Late Period but negative pregnancy test?

[Jaxxy31]

Hello, I'm new here! So not sure if this has been spoken about before?

I have a son who is nearly 2, i was on the pill (microgynon 30) for 11 years, came off it and fell pregnant same month. I didn't do a test until I was 6 weeks as I just assumed I hadn't come on due to my body getting used to no pill. After he was born i went back on the same pill.

We have now decided to try again for number 2. I came off my pill July this year and came on as usual, then came on 29 days later, then 30 days later. It has now been 32 days since my last period and I've done 2 pregnancy tests but both negative?

I have this feeling I'm pregnant, but not sure if it's my body tricking me if you know what i mean because i really want to be!! My nipples are bumpy (partner says they look the same as when i was pregnant before), i keep feeling nauseous but not enough to make me think I'm going to be sick ( i didn't have this last time), and i've been having cramps for around 2+ weeks which i assumed was period on its way (had this at about 8 weeks before). I've been feeling hungry all the time, I'm bloated and had wind! Wow, attractive!

Has anyone else had this? I think I'll wait a few more days to do another test but it's so nerve-racking, i just want an answer!! I don't like this waiting game! I know i am too impatient!!

Hi jaxxy sorry I don't have the answers but I can sympathise. I am currently 11 days late now but I have not tested since Saturday after 5 negative tests. I plan to test again tomorrow. I had a miscarriage 4 months ago and although my cycles have been regular since then it is probably my body playing tricks on me. I don't have many symptoms apart from being bloated.

I'd leave it a couple of days and test again, some people take a bit longer to test positive and I've read that some people don't test positive for a few weeks ( that's what I'm hoping for anyway!)

It's so frustrating isn't it!! I didn't have any of this with my first as I didn't think it would happen for a year and just assumed my body was getting used to not having the pill. My partner nagged me at 6 weeks to test and got a positive straight away. This time I thought it would happen quicker so have been counting down the days!! Probably where we go wrong.

Oh I'm sorry about your MC. That's hard. wow, 11 days late? That's a long time isn't it, and I bet all you can think about all day is how overdue you are? I have been googling, and quite a lot say it could take 2 weeks after being late!! Thats so long to wait, lol! I got some more tests yesterday, so I'm going to test again tomorow morning. I wanted to do another one this morning as i bought a different make, but Its really disappointing seeing a BFN though isn't it, and then a waste of a test!

I've been quite grumpy lately, and woke in a real strop with my partner today. I hated him in my first pregnancy, not sure why, it was just my hormones! He couldn't do anything right bless him!! Haha! So then it makes me think that's another symptom today, but then is that all in my head!? Argh it's hard!! lol x

Just to add that I'm totally in the same boat. DS1 and DS2 both conceived pretty quickly - 1st or 2nd month of trying. I also lost a baby at 36 weeks inbetween them who was conceived on about the 2nd month of trying. We're now TTC again and I came off microgynon in June. Since then I've had a 28 day period, 27 days, 26 days, 21 days and now nothing. I'm about 3 weeks overdue and have done 4 pregnancy tests - all bfn.

I went to see my gynaecologist on Tuesday and he's prescribed me progesterone to take (Duphaston - apparently no longer sold in the UK - I live in Belgium). Apparently this should kick start my cycles again. I'm on my 3rd day of taking it though and still don't feel any closer to AF.

FWIW, I also have hashimotos (hypothyroidism), diagnosed after my stillbirth in 2012. But, I've had all my levels checked out and there's no problems there at the moment that could be causing my periods to disappear. I'm only 34 but am worrying now that we left it to late :-(

Try not to worry yet - I know it's easier said than done though!

I'm in a similar boat as I'm a week late and have loads of symptoms but no bfp yet. Had a faint line yesterday but not enough to convince me'

I asked my gp who reassured me that loads of women don't test positive until they're a couple of weeks late - or even longer than that. It's so frustrating waiting (and spending a small fortune on frer!)

I did another test this morning, BFN again and not even a faint line! It was just a Tesco HPT so I might try one of those Early response ones, are they better?
Got bad back pains today... had that with my first, but could just be me making that a symptom!! But hey, still no AF, so i guess still a chance!!

amyboo hopefully this progesterone will bring on your AF and you can start again with your cycle. It's so frustrating not knowing what is going on in your body and being able to control it. FX for a BFP soon! And I don't think 34 has left it too late at all, a lot of people are just starting out at that age. x
Gillian1980, i think a faint line is good, i hope you get that clear BFP in the next few days! FX x

Well the progesterone worked. AF arrived on Friday so I'm relieved a bit. Have bought some ovulation sticks so hopefully I can see if I actually ovulate this month or not. No nasty side effects from the progesterone either which is nice...

