Too early to test?

Hi everyone,

Desperately trying to conceive again and I’ve been super patient waiting until the day before my period is due. But I only remembered to test this evening. I’ve had no signs of my period coming (I usually get cramps and spotting two days before) and I’ve taken a pregnancy test and it’s negative 😭 do you think I’ve just taken it too late in the day and should try tomorrow or is my period just late?
