Hey, ladies..

BFN and three days late for AF! My bb's are so sore, up into my armpits and a bit of colostrum comes out if squeezed.. I have been checking my cervix and if AF were going to come, I guess it would be down low and dry, but NOPE, it's not; it's high, soft, closed, wet and practically invisible against the wall up there! I am also having a bit of hip pain, which has happened in both of my first two pregnancies, almost immediately. So, my question is... I just really want to know has anyone had a BFN after three days, only to find out later that is is a big fat +++++++! ????

AF arrived for me too :( just a long cycle

I definitely didn't ovulate late.

I can always tell whether I've ovulated or not. It's very very obvious for me. Equally, when I've had delayed ovulation before I've been aware that I didn't quite make it and my body tries to ovulate again 10-14 days later. The longest lp I've ever had was 21 days and that was my 2nd cycle off the pill, otherwise its always around 13 days.

Yes, suppose I could have ovulated late, not very good at keeping track of it all really, mainly because af is always so bang on time I just vagluely calculate based on that using my phone. DH was away skiing when I thought I was ovulating, but perhaps my body postponed it for his return home! Lol! Will have to wait and see. I'm never late for anything so this is really bugging me!

AF arrived for me so just a big long cycle for meHmm

Good luck everyone still waitingSmile

Leeslocket12 · 25/03/2013 15:53

Yes I suspect for some reason I have ovulated late :( which means I am sure we will have missed the slot lol! Next month im throwing dates out the window and were just going to have sex! If AF hurries up and comes!

Is it possible that you ovulated later than normal/not at all? If your ovulation is delayed for one reason or another then your period will be correspondingly delayed, so you are not actually "late".

It is not possible to ovulate and not have a period. Once you have ovulated a chain reaction is set on place with the hormones. If you are not pregnant then your uterine lining will shed approx 14 days (though can be anything between 10 and 18 days) after ovulation.

Leeslocket12 · 25/03/2013 14:51

Only 2 days and I do wonder if thinking about it all the time has made me late but my periods have been so on the dot up until now! Fx for everyone x

Trinpy · 25/03/2013 14:23

How many days late are you Lees?

I can't belive I am currently on 24 dpo!I've never had a lp this long before. Can you ovulate but not have a period (assuming you're not pregnant that is!)? I had more bad af cramps this morning but not as bad as yesterday.Last night I suddenly felt really lightheaded and almost fainted, I don't know whether that could be related. I think if I get Friday without either a period or a bfp then I will ask my doctor about it.

Hope the others on this thread are having better luck!

Leeslocket12 · 25/03/2013 12:31

Any updates guys? I'm in the same boat!

essie81 · 25/03/2013 09:09

Same here. 3 days late and cycle usually like clockwork, BFNs from internet cheapies. Wondering wether to go and buy a proper one. Haven't told DH as I don't want to get his hopes up! Feeling a bit sicky, but that could be cos I'm stressing myself out! Confused.

Trinpy · 24/03/2013 14:06

I'm 9 days late. Bfns on the ic's. I've had light cramping for 2 weeks now. My cervix has been really low since yesterday and I've had really really bad af cramps for about 30 mins this morning, but nothing since then. I know I ovulated almost 3.5 weeks ago - definitely wasn't delayed or missed.

God knows whats going on.

littlepinkfizz · 24/03/2013 12:28

Clutching at straws here but were your tests the 10mul Internet ones? Hoping for BFP as AF due Wednesday but getting bfn today on the cheapies.stubbed

I do know of people not getting BFP until week after AF due so not unheard of ..

NoMoreMarbles · 24/03/2013 12:04

I'm in the same boat...

AF was due last weekend, still not here. I'm pretty sure I'm not preggers as I have had 3 BFNs (well the first looked a bit faint line-y but the other 2 were clear as day BFNs) all with FMU so hard not to think they are right...

My cycles used to be all over the place but in the last year they have been on the nose regular (I could even predict down to the time of day it would arrive) I have recently lost just under 2st so I think it may be something to do with that and I can't get excited as I have been TTC for 5.5 years so this has happened before as well as having multiple MCs in that time tooHmm

I have my fingers crossed for you OP and the others who are waiting...

Stubbed56 · 22/03/2013 18:27

Yes this happened to me. Two negative tests when I was 1 and 3 days late, then positive at 5 days. I'm pretty sure it's because I was using cheap pregnancy tests from the Internet for the first two...

Penny31 · 22/03/2013 18:25

It's very frustrating isn't it! Will keep you updated!

I will keep you updated. I am going to test on Sunday morning, by then I will be 5 days late, then on Monday I'm going to make an appointment.

Also, last month no AF, but 3 BFN HPT's and one Negative Blood Test.. the doctor said I must have just missed one, but not preggers.. but she said if I missed another that she'd arrange an ultrasound. Honestly, I do not think I was pregnant when all of this occurred because I am fairly certain that I O'd this month.. but now what the heck?

Also, keep me up to date as well, Penny31!

Hi I'm 6 days late and still BFN, not having any symptoms like you. Sorry I can't be of more help but just to let you know I'm in a similar position to you and will be interested to know what happens over next few days!
