No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️

@lastbany it's so frustrating isn't it! Same, I have no clue what's happening! I've had no spotting, nothing, and not had cramps since last week! I feel totally fine this week!

I know, I don't want to see another BFN so I'm going to hold off. Last time I did an early hcg stick I told myself I'd not do that again, next test I did I wanted to see a positive after a late period. Typical I waited for the late period and still BFN.

@HJen22 half of me wants to get a frer so that I know for deffo but can't bear to see bfn

@HJen22 haha I know I feel like today af has to come if not I've never had a cycle like this? Day 32 today only ever had a 31 day cycle before came on day32 and was when came off mini pill so am like what's happening!!

@lastbany I know, that threw me when I first came off the pill. I was all like oh fab I must be ovulating cos I've got a period then I read you can still have one! Why is the body so complicated! Now I'm thinking damn I should have done the OPKs!

I have read stories online about people taking longer to get their BFP. As if the wait isn't hard enough 🙄 TWW is getting longer and longer!

@HJen22 that's what I'm worried about! But I believe you still have periods when don't ovulate?! I have seen so much saying try week after but a just think no I would see by now!! I feel so so bloated today like my belly's huge still got cramps but mild!

No sign of AF for me either and I have absolutely no symptoms at all! 4 days late, longest cycle I've had prior to this was 29 days and that was right at the very beginning of coming off the pill and this is now day 29. I'm holding out to test until a full week has passed, either Saturday or Monday! My BF has been speaking about a gut feeling but I'm just not sure. I think I'm now just worried I've not ovulated at all!

Bfn again this morning still mild cramps and no sign of af! So annoying just feel like can't possibly be preg now

@ImpatientMama god I hope so too!!

@Lmac2018 thrush can caus these symptoms however speak to the doctor

@ImpatientMama I know I feel you!! The longest cycle I have ever had is 31 days then started af the next day! It was a one off cycle and I had not long been off pill after baby so put down to that I'm on day 31 so if not come tomorow will be same I ask holding out till Friday then will buy frer! I'm sure by weekend we will know either way!!

Hey girls can anyone help me out with so e advice ? So have bad covid for the last 2 week's, so haven't really taken notice of symptoms. Over the weekend I got tender and full boobs. Then yesterday, my period due date, I started with thrush and it's been painful to wee and uncomfortable cramps, not painful, lower pelvic area. Since the thrush has started up I've had weird spotting kinda only when I wipe after peeing, if I don't pee there's none there and it's just a speck of stringy pink blood or tinged TP

@ImpatientMama I know, it's so hard! I spent 2 days thinking every time I went to the loo AF had arrived until I did a test, and even then I couldn't really decide if i wanted to do it or not, but thought either way it was best to know, I knew I'd be sad but then I'd stop wondering. But still no sign and I'm left still wondering! I have short periods so it should have been and gone and a few days til FW!

@ImpatientMama any sign of af or any more tests?

@HJen22 ye that's true! Hope we all get answers soon 😳😳

@lastbany I know, at this time too it cannot be easy, I am sure you are doing a fantastic job!

It's good to think ahead, and 2 12 hour shifts is still a lot of work!! We already talk about what we'll do, i'd go back to work 3 days if they allowed it, my BF would hopefully work a 4 day week and our parents would help out two days. I've wanted to be a mum for as long as I can remember so really hoping it happens soon. Sorry I have been unhelpful with any late BFP advise! But it's nice to chat to someone in the same position!

@HJen22 especially at this time it's not the place I really want to be 😳 I went to back to work when my babies were 3/4 months old prior but I was 19 then 24 I am now 36 it's different I feel more a home bird lol and live been at home cooking and making a home we just can't afford for me to not wirk! But will cut hours to two nights shifts when I go back if I ever get preg again lol that way they won't even know I'm gone 🥰

@lastbany you never know, totally could have ovulated later! I'm hoping that's the case for me too!

Ouch that's a lot of cramps, not good! I really hope they ease up and result in a BFP! Have you had many cycles late? OPKs said I ovulated day 9 last month and then app predicted a 21 day cycle! Ended up being 24 which was more normal, that was another thing that had me panicking!

I totally understand you wanting to spend time with your babies, and being an A&E nurse must be an incredibly demanding job!!

@HJen22 just looked back at my last pregnancy and I took a frer 2 days before in the afternoon and got a very very almost couldn't see positive next day used fmu still very faint but there and tht was when I was due af so maybe it's possible?! I thought I ovulated on day 12 when had dating scan said I ovulated day 17 I know this isn't an exact science but it's what I'm holding onto lol
I littally haven't had a day off cramps for 10 days! Usually I get day or two before
I do think I'm clutching at strawS! It's sounds awful but I really wanted to only be back at work a little while then come off on mat leave so when I go bacn I can cut hours to spend most my time we babies, I work as a a and e nurse and work 3 or shifts a week 13 hours and hate the thought of leaving her! (Due bacn jan) we can do our mat leave bacn to bacn this would have been even better

@lastbany my phone app is next Tuesday too! If anything I'm just hoping she can tell me what I was tested for! As I was reading there isn't just one test for PCOS. That's awful, you should get the same as anyone even if you've had children already, the waiting and the process is just as hard.

Is there a chance you ovulated later and maybe not as many dpo as you think? I'm kinda clinging onto that hope!

I was having cramps and creamy cm (sorry tmi) and sore boobs which I had last month too before AF, on the lead up to expected AF this month too but absolutely nothing now at all; not even exhausted like I usually am before AF. I avoided doing BBT as last month it was saying I had possible implantation dip and it really got my hopes up. Can't quite decide whether to do it again next month or just OPKs x

@HJen22 I know so true! Well funny I booked a app online this morning with a lady doctor earliest they have is Tuesday! Although I saw there's not much they can do b it refer to fertility or gyni however of you have children you apparently aren't entitled! Very annoying! Just don't get why I am still having strong cramps just nothing comes! With my last preg I do remeber having gramps after cramps but af never arrived although I did test 2 days early with a frer! But I remebe it been very faint

@lastbany I'm so sorry that the doctor was so horrible! And also delayed you trying! Sorry to hear about your miscarriages also; I can't even begin to imagine how heartbreaking that is 😢 could you maybe have an appointment with another doctor? I also don't think it's ever too soon to speak to them if you are worried. My sister found out she had PCOS whilst trying for her first, and when i got a few months down the line with no BFP, along with short cycles and light periods I started to really worry. I got bloods done at the doctor (I think the only reason they let me was due to family history) which I was told came back fine. But now it's a few months later I've asked for a discussion with the doctor as I didn't get to speak to them last time, just called and got results from the receptionist. The phone call last time before the bloods, the doctor was lovely so hoping for the same one when I have my phone app next week. I know, I haven't had a cycle longer than 26 days since May!

It's so hard not to worry, and have it on your mind all the time; I truly know how you feel! And I had hoped doing no OPKs/BBT would relax me this month but now I'm worried it will change ovulation day and if we missed it!

Just tried now to see if night time urine made difference! But nope one lone with a very strange ink run! Was all over test side and I got hopes up then went to other side again is a very cheap test as can see
