Period is a week late today, done a CB test and completely a BFN.

@Waitingforbabypage

So had a random thought. If I didn't have an AF, it means I didn't ovulate? Right? Would make sense seeing as the implant only got removed in aug. So I could potentially ovulate whenever? DP has a ridiculously high sex drive so we're dtd every other night pretty much, so I could be waiting for an AF that won't show because we could catch the egg at the right time and get preggers? The only way to be sure would be to hold off dtd until I have AF? 😱 noooooooo!!! Also, cervical placement- it's a weird one but it has moved up as if it is ready for ovulation which would be about now if my cycles were "normal" OR I'm completely batshit crazy and need to get more sleep and stop overthinking the whole thing.
Are you temping or doing opks? That's the only surefire way to know if you are ovulating / have ovulated.

@Hufflypuf @Waitingforbabypage you two literally could've written my comment for me, literally in the exact same position! Had my coil removed in June so no idea if/when I ovulated. But I feel pregnant. Have decided with DH to test again this weekend and then take it from there... Thinking it is all in my head now. If things were normal, I should be ovulating now but who knows! Other than spotting for 4 days on CD 28, very light and never got going, no sign of AF. Confused!

Hi, I'm in the same boat, either CD37 or 44 (depending if you count spotting as the start of AF) and absolutely zero symptoms. Last month I had a 33 day cycle and before pill it was always 30 days.

I took a pregnancy test 5 days ago - BFN. I'd built my hopes up so much I was absolutely gutted when I saw the result. I'm really worried about testing again as I don't want the disappointment of another BFN Sad

Emmie12345 · 18/09/2020 09:06

@hopefully2021 yes it did ! I did it (or rather dp did ) and I got my period the next morning !

Now incredibly heavy and I think I prob had a chemical this month ( xxx

I've got light pinky brown spotting so think period is finally on its way. Over a week late on cd40

hopefully2021 · 18/09/2020 08:03

@Emmie12345 any luck yet? I'm now 2 weeks late & no sign of AF still - getting so frustrated!
Did the reflexology help at all? Smile

Emmie12345 · 17/09/2020 15:31

@Emmie12345 thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna be on with that!

Emmie12345 · 17/09/2020 14:07

Wow I did the acupressure massage last evening recommended to me (Michelle Rogers on YouTube ) and I have my period today !

Emmie12345 · 17/09/2020 10:07

Hi all - god it’s so annoying. Am never bothering doing an opk again as I got a clearblue smiley on cd11 and am now cd50 and bfn !!

claireb7rg · 17/09/2020 09:41

(Slight name change for me)

But another day another negative test.

Now a week late, cd39, 21dpo

Im more and more convinced that I didn't ovulate this month now.

Waitingforbabypage · 17/09/2020 09:40

I've wasted enough money this month peeing on various sticks and all came back very much negative, not even a squinter, a hint, a shadow. Nothing.
So I'm thinking it's just my cycle settling down after having my implant removed.
It was removed on 5th August and I had bleeding on the 9th. Felt like a normal period, looked like a normal period so maybe my body is just trying to figure itself out.

Kirky658 · 17/09/2020 09:30

@Waitingforbabypage awww bless him! My DH is just excited, I can tell he's trying to reign it in but he's pretty sure I'm pregnant too...

Are you planning to test again or wait it out? X

Waitingforbabypage · 17/09/2020 09:16

Morning @Kirky658 I'm not surprised you're confused! Our bodies really do like to play tricks on us don't they?!

My poor OH was a bit down when I got a bfn, he's blames himself even though it is very clearly an issue with me. Poor guy!
I don't think I have ever wanted AF to show so much in my life!

Kirky658 · 17/09/2020 09:07

Hi ladies, saw this post and it made me feel somewhat more normal! We are only on month 2 of TTC but I am CERTAIN i am pregnant. My cycles are varying - I have endometriosis, had surgery in June for the second time and was cleared to TTC as had mirena coil removed - last time was 45 days, time before was 60 odd. Anyway I 'assumed' I ovulated mid August, had a weird bleed start of September, not really a period as it was so so light and never got going, no pains etc (compared to the one previous which was horrifically heavy and painful). Anyway I took 2 x tests a week apart during and after the bleeding, BFN. Now I'm totally confused as like most of you ladies I feel absolutely exhausted, I'm nauseous, hot flushes, boobs look different and my eczema has flared up badly which I am told can be caused by pregnancy! DH is trying to stay casual about it and said well why don't we wait to see if you get your next period but with all this COVID lark I'm concerned I need to know as going back to work etc... Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ladies 😊 x

ER20 · 17/09/2020 08:05

@Emmie12345 I’ve googled it lots but can only really find things saying it shouldn’t effect your cycle? Have you read different? Though wouldn’t be surprised cause adding anything new could mess around.

That’s good, at least you’ll know either way and can try again next cycle.

Emmie12345 · 17/09/2020 07:46

@ER20 google folic acid and delayed period

I am
Absolutely convinced the q10 I took delayed me

I think I have the start of my period this morning - dh massaged my uterine acupressure points for half an hour last night !

ER20 · 17/09/2020 07:37

@Plm28 CD 35 and still nothing.

Only thing I’ve done differently this month is I stopped taking vitamin B6 and Evening Primrose Oil for horrendous PMT and started taking Folic Acid. But not sure that would give me all these symptoms?!

Plm28 · 16/09/2020 22:43

@ER20 omg same. One minute I’m convinced af is coming cos I’ve got awful cramps next minute I’m thinking could I be pregnant as I feel so sick. Our bodies really do play tricks with us xx

Emmie12345 · 16/09/2020 21:19

Hi @Waitingforbabypage xxx grrrrrr me too

Emmie12345 · 16/09/2020 21:19

@ER20 same ! Keep googling reviews of clearblue digital !

ER20 · 16/09/2020 21:06

If I’m not pregnant I am genuinely concerned something is wrong, the nausea, backache, tiredness, constipation... all unusual for me. Confused

Can’t stop googling for reviews of the ICs I’m using ha.
