Missed period, not pregnant

Feeling a bit gutted. We aren't TTC but I’d have loved a second DC.

I’m on CD38, the latest I have ever been except when pregnant (usual cycle is 27-29 days). My boobs hurt, but that’s all really. I’m 38 years old. Could be peri, but I’m young for it. 5 negative tests, the latest this morning.

Hand holds would be appreciated, and also any suggestions/ideas?

@mama1111 sorry you're also going through this is so frustrating. Are you going to test again? Let us know how you get on x
@vicaragechristmas so glad you got to enjoy your day, the thoughts around this can be so consuming can't they. It's such an interesting point about your chronic fatigue, it definitely sounds like there is some change going on in your body!

I've also had some nausea and have been sick once yesterday, but like you said it's so hard to figure out if the anxiety of this is causing physical symptoms. Still no sign of AF here. I told myself no more tests because surely if I was pregnant it would've been picked up by now, but I'm approaching a 50 day cycle soon and it's hard to fight the urge to test

pretty similar to you tbh. also got these faint lines but i believe it’s a chemical pregnancy if one at all

Off in what way, @mama1111? I’m sorry you’re going through this too. It is so tedious.

I managed to enjoy today despite angsting over my missing period…

Currently my "symptoms", such as they are, are:

  1. Sore boobs, which I haven’t had as a premenstrual symptom in years, only a pregnancy one.
  2. Tubercles have appeared on my nipples again - this was noticeable during my last pregnancy but I can’t decide whether it’s just the different light in our holiday home that’s making me notice them!
  3. Weeing a bit more than usual - but not lots.
  4. One that’s personal to me, but I have Chronic Fatigue which goes away when I’m pregnant. I’ve been experiencing symptoms including post exertional malaise for the last few months, but this week I’ve managed some seriously hefty amounts of exercise with absolutely no problems, so my fatigue has lifted. Is it just because I’m on holiday? (Unlikely I think) or is it a hormonal thing?
  5. Intermittent nausea but that could be anxiety as much as pregnancy. Impossible to tell.

I’m so fed up with it all!

Hey! I am 21 and about 4/5 days late for my period, negative tests and feeling very off. No clue what’s going on:(

@vicaragechristmas sorry I didn't realise 🤦🏼‍♀️ hello again. I was debating making an appointment but the NHS website says to contact the GP after 3 missed periods so not sure I want to try and beg for a consultation if I'll just be shut down.

I feel similarly to you in that I didn't expect to feel sadness at negative test results. I've given up testing now I'm 99% sure I'm not pregnant. But then the mind wanders to thinking about what is going ON in there. I don't know if your surgery is registered with the MyGP app, but I can book appointments on there without having to ring first. It may put your mind at ease if you have an appointment made, then at least you can look forward to starting investigations.

Hey @tobi21, we talked on your thread before. So sorry you’re dealing with this too. I’m feeling quite depressed and deflated today, and I need to pick myself up as we are on holiday and it's our last full day.

If I were you I’d call the GP now - I intend to on Monday when we are back home. I want to ring them today but that isn’t realistic.

Just wish I knew what was going on. I didn’t realise how badly I wanted to be pregnant until it became 100% clear that I’m not.

No explanation or words of wisdom unfortunately but a hand hold as I'm in the same boat. Cycle day 45 for me today. I'm only 26 so wondering how long to leave it before giving GP a ring? It's the worst getting a negative test and having no reason why your body isn't doing the thing it normally does!!
