5 days late!

Just looking for a bit of advice really?

Basically AF was due on the 30th of December, so as of today is 5 days late! And she's no where to be seen!

I took a test on the day my AF was due as I just felt a bit weird (spotty chin, headachy, bleeding teeth, cramping, backache). It's was BFN. Then I retested yesterday when I was 4 days late and again BFN.

What's going on? I've had horrendous back ache all day and keep running to the loo to see if she's here! Nada!

Thanks in advance! Grin xx

I know how you feel, it's so disheartening when you get a BFN!

I think you're right in thinking that you test about two weeks from ovulation, before that I don't think it would show?

I don't track ovulation so for all I know I could have ovulated late perhaps? 10 days late tomorrow and going to test in the morning!

Hi Chocky,

I'm not sure when to test. If I'm right and I ovulated later then should I test 2 weeks from that date?
I'm already 3 days late but still showing negative on tests. So if I did ovulated late then I suppose I have to wait 2 weeks from that day which would mean I need to test next Sunday.
Do you think that sounds about right?

Because I normally in my normal cycle ovulate around day 14. But this cycle I didn't I ovulated on day 24?!

I'm scared to test again as I'm scared of another bfn!

Hello Kaleesi !

Hi ladies! Can I join?

I'm currently on cd31 of a normally 28 day cycle. Been testing since just before af should of been due and all bfn. Still no sign of af.
I think I may have ovulated late around New Years. So hoping there's still a chance I'm pregnant. I've been warmer than normal every night for the past week as DH has complained about the fact I'm so hot at night when I'm normally always cold!

None of my usual signs of af. Fx I get a bfp soon. I'm trying to hold off testing as the bfns are so disheartening.
Sending baby dust all your way xx

Still no AF here, and no symptoms of pregnancy or period starting Hmm

Reluctant to take another test as I don't want to see another negative Sad

Good luck to you both.

I was 10 days late before AF eventually appeared and so I made an appointment to see my fertility clinic doctor. She felt it was most likely an anovulatory cycle. Apparently these are reasonably common? I had never had one before...

Anyway, AF came and then the following month I got my BFP! Maybe your bodies are gearing up for a really fertile month? Good luck!

BFN ....I think?! Hmm a sort of shadow line appeared with in the 3 minute time limit, and stayed there but don't think it has any colour! It's so faint too I don't think I could even take a picture of it!

Stupid phone! Wink as I was saying testing in a mo with a FRER, if it's still a BFN I'm giving up and it's obviously something else!

Let me know how you get on! When do you plan on testing again?

FX for us !! Xxx

Hello there!
I'm 3 days late and also in exactly the same boat. I've searched the Internet as that's what we all do isn't it! I'm still so hopeful that I may have a positive soon but tested the day before AF due and BFN, tested the day due and also the day after and all BFN. Haven't tested today as can't handle another negative and just want to know what is going on.
I've made a dr appointment for next week which will be a week overdue to hope they can do a test and to help me either way.
I have had regular 26 day cycles and been TTC for three months and just wish I could get the BFP!
The internet tells me that it's fairly common and people have got BFP after a few days and weeks and a few have said AF eventually came so at a total loss!
Wishing you a result either way soon Smile
