Advice on negative pg tests?

Hi All,
Hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread too.
I have a DD from a previous relationship, DH and I have been trying for over 18 months. I had an early miscarriage and then a missed miscarriage in quick succession, but we've not had any luck for over a year. We've had tests done and so far all my tests have come back okay, but DH has sperm issues across the board. We've started down the fertility treatment route and waiting to start our consent app for IVF ICSI.
I also irregular periods as in they vary in length from 24-27 days long and have a short LP, which is only roughly about 10 days long.
So I 100% know I ovulated this month and I'm now cycle day 31 and roughly 12/13dpo still no AF which I've never get a cycle this long. I also did a cheapie pregnancy test this morning (100 from ebay for £3 job haha) but got a BFN.
I keep having the odd cramps and funny feeling in my b__bs, but they aren't sore.
Anyone else had this before and got any views on it, or more importantly think that I could still get a BFP??
Thanks x

Yes I’m well, had my first midwife app yesterday. Just waiting for the scan now. I’m 8+2 so still early days!! How are you?? Have you tested at all? Xx

Kate123cl Hope this month is a bfp for you :) x

@kate123cl how are you doing? Xx

@Shellmum23
Could it be implantation bleeding??

X

looking for friendly advise 😀

5 days ago I did a hpt clear blue. Got a faint positive. Waited until yesterday to retest and got a darker positive but this morning I got my period. Feeling a little disheartened as would have loved to have another baby. Is it possible to get a false positive?!?

I was just coming on to say the same @TheTittifers! Bloody AF! Lots of baby dust and crossed fingers for this cycle! X

Well I'm out! AF started with a vengeance today!! least I can start again now...
How are you getting on?

@TheTittifers you never know!! There’s still time for it to happen and be a few months post partum before the big day! If it’s meant to be then it’ll be!
It’s horrible waiting for the impending doom isn’t it! I had a darker more browny smear this afternoon and again nothing since then. I just wish it would make its mind up!! I’m back to work tomorrow after a couple of weeks leave so I’m hoping it’ll be something to keep my mind off all of this!! X

@Wames90 getting married next August-super excited but we both wanted a baby before then so our family is complete when the wedding comes around...hey ho, it'll all work out in the end!!

Oh no other signs of AF, I keep suspecting that it'll appear whenever I go to the loo and was sure it started last night but nope! Just my body taunting me!! Any other blood smears for you??

Yes I know they just seemed quite ok at the fact that I have no coil now. I had to request a scan to see if its gone. My Dr said it will have just fallen out with a heavy period. Just want it all sorted really

Hi
Im currently not TTC my last period was 1st April. Not sure when the period before was as I've never kept track so not sure of my cycle length which I'm sure is usually longer than 28 days. I'm meant to have a copper coil. However I went for a routine smear and its not there. The Dr couldn't see it either. Dr said to wait for next period before starting the mini-pill. However The past few days my boobs have felt so heavy, I feel nasueas like too much acid which i never get, im super tired and a bit dizzy and i've had a lot of discharge (I just feel a bit stretchy if that makes sense) familar to my last two pregnancies. I'm driving myself insane because I've done a FRER but got a BFN but I don't even know if its too early to test.....is it possible to have symptoms and a BFN but still be pregnant?

I'm due to have a scan on monday to see check the coil hasn't embedded anywhere, they'll pick it up on that surely if I am?. Just having a bit of a panic and wanted some advice really.

@TheTittifers it’s so frustrating isn’t it! Oh congratulations!! Hopefully that’ll take some focus off TTC! When are you getting married?
Haha happiness can be shown through gritted teeth, right?!
Feeling very confused with my body this morning! Thought I had the start of AF last night and then woke up about 3:30 this morning with excruciating pains but nothing but a little smear of bright blood and now nothing since. My body is definitely playing mind games this month!! Any sign of your AF? X

Time definitely slows when TTC! @Wames90 And people sprout out from seemingly nowhere announcing pregnancy with only having to just look at a penis!!! obviously I'm very happy for them too...!!!

@Wames90 TTC 4 cycles (actually started November) but cycle dates are varying it seems! I thought they had settled at 36 (ish!) but this one is currently 42 😩 some people would have had AF and be in fertile window by now!!

Added little spanner in the works of our wedding next year... stupidly thinking (wishful) I may get pregnant quicker than first time around...!!

@TheTittifers it’s so frustrating isn’t it!! I feel like I’m now at the point where I’d just happily see AF so I can try again for another month!! How long have you been TTC? We’ve been 6 months now and it’s felt like 6 years! 🤦🏼‍♀️
@stellarfox fingers crossed you find out soon either way! The not knowing is the worst bit isn’t it!? Xx

Hi ladies I’m still waiting too, now 7 days late! It’s so annoying! I’m on CD 41 now :( I’m waiting until Friday morning to do another FRER as really want to drink this weekend if I can!

Hi @Wames90 hope you're not going to crazy!
I'm 7 days late today and just did a FRER in the hope that the cheapies just weren't working...another BFN to add to the bin. Brilliant. AF just needs to come along now so I can start afresh!!

Hey everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining the thread!
Congratulations for the BFPs and a big 👎🏼 For all the BPNs.
AF is now 6 days late for me and I’ve had a few (too many to admit to!) BFNs. I’m literally going insane over here and keep thinking that every little thing is a sign of pregnancy!
Just following for everyone else’s experiences!

Hey girls, all still going okay with me! I bought another test today as I was paranoid and it’s inline with what the dr said - he’s said around the 5 week mark.
Hope everyone doing okay? Xxx

After joining here a couple days ago, I suspect I might be out - typical as I'm still waiting for FRER to arrive from amazon (hopefully will use them next month!). I picked up Sainsbury's cheap test on Monday night, got a faint positive (which I may have also had on the boots one I had over the weekend) Mon eve. Then lasted all yesterday without POAS. This morning used the second Sainsbury's cheap one and it was negative. I've since had some spotting so I'm sure AF is on the way. TBH, if that's the case I'm just happy at this stage to know either way and be out of limbo. This would have also been the worst timing in terms of hiding/not drinking over next couple months (weekend away, hen do, wedding, mine and DH bdays....) - always need to look at the bright side!

Do you think the earlier faint positives means that the delay in AF (8days late currently) was due to a chemical?
