Hi all. First time poster so please excuse any mistakes!

I’ve been trying for a baby for 6 years. Unexplained infertility apparently!!

this month I’m 4 days late and had 2 negative tests 😞

I’ve had discharge, mild cramping and mild back ache, like my period is coming but not as intense as usually.

my cycle is never longer than 27 days. I definitely ovulated and had sex at the right time - and more 🤩

im now concerned….could this be the start of menapause? I’m 41. I really hope not but I don’t understand the lateness and negative test.

im making a DR appointment - not sure what they will do but in the mean time has anyone got any experiences or insight they could share?

thank you in advance. X

is there a chance you ovulated later than usual therefore shifting your expected period date?
Im assuming based on the length of time you have been TTC you track within an inch of your life.

I've read a few comments here from people who didn't get a BFP until they were a week late, so it is possible!

It's the uncertainty that's driving me crazy. A BFP would be amazing, but if not, at least if AF starts, then I know and can move on to thinking about the next cycle.

wow! How similar! Is it possible to get negative tests when you’re this late but are actually pregnant?

I hope all works out how you wish! X

Meet your sister. Also normally regular, but currently four days late with cramping and tests showing BFN. In my situation, I went through a week of extreme anxiety around the time I would have been expecting to ovulate, so I'm wondering if that delayed things because I can't think of what else it could be. It's so stressful - I just want AF to start at this point.
