Subject: Late period, need advise
I recently started exercising, my period is late. It is now 43 days on this cycle as of today, and I am anywhere from 32-34 days for a normal cycle. I took three pregnancy tests, one on May 23rd, May 26th, and May 28th, all where negative.
However, I did check my cervix, and it was harder to reach (about 5 days ago it was lower easier to reach) the opening is wide enough to get a finger tip into. I did also do a check with a cotton swab, almost felt as though it went up into my cervix and there was visibly clear mucus and a tinge of blood. My question would be, if I was pregnant, and the test results are wrong, wouldn't my cervix be closed, if I did concieve there would be no blood building up in the uterus itself, getting ready for menstration to start? Please help... I am terribly confused
Thank you in advance
