Missed period…no BFP…cervical mucus ?

Gemma

So my period is 3 days late… I have taken a test (cheap strips you buy online) it came back negative this morning…

I’ve checked my cervix and it feels high..

My cervical mucus is egg white texture with cloudly colouring and clear colouring

My question is… what is cervical mucus like when early stages of pregnancy and what is cervical mucus like day before a period…

Could it be I’ve tested too early or am I just being too hopeful
