Hello Bees,
I’m a little nervous since I was supposed to get my period 4 days ago (I’m pretty regular) and it still hasn’t came. My DH and I use condoms every time but it slipped off one time this month and this whole being a couple days late is freaking me out. I had a pregnancy test in my cabinet but it was expired (3 months expired). Yesterday, I took it anyway and it came back negative. We are traveling to Mexico next week for our belated honeymoon which puts even more pressure on me NOT to be pregnant. I know stress can cause a delay but I can’t help but worry! I’m going to go tonight and get another test so my question is, how many days were you late when you got a positive pregnancy test??
Thanks In Advance

It sounds like it would be very unlikely to be pregnant if a condom just slipped off one time, it takes more time than that usually, but it isnt unheaard of. Like you said, you may be stressing yourself out with worrying about a ppt. Maybe just do another test to ease your mind.
I got a positive a few days early, it was barely noticable I really had to strain, but I already kind of had a feeling. Best of luck 😀

My positive came before my period was due. I’d pick up another test to make sure, it would be accurate now (even a cheap dollar store one).

If you got a negative 4 days after your period was due (and you’re regular), it is very unlikely you’re pregnant and, even if you are, that the pregnancy is viable (not impossible, however). Most women get their positives a few days before their period is due. As you can only get pregnant around the time you ovulate (usually around 14 cd), if the condom slipped off many days before this, I would almost guarantee that you’re not pregnant.

I tested 4 days before my missed period and got a bfp. I would say you are not pregnant.

I tested postive 5 days before I was due – the second line was faint, but it was there. I also tested the day after I missed my period (technically 1 day late) and got a blazing positive.

I tested postive the day I was due, but it was a very strong positive (second line slightly stronger than control line, 2-3 weeks on a digital). I’m pretty sure I would have gotten a positive several days earlier if I had tested then.

I tested 3 days before I missed my period and had a positive test, it was faint, but still positive. You would of had a positive test if you were 4 days late and have regular cycles.

I tested 3 days past due period but only because I kind of forgot when my period was due, so I didn’t test early. I would take another test just for more reasurrance of that negative so you’re able to relax on your trip more!!

I didn’t test until I was 4 days over due and I got a super strong BFP. However, I did have have AF be late by 2 weeks (!!) recently and was convinced I was pregnant again, but I wasn’t. I was just stressed so that can happen too. I have always been very regular as well.
