Still no period - negative pregnancy tests

I had a miscarriage on 2nd Dec, got my period on the 8th Jan and I’m now 9 days late for my period. I think I ovulated around day 17 of my cycle and I’ve been having unprotected sex all month. Is it possible that I may not have ovulated? I don’t know what’s going on with my cycles now and I’m getting worried.

@Hoping87 out of curiosity, did you get ewcm at any point since your last period? Just trying to compare notes 😁🗒

@Kal194 as much as we don't like AF, I'm glad she arrived for you so at least you can now look forward to the next cycle.

@soanxious72 thank you so much for sharing your experience. I was about to start my blood tests and taking CoQ10 but then no AF 🤷‍♀️. The only thing that really puzzles me is the faint double line that became a BFN. what was that about? 🤔

@wildrabbit Welcome 😀. Glad you joined us in this thread. You did very well with the acronyms 😉. Which OPK did you buy? My suggestion would be to leave it for now unless you get ewcm (if you normally do). Otherwise it will be a waste of money and it most likely will only tell you what you already know. It's a waiting game for us all but in the meantime feel free to share your frustrations here 😀

Hey everyone. First post 😬

CD40 here, but last few cycles have been around 30-33 days so I'm fretting too. Off pill for c. 9 months and cycles have varied a lot, I know this normal, bit none this long). Tried a test 2 days ago but BFN. Tried an OPK (bought a kit to use next cycle for 1st time, then in my fretting saw some people saying to try if unsure?) and that's negative too.

Nerve wracking isn't it?

PS Yes I had to Google all the acronyms and fingers crossed I got some right 😂😉

@QuantumGirl My period has arrived. Feeling okay about it though, as this means something is happening and I don’t have to wait wondering what’s going on. Just very confused by the positive test I had. Hoping my next cycle I will catch and it’s not as long as this dreadful one 🙄 Hope something happens for you soon, waiting is the worst part. Good luck!

The deed not feed Grin

Hi Ladies, the stress of ttc can also delay periods. Also a faint line is a positive and may be that you’re only ‘just ‘ pregnant or suffering what they call a chemical pregnancy.

I had 7 back to back misscarriages over 2 years and some months I was really stressed ttc I would be late

Have you all asked your doctors for a day 21 test? This will be a good indicator that you’re ovulating correctly.

Also requested a HCG blood test the next time you get a faint line.

Unfortunately they don’t seem to help a lot at early pregnancy units until after a 3rd loss.

In the meantime get your golden egg by taking a good quality co enzyme Q10 tablet and take daily. (Recommendation by a midwife) Around 90days later all that delicious Q10 is in your egg and that’s what got me my little boy today. I call him the golden child due to him being my golden egg.

Everything is worth a go!

I would also limit the feed to every other day.

I also went on the clear blue digital ovulation trial and realised I was ovulating 4 days earlier than my normal strip tests were showing.. think that’s how I managed to get pregnant often. But I honestly think the Q10 worked for me.. I was almost 43 having him

Good luck all and prayers sent your way that you all get that beautiful big second line on a pregnancy test soon

@Kal194 I had exactly that. Faint line on the 9th Feb, no line in the 13th then ewcm on the 15th. I think it's worth seeing your GP and hopefully they will ask for a scan. I can only see mine on the 5th of March

I have heard of pregnancies that were only detected after 7 weeks. There is hope ☺️

Kal194 · 18/02/2019 17:17

@QuantumGirl @Hoping87 well I’m so confused. I took a test on Saturday morning and I had a faint positive. Then I took one this morning hoping the line would be darker because hcg is supposed to double over 48hrs and it was negative. I’m having period cramps but no period. Just creamy cm. not sure whether to see my gp or not. What do you think? 🤔

@QuantumGirl cd46, 2 weeks late tomorrow....still nothing! 🤷🏻‍♀️

QuantumGirl · 18/02/2019 14:52

@Kal194 @Hoping87 Any update ladies? I'm CD42 today and nada 🤷‍♀️

Kal194 · 15/02/2019 15:43

My last af was 5th January....been having unprotected sex all through January....still no sign of af but have taken tests and all negative?!

QuantumGirl · 14/02/2019 18:38

Hi @Kal194 I could have written your post. My last AF also was on the 8th of Jan and so far I had a BFN and a AF no show. I think there is absolutely nothing we can do apart from let it stew at the back of our minds and wait for something to happen. Keep yourself busy and test again in 1 week. Fingers crossed it will be good news ❤️😉

Kal194 · 14/02/2019 14:20

Also, I was having sharp twinges in my left side of my reproductive system around the time I should have ovulated, that lasted a couple of days
