5 Days Late - negative blood test

Britt • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I am never, ever late (sometimes a day early, but never late), so since we are TTC and I am 5 days late I was just convinced I had to be pregnant, but I keep getting negative tests. I asked my doctor to run a HCG blood test on me today, and it came back negative too! Which means I must have 0 HCG, and I would have SOMETHING by now if I was pregnant. I asked what to do about not starting my period and they said to call by Friday if I still have not started. This obviously effects our conception efforts too. I’m so so so devastated. I hate today.
