Can you test neg on a test, even when your late?

I’m 8 days late. Which I never am. I’ve been off my BC since October, since my husband and I decided to start a family. I’ve taken 2 tests and both say no, however I had very very light spotting Sunday and Monday. Minor dots when I whipped. Some cramping, nothing like before my period tho. And my chest HURTS. The sides of my chest feel like they are burning, tingling and heavy. And the veins in my chest are way more noticeable than ever before. I keep reading you can test a day before your missed period and get a positive and here I am 8 days late and nothing 😐 but I just feel different . My chest has never hurt this bad. Could this be normal? Could it just be too early? I’m so not one to post , but I’m hopeful other women have had symptoms before getting their positive test.
