Late AF but -ive test!!

Thought I might consult the mighty MN oracle re the above problem! AF was due on Sat but has yet to turn up. I know its not long but usually am like clockwork! Two digital tests (Sat and Sun) both -ive. I feel sick and had sickness and upset tum Friday night / sat morning. I also had rotten gastric flu for first two weeks of cycle so didnt really eat for week or so and was really knocked out. BD been veeerrry limited but we are vaguely ttc no 2 so was kind of around possible ov time.
I don't feel preg except feeling queasy, could illness have delayed things or could this be false negative? Am quite terrified at thought of having two but slightly broody at the same time!! Just being driven mad by this uncertainty!! Any helpful thoughts?

thx !

Hmm I am trying the double jedi approach now.. sushi yesterday and just had a luvverly (small) glass of wine with colleagues. Not suer its the best approach but if the tests keep saying I am not pregnant??? choc* thats exciting that you are getting some signs of previous symptoms!!

choccy i went all weekend not having wine or anything then BFN. I felt cheated! Lots of people are pg without knowing it and we can;t spend the next however long depriving ourselves of stuff only to get a BFN. Obviously when we have the BFP we will be more adherent to the guidelines

...Not that I am blackmailing my un-yet conceived child...

CrazyB Woke up at half 2 this morning (ah the joys of 2 1/2 year olds) and as I was lying on my tummy (while DH dealt with DS hehe) I suddenly realised that my tummy felt like it did when I was pg the first time. Sort of tight and full (and not in a need to wee kind of way) low down. Felt like that since I woke up too.

I dunno, I'm probably just pulling sypmtoms out of a hat. Didn't think I'd achieve duffment first go again either. I've got to say I've ruddy annoyed cause I don't know what to plan for my birthday dinner next week, if I can have shellfish or not, if I can have wine or not (well not to that cause my kidneys are still a bit sick )

crazybutterflylady · 03/08/2010 12:14

Haaaaaaaa of course, duffment test, great! I can't wait to hear whether you are - let us know please!

Whitey sorry to hear about your BFN. I am so with you on the frustration of it all. I have to say I never expected to get up le duff first cycle, but the way things have gone have made me obsess. I think my body is just playing funny buggers and poking fun at me

I will not be exfoliating for a while to teach it a lesson

luckbealady · 03/08/2010 12:05

CBL I love that you had a cheeky glass of fizz to coax one or the other out!

A duffment test is to test whether you're up the duff!

Hmm well I failed compltely on the patience front and did another test this morning. First one done "first thing" and still neg! Am now positive not preg but irritated by lack of af as feel like cant start focussed efforts!!

crazybutterflylady · 03/08/2010 10:18

Hi luck - what is a duffment test?! Fingers crossed! I am also not very good at the patience thing. Oops

Baby dust right back at you! x

luckbealady · 03/08/2010 10:13

No news here, last night the doc just said 'let's do a duffment test and then if that's neg we'll start the bloods etc'. So I've dropped off the obligatory jamjar of wee this morning, but won't find out until tomorrow! Apparently patience is a virtue.

PBM when you say AF is trying to come, is it maybe just spotting??

Much baby dust to all...see it sparkle!

crazybutterflylady · 03/08/2010 09:54

Morning choccy I am not going to test until Saturday (she says). And last night I defiantly had a glass of champagne just to coax one or the other out.
Still nothing.

What do you mean about feeling pg? What symptoms? I felt really sick when I went to bed last night (reverse morning sickness?) and my boobs look WEIRD. But maybe that's because I have never really studied them before

Meant to say PBM... good luck for the Doc

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 03/08/2010 09:50

No AF here. Still BFN on the test, but starting to feel a bit pg.

