That’s true! Thank you for being so positive!

I hope you get what you need soon!! 💕

glasses2020 · 09/06/2020 15:27

Oh no, I know it is disappointing, but it's positive because now you are day 1 of your new cycle!!

You can try again, yes you should now ovulate in approximately 14 Fay's, but maybe be a little longer. I still have no AF, and I am definitely not pregnant, did another test today BFN. I just want AF now 😭😭💕💕

JellyKulie · 09/06/2020 14:49

Thanks @Kitttycatt 💛

You’re right, at least I know. So does this mean that I will potentially ovulate approx 14 days from now do you know? I am all out of sync

Keep me updated with your progress X

Kitttycatt · 09/06/2020 10:24

Hi @JellyKulie sorry to hear that at least you have an answer now, limbo is the worst. I think my period will start soon, I had a low temp today at last, another negative test last night so I think I'm out. Must have ovulated a lot later than the clear blue tests said so not going to trust them anymore!

JellyKulie · 09/06/2020 09:28

I came on my period today guys 💔

JellyKulie · 08/06/2020 17:00

Hey, so I spoke to my doctor this afternoon who has advised that I should wait to see if my period comes and if nothing happens in the next two weeks than to give them a call back... She reckons that my spotting could be the start of it and that’s why there’s no rush to get me in for blood tests for HGC.

She also said it wouldn’t be abnormal to kiss a period altogether as this could be due to the lining of my uterus not being thick enough, or something.

I started to feel slight cramping immediately after this consultation so I’m feeling upset and nervous although again, have read that, along with spotting is pretty normal in early pregnancy if that’s what this is.

Confused!

@kitttycatt thank you!! I know there’s a lot going on right now with the world and I didn’t expect to be seen right away but I just feel disappointed. Now I’ve spent all day second guessing myself and I phoned my sister who’s had two boys, she told me she only had a positive after 18 days? So I’m just going to have to stay put and see if next week if AF comes or not and then call again:/

I’m glad I came across this forum because sharing this to everyone and seeing everyone else’s stories has made me feel less alone in this crappy situation. I hope everyone gets the results they want in the next few days:)

Kitttycatt · 08/06/2020 16:09

The nurse sounds very unhelpful, after that length of time you should be given a blood test or at least a mention of what could be causing it!

megs1997 · 08/06/2020 14:46

I was really surprised too, she was very blunt and her words were “pregnancy tests are very sensitive so you would’ve know by now, so it sounds like you’re not pregnant, call back in a week if you still haven’t got your period.” Honestly I was shocked since she never asked if I had symptoms. She only asked if I’ve lost weight or have been ill. I really don’t want to get my hopes up so I’ve been trying not to think about it but now I’m just worried there’s something wrong with me

JellyKulie · 08/06/2020 14:39

@megs1997 I don’t understand how the nurse can rule out pregnancy? I myself am not getting my hopes up but that’s because I want to be pleasantly surprised but only you know you’re own body and I find it strange that the nurse has not been more cautious and provided more helpful advice?!

megs1997 · 08/06/2020 13:49

I’m in the same boat, 11 days late and I’ve done two pregnancy tests both were BFN. I phoned to talk to a local nurse today so I could have a blood test in the next day or so and over the phone she basically said I wasn’t pregnant even know she didn’t ask if I’ve had any symptoms. I’ve been feeling sick mainly in the car, breasts are bigger, haven’t been able to do a no.2 and I’ve been crying at everything.

I’m honestly just so confused if I’m not pregnant than what is wrong with me? It’s just such a shit feeling and I haven’t been able to stop crying about it

Kitttycatt · 08/06/2020 12:18

Sorry about your BFN @glasses2020. Good luck with the doctors @JellyKulie let us know how you get on

JellyKulie · 08/06/2020 11:15

@glasses2020 sorry to hear that. I always feel down after BFN :( x

JellyKulie · 08/06/2020 11:14

I’m not temping. If I’m not successful this cycle then I’ll give it a go next. Booked in for a consultation with my Dr this afternoon to discuss being 14 day’s late with a little spotting and numerous BFN’s. I think the next step is blood tests but I’ll let you know how I get on.

glasses2020 · 08/06/2020 10:50

Thank you.

I've just done a test... And BFN, feeling pretty low now. I just want my cycle to start so we can try again. X

Kitttycatt · 08/06/2020 10:47

@glasses2020 it is mentioned in the Taking Charge of Your Fertilely book. I don't think you would know you def had one without an ultrasound, but it could be another possibility.

glasses2020 · 08/06/2020 10:01

@Kitttycatt wow that's interesting, thanks. Is there any way to find out if it is that, or do you just wait it out? X

Kitttycatt · 08/06/2020 09:23

Hi @glasses2020 I'm the same, ewcm for two days, same time as peak ovulation test, my temps did take a few days to rise but ovulation was confirmed at cycle day 14 and temps have been high since. Cycle day number one is always the day when your period starts so we have to wait unfortunately. I've read this could be down to a corpus luteum cyst which isn't anything to worry about but messes your cycle up as it usually dies before end of cycle and if it doesn't it continues to pump out progesterone.

glasses2020 · 08/06/2020 08:04

Guys I'm the same!!

I was convinced I ovulated, egg white CM high OPK and now nothing.

I am 15 DPO and 4 days late, I have been testing with a range of different tests since 10 DPO.

It's so frustrating!

I don't feel pregnant at all, but also don't feel like AF is coming either.

What I want to know is, when do I start my new cycle? And when can I start tracking ovulation again if there has been no AF?

Thank you xxx

Kitttycatt · 08/06/2020 07:50

Are either of you temping? My temps are still up after 18 days - that's meant to be a sign you are pregnant 🙈 I will test again tomorrow morning when I'm 5 days late. Hope one of us gets an outcome soon!

goldenrose88 · 08/06/2020 06:13

Just an update. 5 days late still no AF although after weeing earlier today there's a slight blood after wiping down there but still no flow coming out. Maybe AF is on her way 😒 im still having mild cramps that come and go and feeling a bit hot and tired. Dont really know what's going on with my body. Il just continue to monitor hehe

JellyKulie · 07/06/2020 20:30

Fingers crossed 🤞 for us all! Keep the thread updated too with your developments ☺️

goldenrose88 · 07/06/2020 20:27

@Jellykulie true. Super frustrating, i really hope so you followed your moms foot step hehe. Wish for a bfp for us! Finger crossed

Kitttycatt · 07/06/2020 20:08

Hi, yes this is my first and I've been trying since October. I'm just going to test every two days this week and see. I don't feel like AF is coming, I have tender nipples and a mild stabbing pain on left side that comes and goes and I feel less energetic than normal. Nice to know I'm not the only one!
