7 days late and negative hpt

We’ve been TTC for about a year now. I’m currently 8 days late (due last Wednesday) with no signs of AF. I’ve been super hungry, exhausted, twinges/mild cramping, headaches, and milky CM. Yesterday woke up with swollen lymph nodes and got a sore throat last night which went away this morning. I’ve gotten only super faint positives on FRER for the last week, makes me think they’re indents since they don’t seem to be getting darker. They’re just a light faint pink.

What are your experiences? Anyone been this late? Did you period start or did you end up getting a positive? Did you have to go to the doc for a blood test?

My last three pregnancies which all ended in miscarriage, I got a fairly strong positive right around when AF was due or a few days before.
