CD34 now, usually a 32-33 day cycle, I have been so good this month - no symptom spotting, no early testing....now I am officially late (latest I have ever started is afternoon of CD33) - so I tested last night and this morning with a standard First Response test (not the Early Result ones) each time, and both unarguably BFNs Sad .....what is going on? Everytime I go to the loo and there is no blood the little ball of excitement that is growing inside me gets bigger, but I just know that I am not pregnant and AF will turn up eventually (no symptoms at all).......anyway, just a rant really - feel free to ignore!

I think I might give them a ring on mon regardless of af arriving or not.

Hi can I join?! Came off the pill in October. Took 8 weeks to have a period after that, it was weird and lasted like 11 days then 29 days after the start of that I got my first proper period, all the cramps, back ache, spots, the lot. It's now 37 days later with 3 bfns and no sign of AF or any AF symptoms. I was pretty sure I was going to be pregnant because I had some tiny little spots of blood last Saturday which I thought was implantation bleeding, plus I've been weeing loads and having ridiculous amounts of milky cm (tmi). I also had all the same ovulation symptoms that I had last month.

Looked into getting a doctors appointment online this morning and it said nothing until 13th march!!! Spoke to nhs on the 111 number and the nurse who rung me back was absolutely lovely, but said basically my body could still be messed up after the pill and it's unlikely the doctor would see me for a bit yet.

Not sure if there is still a chance I might be pregnant or if I'm just still all over the place with my cycles. But basically I am beyond pissed right off and DH won't let me have any wine 'just in case' AngryAngryAngry

Just needed to get all that off my chest. Hope we all get our answers soon.

Hibou7688 · 22/02/2014 18:07

Oh no Helen. That sounds rubbish!! Have some virtual Wine not quite the same I know!!

Helen87 · 22/02/2014 18:13

It really is! Thanks, virtual Wine has to be better than no Wine at all!!!!

gloopygloop · 22/02/2014 18:50

Good to know there's a few of us in the same boat! I am going to try not to test in the morning if Af hasn't arrived. I am also on virtual wine just in case!

Hibou7688 · 22/02/2014 19:00

Virtual wine but lots of actual real Cake is ok! woo!

ThingsThatGoHumpInTheNight · 22/02/2014 21:08

Ooh, helen sounds horrid. I am feeling exhausted today, but that may be because dh has hurt his back and has been moaning all day Sad Still no sign of af, but I have quite a few spots coming up in my face, just not in the usual period places- forehead rather than chin. I am also bloody grumpy, but most likely a combo of worrying about af and putting up with dh Sad

Slight spotting now for 1 day, only there when you wipe (sorry if tmi) normal period would usually be in full flow now. Holding on to hope of possible late ovulation, so late conception so this could be late implantation??? Am I crazy to think it could possibly be this??? Or do I need to just give up hope and admit it's over for this month!!! Just tested also and BFN :-(

NannyGR · 23/02/2014 07:25

Can I add, had mild cramps yesterday (not at all like period pains) and have funny taste in my mouth for a few days!! I wonder if I'm just going crazy as it's been soo long ttc now x

babytinks89 · 23/02/2014 07:36

Anything today girls?

Still bfn for me! I was thinking to myself iv been averaging my cycles around 28 days but since mc iv had a 37 day and a 34 day cycle! And now sitting on cd36!! I thought if i average out i maybe ovulated later? So i looked back on when we dtd that week..... And should have pretty much had a bfp yesterday or today, but still bfn and i'm testing with early responses!! ??

Hibou7688 · 23/02/2014 07:55

Wasn't gonna test... But obviously did! Bfn!

Helen87 · 23/02/2014 08:02

"Some women show up accurately on a test the day they miss a period, while others may not show up positive until 3-4 weeks after a missed period. We encourage women to test after a missed period; if the result is negative they should wait a week and test again if a normal period has not started."

Just read the above on an American pregnancy website. Could give us some hope?!

Hibou7688 · 23/02/2014 08:33

Clinging on to that little bit of hope! When really I know AF is gonna arrive any day! I've had no symptoms of it arriving though. :-/

Vicky5910 · 23/02/2014 08:43

Can I join in, I thought we were out this month as we Dtd a bit late, figured I'd already ovulated, but I have 26/27 day cycles and this is cd 30... Bfn this morning. If i ov'd late I suppose a bfp is going to be late too?! But I think my body is just playing silly buggers :(

ThingsThatGoHumpInTheNight · 23/02/2014 09:05

I just tested again- BFN of course, cd37 today....beyond fed up. Had terrible cramps and felt sick last night but otherwise non symptoms of AF/BFP at all. Think I am going to accept the BFNs as accurate and jist try to carry on as normal now, it's getting too depressing!

toots123 · 23/02/2014 09:15

Hi girls. I'm in the same boat as you all! Previous cycles 37 & 35 days. Today is cd 44!!! Poas this morning and bfn! [Sad]

Going to wait until Friday and test again. How frustrating is this!!

buddhabee · 23/02/2014 09:16

Well im well and truly out af came with back with vengeance this morning - even a little concerned at how much :(

Hibou7688 · 23/02/2014 09:23

Toots I am same boat as you, in that ny cycles are getting progressively longer! I've not pinpointed when/ifI ovulate though. I got flashing smileys on clearblue at cd9 for a whole week and ran out before I got a peak!! Having such a long cycle I thought I'd ov late but obviously not!!

mylittlesunshine · 23/02/2014 09:31

I'm sorry buddhabee, hope you are okay.

I'm now 9 days late and got another bfn this morning. Feel so sad as I was convinced I was pregnant, I guess I'm back to waiting on AF arriving.

gloopygloop · 23/02/2014 10:59

I tested again this morning. Still negative. It's the not knowing that is annoying me!

So sorry buddhabee I also hope you are ok.

Ah well for the rest of us, the wait continues

babytinks89 · 23/02/2014 11:14

44 days toots? Id be going insane i thought 36 was bad!!
My first cycle after af was 37 then 34 so i'm going to wait to 40 and see whats happening!! I got a positive opk on cd14..... so bfp af surely shoulda been here by now :(
Don't get me wrong i havent been proper stressing so for a lot of us could be the stress keep it away... I don't know... If no af or a bfp by cd40-42 il try get a docs appointment for a check up!

CursiveLetters · 23/02/2014 11:22

I'm in limbo too! Currently on day 37, this would be my longest cycle ever. Have hope that I am preg!

After my MC my cycles kept getting longer every month so I starting doing fertility acupuncture. After doing it for one month my cycles were back on track and my period was much stronger (had been barely a blip before). Just something those who are struggling w/ long cycles might want to look into.

toots123 · 23/02/2014 11:27

I know, such a long cycle. Dont know how im still feeling fine about it all. Dh is so good at telling me to keep calm haha.
hibou im the same. Sure I know when I ovulated and it was three weeks ago. Holding onto the false hope that I just have a long lp and a shy bfp. Haha oh well...

MrsHJ · 23/02/2014 13:10

Hi all! Hope you don't mind me joining in?!

I'm day 29 today and technically 2 days late. No period symptoms at all. Couldn't resist so did a cheap test this morn (was only one I had left!) and was neg ConfusedConfusedConfused been trying 6 months now, feeling really fed up today.

Vicky5910 · 23/02/2014 14:18

Hi mrshj hope there's something in the air and we all just have delayed bfps! Is there a chance you ovulated late? X
