TTC baby number 1 - late period negative test

@choccrumpet I’ve just seen this, it looks like a line to me! Will you do another with FMU tomorrow?

@choccrumpet fingers firmly crossed for you!

I’m on day 39 now. The weird thing is I’ve never missed a period before so it all just feels a bit odd.

@surreychick @ploopypleepy thank you both, I'm still not sure / not wanting to believe it in case it's not real so trying not to get my hopes up. It's so hard hoping after previous losses!

@surreychick that's so frustrating. What cycle day are you on now? Hopefully the doctor can give you more info and help.

We’ve tried pre seed - can confirm it’s a bit messy but it does make things a little easier!

I didn’t test this morning - still nothing though. Will call the dr in the morning.

My SIL mentioned about the early pregnancy units yesterday but you have to have had a positive test to go... otherwise I’d go there and get a blood test!

@choccrumpet that looks like a positive to me!!!??!!

@choccrumpet that's deffo a positive, I had a molar pregnancy a few months ago and that's what my cheapies
Looked like when I was checking my hcg levels following surgery !!!

@Gspps hope you're feeling okay and taking some time for yourself. To be honest I'm mentally not ready to let go of this missed period yet so I'm going to wait until my bloods to get an answer and if it's a negative then consider this just a random missed period then.

Like I said, I can't stop testing. I used my cheap strips and I can see a faint line but really hard to tell if it's an evap or has colour to it. Any ideas?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I had a day like that recently so know how you feel. Do what you can to make yourself feel better, treat yourself if you can. They could all be symptoms..

I know, there’s so much less we can do at the moment to take our minds off things !

@choccrumpet I’m still so bloated and had another upset stomach this morning, now feeling sick and sorry for myself. Also not feeling quite right

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 you're so good to wait to test. I can't even think about how much money I've spent on tests, I've just ordered a few more and want to space them out and only use what I have for the rest of this cycle.

That sounds nice, I'll be doing the same today (as is the norm for every day off nowadays 😅). I find it so hard to think about anything else though, this is constantly on my mind, can't even concentrate on work, would rather have all my focus on this than anything else.

@choccrumpet I’m also being a bit tight, because at this point I’m just peeing on money 😂

Yes go for a walk, and get your partner to spoil you today. Have a lovely dinner tonight, watch a film. I’m meeting a friend later for some exercise and otherwise getting into a good box set and book

@choccrumpet it’s def possible your chemical wld throw things out esp if you didn’t get a pos opk.

Waiting.... last test was on Friday. Will test against on Tuesday at I think that’s 12 days

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 ah you've just answered my question! I'm also tired of seeing negatives but I can't stop testing either. I'm okay, a bit frustrated today as I thought I'd finally see a second line this morning. I know I don't feel normal so that's what's frustrating me even more. Going to try distract myself today, go on a walk. Fed up of seeing negatives for past 7 months

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 maybe but it's so hard to tell and at this point I imagine lines because I want it to be there so badly so I'm not sure.

I had ewcm around CD20 and stopped testing then too as it wasn't getting any darker but yeah I may have ovulated later due to my chemical last cycle, there's no other reason for late ovulation, I wasn't stressed or ill or on medication. I'm so impatient I just want to know! Have you done any tests or are you waiting?

@choccrumpet it’s so funny we are the same! I’m okay thanks. Trying to just ignore it now, and although I’ve got a box of two frers I’m okay not testing til much later because I’m sick of seeing neg results.

Are you okay?

I’m rubbish at seeing lines, to me it looks like one of the supersquinter threads though where others can see.

I didn’t have a peak either and stopped testing after CD 20. However I did have EWCM appearing throughout the 2WW, and even right up to 2 days before period. So maybe we were both much later than we would have thought

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 yeah you're right, I'm 8 days late counting from day after period was due. What a coincidence! How are you doing?

My guess is I may have ovulated on the 20th feb at the latest (but this is only a good guess) so that means today is 15 days after that. I could have ovulated before then or after too so I really have no idea as my OPKs didn't show a peak.

Here's a pic but honestly there's barely anything in there, I can see something super super faint only in certain light so I'm taking it as a negative right now..

@choccrumpet I think we are actually bang on the same, because I’m 8 days late, but counting the day after my period was due as the 1st day

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 was due last Saturday on CD29 so am 9 days late today if I count the day my period was due as day 1 late 😔 i think you are a day or 2 ahead of me

@choccrumpet I’m sorry you’re feeling low xx

If you ovulated late, when’s the last time it was possible before your period?

I figured out last time I had sex was 25th Feb, so I’m next going to test 12 days past this and see.

You have faint lines though! Do you have a picture of them?

@choccrumpet how late are you now?
