AF 12 days late, pregnancy tests negative

What's going on?

I am TTC my 3rd child.

I have sensitive boobs/nipples (on-off), feel exhausted, nausea, and no period. But I have done 3 tests now, every 3/4 days since period was due, and all have said negative. I even dismantled the plastic case on one test to see if there was a postive line hiding somewhere underneth it... Blush Grin

The only thing I can think is that I got married on the day my period was due. I spent the day willing it not to come. Maybe I wished too hard! Wink

The wedding was very relaxed, I wasn't remotely stressed about it, so I don't think lack of period is stress related. Saying that, I am an emotional wreck at this time of year generally (4 year anniversary of my daughter's death in a few weeks), and I know grief and anniversaries do horrible things to me physically. So maybe it is stress related... sigh It probably is just that isn't it? :(

Additionally, I am breastfeeding, but my son is nearly 3, periods returned aaaages ago. Could I be not ovulating or something because of breastfeeding? We've been TTC for 7 months.

I'd really appriciate any words of wisdom.
Thanks! :)

Not to add to your mentalling, but there's this thread you might find interesting.

Good luck!

Hi MountainDew

I'm in the same position! Been trying for 7-8 months, AF was due on 10th Feb and is normally like clockwork. All pregnancy tests have been negative. I FEEL pg though!

I asked the chemist if I could try a different type of test - she said they're all the same so no point, just wait a bit longer. Life isn't any more stressful than normal (with fulltime work and 16 month DD) so I don't think that's it.

I've booked a doctor's appointment for Friday as it is too odd to go this long without a period and have the tests all show BFN. I hope they can do a blood test or something and put my mind to rest.

Congrats on your wedding. How exciting!