Don't really know how I felt in the first month of DS (apart from a lack of AF and throwing up lots of lovely Italian food) as I wasn't trying to get pg, so wasn't looking for any signs.

crazybutterflylady · 03/08/2010 09:41

Ah thanks PBM that keeps me going

PlumBumMum · 03/08/2010 09:35

For my 2 dcs and the first month with dc3 (that should have said)

PlumBumMum · 03/08/2010 09:34

AF making an attempt to come here but still going to get bloods done as we will be TTC in next couple of months so want to get myself sorted!

For those who are TTC for the first time I got pg in the second month or trying for my 2dcs so it does happen, and with dc1 I just knew before the lines appeared on the test

Goodluck everyone

crazybutterflylady · 03/08/2010 08:44

Morning everyone
Still no sign of AF here... it's so frustrating! But no news is good news right
have a good Tuesday x

fledtoscotland · 03/08/2010 06:33

Well AF came this morming

thought it was a bit hopeful to fall pregnant on the first month again. Fingers crossed for the rest of you

Whiteybaby · 02/08/2010 19:54

PS sorry forgot.. good luck to the doctor visitors Luckbe and Plum. Hope its all ok and good news.

Whiteybaby · 02/08/2010 19:51

Ladies you have amused me.. I am trying not to test again till Weds morning but secretly wondering if tomorrow morning might be ok ! I can only cope with the uber expensive tell you in words rather than those lines in a box thingy too so am doubly paying through the nose for my poas addiction! Like others on here with dd 1 I took v little time to fall but really if I am pg its practically a miracle ...

(Rolls in lovely sparkly baby dust drift, grabbing big handfuls and throwing them around in the process)

Meant to say I'd tested as well. Of course BFN. One on Fri morning, one today. Will keep testing every day until AF arrives (well why not?).

Last time it was this late it arrived on the Tues looking very smug. Did have spotting that time though, and nothing at all now.

Waves at CrazyButterfly, Tag you're it!

So mass testing tomorrow morning then?

luckbealady · 02/08/2010 16:58

PlumBumMum I'm exactly the same, if I do a test AF is there immediately, but not this time!

I don't know what to think, I have no kids, so can't compare. Fingers crossed! Let me know what your doc says. It's so hard not to get excited...

PlumBumMum · 02/08/2010 16:31

luckbealady I'm on day 44,
I'm off to docs tomorrow although I have an underactive thyroid so I am blaming it on that, My back is abit achey, but my boobs are reall sore at night when I take my bra off, so I'm really confused,

normally if I'm late I take a test and AF comes that night, but this time I have taken 2 and still no AF!

fledtoscotland · 02/08/2010 16:25

Hi all

its our 1st month ttc #3 but in all fairness it took 2 months with ds1 and i was permenant nights then, one night with ds2 (only 11months between my boys) so anything is possible ... (need a clutching at straws emoticon!)

have a 27-28 day cycle but will try to hold off testing again til fri although the suspense is killing me

lots of un-mumsnet baby dust to you all

crazybutterflylady · 02/08/2010 16:18

Saor I agree - maybe there is something in the water I think I will test again if nothing on saturday...

Good luck y'all, let us know if anyone gets a BFP! x

luckbealady · 02/08/2010 16:15

I'm also waiting for one or t'other ie AF or a bfp! Have done 3 tests, all negative, now on day 47 and nowt. Off to the doctor's tonight.

Good luck to all you girlies waiting!

SaorAlba · 02/08/2010 16:15

I was due Friday and still no AF. Funny there's so many of us late this time. I tested Saturday afternoon and got a bfn so I'm now trying to hold out until Saturday.

pg tests are more accurate the longer past ovulation you are, so you can easily get a negative and still be pregnant in the early days.

crazybutterflylady · 02/08/2010 15:36

Hi Whiteybaby & Fled and hello again NoMoreChoc

I was ALSO due on Saturday and no sign of AF... did a test first thing this morning and BFN booo.

I just wish AF would arrive - until it does a tiny part of me thinks I could still be pg. To think this is my first month of trying...!! You'd think I could be a teeeeeeny bit more patient

Good luck to you all! xx
