Have been trying for a baby for about 4 months - periods always regular - now 5 days late, 4 tests later and still negative results! Any suggestions anyone?

Hi everyone.
I am new! Don't know the jargon or the etiquette or anything yet!
Since coming off Cerazette in March my cycle took a while to settle but the past 3 months I have been dead on 28 days, can even pinpoint it to lunchtime! We have been ttc since March. We have a 7 year old son and have had 2 miscarriages and an ectopic (now only have one Fallopian tube so chances are reduced anyway).
I was due yesterday. No sign of it. I have a stomach ache, but a strange one, not like period pains like twingey / niggley pains. I've done 2 clear blue tests today, both negative although the first one turned into a front posting after about an hour but the instructions say to disregard any change in result after 10 mins.
I have sore boobs, unbelievable tiredness, feel queasy and metallic taste in my mouth, all could be down to being hormonal and due on I suppose.
No point to this other than to ask what people think? Any pearls of wisdom?

Hello all,

I'm new here, so thought I'd share my story. My period was due around 7th July, and no sign of it yet. I've done lot's of test, all returned negative. I was diagnosed with PCOS in my 20s (I'm now 37) but had a lovely daughter two years ago and my periods have been regualr ever since. My husband and I started trying for another baby at the end of June, last had unprotected sex on the 29th.

Saw my GP today and did another test - negative - so she told me to treat it as a missed period and not pregnancy....I'm so disappointed though as I would really love another baby. No signs of being pregnant either, it's just strange that my period has not come this month after having unprotected sex for nthe first time in nearly two years.

Any comments greatfully recieved x

Hi , me and my husband have been trying for the past
Couple of months , and I'm over a week late for my period but have done a few tests since the first day I was late , and all negative . So is that it I'm not pg or should I continue with hope that it just hasn't shown up yet ?

Tanie123 · 07/05/2013 19:06

I am really enjoying reading these posts as I feel like I am driving myself insane recently! My husband and I have been trying to conceive for around 8 months now. I am always regular with my monthly's however I am currently 8 days late and experiencing some crmap like feeling in my stomach almost as though I am on my period! Have taken 5 pregnancy tests and they are all sadly negative but still have hope that there could be a small miracle that they are wrong!!!! Can this happen? Have everything crossed!!!!!!

Wattage88 · 14/03/2013 18:31

Period now 7days late and still testing (-)?? Any
Ideas what to do next? Or wait it out??
Thanks

Fingerscr0ssed · 12/03/2013 20:18

Hi ladies, I'm new here! I have 2 gorgeous girls from a Previous marriage and now ttc with my soon to be husband. I am 7 days late! All negative tests! This is so hard! No spotting, discharge etc. heavy breasts and v tired but planning a wedding for 3 weeks time can't be helping! Had Marina in until last nov. my cycle has been between 28-35 days but now on day 42. Could I be pregnant still? Neg tests from boots, asda, first response and tesco! I am now skint, lol xx

MrsBonkers · 12/03/2013 18:24

Came on yesterday. Was day 44. :(

See you next month!

isadorable · 12/03/2013 09:53

I'm on something like CD41 and BFN. I dont feel pregnant - been having a stressful house move, sick baby, dp with new job. And yes, this was our first month ttc number 2... Hoping it is just stress as it not like me at all. Can I hide out here?

Wattage88 · 11/03/2013 20:13

Hi new to this, I have the same problem. Ttc#2 been tracking period been regular. Currently 5days late. With neg tests?? Could I still be pregnant with low hormone levels? When shall I re test as so soul destroying with (-) with #1 didn't realise till 9weeks+ as has bleed throughout. My friend recently had baby, with few (-) test never got a (+) till 3weeks after missed period. Any help would be great. Thank you

Fairypants · 11/03/2013 07:15

Well af arrived for me yesterday also which I am actually glad about. Our original plan of ttc in April is better so just have to wait another month and hope af doesn't mess me around next time.
How're you doing mrs bonkers?
My suggestion for nudging af when it's close is dtd- it's a bit messy but I have definitely found that if I dtd any time around when af is due, it will start. This is usually very annoying and has led to a moratorium on dtd within a week of being due cos it is just too messy but it might be worth a try to get things going?

