Hello! We are trying for our second child and I am frustrated. I am sure several of you can relate to being frustrated with this whole TTC thing. 😅 Anyways. AF was due 3 days ago and has not shown her ugly face yet. But I have also gotten nothing but negatives (and one invalid). I was planning on not testing again until AF is a week late. Anyone get their BFP that late or even later? I am irregular, so it could just be a late period? I just want to know if I really am pregnant or not, so I can move on! Thanks for any insight you all provide! 😊

@lastbany it's so strange isn't it! I've had this feeling before AF but not for this long! Guess we just need to keep ourselves busy! I wish I was more patient! I'm now more worrying about all the other things that could be wrong rather than if im pregnant!

lastbany · 22/11/2020 09:04

@HJen22 yep same!! Felt sure the other day was out shopping with baby littally ran to car nothing!! SO strange

HJen22 · 22/11/2020 08:44

@lastbany may not come to anything! Do you normally have spotting beforehand? I still have the feeling that AF has came and then nothing. Not even had creamy cm the last few days like I had been having, just the constant wet feeling. Sorry tmi!

lastbany · 22/11/2020 08:38

@HJen22 so I've just gone toilet after my wipe the smallest tiny pink tinge discharge, however can't help but think means af on way!!

HJen22 · 22/11/2020 08:15

Nope still nothing for me either! I was up through the night with a sore stomach which I thought might be AF cramps but still no sign. Haha same, I've got a test but I might not even use it until next Friday if possible! Then that would be 2 weeks late!

lastbany · 22/11/2020 08:02

Any news girls?? Me still no bloody af! Not tested saving for Monday lol (no idea why) haha think it's caus got doctor Tuesday so thinking can mention!

HJen22 · 21/11/2020 09:27

@lastbany that's what my BF keeps saying; that's it's too early and some people don't find out for ages. I just know a lot of people find our very early on!! I am sure it will happen for you, I know it's so easy to worry about every single thing though including age, I'm 32 and never been PG so I worry if I can even get! I hope that the Dr can give you some advice whether you already have children shouldn't matter. Totally understand it would be lovely to have two young ones close and the two older close! My BF had a daughter from a previous relationship who wasn't planned, so I sometimes think he thinks I'm insane with all this worry and planning!

lastbany · 21/11/2020 09:21

@HJen22 very true! When I was 19 I fell preg with my first didn't know till 4 months! Had lots of neg tests however can't remeber when as so long ago abs was so young! Second at 25 knew at 5 weeks again didn't know all this ttc af opk haha just fell preg both times on pill!! Ten months after fell preg again on pill! Had term as wasn't right time! Had implant and guess what fell preg!!! This ended in miscarriage then had coil two years great then guess what?! Fell preg!!! Thai was at 30 when they removed it I mc then had could again (silly I know) haha but didn't want any hormones then me and dp decided ok after Xmas we will try had cool REM feb last af March bang was pregnant!! (Did use opk) baby is now 11 months now 7 months of trying (ok first 4 month we weren't actually tracking etc I just stopped pill!) and here I am feel like what's happening! I have been so overly fertile that now I think at 36 an I just too old or what's happening to me am I been told enough is enough and be happy with what I have (which I am very happy) we just wanted a baby so we have two close as my older two there's obviously a big gap! Which I love but due to wanting to cut hours at work etc o can't do until have had another mat leave at full pay!! Plus my age we were keen to have baby asap!! Think when you will it it doesn't happen lol

HJen22 · 21/11/2020 09:06

@lastbany that's what I keep thinking, after going for it FW we then only DTD 15th and 20th, and even then that's still 11dpo yesterday! And the chances of doing it bang on the right day after what I thought was FW I would have thought would be slim. But I guess the body doesn't always do what we think! I don't want to falsely hope that maybe I'm just one of the ladies who doesn't show up for a while. This is my first TTC and it's not how I'd expected it to go. A late AF should be BFP and all happy days 😂 if only!

lastbany · 21/11/2020 08:44

@HJen22 I Judah looked we did 18/22/29 all cd after the day 15 so no idea!! Usually ovulate around 15/17 I believe so even if was day 18 surely would show now day 35?!

HJen22 · 21/11/2020 08:29

@lastbany I have been thinking the exact same, we DTD from the end of AF every second day (sometimes 3rd) to cover just before and after fertile week then have a rest haha so I'm thinking if I ovulated late too we'll have missed it and there's a chance didn't even do it once if I ovulated after the 20th 🙈 I've expected AF that week so wasnt bothered haha! We did say we'll just DTD all month rather than track but that's more exhausting! I didn't even think about late ovulation because when I have tracked it's been early! One day on CD9 so we start DTD right after AF normally and that covered if early! Still hope for us yet though if no AF. I have another FRER and I'm just going to have to wait another week if AF doesn't come I think.

