So confused... could I be pregnant?

I'm now on day 31 of my cycle, 3/4 days after when AF usually shows up. I have done multiple tests, mainly cheap ones and a couple of FRER and they have all come back negative. I've had various different symptoms for over a week now, nausea, backache and tiredness being the main ones.
What the heck is happening? Could I be pregnant? If so why isn't it showing up yet?

Morning guys, I don't know if I'm making it up but I'm sure there's a really faint line on here. Please can you let me know what you think? It's there no matter what angle I look at and I've inverted the image and there is a really faint line there but I still don't know? Xx

@pugmama7 it's quit early days for us, we had a few months of 'let's see what happens' after stopping contraception and then the last 3 months we've been using the tracking I've been doing for a while to try and DTD around ovulation but next month I'm going to start using OPK. I really hope this is your month and if not I hope the doctors appointment and tests go well. You'll get your bundle of joy at some point soon. My future mother in law is always mentioning about 'when the grandchildren are born' or 'when you have kids' and she always suspects that I'm pregnant if I have any slight ailment and it brakes my heart when I have to say I'm not. Must be even harder after waiting and trying longer, guess we've all got to focus on the fact that one way or another we'll all get to tell everyone at some point that we're starting families

@Emae26 thanks lovely I think it will if there's any chance there's even a squinty line. How long have you been ttc? We've been trying for 18months and I've almost given up. We have a docs appointment in a couple of weeks to see if they can start doing some tests to see if everything's ok. It's just so frustrating especially when everyone always asks when we're going to have a baby, I guess people don't realise what's going on behind doors. Xx

@poptypingchef no I don't... really wish I did so I have a better understanding of what's happening...
@pugmama7 it really does feel like a cruel joke... I've never felt the way I have recently, I've never felt so pregnant in all my life. I feel exactly the same, like if im going to get a positive then I should have got it by now. Restore my faith a bit hearing that some people have waited longer after AF being due and ended up with a BFP. If you want to post your test to have some more opinions please do, I probably will do the same.

Sending lots of baby dust to both of you ❤

@Emae26 I'm in the exact same position. I have every single symptom but 2 negative tests now. You know when you want something so bad it just feels like someone's playing a cruel joke. I'm going to test again in the morning and then I guess I'm definitely out as my period would be 6 days late at that point so surely would show by now. Hope you get a positive result this month! Xx

Do you temp? If so and your temp is still high and hasn’t tapered off it could be a good sign

@poptypingchef it is so frustrating isn't it? I've got a FRER to do in the morning but is so disheartening when all test say about being really accurate the day of a missed period, makes me feel like I'm kidding myself. Part of me want to believe I am pregnant because why else would I have symptoms and a late period and the rest of me is saying that I can't be pregnant otherwise I'd be getting a different result. It's so going to be so hard if AF shows because me and my fiancé both had really strong gut feelings that this would be the month. My fiancé is still convinced I'm pregnant

Sorry I should say there are loads of people on here that have not got a positive until day 12,13,17 even but I’m not convinced I’m one of those people - maybe you will be OP.

poptypingchef · 06/10/2019 17:45

I’m in the same position at the moment 😔 it’s driving me up the wall. I just want to know either way.

I had a positive OPK with BBT dip and if that wasn’t confirmation then I also had blood tests this month that confirmed ovulation. My cycles can sometimes vary but my luteal phase is always 14 days!!!
