8 days late, negative test, worried something is wrong

I came off pill cerelle in March 2017. After 8 weeks I finally got my AF. Since then I've been regular 27-30 day cycles and TTC#2.
If been on cerelle for 5 years since DS was born with absolutely no issues and my periods completely stopped.

I ovulated on or around 24th July.
Af was due 7th August.

A few days before I felt it coming, dull ache in my front and back and down into my thighs nothing out of the ordinary. Anyway, AF didn't arrive so I began testing. I've tested every other day for 8 days and had 4 BFN 😢

I've had no pains or cramps or even a spot of blood.
Today though I've felt a bit light headed, really hot like a hot flush And I've got this kind of stabbing/shooting pain that comes and goes right on my right side of pelvis bone and I'm getting this odd tingly pain in the lower left of my back.

Also, the last few days I've had a white lotion type CM. Sometimes it's been wet sometimes sticky.

I was convinced I was pregnant but because all the tests and coming back negative I'm now worried sick that there is something wrong with me either ovarian cysts or pelvic inflammatory disease because I've done the worst thing ever and self diagnosed on Google.

Has anyone had this? Does anyone have any advice? My Drs surgery is pretty rubbish never feel welcome and always feel rushed when finally get an appointment.

Please help 😕

How did you confirm ovulation? OPK is not a confirmation if you did that. You probably ovulated later than you think or maybe you are pregnant but maybe not showing on a test? Have you tried a FRER?

Hi OP, two cycles ago I had a super long cycle (AF was 12 days late) and worked out that I must have ovulated two weeks later than expected. I was convinced for the 11 days I was late that I was preggers but all tests came back bfn.

This cycle the same has happened. I managed to catch the smiley on my OPK at cycle day 29 (I have a 31-33 day cycle) which was sooo late. And now I'm on cycle day 39 and expecting AF on CD 43.

Maybe wait another week or so and make an appointment with your GP to put your mind at ease. I've also heard the pill, and also TTC, can mess with your cycles even after you think your body has regulated itself.. such a mine field! Good luck

Thank you so much for your replies 😊

I don't use OPK, I tried with first pregnancy and this one and i can never get a positive on them so don't bother.
I track ovulation by what my body is telling me, I get the tugging sensation in my ovaries. I usually get them for 3-5 days, before during and after ovulation.

Maybe I did ovulate late? That's never happened before though ever I've never had longer than a 30 day cycle.

Also on the day my AF was due and a few days before I had all the cramps. It was like my period was there, I felt like I usually do just minus the blood. Since then I've felt barely a thing I'm so confused.
