I am actually four days late and my period just arrived, partly releived as it would be an August baby and just 4 starting school but also partly worried it won't happen at all!

My DD was my Birthday gift three years ago, maybe baby no.2 will be conceived around the same time? Mid January. Anyhow it has spurred me into action, I am joining a gym next Monday to get fit and also have a doctors appointment as I am a bit worried that the irregular periods may be a sign that I am Peri Menopausal.

I recommend tracking your periods, either a calendar, Outlook, phone calendar etc, create a recurring appointment and when you are late amend it,

I am 3 days late and 3 x negative tests. However with my DD I was 5 days late before I got a faint line in the positive window.

Do some people not produce much hormone at the beginning? Is this a thing? Or am I just late and holding onto dream of being pregnant? Could I be pre menopausal? I am 40 next month.

Hey all! Im glad im not alone! Im 8 days late for my regular period. Tested again this morning with fmu and got bfn :( I had slight bleeding brown pinkish and some bright red 6 days before my missed period that lasted 3 and a half days. My cycles have been normal 30 day cycles since i got off bc and we started ttc in August. Im so confused ive had multiple symptoms dizziness morning sickness craving milk whichI despise uusually. Also my breasts are full/ heavy and my a reolas are darker with veins dark blue directly to them. Never noticed that before period. The last couple days ive been having some twinges in my lower abdomen and my cm is clear and watery seems like way more than usual. I feel like im going crazy!!! Ive called three different doc offices and none of them will do blood testing anymore. Any advice would be great!!!! Thanks in advance and baby dust!!

Hi beautiful brunette any joy yet? What's your current outcome after the above msg

BeautifulBrunette · 03/09/2014 02:41

I have been reading all of these posts and realize that the majority of folks who are having issues similar to mine have gotten their periods at the 40-50 day mark of being late.

I am 56 days late for my monthly. I have spent countless amounts of dollars on tests, gone to a couple of doctors and been tested and all of them said BFN.

I feel cramping in my lower abdomen, pain in my back, my breasts hurt to touch or bump anything, I have heartburn constantly, I feel nauseated easily, and I am going crazy with my moods.

The doctor said to wait another month and we will try at the 3 month mark, but after reading all of the posts in this thread I am starting to lose hope. Is anyone out there who has had a 50+ day cycle and found out they were pregnant? Or should I just consider this a lost cause?

Hi! I'm new to this site! I'm hoping someone could give me answers too. I'm experiencing the same situation as well atm. I'm now 2-3 days late and having period cramps and white discharge. I've also been having mood swings and have been craving foods. My boobs and nipples were also sore and have been on and off. But the cramps and lower back pain were obvious. I did a pregnancy test this afternoon, first response. However, i had a pee half an hour earlier with the urine i used to test so the urine was just a small amount. It was negative. Can someone explain to me what happened?

carolluvscats · 09/08/2013 22:33

So frustrating! My update is that on day 32 my nasty period came. Was just weirdly late. Bleugh.

MichelleLKelly1971 · 09/08/2013 16:57

Hi ladies, I am new to this and think I may have started a thread when I could have just posted on here....
I am currently either 6 or 13 days late for my period and my partner and I are trying to get pregnant but my tests are showing as negative. I have polycystic overies which is why my cycle can vary. However, I am usually between 28-30 days and have only every been 35 days once, last October. I have symptoms of being pregnant, headache, back ache, tender breasts, cramps (not bad cramps tho) and vaginal discharge. Can anyone help? I'm going to my GP on Monday to ask for a blood test as this is doing my head in....

Nicci042000 · 09/08/2013 07:53

Nicci042000 · 09/08/2013 07:51

This is my third late day with no sign of my period at all. I have done a tescos homebrand test and I has come back negative. What would you suggest? Thank you in advance x
