have to wait until the process is complete about a week or so. But the at home test also does not work for some women like me who have alot of hormone problems I took about 20 of them over a period of time all negative well after almost 2.5 months of no visit from aunt Flo I went to the Dr got a blood test and was positive. So I didn’t find out I was pregnant until almost 3 months with my first child. After I got the confirmation I bought several over the counters throughout my pregnancy trying the last one at 9 months and still negative. So when I got pregnant with my daughter I new right away cause I knew I missed my period and as soon as I seen the home test was neg I called the Dr to confirm and blood work was positive again.
Could be too early. Could ask for a blood test… I was pregnant with twins and I found out with a blood test… interestingly I didn’t have a positive urine test until I was over 20 weeks… doctors Could never tell me why
Did you get a Covid vaccine? My period has been off since getting mine. I’ve heard lots of women saying the same.
With my third child I had my period the whole time. After three months I just didn’t feel right went to the Dr and I was 12 weeks such a surprise
Repeat test in a week. We don’t have to know the moment we conceive.
It’s time to see a doctor, after 2 pregnancies, you may need some help? (Nurse in obgyn)
I was 30 and had issues similar and was found to be going through early menopause, so do see a doctor
Could be implantation bleeding and too early to take a test. Wait another week then retest
everyone keeps telling you that it to early to test you are getting a false positive. not true. once you miss your cycle even the day of there would be high enough HCG levels that would be detected. you are 4 days late so you most definitely should see a positive test if you were prego. I don’t think you are. i bet you had an early lighter cycle. not enough info to really know exactly what’s up.

Almost anything and everything, really.
Stress (hormones), diet, major mental or physical changes, fibroids, cysts, time period following miscarriages, sooooo many things
even after pregnancy, periods are trying to get back to normal after not having one for 9 months. it’s normal to have irregular periods after a baby! i still have irregular periods and my son is about to be 2 in november!
