Who else is suffering this annoyance? I was expecting my period at the weekend, so it's not terribly late, but it's not usually late at all. But of course BFNs Confused had a squinter yesterday but it didn't really turn into anything.

This happened once before a few years ago when I was TTC DC1 and i had skipped a whole cycle for no reason!

Hunker down cause it's gonna be a long few days til we get answers Envy

@Wishful30 it does sound like you've had your period but maybe it's worth seeing the GP to discuss your symptoms anyway? Especially if you are worried about ectopic - I have no experience im afraid.

@Frizzy1986 did AF get properly started?

I have AF at last so no idea why it was a week late but onwards and upwards.

Good luck everyone Thanks

Has anyone here had an ectopic pregnancy before, or had a period and later found out they are actually pregnant?

I'm sure I'm imagining things. So I'm not too worried. Life in general has been a bit stressful lately anyway.,

But, I spotted brown for 3 days before my period. Bled heavy for 2days (on time) and suddenly stopped yesterday.
Today I've got pinkish spotting again 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've been cramping/twinging on and off for almost a whole week now. My periods are usually 4days start to end.

I assumed a chemical again. Especially with the heavier bleeding.
Tests negative up to this point.

But.... I'm so bloated. I've cried twice in the last few days for no real reason. Just put it down to stress.
Been dizzy. Put down to feeling so so tired.
But really, I slept from 8:30pm one night and then barely did anything the next day. Still passed out at 6:30pm. Slept right through till 8am and felt so sick that morning.
I'm putting it down to anaemia from the bleeding. However, it comes and goes. Whilst anaemia just doesn't budge?

Help!! What is going on?

Can humans have phantoms like dogs?? 😂

Well, only 1 day late which I know is nothing, but have been bang on 32 days for years, and then 32 days after having implant removed. This will be 4th af since removal. POAS this morning. BFN. No pms symptoms (usually cramps and sore boobs). Some discomfort 8dpo, now pushing 15 dpo (used opk). Placing my bet on 35 days cycle...just enough to get my hopes up! Will keep drinking the gin until I know either way...

Frizzy1986 · 31/05/2018 22:16

Well af has kinda just stayed a minimal pink brown thing so far. There's still time for it to kick off as it's only been 24 hours, but usually I'm only on for 4 days (5 max) and it ramps up quickly and is fairly heavy.
No idea what's going on. Maybe it's a mini one this month or something??

Thank you, I think there's not much doubt that I'm not pregnant at this stage it's more where has my period gone Confused

@BuntyII hope you find out one way or the other soon xx

Frizzy1986 · 31/05/2018 13:17

Really hope it doesn't last too much longer and you find out either way.

Thanks for joining me on the bus @Frizzy1986 and @starsandstuff and better luck next month!

I'm still in limbo, no AF and BFN. CD 33 Sad

Littlechief · 31/05/2018 12:35

At least you know where you stand I suspect I’ll be in the same boat tomorrow, good luck for next month!

starsandstuff · 31/05/2018 12:32

Hi @Littlechief, I was reading lots of threads yesterday about people who were a week late before they got their BFP so you never know, fx.

AF arrived this morning with a vengeance 🙄 At least I know where I stand (but not before I wasted my last FRER last night!!) Am definitely not buying any tests this month. Probably.

Littlechief · 31/05/2018 11:31

Can I join the bus! BFN yesterday with FMU and still no sign of AF! 2 days late now what’s going on?! How are you getting on starsandstuff ?

Frizzy1986 · 30/05/2018 17:55

Think she's arrived! Thank god for that.
On to next month!

starsandstuff · 30/05/2018 15:28

I'm on... Had what I'm nearly sure was ovulation pains on 16th, BFN on 9, 10 and 12dpo. My cycle has been 30 days forever, this is the first month TTC and I got my copper coil out last month...and had a 34 day cycle. Now Clue thinks I'm due today (which would give me a 31 day cycle this month) and which would be 14dpo fair enough, but not a sign of AF. Have 1 FRER left and really don't want to use it and be disappointed so I'm trying to hold off another few days. Actually I had half thought I would try again this morning since I'm due on but I woke up at 6am desperate for a wee and I couldn't wait while I faffed about opening the wrappers so maybe that's just as well Grin I'm really annoyed that my body has been so consistent my whole life and the SECOND i decide to TTC it starts playing up, and as I'm 41 I'm worried that actually this is moving towards the end full stop. I'm kind of gutted I opened myself up to this tbh. If we'd never decided I could have slid towards infertility none the wiser, and instead I'm already a crazy lady cycle #1 Sad

Ohnonotanotherusername · 30/05/2018 09:04

@BuntyII sorry to hear that you're still in the dark Thanks

Frizzy1986 · 30/05/2018 09:02

Oh no sorry ladies. Next cycle will be it.

@buntyll no I've not tested today. Assume that as I had a negative frer yesterday, there's no way I'd have enough level increase to get one on an ic today (no frers left and won't bother buying anymore until next cycle)
Gonna hold off as long as I can now until I retest but lots of af symptoms coming and going so we'll see.

Sorry @Ohnonotanotherusername and @Wishful. Good luck in your next cycle.

I've had another BFN this morning. Realistically it's past the stage now where I could get a BFP even allowing for late ovulation and late implantation Sad

Wishful30 · 30/05/2018 08:06

@Ohnonotanotherusername

26-28days tho usually 28.
All this ttc lark does seem to mess it up tho.

Ohnonotanotherusername · 30/05/2018 08:02

@Wishful30 snap! Normally 20-22 days. I only came off the pill at the beginning of the year though, so hoping that this is just my cycles stabilising a bit. What about you?

TillyTheTiger · 30/05/2018 07:31

Yes! CD37 here (normally 30 day cycle), nothing but BFNs and no sign of AF - it's like my body is just trying to get my hopes up before the inevitable disappointment. Been trying TTC #2 since August and getting a bit fed up now.

Wishful30 · 30/05/2018 07:25

@Ohnonotanotherusername

Cycle buddies 😂

How long is your cycle usually?? Xx

Ohnonotanotherusername · 30/05/2018 07:10

Well, I'm out. AF got me this morning (one week late). I'm actually a bit glad, at least I know what's happening. Bring on cycle 5.

Good luck ladies.

Wishful30 · 30/05/2018 06:58

Well, game over. AF is finally here.
Looks like another chemical 😞
Onwards to IUI 😐

Frizzy1986 · 29/05/2018 23:16

I'm jealous reading about people getting af now. It's the not knowing that's killing me.
Yeah of course I want a bfp, was going to move jobs but it doesn't quite fit with the ttc plans and we don't want to hold off longer so I have an "end game" in sight sort of thing so just want to be able to get started on the next month.
Increased cramps now. Weird to have had such swollen boobs last week as I only ever get that a day or 2 before af. Clearly my body was just being a pain and having a laugh.
Argghhhh
