Because dh seems to. As does the pharmacist I spoke to today.

I'm just over a week over due for af but all of the at least nine tests have come back negative.

What's more likely: dodgy tests or another reason for no af?

period has always been regular as clockwork, even when it came back during bf - straight back into old cycle.

dh thinks it's more likely because I spent a week not bf then started again but it's only a feed a day and not even every day. Would that make the difference?

I think it's more likely you are irregular due to bf than so many false negatives.

Shame I was going for a live poas thread Wink

CakesAreNotTheAnswer · 16/09/2013 22:09

sorry. That ship has sailed. I've peed on so many damn sticks this week

Well I didn't get a bfp till I was 6w with DS so who knows!!

Why would the pharmacist think you're pregnant when you've done nine tests and they're all negative? Confused

CakesAreNotTheAnswer · 16/09/2013 22:20

Oh sorry Blush.

My cycle is very odd at the moment ( bf 9 month old ds)it was more than a week late last month.

When did your periods restart after birth?

cashmiriana · 16/09/2013 22:37

With DD2 I didn't get a BFP until day 44 of a 27 day cycle. From day 28 to day 35 I had 5 negative tests.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 16/09/2013 22:38

It ain't over till its over. Till you see blood then any day now could be your BFP.

softlysoftly · 16/09/2013 22:50

Oh bloody hell now I want a baby

Softly, you've gotta love a BFP! Grin

RawCoconutMacaroon · 16/09/2013 22:55

Do you FEEL pregnant? At only a week past due date of af, levels might not be high enough to get a positive test if you ovulated a little late in the cycle or you tested with weak urine...

... How negative were the tests? If a faint coloured line (not gray) developed a bit after the "time limit" of the test, then it may be worth testing again in a few days.

But you are Bf so you're cycle may just be irregular because of that.

Property its like the words bypass the logical "fuuuck nooo think of the mess, the money;, the sleep deprivation" reaction and go directly to the wombs "aw an ickle squidgy baby" trigger Angry

I've had number four and I think I am finally cured! Grin four is a decent number however you look at it. I could not have ignored the whirring broodiness before this point though.

softlysoftly · 16/09/2013 23:35

Great 2 more to go then, I'm already sliding rapidly towards 3, hmmmm May might be nice. .....

OP have you weed on a clear blue? After sneering at the necessity of such a thing I found that actually the clever buggers have this Black and White "pregnant not pregnant" thing sussed.

CakesAreNotTheAnswer · 17/09/2013 07:28

not even a smidgen of an evap line I'm afraid.

periods stayed when ds was 13mo so 7 months ago now abd have been regular as before until now.

I think, from experience, a feeling of pregnancy on stopping or cutting down breastfeeding is pretty normal. I'm going through it now and not pregnant but did stop brestfeeding 2.5 weeks ago.

Bloody hormones.

RawCoconutMacaroon · 17/09/2013 07:36

Propertynightmare, lol, I have 4 as well, I think 4 is the "cure" Wink!

softlysoftly · 17/09/2013 16:24

Actually "cakes" that is a point, I had to have a chest xray when just stopping bf and made them let me do a pg test before as I couldn't shake the feeling I was Pg.
