Not out till AF? Or Out?

Hi,
I’m 7 days late for AF and have had several BFN.
I have never skipped a period before although I do have irregular periods (26-33 long).
I’m going off when my app says I’m due and I don’t do OPK or anything.
When does it go from ‘you’re not out till AF gets you’ to ‘out out’?

I’m the same. Now 15 days late but bfn and I have wasted so many tests. Doctors appointment tomorrow so will discuss it then. I’m not sure what to say for them to take it seriously and not fob me off! Getting worried about it now.

So I’ve just got a super faint positive...surely it should be a strong positive?!
My last test and I caved. Will pick up some more but not convinced this is going to end well :(

I was literally coming here to start a thread as I'm in the same boat!!! 4 days late now and BFN after BFN. My cycles are usually 26-28 days NEVER over 30 so this is very abnormal. Had a normal, relatively stress free month.

On top of that I have unbearable heartburn which I never have suffered with before and my boobs are so sore it hurts to wash myself

Honestly I'm just wishing it would start now and put me out of my misery.

So doctor rang me up and fobbed me off, it's not unusual at your age for you to miss a period, have you had a hot flush, suddenly feeling hot than not... take another pregnancy test next week, see if period comes if not contact us, but it's likely to be perimenipause so that was a waste of time

It’s good that you are getting tests BabyDancer, I hope you get some answers!
I’m hoping AF shows up just so I can start fresh! Obviously a BFP would be amazing but I’m not holding out hope now even though I have heard about late BFPs too.

I'd worried at being nearly 2 weeks late, cant imagine missing two periods Confused still think it maybe the pregnacare vitamins lengthening my cycle somehow. I have read online that some people have had bfps late to show?

I'm the same. It's so annoying isn't it? You just want to move on to the next cycle. I've now missed two periods and I'm so confused as all I've got is BFNs. I'm getting a blood test tomorrow - which will help with my peace of mind. My cycles are slightly irregular (29 - 34 days) but I've never missed a period, let alone two! I've not been on any contraception (we just used condoms before) and I only started TTC in December - with no period since...

Same here no spotting or feeling AF is on the way.
How frustrating!

I'm 11 days late, BFN yesterday, never been more than a day late before in 10 years but feel like I must be out, AF nowhere to be seen, no spotting either Confused pretty sure a pregnancy would show on a test now if I was
