Hi there,

Wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me, not sure what to do?
6 days before my period I went to have a small glass of wine but had a sip and thought I was going to be sick (not normal at all for me!) Then 5 days before my period I had a small drop of brown blood, just when I wiped didn't need a pad or tampon (sorry tmi!) And felt nauseous all that week and just felt odd in general. I said to my partner that I had a funny feeling I might be pregnant. He told me to wait and see if AF came.
So I did and AF never came, which is really unusual for me, I'm super regular (29 days) and I always have really bad menstrual cramps (usually lots of painkillers and hot water bottle!) But I've not had any of that. I'm now on CD39 and no sign of it coming. I've taken a couple of HPT which have all been negative. I'm pretty sure I ovulated this month but can't be 100% sure.
I've been really tired though and boobs have been really sore and have been having very mild cramping nothing like I get before a period though. Also very gassy and constipated (sorry!)
Has anyone tested positive this late before?
Or could this be something more serious or just a hormonal imbalance? My mind has been going crazy for 3 weeks now Confused

Hi @KatyKey So sorry to hear about your MC.
Strange you're late and no sign of AF or bfp as well. How are you feeling today?
I felt very nauseous all last week. And felt a bit nauseous this evening and very weak. I've had a bit heavier brown discharge today though (sorry tmi!) But no red blood... keep thinking my AF is here but still nothing. No idea what's going on, will be 14 days late tomorrow which is really not like me.
Let me know how you get on!

I'm 3 days late and zero sign of either AF or BFP. Im nauseous as hell thought. Husband and I aren't really trying after I had MMC in march

Hi @Sarahmayo how are you getting on?
I still have no sign of AF. Although Thursday evening I had some watery brown discharge (sorry tmi), but no cramps, thought it was AF coming but the next day it was gone.
Took another HPT this morning but BFN. Think I'll phone the doctors on Monday if no AF by then

I'm glad I'm not alone!! It's so strange I've never had this before. I just want to know either way what's going on.
Yeah I thought about phoning the doctor but was worried they would just tell me to wait and see if my next period came but my partner is saying the same and that I should phone them.
I guess it's the only way of finding out what's happening. Keep me updated with how you're getting on!

@Jessica1072 Hi, I’m in a similar situation myself, I’m 19 days late for AF, had ovulation discharge, later than normal though, followed by spotting, still 19 days on no AF or positive pregnancy test! Feel like I’m going insane stuck in limbo! I have the same symptoms as you, tired, constipated, sore boobs. I’m sorry I can’t give you any answers, just reassurance your not alone! Everyone, including my husband has been telling me to call the GP and ask for blood test, I guess that is the best option to try to get an answer. I am terrified of blood tests so have avoided going, I always faint it’s so embarrassing, I just keep thinking everyday today will be the day my AF shows up or I get a BFP, but everyday is the same, nothing 😕. I guess I would suggest going for a blood test, that is the advise I’ve been given, although I’m being hypocritical as I haven’t taken the advice myself 🙈. Good luck and let me know how you get on 😊
