Can being ill (snotty and coughy) cause a missed or late period??

I'm 4 days late, I'm usually pretty regular, so I've tested for pregnancy twice, both negative. We've been TTC so I'm getting my hopes up a little, but I'm also ill, so I'm wondering if that's just messed up my cycle.

Not a doctor and I don't want to give you false hope, but I got a cold when I had gotten pregnant. Pregnancy (to my knowledge) lowers our immune system to avoid fighting the fetus, making it more likely to get ill. When in doubt, see a GP Good luck 😊

I was 5 days late and I’ve also been ill but my AF came yesterday… I’d test in a few days.

I’ve been exactly the same but have been reluctant to test 🤦🏽‍♀️ my LH tests have been very dark for about 4 days as well - keep us updated girly!xx

Same with the first commend, and again don’t want to give false hope. But I also felt very sick (cold, throat, chills) and got a positive test 2 days later. Could be a coincidence but I thought it was strange. It was just a 24 hour thing but it was bizarre!

Thanks everyone!! I'll give it a couple more days and test again!! I'll let yous know 🥰
