Hey everyone

We're ttc on cycle 2, I'm normally on a 25-28 day cycle but on CD31 now and nothing, I did a test this evening but was negative, going to try again in the morning

I'm never this late so not sure what's going on😓 anyone else late but negative test?

@Fireplacedreamer only folic acid which I've been taking since a few weeks before I came off the pill. I did look at the seven seas tablets but read so many reviews about them causing longer cycles so decided to steer clear!

@Gspps maybe it's just my body trying to trick me! I've had no usual pregnancy symptoms (eg the nausea or sore boobs that everyone seems to get) but I have had heartburn since ovulation day and a metallic taste for 3 days so I was feeling hopeful for that reason! I'll keep retesting until I get an answer either AF or a positive test, they're only IC's so I don't feel bad wasting them!!

@Fireplacedreamer
I've been taking folic acid and vit d but since the first cycle and other cycle was pretty normal, unless it doesn't start straight away?xx

So glad someone else is in the same boat!
I keep getting cramps like af but nothing else, a bit more discharge (sorry for tmi) and been feeling super moody!

I can't think as to why else I'd be late at all!

Maybe your cycle is a bit longer and still too early to test?

So horrible having no idea what's going on 😭
I shouldn't be late for any other reason as I haven't been stressed etc, unless it's a hormone thing :/
Let me know how your test goes in the morning!x

@Gspps and @Bee44 have you started any supplements?
I had 28day cycles then started taking trying to conceive seven seas and it made my periods longer. Last month was 32days and this month it looks like day 36 AF is due.

I was literally going to post the same thread! I'm cd26, last month I had a 23day cycle - it was my first month off the pill though after 13 years but I was expecting a similar length this month (I had super short cycles when I was younger which is why I went on the pill). I ovulated on cd13 (not tracking, just know from symptoms and increased EWCM) so I was expecting either AF or a BFP last Saturday. I've tested every morning for about 5 days now and BFN. I usually have cramps a few days before AF arrives and so far nothing. Last week I had aches in my pelvic/vagina area which I'd not experienced before for a few hours and then they disappeared, nothing like AF cramps or aches though as I usually get them much higher up on the left. Not sure what any of this means 🤔
