5 days late?

[Kay98]

Af is 5 days late, been ttc for a year and a half and af has never been late in my entire life.
Multiple negative tests, is there any chance I ovulated late/ implanted late?
Or am I out of the running this month 😞

[bettymoo212]

I don't have the answer but it's so frustrating, isn't it? I'm currently 11 days late with no sign that AF is coming. It's so hard not knowing what is happening!

[Kay98]

It’s so frustrating, driving myself crazy. Never ever been late in my whole life, I have the doctors tomorrow but I don’t know if i should bring this up or not?

[bettymoo212]

I would say if you're going anyway for something else, it can't hurt to mention it and see what they say.

I found out with my first pregnancy on cd 67! Ended up only being 1-2 weeks on a clear blue digital too! Turned out I’d just ovulated late. Don’t lose hope

[Kay98]

Have you heard anything Betty? Any sign of AF?

[bettymoo212]

No, nothing here - 13 days late and counting :(

How about you? What did the doctor say?

[Kay98]

I’m thinking this is a vvvfl but holding out a couple of days to see

[LKRJM]

I can see it, maybe get a FRER, when I had a faint line on a cheapie, it was quite strong on a FRER x

[Kay98]

I’m in UK so dunno if I’d be able to find one of them, any alternatives?

[physicskate]

First response early response (frer) can be found at many boots in the uk.

[LKRJM]

I’m in the UK too, can get them from boots, Morrison’s (not Sainsburys) etc. Google FRER so you have a picture. I also got a faint positive on a Morrison’s/Wilkinson’s own before my FRER but the FRER was definitely positive x

[bettymoo212]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Kay98!

[Kay98]

I’ll take a trip to boots tomorrow and see if I can find one 🤞

[Sizeofalentil]

That's a positive test!

[Kay98]

I’m gonna get a FRER just to double check anyway, no harm in checking

[Kay98]

got an FRER and the result was negative I think so I dunno 🤷🏻‍♀️

[LKRJM]

How concentrated was your urine? I can see something on your FRER too although can’t tell if it has colour, maybe you ovulated/implanted late. I’d wait a few days and test again, or if you have another FRER try first morning urine x

[Kay98]

That was first morning urine, I’ll wait a couple days and see what happens, driving me nuts though 🙃

[Kay98]

I think it must have been false positives because I took a test this morning and negative with fmu

[deathbycats]

Ah that's frustrating.

It's the not knowing, isn't it? I hope you find out either way soon.

[Mrsmummy90]

I didn't get my bfp until af was 10 days late. Hope you get yours soon xx

[Kay98]

I’ve had some really light pink spotting today but no sign of it getting heavier at all. Any ideas what this could be?

[deathbycats]

Based on how I get my periods, I normally get a day of light spotting before it comes on full whack. It should probably be too late for an implantation bleed at this point unless you ovulated late?

[Kay98]

I had a miscarriage late January so I’m unsure when I’m ovulating. Normally for me my period comes full whack straight away, no spotting or anything

[deathbycats]

Ah of course. It could well be implantation at this stage then, as miscarriage can throw your cycle a little as your body recovers. It’s normal for your first cycle after MC to be out of kilter with how long they usually are.
