Yet another 'no AF but BFN' post.

Just want somewhere to chat about it really! AF 2 days late - not wildly unusual but the last few months have been very regular - and not having any of the pre-menstrual symptoms I usually have...but equally not having any 'pregnancy' symptoms. I tested FMU yesterday and today and both BFN. Anyone else in the same boat at the moment? Cake

I have no idea when or if I ovulated so we dtd every other day all month. This was my first month TTC after coming off the pill so fingers crossed for round 2.

Another BFN this morning, I'm fed up!

FriendlyGhost · 09/03/2016 09:52

Hello all, yet another one who is a few days late but testing negative. I've only had 3 AF since having my dd (15 months) but they have all been around the 31 days mark. I'm still bfing so I know that can disrupt cycles a bit and I don't know for sure if I'm ovulating yet but we dtd at the right time or thereabouts last month and now I'm 4 days late. I tested 2 days ago with a waitrose own test and yesterday with a clear blue. Both were bfn but I can't help hoping they're wrong. Is that possible this late? The waiting is so hard!

Patapouf · 09/03/2016 18:36

Based on my google research friendly it's possible to be very late and still testing BFN.
I'm now CD48 and still no AF and several BFNs

Patapouf · 10/03/2016 08:43

Another BFN this morning, I'm not testing again until this weekend (if AF doesn't arrive in the meantime). Had a bit of cramping last night so it may well be on its way.

Heyheyheygoodbye · 11/03/2016 10:10

Still nothing but BFNs and I'm 10 days overdue now AAAAAAAAARGH fucking shitting cocking bastarding cycles 😤😤😤😤

Hi, can I join in? I have to say that reading all your posts has made me feel I'm not so alone in all this. CD50 here, faint positive on Mother's Day (of all days!) but nothing but BFNs ever since. I've got hot sore boobs and have done since 25th Feb along with nausea and tiredness. Feel like I'm going mad. Fingers crossed for everyone here and congrats Little! Flowers

Patapouf · 11/03/2016 17:35

CD50 today for me too should, still no AF but I have had cramping the last couple of days.
I'm exhausted, emotional and have very sore boobs plus a little nausea but that could be PMS I suppose.
Will POAS for the fifth time in the morning, the not knowing is excruciating and I feel guilty every time I have my daily cigarette/glass of wine/excessive amounts of coffee but I still feel that the idea of being PG is absurd.

ShouldHaveListenedInBiology · 11/03/2016 18:21

Oh Patapouf you have my every sympathy. It's making me crazy and the boob pain and nausea is worse again today. Have bought some more FRER tests so will test again tomorrow. Another thing that's making me think I am is that I just do not fancy a glass of wine or a beer which is very unusual for me! Everything crossed for you.

Patapouf · 11/03/2016 18:37

Thank you should, do you know what measurement FRERs can detect? The first tests I used were clear blue digital but yesterday was a superdrug own brand which I think test at 20.
Surely my HCG levels would be in the hundreds by now if I was PG?

ShouldHaveListenedInBiology · 11/03/2016 19:25

I've just looked all over the packaging and instructions and it doesn't say; I think I read somewhere on here that it is 10?

ShouldHaveListenedInBiology · 12/03/2016 08:07

BFN from FRER this morning Sad I think I am going to have to accept that this is another chem and that the symptoms are just hanging around a while. That's the only thing that makes any sense.

PowerofThree · 12/03/2016 11:22

Hello all. I'm also in this position at the moment. Day 42 at the moment. I have had more cramping than usual this month and several times though AF about to arrive but it didn't. No sign of symptoms - tired but also have horrible cold so could be that! Regular cycle my whole life (28-32 days), can't remember having being later than that or missing AF. Not been on any contraception for 10years and no kids.

It seems a bit coincidental that first time of ttc would also be first ever time I am this late but multiple tests have been BFN without even the slightest hint of a line. I'm just getting frustrated now and am also in the camp of wanting to know one way or the other!

Patapouf · 12/03/2016 14:08

Oh, FRERs must be the most sensitive then?
Is it worth going to the GP should?

Another BFN for me this morning, I give up!

ShouldHaveListenedInBiology · 12/03/2016 16:34

I think if my period hasn't turned up by Monday I'm going to try and get in to see GP. Although I have resigned myself to the fact that it looks like it's not happening, I just can't work out how I still feel so sick and massive of boob Sad

Heyheyheygoodbye · 12/03/2016 16:35

Well, AF has just appeared. At least I know now and we can start again. Sad though Sad

ShouldHaveListenedInBiology · 12/03/2016 16:42

Oh Heyhey I'm so sorry. It is sad and you are allowed to feel sad. I struggle with this, especially after the suspected chem in Sept and now, with allowing myself to feel entitled to be upset. It's so emotional and you can't help but think 'what if?' and then when you find out it's not happening it's crushing. Be kind to yourself. Flowers

Heyheyheygoodbye · 13/03/2016 09:20

Thanks Should Flowers fingers crossed for you and everyone else on the thread!

Hi Everyone,

We have been TTC for 6 months with our first baby. I'm on cycle day 46! My cycles are bit irregular, but my longest ever was 34 days.
On cycle day 37-40 I had some brown spotting, but it was only when checked my cervix.
I had bad cramps and thought AF was coming, but nothing ever did. Iv had cramps on and off ever since.
Only symptoms iv had is not getting my normal sore boobs before AF and iv been very weepy and emotional. I have got some very creamy & stretchy CM- I'm not sure what that means. I did take a ovulation test and I had 2 lines- not a strong positive- but a second line, which I found weird!
Iv tested every other day and got all BFN!
Has anyone else had this? Should I wait for AF and hope she still might show? Should I just start a new cycle? Should I see a doctor? Will they take me seriously?
I feel a bit lost. Id love a BFP or even AF- so I can start a fresh month.

Thanks :-)

PotteringAlong · 14/03/2016 13:09

Me too! Ttc #3; cycles been between 27-30 days; currently on day 39 and nothing...

Adventuregame · 14/03/2016 13:12

Hi All, I'm confused too ! CD39 which isn't unusual apart from that I got a positive ovulation on Clearblue test on CD20 meaning the 2WW should have finished last Wednesday ? No AF but no BFP either. Have done several FRER tests but all bfn.
I had a really early BFP with my first pregnancy last year but sadly that ended with an mmc so we're only just trying again.
I have to continually test as I need to come off medication as soon as I get a bfp so finding it a bit stressful not knowing which way it's going to go.
Only thing I can think of is that the ovulation test was wrong but the previous month AF arrived 2 weeks exactly after ovulation so it was spot on !

MSHOG · 14/03/2016 13:33

Adventuregame have you had any spotting or anything? I don't know if I should just count that as a period?

Adventuregame · 14/03/2016 14:34

If you've had spotting it could be implantation bleeding ?

talulahbelle · 14/03/2016 15:21

Checking in.
CD 39 here. I've had cramps on and off (really bad since the Saturday before last) brown tinged CM and lots of nausea.
BFN on a IC this morning.
Normally my cycle is 27-29 days, but I only stopped BFing my DD just after my last period so I think I ovulated slightly later. God knows when though.

Annoyingly it's near impossible for me to get pregnant naturally due to tubal issues, so I'm pretty sure I just need to wait. I was supposed to be having blood tests for IVF tomorrow on CD 2. Not happening now.