Wish I had an answer jaxxy my af was due on Tuesday and still isn't here. I have never been even a day late.
I'm done 2 tests one on Thursday and one on Saturday and they are both bfn. When I was pregnant with my dc I got a bfp on the day my af was due so I am thinking that means I'm probably not pregnant this time but where on earth is my af?

Hi!
I'm pretty much the same, was on mycrogynon for 10 yrs and came off it in aug. Had a 28 then a 29 day cycle. I'm now on day 32. Tested on thurs when I was due but bfn. Bought another test this morning but not sure when to do it. Tomorrow or tues maybe? I've been doing daft symptom spotting: vivid dreams(I read that on mn), cramping when I was so many days after ovulation, gas (sorry tmi!). Not had the rubbish feelings I usually get before af either. Its so frustrating

I'm kind of in a similar position but I've been spotting for 6 days & no proper AF. Started spotting at 9dpo so was hoping it was implantation but 2 BFN's say other wise. I thought I would have had proper AF on Thurs or Friday. I don't usually have spotting for 6 days but I've no pregnancy symptoms other than sore boobs which is also a symptom that AF is on her way.

It's very annoying.

Oh I so need this thread right now!! Have been TTC no#2 for 13 months and I'm currently 9/10 days late with AF. Last tested on friday and obv BFN. Have been wracking my brains about my other pregnancies and I know I tested negative with DS1 before I got my BFP but as I wasn't really counting I have no idea how 'late' I was, and with my MC I didn't test until 6 weeks and got a BFP. Started feeling a bit queasy today but could be imagining it apart from that no sore boobs or anything. I need to hear some positive stories about how people didn't get their BFP's till weeks after AF was due.........

Hi bobsy :)

Well AF has arrived this morning for me spotting starting at 9dpo is just cruel! And to go on for 6 days what's that all about?! Well at least I'm in to a new cycle now.

Hi loves it's strange you've still no AF. Have you any other symptoms? Are you planning to test again?

Well I'm feeling pretty nauseous today but that could be anything really! Yes I will test again had told myself not till friday but maybe tonight, a third BFN might help me get the message !!

Sorry about AF at least now you can focus on the next cycle (small reward I know)

Nausea is a good sign. I hope you have better look than me. Keep us posted.

Hi, i'm new to all this too and wondered if you had a update Jaxxy31? I'm 3 days late and one negative test I know it's a case of waiting but its killing me! I feel really nauseous and I'm hungry all the time! But I'm worried I'm making something of nothing.
It's really reassuring to know that I'm not alone reading everyone's stories

I feel like I have joined a few of these threads as I am now 5 days late (based on longest cycle since stopping bc). I have had loads of symptoms and still no AF so hoping it is just waiting 2 weeks after AF due date. I may go crazy before then! I have a poas addiction. Fertility friend app suggests testing with my cycle tomorrow so I am praying it is right and it will suddenly say BFP.
Any updates from everyone else?

Hey,

I'm currently trying for #1 (16months of trying). I have PCOS and have had irregular periods. I started on Metformin to help with my weight in August and have had a monthly period since then.

I am currently now late but still only getting negative tests and showing no signs that my period is around the corner. I am on cycle day 36 and still seem to have CM every now and then out of the blue (I can't explain that)..

I just got prescribed Clomid, but now that I have that it seems like my period never arrives.. I feel like I'm going crazy. No BFP, no period...no symptoms..!

Hi pp1983, sorry I didn't see any further comments on my thread until now.
My AF finally arrived at day 38! Since then my periods went back to being about 30 days and I went and saw a doctor as i was worried and apparently having a cycle between 25 and 45 days counts as regular! Not very handy when you're TTC!

Any way, finally some good news, 2 weeks ago my AF was a week late again. I had 4 days of brown spotting, like the end of your AF (sorry for TMI) and had a funny feeling i could be pregnant. I did 2 tests and had 2 faint lines, so i still wasn't convinced. So the next day i bought a clear blue test and got my BFP that i was waiting for! So now 7 weeks +1.

Hope you've all been lucky too. :) x

Congratulations Jaxxy31! That's great news and v encouraging :-)

I'm tearing my hair out as two weeks late but long cycles so this has taken me to CD46! II've done 3 tests over last two weeks and all BFN but haven't tested for 6 days now as the disappointment sucks. Only been trying for 3 months and came off the pill in Jan after 14 years . Had regular cycles since until now. I've got period pains, bloating and tired plus generally more emotional than usual! I'd love to get a BFP but would just be glad to get my AF at this point.
Anyone else been this late since coming off the pill? I'm 30 by the way. Thanks!

I'm also late but getting bfn when I tested. 5 days late which is unusual for me, only thing I really feel is exhausted and sickly but that's only been in the last day. Not sure what's going on!
