No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️

Yes I have read a lot of them so could see your tests and was so happy for you when you got two positives, how late were you when you got these? Hopefully they will be able to give you some answers but yes I’m the same as it would be lovely and lucky as we haven’t been TTC for long either it’s just the uncertainty isn’t it and the unknown that’s the worst part!

@ImpatientMama thank you how are you feeling?

I have a follow up appointment from my bloods already booked in for the week after. My fiancé is positive too saying he thinks I am. I’m not a full week late yet so going to test again with a cheapy tomorrow morning and have ordered some FR for the end of the week. I’m the same as you thought, how on earth could it not show up yet? Exactly I just want my AF now to put me out my misery haha. Do you have any other children?

@Bgrace8 I will do! I should really have asked for a follow up straight away but when I called the receptionist just said results came back in and I didn't need another app. But I don't know anything that was tested for and I'd like to have an understanding of how things were looking and if anything were on the low or high side. Same, my BF remains positive but I'm thinking the worst, and just don't think I can be as why wouldn't it have shown! I tested Monday Tuesday and Friday, I'm holding off til this Friday if no show as that would be almost 2 weeks late! I was on the pill too and pleasantly surprised that my cycle came back quickly. But now I have no clue what's going on! You just don't imagine it being like this do you, it's meant to be either a clear happy BFP or AF and can try again haha doesn't seem to even be that simple this month!

Oh you will have to let me know what happens or how it goes. I would have thought it would show on a test by now, but you read so many stories of it now showing till later so who knows!! My cycles are normally regular but I guess as I have been on the pill who knows! When was the last time you tested and will you test again?

@Bgrace8 as I was saying below, I was checked for that too because my sister suffered with it and only found out when TTC. It was scaring me because so many of the symptoms were similar to me, short, light cycles, had a short LP one month too. That's good you're booked in and hopefully all comes back fine! I'll be able to tell you tomorrow exactly what they test for once I've spoke to my doctor, as I realised there isn't just one test but a few they do apparently.

It’s awful isn’t it! I called the doctors today and am there for bloods in two weeks as we have a history of pcos. I have been off contraception for 3 months now but this is our second month actively trying and tracking ovulation so it’s all very new to me!

@Bgrace8 hello! Sorry you're going through the horrible waiting game too! It's not fun is it! You are definitely not alone! Is this your first time TTC?

Joining late to the party here ladies but I am exactly the same and now worried. Af due Friday I believe and no sign of it at all and tested negative, Saturday Sunday and today.. going to wait a few days before testing again but nice to know I’m not on my own!

@HT1335 it's all so confusing isn't it, one month I did the OPKs I had a really high peak up to maximum and then another wasn't any where near as high! I know, with Covid it doesn't make things very easy right now does it! I'm prepared for my doctor to just say I have to wait. I was very lucky she organised bloods in the first place but that was just cos of the family history I think! Interested to know what was tested and what levels came back, I know it was fine and I didn't need a follow up but I'd like to know none the less and speak about my concerns still. I know I was just saying that to my BF, this limbo is the worst!

@HJen22 yea the clear blue as I used the cheap ones at first and didn’t get a positive that I had ovulated but I wasn’t doing it properly so I bought the clear blue and I’m still confused. I think the gp can do a blood test for your levels of LH and I wanted to ask for that too, I wish I could speak to a fertility nurse but with Covid it’s very hard to speak to anyone. But I’m still getting absolutely no sign of AF it’s very hard to just keep waiting whilst you’re in limbo. But yes fingers crossed we hopefully get some good news towards the end of the week!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Or just an answer as to what is happening with our bodies would do!

@HT1335 everything crossed for us 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 would love nothing more than this stressful few weeks to end in the best news!

@HT1335 I have never been this late either! Since coming off the mini pill the first two months were 29 days then the rest were between 24 and 26! Last month I ovulated day 9 so it then predicted a 21 day cycle which had me worrying. It was a few days late but still a 24 day cycle so normal for me. After really thinking last month was THE month I decided not to track at all and now I'm regretting it. Annoying as I felt like this was the first month in a while I'd been a bit more laid back about it. I know, I don't even really want the doctor to say bloods as I just can't handle being told over the phone it's a BFN I don't think!

Ah I see people speaking of the flashing face, are those the clear blue? I might try those next month, I just use the cheap strips and I'm never 100% sure as when I take a photo the amount can change and I have to kind of just go with the average! I should really just take one photo and stick with it!

We sound very similar it’s very strange as since April I have never been this late! I am going to ring the GP again I just keep putting it off. I think I will test again on Friday if AF isn’t here and then call the gp as I’m totally at a loss as to what’s going on! I did an OPK and only got the flashing face and not the high fertility so I don’t even know if I ovulated, I’m still learning what everything means and how it all works so I’m finding this really helpful. Fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏻

@HT1335 my first time too! I know, one of my friends fell pregnant first month and one by accident! Lots of us are in the same boat on here, I guess when friends take a while they maybe just don't say and I never ask when someone says they are expecting. It's one of those things, decided we are ready so want it to happen now haha! That's a shame the doctor said that, I read online it was 6 months! Could you try speaking to another doctor? I feel like my appointment tomorrow I'm going to be told to be patient. I can't bring myself to test again either, I can't face another one line 😔

I normally get spotting the day or night before too but had absolutely nothing this month. I really got my hopes up last month and how with AF going MIA it's like my body is playing a cruel joke on me!

Yes it’s my first time TTC and it’s a lot harder than we expected I am 36 too but the go told me to continue TTC for one year before they would take action. I normally get spotting and I’ve had none so it feels different but I don’t want to get my hopes up to feel so disappointed again.
@ImpatientMama I hope everything goes well for you!
@HJen22 it’s very frustrating isn’t it, seems to happen so easily for everyone else too but I am trying to remain positive! I need to test again but can’t bring myself to do it just yet

@HT1335 that's the exact same as me! Been trying since April too and been regular with cycles and now 9 days late! It's crazily frustrating isn't it! I've had 3 BFNs and not going to test again until Friday if AF doesn't show. I'm pretty convinced now I'm not PG though! Is this your first time TTC?

@ImpatientMama I hope no one asks the question! I get asked it a lot, had one friend randomly message me asking if I was as she had a gut feeling (not gonna lie that got me excited) and my mum even asked and she never asks as she knows I don't like it when friends do! It would be lovely news to have for thanksgiving, I really hope you get your BFP and glad to hear you've managed to get a doctors appointment for Friday!

I am the same I have been TTC since April
And cycles been regular but AF is now 10 days late and had 2 BFNs I have really sore breasts and feel hungry but I have no idea what’s happening. I understand how you all feel very frustrated!

@sociallydistained no way! I should be well into my fertile week by now had AF shown on time since my cycles are normally pretty short! Annoying and hard not to look at it as a wasted opportunity 😔

[quote HJen22]@sociallydistained same, this cycle started 21st October and feels forever! And I normally have around 25 day cycles so this is just crazy as I'm now onto day 34! Will see what the doctor says tomorrow! She was lovely last time I got bloods to check for pcos, it all came back fine but I didn't get a chat about it so I'm hoping for some feedback tomorrow and I can say about this long cycle. I just can't see how I could be PG and not had a BFP, it's gutting! [/quote]
My cycle started the same day as you!

@HJen22 it's mad cause I could either be 4 weeks pregnant and just now showing my BFP yet or I am not at all and about to start CD1 again which is just mad. I just think if it's CD1 then what the hell was going for this entire month with all the cramps and nausea
