hey ladies im Sooo confused.
I'm cd 40.
I got my opk peak on cd 20
BFN tests (Inc this morning)
No signs of my period. Cervix is high.
Couple days a go I started getting discharge, like ewcm but thinner. I did an opk and it was low.

Today I've had proper ewcm so I took another opk and it's high/possible peak

The preggo tests in using are internet cheapies if that makes a difference.

Hi all just thought I would update for anyone following, I got my blood panel results back today and they showed my thyroid is out so my meds are being increased for that and then another blood panel in 6 weeks.

My period arrived and it's fucking brutal.
Really bad cramps, heavy and small clots in there, not fun.
Anyway.. onto the next cycle.
I think I wanna try temping but I really need one that doesn't beep loudly and stores the temps.

How frustrating for you! Everyone always says how rare a false positive is but they do seem to crop up a fair bit!

Cd 55.
Ovia says my period is due Tuesday - this is based off the second lh peak.
Samsung health said period is due in 2 days, this is based off my average cycles cause I don't input the dates or data to Samsung health, I was so regular before it was a handy reminder!

I had some very light spotting today, some pink streak mucus when I wiped.
I have some mild one sided cramps this evening also.
If no period by Tuesday I'll take another test incase I did ovulate with that second surge 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Spoke to Dr.
First thing they're going to do is have me in for a blood panel. If that flags nothing I'll be sent for an ultrasound to just check everything out.

The random positive test is more than likely a false positive as I thought, especially as I've had multiple negatives since but gave me the spiel about pains and ectopic pregnancy etc

My cycles went from regular like clockwork to all over the place around 6m ago
I had a 45 day cycle in October time.
The weird thing is the random positive test 😅 I can only imagine it was for whatever reason a false positive at this point cause I absolutely don't think I'm preggo. I thought it was going to be a chemical until the period didn't come.

This may be one of those months where you skip a period completely OP.
Google will tell you various reasons why it can happen but when it's happened to me I've never found out why.
Then the next month it's just reverted back to normal.

Cycle day 53, 10/11dpo (if that second lh surge was ovulation), BFN this morning.
Dr is calling me at some point today so we'll see what they say.

I done a clear blue yesterday, stark negative. One last night which had a thin blue line within 3 minutes and I just went to do another one and very faint but 100% a line 😳 so going but me thinking I actually ovulated late last sun/mon puts me at 7/8dpo.

So you could and have probably ovulated later than you thought as like I said I was like you I had positive opks Dec but then I had another one last week. So fingers crossed you get some answers soon or the doc can do a blood test for you x

Groundhogday2025 · 20/01/2025 15:14

An LH surge doesn’t guarantee ovulation. I would say you didn’t ovulate in December and your body geared up for another go. Hopefully you’ll get a positive or as period soon so you know either way.

I'm a little older than you OP but my cycles have gone haywire this last few years and I've had several months with very late periods or some just skipped altogether.
I put it down to peri

When I did fall pregnant I got my positive on cd56 (although hadn't tested earlier so can't say when I'd have first seen a faint line). It was a strong dye stealer when I tested and I now know I would have been about 5 weeks pregnant at that point.

I've id got pregnant from my first opk peak in Dec, I'd be around 7 weeks and would have expected something on the test I took Saturday but was BFN
And if I ovulated at my second peak im approx 8dpo but I don't know if what to think tbh 😂

@SkaterChick Hopefully you get some answers keep us posted! My boobs are absolutely agony still it's ridiculous. I'm cd45 so right behind you but my docs appointment not until 29th. Might try to call and bring it forward but not really sure what to explain to reception when they ask why 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

No signs of my period, not even any spotting.

I was meant to see Dr tues but they cancelled and rebooked for Thursday next week 🙄

So you're like me you know there's nothing else sinister wrong. I forgot you had the bfp that one time 🤔 so strange as it's not even faint. I mean I've had a chemical but mine was followed by very light pink to heavy bleeding within 2 hours for a week but who knows perhaps maybe you don't always have bleeding. It's a minefield isn't it 🤯
Maybe book a doctor's appt and explain about your positive test, lack of period and they may do a blood test just to rule out anything.

I'm 35 and perimenopause scares the hell out of me 😩 cd41 still nothing. Thought I saw a shadow line on a test today but so hard to tell that I wouldn't accept it as positive so have to wait longer.
Have you had any cramping? I had such bad cramping 26/27th Dec when I got my positive clear blue opk so was convinced I ovulated then but then I had the same cramping (like af cramps) 2 days ago all day which is so bizarre they died down but I've just had twinges now and again. I had a laparoscopy last year so I know mines not endo. My periods have never been an easy ride ever since I started so I always knew TTC would probably take some time so praying I've not left it too late.

I had surgery almost a year ago to remove a lost contraceptive coil.
They said I have no endo or pcos, no fibroids and no scarring and everything looks all good.
Periods continued like clockwork for another few months till augustish.

It's so weird I had that properly positive test and nothing since.
I expected it to be a chemicals and Mt period to show up but nothing 😅

I also had an opk peak in Dec. So who knows!

I'm 34 so I guess it's possible but I don't have other symptoms of peri menopause.

OP posts:
Tcsha · 15/01/2025 18:20

You may have ovulated late. I had this, my period didn’t come for 2.5 months!

Also, it’s probably not the case for you, but my friend had this when she went through perimenopause at 34, could that be possible?

Cd45 and still no period!

All I can think is that I've skipped a period and ovulated again
And the test must have been a false positive.

OP posts:
Miracledust29 · 14/01/2025 16:02

Hmm strange as you're opks are looking strong. Annoyingly I don't have any in the house to compare but I'm literally the same as you re all the symptoms. Usually when I read people symptom spotting I'm a bit sceptical but it's frustrating when you really do feel different yourself.
I'm the same I had a dr's appointment booked to discuss options for fertility as I'm 35 so time not on my side but that's not until 29th. I'll have driven myself insane by then if AF hasn't arrived. My cervix is same as you it's been high and soft the past week so much so I can barely reach it and like you said mine is always super low before af......not that I started checking until reading these threads 😬

My opks log and today's preggo tests

(Ignore the cd cause I haven't had a period since start December and even though there isn't a period logged in premom it's started my cycle count again and I don't know how to change that)

12 days late, BFN, positive opk

Hey just wondering if any update? I'm literally in the same position. Cd39 for me. I wrote a post just now with all my symptoms nausea (to the point I was sick), strong cramps but not as bad as AF, my boobs are slightly itchy, an abundance of lotiony type cm but still bloody bfn. I had a positive opk confirmed by clear blue 19th Dec and dtd all over the right days. Slowly driving myself crazy over here.

Hey so my opks have gone faint again so that's consistent with a surge.
It's now been 48 hours since I got the one off positive and further tests this morning were negative

I'm nauseous, yesterday I was almost sick 3 times.
Cramps but not as bad as period pains
My boobs felt weird this morning, reminded me of a slightly engorged feeling from when I was bf my first, we stopped breastfeeding in may last year and when I gave them a little squeeze I got a mix of milk and colostrum. They're slightly achy and maybe feel sorta heavy but don't feel bigger or anything I don't think.
I'm bloated, can barely get my coat zipped up.
I'm tired, I'm getting a huge wave of fatigue around 3-5pm and it's a struggle to nap.
Mt cervix still feels high (it gets super low when I have a period as I can feel it when inserting/removing my moon cup)
I've got from loads of ewcm at the time of the opk peak to a thick dreamt lotion type discharge as well, tmi but it's enough to collect in my knickers!

Drs can't fit me in till next week and that's just a phone call so I'll see what they say I guess.