Mrsmummy90 · 21/11/2020 08:24

They were all stark negatives. We dtd 3 days after ovulation so god knows how we caught! We were tracking my cycle to avoid getting pregnant as dd1 was only 8 months old but it didn’t work 😂
I figured something was up because I was having a drink one evening and my taste had changed and I hated it. Did a few tests and they were all bfn. Then after nearly 2 weeks o got a blazing bfp xx

lastbany · 21/11/2020 08:21

@HJen22 same here did a frer yest (late on granted) but still stark white!! Just don't get it cd35 for me today with cycles around 28/30 just think even if I ovulated mega late surely would see something now! Plus my problem also is we dtd like max around when we thought and tht did us in for rest month haha so think we dtd odd time for rest like every 3 days or sow thing I know only takes one time just think what's going on?!!!

HJen22 · 21/11/2020 08:17

@Mrsmummy90 did you not? Were they all totally BFN with not even a faint line? Did you ovulate late do you know? AF is now a week late and 3 BFN, one was FRER. My cycles are normally around 24/25 days and this is now CD32. The wait is killing me!!!

Mrsmummy90 · 21/11/2020 00:16

Those are definitely bfps! Grin congrats!
With dd2 I didn’t get a bfp until af was nearly 2 weeks late! Xx

HJen22 · 20/11/2020 23:47

@ImpatientMama yeah I didn't to start with, I just went with the app for an ovulation estimate. But the more I read online about what others did to track, I thought why not! OPKs are ok but the BBT tracking is a bit stressful, doing it first thing and making sure you've had enough sleep before it is hard and then one month it implied I'd had an implantation dip, gave me a lot of false hope and became obsessive checking! But at least it confirmed I'd ovulated. Might just do OPKs next month again and see! Thank you! I hope so too, there are def lines there! And I'm sure it will get darker as the days go on!!

ImpatientMama · 20/11/2020 23:37

I didn't do OPKs or BTT with my previous pregnancy, so I felt no need to do it this time. I feel like doing those would make me stress more. But I know lots of others do it with success. I will keep praying for you all, and all the ladies TTC. I look forward to hearing about your BFPs soon! Hopefully mine is the real deal. 🤞

OP posts:
HJen22 · 20/11/2020 16:24

I also think this month is the most relaxed I've been so it's just such a rubbish feeling. And makes me regret not doing OPKs and BTT cos I've no clue if or when I ovulated!

HJen22 · 20/11/2020 16:23

@lastbany it's so frustrating isn't it 😞 why is there this confusing grey area, I need a clear BFP or AF to come, this BFN and no AF is just so hard to deal with. I've already been struggling with this mentally and have been worried about my cycle etc so this doesn't help. My BF bless still has hope but I'm just like how can I be when there isn't even a faint line!

sociallydistained · 20/11/2020 16:23

@ImpatientMama

Ok ladies. A couple days ago my tests had not even a hint of a second line. Trust me. I looked very closely for one. I caved and took my last two tests this morning. Am I crazy, or is there a VERY faint second line? I don't trust the blue dye test 100%, but the pink dye one does have a second line...right?! I am going to buy more tests and test again in a couple days to see if that line gets darker. If I am crazy, let me know, because it's possible. Haha. 😂
100% see a line!! I'm so happy for you
lastbany · 20/11/2020 15:16

@HJen22 same as me! Hoping doctor bit more useful than before!! Stupid this though!!!

HJen22 · 20/11/2020 14:55

Absolutely stark white on mine too, I did a First Response for the first time too. Had a feeling it was going to come up blank but thought worth a try I guess. Don't see any way of me being pregnant now either, that's 19dpo and even if I ovulated late it should still be around 14dpo. Just need to wait for AF and hope it arrives otherwise no idea what to do. Have a call with the doctor Tuesday anyways so can ask then!

ImpatientMama · 20/11/2020 14:34

@HJen22 thanks! Glad I am not just seeing things! Good luck to you!! Let us know your results!

lastbany · 20/11/2020 14:34

@HJen22 haha I know soon as I saw her positive was like stuff it il trying some of that but honestly there's no way pregnant now just don't get what is happening

HJen22 · 20/11/2020 14:31

@ImpatientMama amazing! I def see a second line in both tests! So happy for you!!!! Congrats!

I have caved and am away to buy some tests now too!
