Has anyone had a delayed/missed period by 4–5 days with repeated negative pregnancy tests and still ended up getting a positive later?

For context:
- usually have pretty regular 27–29 day cycles
- currently ~5 days late
- multiple negative home tests
- even had a quantitative blood hCG done today that came back 0.01/negative

But I still haven’t gotten my period yet and this cycle feels different than usual. No real cramps, just lightheadedness/fatigue and some discharge changes.

I know the blood test is probably definitive, but part of me is still wondering if late ovulation could explain delayed positives this late. Has this happened to anyone, or did your period eventually just come late after an “off” cycle?
