seven days late

Jess
Seven days late and another negative this morning 😩. Is it because I am testing with cheapies? Can something else throw my periods off this much? I don't use birth control pills. Can anyone relate?
UPDATE: Now 10 days late but afraid to test again. I think I'm going to wait a couple more days and take a FR. If it's still negative, I'm making an appointment for blood work. I haven't been this late since the last time I was pregnant almost 17 years ago.Â