Snowylady · 10/03/2013 18:43

Ok, it could be a coincidence but after my run I've started spotting, so, I think AF has finally arrived. It's odd, it's kind of a disappointment - but am also relieved! May I recommend a run?! Smile

Snowylady · 10/03/2013 17:41

I'm the same here - no AF! I haven't tested today (did yesterday and BFN) so I'm trying to be good and holding off and thinking if I forget about it then AF will arrive! Not had any AF signs today....all odd. Did feel really sick in the night though and just feel generally cr*ppy! Sad I'm just about to go for a run and to see if I can 'de-stress' myself! I think I'm going to get some internet cheapies - that sounds so much better!!

MrsBonkers · 10/03/2013 11:46

I'm guessing I'm just VVVVLate due to stress or something. Its just weird that it would happen in the first month ttc. Its not like we are desperate having tried for a long time (and those of you in that situation have my sympathies.)

I looked on ebay the other day and you can get 30 test for about £2.50 including postage! So I think that's the way for me to go.

How are the rest of you doing? Waiting still or resolved?

Fairypants · 09/03/2013 23:56

Oh no, mrs bonkers I'm afraid I had assumed your situation was resolved!! You must be so stressed by now you really have my sympathy. X

Fairypants · 09/03/2013 23:54

Right, my cheap tests arrived today so tried again - bfn of course but still no af. I'm feeling really frustrated but have at least worked out that this delay should mean I can start ttc earlier than planned (assuming af turns up at some time) for various reasons.
So at least I can see some positive out of this bloody annoying situation!
How're you doing with the wait snowlady? I would recommend getting some cheap Internet tests if you are ttc as it is very 'freeing' to be able to test as much as I like knowing its less than 10p a go. :)

MrsBonkers · 09/03/2013 23:47

ANOTHER BFN today. No idea what's going on with my body!!

Snowylady · 09/03/2013 11:21

Haha, Fairypants! Agree! Cake instead.......?! If you like lager, I recommend the 0% alcohol Bavaria beer as an ok substitute!

Fairypants · 09/03/2013 11:07

Additionally, I can't even relieve the stress by getting drunk just in case!!!

Snowylady · 09/03/2013 10:53

I'm the same and it is doing my head in so know how you all feel. AF 4 days late....it's highly unlikely as I feel like AF about to start, and I stopped my pill in Jan so possibly still a bit messed up cycle wise, but before the pill I was never late and I feel "symptoms", but all tests are BFN. Don't want to do another due to the cost! ARRGGH!

Fairypants · 09/03/2013 09:54

Can I join in?
I'm 2/3 days late but could just be normal fluctuation. I came off the pill in December and since then, have had one 24 day cycle and one 23 day cycle so I'm not sure whether I could still be settling down after the pill or whether I could just be less regular than those 2 cycles suggest.
Tested on wed eve (cd 24) bfn and have bulk pack of tests in the post so trying to hold out til they arrive.
We're not ttc and but were slightly less than careful as planning to ttc in late April. Also, dd1 and dd2 both unplanned so we have form for this!!
I really just want to k ow either way so I can stop going to the loo every 5 minutes to check my knickers!!!

MrsBonkers · 06/03/2013 22:06

lol - I'm tempted by poundland tests too.
I was shocked by the 2 wks after due thing too. Never heard that before. Maybe he was trying to give me hope as I'd just told him we are going to try for a second.
This is our first month of trying, so I know I have no right to be disappointed if not pregnant.
Day 39 here.....
Argh - I hope it goes whichever way you want it to.
lilian - Fingers crossed for you too.

arghhelpme · 06/03/2013 19:16

Could it be implatation bleeding? Fingers crossed for you.

I'm not sure what i want the outcome to be for myself. I have not been with dp for that long. Think it is way too soon to be starting a family with him Confused

lilian1977 · 06/03/2013 13:57

Suspicious brown staining on pantyliner, looks like CD1 on it's way. Ah well. Next time!
