After years of heartbreaking infertility with no known cause and multiple rounds of failed IVF. My period is 6 days late, I have dull cramp but nothing like it normally is. AIBU to wish/hope/pray that amongst this chaos DH and I finally get our happy ending. I have one test left in the house, part of me wants to put myself out of my misery but I know if it's negative I'll completely fall apart and I can't afford that as have a huge week at work. AIBU to think it's finally my turn?

I am so sorry OP truly. Fertility can be incredibly cruel.

I don’t want to get your hopes up again but I was around 8-10 days late when I got my very faint negative. My AF was normally like clockwork & had the same light cramping for days but kept getting a negative test.

Isobored · 06/05/2020 09:31

I just feels beyond cruel.

Really sorry OP. Sometimes life is shit and so cruel. Take care of yourself and each other. xFlowers

Op sending hugs.

I had many years of struggles, same as you describe.

I would echo @Lolxx though.

I never respond well to tests, especially late in the day.

Dd appeared after we gave up hope, and I did not get a positive till first morning urine about day eight.

You say it was the last test in the house, was it current.

I'm so so sorry for you, happy to pm you if you want to rant at someone. Thanks

Take another test op

NameChange84 · 06/05/2020 14:05

OP, I don’t want to get your hopes up but I used to volunteer at a woman’s centre doing pregnancy tests.

It could be that it’s very early and your HGC levels are too low to pick up.

False positives are rare (in fact I’ve never come across one) but false negatives are really quite common.

My period was late this month by 4 days due to stress I think (I’ve not been near a man in 6 years lol). I know other women are experiencing similar mainly due to syncing or unsyncing with other women in the house/work colleagues and stress due to lockdown.

We don’t need these answers as it’s personal information but ask yourself, did you have ovulation symptoms this month? If so when? And did you have sex within a week of that time?

I knew I’d be late this month because I didn’t ovulate when I should have, if at all.

dontdisturbmenow · 06/05/2020 14:07

I'm so so sorry OP. Hope is such an overpowering feeling. Our bodies can be so vicious sometimes. Giving you a big virtual hug.

Eachpeachpearbum · 06/05/2020 14:09

It feels beyond cruel because it is. I'm hoping for a miracle for you if not this month than some month soon.

So sorry OP xx
