6 days late! Advice needed!

Hello,
We've been trying for a baby for the past 18 months and had no joy as yet. We are due to see a infertility consultant next month after being on the waiting list for what feels like forever.
For some unknown reason, for the first time ever, I am 6 days late! Never, ever been this late before. I have done 2 pregnancy tests but both were negative. Whats going on? Anybody any ideas? I'd be very grateful for any advice, info etc.

Just a quick update for everyone who offered me support which was very much appreciated. Had 1st fertility appointment on 23rd May which went very well and we were both booked in for a number of tests etc for over the coming months. Then on monday (28th May) I decided to do a pg test. Not really sure why as I was convinced I had period pains! There was the strongest blue line I could ever have imagined! Still in serious shock but so unbelievably happy! Thanks again to those who were kind enough to offer me advice/support.

CaptainCaveman!
20 months and then bang, you were preg? That is the kind of story I like to hear!!! It's been 10 months ttc and already losing all hope that it just will never happen How was your dh's sperm count? Did you have unexplained infertility? DH wont get his count until it's been a year, everything with me seems fine but having a vag ultrasound next, what do they tell?

Good luck with your visit to the consultant next month

NineUnlikelyTales · 25/04/2007 17:15

Sorry you're not pregnant, but I'm really glad for you that you didn't have an ectopic pregnancy or anything else nasty. I was worried about you!

I can't offer any advice re the strange pains but I hope they go away soon

Mrs rabbit?

NineUnlikelyTales · 23/04/2007 19:45

Any news? I've been thinking about you mrsrabbit.

Thanks mum03 and lulumama will ring the EPU and find out what we're supposed to do.

anchovies · 23/04/2007 13:11

No nothing has changed, normally very regular. Will speak to the practise nurse at 2 then and try and get her an appointment. Thanks everyone!

mum03 · 23/04/2007 13:11

Either - try phoning the early pregnancy unit at your local hospital to find out what the procedure is in your area. You may be told you have to go to the gp or you may be told to go straight to the EPU. Hope you get help soon. If the pain is getting worse or getting pain in shoulder - then go straight to A&E.

lulumama · 23/04/2007 13:10

stabbing pain in the side should be checked out...sooner rather than later, just in case

scorpio1 · 23/04/2007 13:09

my period came on saturday after being 15 days late.

these things can just happen-a menstrual cycle is dependent on alot of things working in harmony-if any of these are slightly upset, things can happen, like being late.

has she had antibiotics in the last month or so?stress,change of diet,exercise changed,?

GP appointment best.IMO

anchovies · 23/04/2007 12:55

Thanks for your replies. Should I try and get a doctors appointment then (practise nurse is ringing back after 2) or just tell her to go to A&E?

cedar12 · 23/04/2007 12:39

Get it checked out, I had bfn until I was one week late unfortunatley it was ectopic. I dont want to scare you and I am sure you will be ok. But get it checked to be on the safe side. Good Luck

mum03 · 23/04/2007 12:25

Would recommend getting blood test for pregnancy, as sometimes urine ones don't show up - my mum and sister had negative tests even at 3 and 4 months repectively!

Also with pain - it could just be af arriving of course, but it is also important not to forget it could be pregnancy related, and even more that pain on one side could be an ectopic pregnancy... please try to get to the doctor/hospital and get them to do a pregnancy blood test. Hope all is well and that you come back to report good news to us soon.

anchovies · 23/04/2007 12:15

Hi everyone

I'm mrsRabbit's sister. Just had her on the phone very concerned as she's now got pain low down on the right hand side, going from dull ache to stabbing pain. Am going to try and get her a docs appt but any thoughts in the meantime? She's now a week late and still no BFP!

CaptainCaveman · 22/04/2007 13:01

No advice really, just wanted to add that it took us 20 months to conceive ds. We too were waiting for appt at fertility clinic.

I had really sore boobs one morning and decided to test totally expecting a BFN - nearly fell over in shock when I saw the BFP! My periods were really irregular though so had no idea how pg I was (found out at scan that I was about 6 weeks pg when i tested).

Same day I found out I got a phone call from the fertility clinic offering me an appt that week! Happily I declined it.

everything crossed for you!

I don't think feeling period-y or not has much to do with it. I felt like that each month for the first 3 months when I was pg. Will cross everything for you.
