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

@peacheswife did you contact your GP? I’m going to call mine today I think

Newtothis12 · 24/08/2020 17:10

@Ladybird345 thank you very much. X

Ladybird345 · 24/08/2020 16:43

Apologies my son decided to press send before I was finished 🙄

TWW two week wait

There will be more but can't think off the top of my head.

Wow 16 weeks pregnant, I bet that was a shock? It sounds really promising with your tests, what tests are you using?

@peacheswife Digitals need a high level of pregnancy hormone to read a positive so you might not be out 🤞 fingers crossed for you!

I just had another faint line but it was more faint than yesterday so no idea what's going on?

Ladybird345 · 24/08/2020 16:38

Yeah it takes a while to pick it up, here are some ones you might come across
BFN big fat negative
BFP big fat positive
DTD did/done the deed
AF Aunt Flo
FRER first response early response
IC Internet cheapies (tests)
BBT basal body temperature
DC dear child
DS dear son
DD dear daughter
DP dear partner
DH dear husband
TWW two week way

@Newtothis12 big fat negative. It's not silly I had to google Mumsnet shorthand because I couldn't read most people's posts 😂

@Ladybird345 @Newtothis12 I did a digital today and it was a BFN so god knows. I'd like my period now so I can try again.

Fingers crossed for you both!

@Ladybird345 it came up light within 10 mins then stronger after that i have a son at 9 years and when pregnant with him i didnt find out till i was 16weeks so i am new to all this early pregnancy stuff tbh i dont have a clue. And no still cant upload so strange i cant even send one in a private mail x

Ladybird345 · 24/08/2020 14:40

@Newtothis12 that sounds good. If it came up within the timeframe it won't be an evap. Is it letting you post photos yet? Sounds like you ovulated late and that's why it's taken a while to get a positive x

Newtothis12 · 24/08/2020 13:52

Hello sorry to hear this. I took a test yesterday and the line was stronger however am just scared that it evaporation line or somthing so will retest on friday x

Ladybird345 · 24/08/2020 13:13

Hi ladies, just wondering how everyone is getting on?
I'm now cycle day 51, thought I had a faint positive with SMU yesterday but then BFN today so I think it's safe to say it was a false one 🙄

Luce89 · 23/08/2020 20:39

It's such a cruel game isn't it 😭this has happened to me twice. Once I didn't actually ovulate and skipped a whole period. Second time I had a 40 day long cycle (usually 32 days) for absolutely no reason whatsoever. The doctor basically said women's bodies are highly unpredictable, even the pain ones with regular cycles!
Fingers crossed for you x

Newtothis12 · 23/08/2020 20:30

@Mama090319 ok ty i will try tomorrow x

Mama090319 · 23/08/2020 17:35

@Newtothis12 I think if your account is less than 24 hours old then you can’t post pictures?

Newtothis12 · 23/08/2020 17:22

@peacheswife i dont seem to have the paper clip😔

@Ladybird345 there really should be more information online and from our GPs, I will keep you updated. I just find it odd that if I know I ovulated what would happen to the egg 😂 I'm going to contact my GP this week so I'll let you know what they say.

@Newtothis12 when commenting there is a paper clip button, that's how you add the photos. Try again with your morning wee as your hormones might not be strong enough but when I was pregnant I did the test in the afternoon and it worked. They are all so different.

@peacheswife hello yes i have taken a digital one but said not pregnant however if i am i will only be 3weeks and silly me took digital one at 8pm and i have heard u need a high amount of hormone to trigger the digital ones i could be talking rubbish x

Newtothis12 · 23/08/2020 16:43

@Ladybird345 yes i do have pics how do i upload them? Sorry am just new here and not sure how to x

Bryyy · 23/08/2020 16:43

I'm five days late too but have the copper coil. I'm seeing the GP in a couple of hours but I think that's because I'm at higher risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Ladybird345 · 23/08/2020 16:37

@peacheswife keep us updated on what happens, fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Newtothis12 do you have a photo of your tests? How many days did you take them over?

@Mama090319 I'm glad I'm not the only one POAS each day! Hope you get an answer soon. I'm so glad of Internet cheap tests otherwise I would be skint 😳

So glad hearing other people are in the same boat. I'm on cycle day 50 so guessing my period is classed as missed now?

@dogmam @mrsmummy1111 thank you both, it's just so random. I want to just get it done with to try again.

@Newtothis12 have you tried a digital one? When I was pregnant the cheap strip ones were very faint so I bought a digital and it said pregnant. Could give you a definite answer, fingers crossed for you Thanks

This happened to me when TTC #2. I was incredibly regular then one month I randomly had a 42 day cycle out of nowhere. It was awful as I knew I wasn't pregnant so i just wanted my period to come so i could get it over with and try again. I conceived the month after, so maybe it's a good luck sign. Best of luck to you!

Newtothis12 · 23/08/2020 14:30

Hello am new here. Iam the same 9 days late but with 4 very faint positive am unsure that this is the evaporation line i will be gutted if it is 😰

dogmam · 23/08/2020 13:47

I have very regular 28 day cycles then a few month ago in May I was randomly 10 days late and had a 38 day cycle. I was hoping for a BFP and done a few tests but all negative, I was then worried about what it could be and everyone was saying it was stress but didn't feel at all stressed. Since then my cycles have went back to normal and looking back I think it was probably stress as it was the first month of using OPKs and really analysing everything for the full cycle. If you are still getting negative tests the likeliness of being pregnant is very slim. 5 days late is not a missed period it's still just late so try not to worry and it will more than likely arrive in the next few days. Hope you're ok x

@june2007 I'm normally not a stressed person but this month I was due to have the baby I lost. I didn't think it affected me that much but maybe that's part of it. I guess I'll just have to wait and see
