No period & negative tests!?

Hi Everyone,

We have been ttc since September 21 and got pregnant in the summer 22 but had a early miscarriage at 5 weeks. I am very lucky with the fact my periods are always regular and come within a day or two of being due. I was due on Friday 9th but still no period and negative pregnancy tests? Has anyone had this before? Cramps come and go so sometimes I feel like I am going to come on then they go. Any advice please?

@orca147 right there with you. Another negative test this morning but going away with my friends this weekend and felt the need to make up some lame excuse about why I cant drink much. So rubbish if it comes to nothing!

It is comforting to hear we are not alone in this, it makes me feel less crazy and obsessive! Still no sign of af but going to test again today or in the morning. We are having a christmas party tomorrow and im thinking its probably best not to have a drink if my
period hasn’t started just in case and then i think im daft for thinking theres a chance im pregnant!!!! nightmare!!.

Hi All, I'm also in the same boat. Been ttc for about 9 months now with no luck at all. AF was due on Monday, bfn on Wednesday and gearing up to test again tomorrow if the witch doesnt arrive. A wee bit tmi but I have lots of white creamy cm which is unusual for me before AF. Just need some clarity either way...feeling the torture of going beyond the 2ww.

I was 8 days late a few months ago & usually regular as clockwork. We were TTC. It was torture, getting negative tests (I did 13 actually!) eventually AF arrived. I genuinely think it was my mind/body & the pressure I was putting it under TTC, because in 20 years of having periods I have never been more than 3 days late, absolute max.

Similar boat as you although I just got my AF today after being 5 days late. I usually spot for a day or two before AF as well and had no spotting this time so I really got my hopes up.

I have read that for some women it takes a while for the hcg levels to be high enough for a preg test to say positive. Have read sometimes it can take an extra week or so to appear positive. Have you tried a clear blue early detection test?

Sorry you’re in a bit of a waiting game at the moment, my fingers are crossed it’s positive news!

It really is…. the 2ww is bad enough but throw a delayed period into the mix and its a recipe for stress!

Thanks for taking the time to reply lovely. It's so frustrating not knowing where you stand isn't it! I might call my GP Monday but I'm not sure whether they will do anything. Xx

hi, no advice im afraid but I am literally in the same boat as you. we have been ttc for 5 yrs and finally fell pregnant in the summer but miscarried at 5 weeks. My period is normally like clockwork and was due on the 10th but its still a no show and all negative tests. I keep feeling like its started and then… nothing. It’s horrible and distressing so i have decided to stop testing and wait a little longer. I guess thats all we can do for now, wait a while!! fingers crossed for us!!
