Confused and need to vent :(

Hey. This is new to me so just looking for some advice. I came off my pill in January and started normal periods about 4 weeks after. Very regular, to the day. I usually get sore breasts a few days before, start to bleed and then cramp. This lasts around 5 days and starts all over again. My last period started on 26th May as usual. Two weeks after i had a strange light brown 'goo' and spotted brown/light red for 3 days. I got sore breasts and cramps around the time AF was due but it didn't happen. I got my hopes up but all tests were negative. Docs agreed to blood test but then, 8 days late, AF showed up. Really unusual for me as I'm so regluar. I didn't go for the blood test as I thought there was no point. I'm now struggling and feeling really down. What might of caused the reeeally late/missed period? Any one else feel really down when your period does come? Thanks

Didn't want to read and run so offering virtual hugs. This TTC lark doesn't half make us crazy and incredibly aware of our bodies. As you were getting BFN, I would imagine you ovulated later than you thought, making your cycle longer. Brown goo sounds like your body messing with your head. As you were 8 days late but never got a BFP, I doubt it was a chemical pregnancy. I think it's just one of the joys of TTC. Try to relax (easier said than done I know!) And make a real note of any signs. That way next month, you'll know that it's normal for you.

Good luck and try and put this cycle behind you.

Thank you MrsPCR. Sometimes its just good to get it all out and know I'm normal! I will for sure start to make notes and record things going forward. Still figuring out what is normal for me I guess!

Thanks again x

Sorry to hear you're feeling down. Literally anything can mess with cycles ... i wonder was the spotting/late AF a one off? stress, work, anything. It's super shit when the witch shows up especially when you get your hopes up I know!
