Period 4 days late negative hpt

Christine
Hi ladies. Wondering if any of you have experienced anything similar to this. My period is 4 days late and I took a home test yesterday and it was negative. The last time my period was this late I ended up being pregnant with my daughter but at this point last time my test was positive. I'm having some cramping and feeling like AF is going to start any minute but every time I run to the bathroom nothing. Has anyone gotten a positive HPT after testing negative at this point? If it helps I used a First Response early detection test.
