No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️

@HT1335 so confusing! I had a bath earlier to try and relax! It's so hard not to symptom spot and notice every twinge!

@Bgrace8 I'm 10 days late now and onto cd35, I think it's going to end up just skipping all together although I did feel a little bloated earlier! Who knows! Yeah I've read stories too, it's just not how you imagine this to go is it, no one tells you all the stress and worry in between!

@HT1335 @HJen22 oh girls keep me updated you are giving me faith still. When I have googled this before (as I’m sure you have) there seems to be lots of people saying it took them a few weeks to show on a test so it must happen!

I always thought I was a very regular person in terms of this and ovulated slap bang in the middle of the month had it of been a 28 day cycle!

So how late are you both? X

@HJen22 aww thanks so much I’m not too hopeful but we shall wait and see I’ve really sore boobs too but they were like this when I first came off the pill so again I’m not convinced it’s anything to get excited about. Thank you though 😊
It’s very confusing the human body isn’t it

@HT1335 I was worried it was going to take months. I had the first breakout bleed 3 weeks after stopping then a proper period the following month. I'm gutted it's so messed up this month as like you I've been regular, sometimes a day or two out but mostly 24/25. Last month my app predicted a 21day cycle cos of ovulating on day 9, that had me panicking some more haha! But it ended up being 24.

Fingers crossed for your next two tests 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I really hope you see a BFP! 🥰

@HJen22 mine took 8 weeks for me to get an AF after I stopped the pill so we were very confused then too! Then they have been regularish maybe 2 days out at the most and I always get spotting and this time nothing so I’m baffled!
I’ve just ran out on my break to boots to buy some preg tests as I want to do 2 more before I ring the doctors just to be sure, they will probably be negative but at least I’ve done a few more.
I wonder if we will be any wiser by next week, let’s hope so 🤞🏻

@HT1335 oh I know, every time I go to the toilet I expect AF to be there! But nope, nothing! I normally start first thing sometimes with some spotting the day / night before so I'm constantly on the look out!

Yeah absolutely no harm in giving the doctor a call, and I really hope that they are more helpful thus time!!

I had the fear my periods would take ages to come back and be regular, and was surprised when they came back straight away.

I have just decided I am going to test in the morning and then call the doctors on Friday if I’m still in this same situation, I have one cheap test left at home.
Yes trying not to be stressed is easier said than done every time you go for a wee you are reminded of everything so it’s very hard to switch off!
But yes it will be lovely when we all get the BFPs! Hopefully soon!! I’m worried that I’m going to be 37 next year I never thought it would take this long or I would have started TTC last year, never mind this can’t be changed now I suppose

@ImpatientMama you definitely deserve some chocolate and I hope cuddles with your little one are helping 🥰

@Bgrace8 yeah I'm used to having short cycles which makes the wait way less, as it sometimes only gives me a few days after AF before I'm due to ovulate, last month it came back after OPKs and BBT as early as CD9! So this just feels like forever. The two week wait has turned into a month almost! I had planned to test on Friday but I don't think I will. I just know I'm not PG, just need to wait it out for AF. I just can't face another BFN. I've had a few previously and I really wanted the next one to be a BFP.

Totally agree it has been lovely talking to you ladies and having a little community!

I don’t have symptoms of much apart from really foggy headache and neck achey. No cramps no sore boobs but I’m not a very PMS person anyway I usually just come in mid day and don’t have any symptoms until then! All v odd.

@HT1335 I’m going to test Friday Saturday too I think, at this point I don’t even care if I’m not PG as will try again just want some clarity as I’m sure you do too.

@HJen22 we are very similar however I came off in aug and have been regular since but similar cycle lengths etc

Are any of you going to test again?

@ImpatientMama thank you for starting the post ❤️ speaking with you all has really helped the last week, I would be going even more crazy than I am if I hadn't had you all for support. My sister and one friend know we are trying but I didn't even want to talk to them about this months drama. TTC can be a lonely place, it will all be worth it in the end when we get our BFPs!

Not stressing is so much easier said than done isn't it! I've tried reflexology two months, a massage another when I got AF and was in a stinker of a mood haha. Some months don't track to "relax" and that hasn't helped either!

@ImpatientMama I am the same I don’t like to go into great detail about the sore boobs and other things we as women have to experience! I hope you’re ok and that your doctor is supportive on Friday

@ImpatientMama I am so so sorry and really hoping that is not the case but don't want to give you false hope either

@Bgrace8 I am similar to yourself but I’ve not had a positive ovulation test yet, not that I’ve properly tried to do them. I’m waiting until Friday to see what happens and then I’m ringing the gp again.
Very strange how we are all in the same situation isn’t it, but it’s good to know and this is supportive as it’s not a conversation you can have in the office or in general really is it

Hi yes af cane sun 8 days late :) ordered cheapos off eBay x

@Bgrace8 I've been off the mini pill since the end of March. I didn't get a period whilst on the pill and took it every day. My first two cycles were 29 days and then the rest between 24-26 so yeah I've had nothing anywhere near as long as this! I've done OPKs/BBT 3 of the months and had ovulation confirmed and a few I've done nothing. This month none so no idea when / if I ovulated! Typical!

@lastbany that’s positive for you! I used the clear blue ovulation last time and thought they were good! Has your AF come yet? What’s your current situ?

@HJen22 I think it seems so off for us as we have such regular shorter cycles my shortest was 25 days but 28 days normally I think. Did you start trying in sept? How long have you been off contraceptive? X

@lastbany I'm so glad you had a positive doctors appointment like I did, it really helps doesn't it. I was told similar and I knew it before she said it too, but also nice to have the doctors point of view. I agree stress is probably my problem too even if I think I have been stressed less, appears not! I'm so glad to hear as well that it shouldn't cost you anything due to already having children! And great to know that If this happens again and you have concerns you can have bloods and semen analysis. Onwards and upwards 😊

@Bgrace8 it's so strange isn't it, and annoying how our bodies are misbehaving this month! Hopefully this is just a wacky cycle for us and back to normal soon!

@HT1335 @HJen22 you two are exactly the same as me! So bizzare I’ve still no sign of AF which is so unusual for me as I had a positive OPK 2nd nov and have always had regular cycles even if I have been on the pill, never had any problems before.

@ImpatientMama my heart hurts for you ❤️ Sending you lots of love xx

Also no idea why that's all in bold 🤣🤣🤣

@HJen22 @ImpatientMama just a ups date spoke to doc. Very nice! She explained that they would suggest cycles from 22/40 days are normal (shocker!) and suggested I do ovulation sticks to see when happens as saod will always be 14 days before af however that will be different each month! Also said at a week late if pregnant you would 99.9% have a good positive! Which tbh I already sort of knew! She offered blood tests and possibly Sperm analysis and was amazing with offers however saod if I was having fertility problems I would have to pay with having kids although she did say it's very highly unlikely I do and she thinks I. Wed to stop stressing! As she thinks that's what's effecting everything! (Secretly agree) so I said I leave testing for now she said if I change mind to ring they will sort no need for app! So feel positive! Sticks ordered!! Ready for next time! @ImpatientMama sorry to hear this x

@ImpatientMama I'm so so sorry 😢 I'm devastated for you. Can't begin to imagine how you're feeling.
