8 days late and still Negative

Stephany

I am 8 days past my period date. Clear blue is negative. Should I test again?

**Sorry for the long post**

My husband had a vasectomy reversal 3 years ago but then COVID hit and we weren’t able to follow up with his surgeon out of state. So to begin with, I don’t know if it even was successful. Neither of us wanted the guilt of being the “broken one” so we never went for further testing anywhere else.

Usually before my period I will breakout, be emotional, and crave sweets. This month those symptoms came 2 weeks before my period rather than the week before like normal. Before my period should have started I had some VERY LIGHT spotting - pinkish when I wiped but nothing in my underwear.

I finally made an appointment with a GYN for next month to get back on birth control and eliminate periods. I’m typically very regular with occasional 1-2 day fluctuations. But then this month, I’m super late.

I tested this morning with my first pee, and it was negative. This is basically our last chance to get pregnant before we officially throw in the towel and move on with our life. So is it all in my head? Am I making the symptoms happen because I want to be pregnant so bad?

Should I test again with a different brand?

Should I ask my PCP for a pregnancy blood test?

Should I just stop worrying about it and wait until my GYN appointment next month?
