Ok Stupid question alert!! AF now overdue ... convinced I am not pregnant as no implantation bleeding (there was for my DD) and have been feeling bloated/crampy for the past few days before it was due. I am regular as clockwork normally ... has anyone had all the symptoms of AF only to discover they are pregnant?? .. I know the simpilest thing would be to take a test but frankly dont want to see a BFN and fed up of the cost!! thanks

Nooo!! Im at docs tomorrow, just dont feel right at all, not ill but just not right :/ Still had no bleeding and today had LOTS of DC, and cramps again.
Feel really hungrey too. I dont know whether its just my hormones playing up after coming off the pill or not! All i know is i want to know if im pregnant or not!! xx Have you tested again yet?

lalabaloo · 20/06/2011 20:31

Aww hope you get some answers soon. I tested on Friday morning but it was BFN, now wondering if my cycle was longer than usual so going to leave it at least a week but then will ring Doctor. I have a stinking cold and took some lemsip max but then was told by a friend (who knows i'm TTC) not to because you shouldn't take it if pregnant :s I don't know which is right but the leaflet says ask your pharmacist first if pregnant, so i'm too scared to have it! Feel awful! I worry so much, I wonder how I will ever get through a pregnancy without worrying myself to insanity x

shellmc · 20/06/2011 20:35

Ohhh big hgs to you (((((((hugs))))))).
Hope your feeling better real soon, im not too sure about taking lemsip when pregnant, it contains paracetamol and your fine to take paracetamol when pregnant, but not sure if theres anything else in there that would cause any harm Sorry.
It awful not knowing isnt it?? I driving myself up the wall wondering what if??
Im just worried Gp will think im mad tomorrow when i start saying how i feel ect. xx

This happened with both my pregnancies: I was convinced that I wasn't pg because I had the usual AF cramping and symptoms, but none of the blood.
Hope you get the result you're after!

shellmc · 20/06/2011 20:39

Thankyou belleEnd How long did it take for you to get a positive result??

BelleEnd · 20/06/2011 20:48

I think I took a test about ten days- two weeks after AF was due.

shellmc · 20/06/2011 20:51

Okay thankyou :) I hope its gonna end in BFP for me and lalabaloo!! :) x

lalabaloo · 20/06/2011 21:19

Me too! Fingers crossed! Think i'm just going to stick to paracetamol now, just in case x

shellmc · 20/06/2011 22:15

Yeh you do right!! Get well soon. x

lalabaloo · 22/06/2011 22:13

Hi, feeling much better today! Still no AF, should test again soon but I don't want another BFN as at the minute I still feel like there is hope until AF arrives. Any news with you? x

shellmc · 22/06/2011 22:35

Hello, Still no AF!!
Few cramps still and 2 days ago had some White creamy discharge sorry tmi!!
Giving it to weekend again and gonna test again!

Good news that your AF hasnt arrived how late are you now?? x

lalabaloo · 22/06/2011 22:51

That still seems fairly promising then! How long is it now since your last AF? I'm 2 weeks late tomorrow, the only other time I have been this late is when I didn't have a period for 7 months after coming off the combined pill but i've had a regular cycle since having implanon removed in December, up until now! x

shellmc · 23/06/2011 18:37

Gosh 2 weeks!!! Thats a sure sign isnt it?? Sounds promising to you lalabaloo :) How you feeling in your self?
Im not sure i thought i was due around 11th June, but then had lots of slimey stringey clear discharge on the 12th :/ and a pain to the left in my pelvis which i think was ovulation??
I just presumed that since my last bleed on the 13th May i would have ovulated 14 days later, but since realised not everyone does and i am pretty sure i ovulated on the 12th June!!
Since then iv had same mild cramps but then 3 days ago this creamy white discharge as i said above 8dpo and 9dpo.
If i did ovulate then, we had sexual intercourse few days before and on that day also, providing the striney discharge is the day you ovulate ????
I think i should get a period on the 26th - 14dpo. Soo sunday!!
Will wait and see what happens FX :)

lalabaloo · 26/06/2011 18:07

Ooh just saw your post, any news? I did a test on Friday but still negative, feel fine but i'm so fed up of not knowing! It sounds like you did ovulate on the 12th so fingers crossed you get a BFP soon! x

shellmc · 26/06/2011 20:24

Hiyah again ohhh god the wait!!!!
I done another yesterday BFN again, i think i should have had AF today but nothing, apart from mild cramps again. No more tests left so maybe do one tomorrow or tuesday again.
You will be fed up, i know exactly how you feel, you had any spotting or still having any symptoms?? xx

lalabaloo · 27/06/2011 13:57

Hope you get a BFP soon! :) I haven't had anything at all, my cramping stopped a few days after it started and no other symptoms x

lalabaloo · 02/07/2011 20:39

Any news shell? I think AF arrived for me today x

shellmc · 04/07/2011 19:47

Hello, Iv been back and forwards to doctors, horrid pains ect and had blood tests taken, some of my results have came back raised, one being my LH levels. I have been referred to an endocrinologist, just got my appointment today. High LH and absent periods apparantly is a sign of PCOS, although i had a scan a few months ago and no cysts showed up and everything looked fine.
After a long long wait though AF arrived last night for me and im in agony with pains and just feel crap!! :( Sorry to hear AF made an appearance for you and Good Luck for next month xx

lalabaloo · 04/07/2011 20:25

Awww good luck with the referral and I hope they sort something out for you! Is it just me or do you feel even crapper after having waited so long for AF? Will you be trying next month or having a break? If you are trying, good luck! x

Hi girls! I know this is a late thread but thought I may aswel try. Me and my partner have been ttc for a year had all fertility checks done I had a hsg test done the 8th which resulted in a blocked tube (only have 1 tube due to previous ectopic) he unblocked it and said try the next day as I'm ovulating so this cycle I'm like a mad woman. I due on today I have been having period like pains on off for 4 days prior which I dont normally get (somtimes) or the day before then I get my period. But nothing has showed up boobs are are very sore and keep getting a tickling sensation low down! Done a test today NEGATIVE!! anyone experienced period like pains and a negative on the af due date then found out they was pregnant ? Thanks girls

Hello ladies first time posting!! I could really use some advice! LMP August 16th I am currently 33 to 35 days late. I had a faint positive about 2.5 to 3 weeks ago. Every one since then it has been bfn. Over the past month I have had headaches, back pain, leg and some hip pain, super tired( not sure if its due to already having 2 DS or more) nausea and then the past three days I started mild cramping only when I lay down until today and they have been on and off. I have an appointment in the morning at a women's center. I'm anxious and scared at the same time. This month marks a year since MMC with blighted ovum at 6 weeks. What do you ladies think?? Did I have a chemical pregnancy? Do you think I'm still pregnant and my HcG is too high for the tests to read?? Thanks in advance! Will update after appointment tomorrow!!

lofti · 06/11/2021 18:28

I'm in a similar boat - what's was the result please x ?
