New to posting - AF 2 weeks late and negative HPT

Hi ladies can anyone shed any advice on what's happening with my body and if going through or been through the same? Sorry if long winded.

My last period was 23 December, I've been using an app on my phone to track my periods as I'm terrible at remembering when I'm roughly due. They're always heavy and last 5-8 days and roughly 26-30 day cycles. My period should have been due around 20th Jan, normally I've eaten my body weight in chocolate and can't even stomach it! Had on and off aches across lower abdomen but didn't feel like AF pains and then 2 days of spotting which was very pink. This stopped and my partner and I did the deed again which felt more sensitive than normal and a day after had very slight brown spotting only when wiping. I get waves of tiredness, my tummy is still slightly swollen from when AF should have visited, still on and off dull aches in lower abdomen and it feels like twinges and stretching sensation where my c-section scar is (that scar was 4 years ago and never had problems with it). My belly and chest look like a road map of blue veins, waves of tiredness and I'm having to eat little and often because I'm so full so quickly. I've had a urine test at GP which came back negative and actually was sick that morning which is odd for me, have taken HPT and negative. Any ideas what could be going on? I'm not stressed, no change to diet apart from food adiversions and no extreme weight loss/gain or exercise.

Thanks xx

Sorry, been off for a while as I've been trying to settle my mind! Hasn't worked of course. I'm still waiting and if the bleed at Christmas was not a full AF then I'm on CD 86. if it was I'm on CD 62. Either way I really want to know what's going on. Blood tests have been done, going in the morning to discuss.

I did get told that they aren't "allowed" to do a blood test for pregnancy unless they are checking for ectopic. Seems strange to me. I haven't tested since my last GP appointment but unless they give me suitable information tomorrow I will be testing again on Thursday.

I'd love for one of us on this thread to come back with happy news!

Agree with Charley that is a little strange. Good luck tomorrow and hopefully they provide suitable information. Keep us posted :)

Lots of updates this evening and tomorrow by the looks of it! really hoping for some pregnancies. Even if we only get one I'll be pleased. I have my fingers crossed everyone gets good news at their appointments or at the very least make some progress, not knowing is the worst!

Just noticed we all have proper names in our screen names Grin it seems to be a theme

On a personal note, I am sick of working with just men. They're fine and all, but I can't talk about hormones and periods or even the normal stuff me and friends discuss. Plus they're all into sending each other weird videos. I was shown a charming video of a young lady playing the 20th century fox song with a flute, that was shoved up her bum Hmm. I miss the days of bitching about diets and nice male celebs.

Ahahaha Sarah that made me giggle! Sounds like where I used to work, mainly men and you got to see those lovely videos and hear their pleasant stories. You do miss the girls chat even though it's normally bitching about something. Although mention hormones to the guys and it's hilarious watching them run a mile!

Hey!

been to the docs, she has arranged for a blood test on Friday Smile

anyone have an idea how long the results should take? She said I could ring in for the results next week, would Monday be too early? Of course I will let you all know the results Grin

I was suprised how great she was about it, she asked if I wanted her to do a pee stick test or blood test and when I said blood test she asked me if I wanted anything else testing in the blood while I was having it done! Smile

I want your GP Charley! Mine wouldn't even do a pee test as "the home ones are as accurate as what she has". Good luck. Smile

KellyC88 · 24/02/2015 19:25

That's good Charley fingers crossed for you! Your GP sounds amazing and at least you'll finally have an answer. I would have thought 2-3 days, maybe check on Friday when you can call for the result.

Hoping we all get some answers and the bfps soon! Hang on in there ladies although it is soooooooo frustratig xxx

Well I'm afraid it's not good news for me ladies. FSH levels high enough for me to be in my 60s and fully menopausal!! GP has asked for another blood test in two weeks time to confirm but his thought is ovarian failure Confused . Hope the rest of you have better luck and someone gets good news! xxx

No updates from me, forgot how bloaty and emotional and generally crap I feel in the 2ww, but it's good to be here finally! Really happy to get to the end of this cycle, even a bfn is ok after this long! I'm looking forward to trying soyiso. Sorry about the negative HPTs hoping blood tests shed a bit more light on it all and that you get some lovely blood test bfps!

Oh Kelly it really is frustrating. I hope you finally get some answers tomorrow and that it makes you feel a bit better. Feeling hormonal is awful.

I'm in bed with a mega cold and I have my gas safe assessment tomorrow. 2 and a half full days of exams and high pressure assessments. Plus no normal AF signs, getting my hopes up and down like a seesaw.

I hope it is AF finally showing up. Better late than never right? Hoping you can get back to normal, but what a weird blip you had with your cycles.
