Ok so I'm having a rough time conceiving
Long story short I'm 4 days late! Taken 3 tests (cheap strips) all been negative! I had sex the day after I ovulated (10 days ago) my last period was the 30th of Jan!
I've not had my usual period type cramps days before I've had pinching type pains and aches,I'm tired,feel sick more than usual,when I lie on my tummy my boobs ache! I don't feel like I'm going to start my period! I'm losing the will to live! Can anybody help?

I've done a test this morning and it was definitely negative! I don't hold much hope tbh I think I'll start my period next week unfortunately

I wouldn't say they were nil I would say it's too early to test. I would wait til wed or Thursday and test again. I think until you were getting fairly regular periods best to rely on ovulation tests cervical mucous or temperature

Ahhhhh so this is where I'm going wrong! I only downloaded it as my gp recommended it to me as it's one she uses! So my chances of being pregnant are nil?!
I start using my own calendar from now on Thankyou so much

I personally would not rely on phone app for when period is due. I would go by your ovulation tests. So when you get a positive test you will normally ovulate 12-36 hours later, let's just say the next day to make it simpler. So you got a positive test on 21St so most likely ovulated on the 22nd. Period usually arrives 14 days after ovulation so going by that it would be due to arrive on the 8th of March. Today is only 9 days post ovulation for you, wait until next week and test again.
When you come off hormonal contraception it can take a while for periods to settle down into a regular cycle length, until that happens you can't really rely on apps to predict when it will arrive.

Hope I haven't confused matters, good luck for testing next week!!

My body is clearly screwed up
I had the depo last August (only had 1 that year!) didn't have it when I was due it end of November but as I've ovulated does this mean it's out of my system? Even when I had the depo my periods have been bang on time every month! It was only the beginning of Feb I've started taking ovulation tests

I got a faint bfp at 8dpo, it can happen

Pitchforktotheface · 03/03/2017 19:39

Are you counting right? Are your cycles only 20 days normally?

haveacupoftea · 03/03/2017 19:33

10dpo is too early for ICs to show anything.

ethelfleda · 03/03/2017 17:26

Op - you're 4 days late but ovulated 10-11 days ago? So is your LP only usually 6 - 7 days??
