5 days late and not pregnant

I know there are lots of feeds about this subject but I'm looking for what else it could be. I've looked online but it can be overwhelming. We are trying for a baby so I'm hoping nothing is wrong but I just wondered if anyone else had been in this situation? I know I ovulated as I bleed a little on my 14th day and I've always come on, on the 28th day so this is all new to me.

TIA

I FINALLY CAME ON!!!! After 3 weeks I have finally come on and can start planning my next month of trying! It seems weird to be pleased but I'm so relieved that the stress can stop.

@Newtothis12 I had this exact same experience last week on tesco own brand blue dye tests, clear as day positive and I was not pregnant. Hope you're okay.

Ladybird345 · 29/08/2020 20:17

@Newtothis12 aw I'm so sorry to hear that! I can't believe your lines were false they where so clear!
Ovulation strips aren't for everyone but here is some info for you which will give you an idea if you want to give them a go:
www.whattoexpect.com/getting-pregnant/ovulation/ovulation-test-strips/
I get my strips off the Internet but you can buy them from shops too, I get just the plain strips but you can get a digital reader too (Clearblue) which will give you an indicator so you don't have to interpret the lines. I use mine with the Premom app as it logs your tests and gives them a rating which makes it easier to predict your cycle. Sorry if that was abit long winded! X

Newtothis12 · 29/08/2020 15:47

Now can someone help me with ovulation strips how do they work and if u get a positive response when do you try? Sorry if it sounds daft x

Newtothis12 · 29/08/2020 15:45

Well ladies i took a pink dye test and its a BFN 😢 i am so upset. Please do NOT use tesco pregnancy tests

Mama090319 · 29/08/2020 08:28

@Ladybird345 it’s been 2 weeks now. We weren’t actively trying so I’m not too fussed, I just wanted to know either way. I’ve mostly accepted that this month is missed and I’ll have to wait and see what happens next month!

Ladybird345 · 29/08/2020 07:07

Hi ladies, hope you are okay. How are you? I'm still not having anything really, had a faint line that turned into a dark line as it dried yesterday but then tested this morning and it was BFN so it must be false. It was convincing though 😕
@peacheswife I'm using ovulation strips too now to see if they show anything. So far they are all similar. I'm using an app to track them too which is helpful.

@Mama090319 good luck with weight watchers. Hopefully you will get your BFP soon, some ladies get there's weeks after a missed period 🤞

@Mama090319 I'm sorry, I spoke to my doctor and they have run tests and offered counselling but I'm sure that because of the miscarriage. I'm not pregnant though I know I'm not. I've bought some ovulation sticks to see if I ovulate this month at all. I'm overweight and got pregnant, millions of women do but obviously it can help to be healthier. Good luck! I hope for the BFP for you soon 😘

I’ve taken another test today at 14 dates late and it’s still a BFN. My doctor said they don’t do anything until 3 missed periods which is what it says on the NHS website so I guess I’m just going to have to wait and see it next months arrives. I’ve read online that being overweight can cause this which I am I guess so have joined weight watchers so I can feel like I’m doing something!

@Ladybird345 no I've not got any more in the house. I'm just treating it like a missed and getting on with trying again hoping that I ovulate sometime. I'm sorry to hear it's still BFN. I'm sure if I did one it would too as I have no symptoms of pregnancy. I hope it happens soon for you!

@Newtothis12 let us know how you get on.

@Ladybird345 sorry to hear this 😔 dont loose hope x

Ladybird345 · 26/08/2020 04:36

Hi ladies

I've ended up awake at stupid o'clock so did a FMU test and it was BFN so I'm feeling pretty down with it all now. Cycle day 53 and nothing.

@Luce89 thanks for the help 😊

@Newtothis12 those definitely look like lines to me! I would try a pink dye test and see what it shows. Got my fingers crossed for 🤞

@peacheswife did you do another test?

Hope you all get BFPs soon xx

Luce89 · 25/08/2020 22:02

Hi again ladies. I forgot to say, when I had a super long cycle (over 50 days) my GP said they wouldn't do anything to help until I'd missed at least 3 periods. Luckily I was also having tests done privately, and they prescribed me some tablets to force a breakthrough bleed to allow my next cycle to begin. Might be an option if your AF still doesn't come soon?

Newtothis12 · 25/08/2020 18:31

Thank you ladies i will double check on friday and let you all know ❤️👍🏻

@Newtothis12 I'm with @calimommy they are positive lines with progression! Congratulations Thanks

OP posts:
calimommy · 25/08/2020 17:10

@Newtothis12 you have line progression from the 22 to the 23rd. Take those as positives. You are pregnant. 👍 congrats!

Newtothis12 · 25/08/2020 16:43

@peacheswife yeh and it said not pregnant but i would only be 3weeks and iv heard they need high hormones @calimommy what i will do is buy more on friday that way i will be 4 weeks and should get a reading if i am i am now 11 days late aswell x

calimommy · 25/08/2020 16:26

@Newtothis12 those are both positive. Those are not evaporation lines.

peacheswife · 25/08/2020 16:21

@Newtothis12 I've never heard of evaporation lines. I'd say that's positive but I don't want to get your hopes up. Have you tried a digital one?

OP posts:
Newtothis12 · 25/08/2020 16:08

But today i dont feel pregnant if this makes sence i think am just so worried and reading to much reviews online that they are evaporation lines.

Newtothis12 · 25/08/2020 16:06

Hi ladies can finally upload. So the pic with the 5p was in the 22nd 9am and the ome with the ring was on the 23rd at 9.30am x

@peacheswife I tried to get through for half an hour and gave up. I’ll try again tomorrow which will be 11 days late Hmm

@Mama090319 not yet, Monday's are always a nightmare to get through to mine. As I'm now 7 days I'm going to try tomorrow as I've not done a test today.

Let me know what they say to you.
