Hi Natalie,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the delicate problem you are facing.

As a physician I would like to tell you that even though your cycles are 28 days and regular there are chances that your period comes 3-4 days sooner or later every 6-8 months. So, I would suggest that you should keep trying.

Also, I would like to tell you that even after 10 days your period doesn't come you should repeat UPT test after 10 days as both the tests detects levels of HCG hormone in blood or urine and there are chances that the levels produced are not detectable at that point of time. So, would like you to keep fingers crossed and keep trying.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
