The period is late and BFN bus!

[BuntyII]

Who else is suffering this annoyance? I was expecting my period at the weekend, so it's not terribly late, but it's not usually late at all. But of course BFNs had a squinter yesterday but it didn't really turn into anything.

This happened once before a few years ago when I was TTC DC1 and i had skipped a whole cycle for no reason!

Hunker down cause it's gonna be a long few days til we get answers

@trippingoverrainbows
Yes, babies everywhere you turn!

Ttc has mentally screwed me up in short 🤦🏻‍♀️
I always knew when I was due give or take a day. Got cramps a couple of hours before.
All the temping, opk's, checking everything, I honestly think stresses us out more than we realise.
It does have an impact on our cycles.
I generally ovulate day 14/15 every month. The rest of it is just a guess.
I've gone from 28day cycle to 25-30days since scrutinising everything.
I've had 3 chemical pregnancies which seems to throw everything off.
It's all so stressful.

Then to randomly find out you actually have a low egg count and they're not necessarily maturing very well was such a slap in the face. I had no idea, didn't even cross my mind.
Nothing to say we can't get pregnant thank goodness, just that it 'may' be more difficult and given I'm 35 already it's been advised to 'hurry things along'
So we have opted to self fund IUI for 3 cycles, first shot with no meds.
As nhs won't refer me for ivf until I loose about 2 stone 😐

Never felt so alone in all my life. Poor DH is just sitting in the sidelines unable to do anything but produce a sample and be emotional support 😞

@Wishful30 I'm so sorry to hear this. When did you decide to go visit the doctors to see what they would do? Guessing you probably had to go private for the tests too if in the UK. Hopefully this will the start of more positive times for you 🌸

I have no clue if there is anything the docs would do to regulate my cycles as if has only been 2 cycles since the MC.

On the weight front, I really struggle with this too. Would losing the 2 stone help get you into the 'healthy' weight range? It's so so tough

@trippingoverrainbows

Yes, 2 stone would put in the healthy range easily!
Only went for test as DH was concerned he had a problem. 'What if'
So we went together and paid for a package deal with initial tests. It was about £300 so well worth it to find out the problem.
We've been referred back to Nhs for IVF so hopefully should we need it, I will have lost the weight and be ready to dive in.
The nhs don't fund IUI only IVF. Which actually I feel is a real shame.
It's a fraction of the price and a lot less invasive/complicated.
It's not got the best success rate, but being on this app has made me speak to lots of success stories!
🤞🏻

Well now I'm 3 days late, 16 dpo. Did another test. BFN. I knew this would happen, but wanted to use the last test i had in the house so I can't keep on testing when I know deep down this is probably just a mega-long cycle. Now I guess i wait and see when AF rears her ugly head. So annoyed and upset. That'll teach me for putting off having a second for so long. Off to drown myself in carbs...

Anyone had any positives after a while? I'm 11 days late for AF and still getting negatives. I think I am loosing my mind x

I'm still firmly on the BFN and zero AF bus 😐

@trippingoverrainbows me too! CD37, 17dpo, af 5 days late. BFN today. On the plus side, boobs are starting to ache, and I'm getting some cramping. So maybe af is on her way! Quite frankly I'd be happy to see her so I know all is functional!

How's everyone doing? Just saw this thread as I'm in the same boat, now 5 days late.....

Anyone had any good news since last week?

No good news here! CD43, 11 days late. Definitely not pregnant. Sigh. The joys of being "old" I guess...or maybe my cycles hadn't really settled after having implant removed (in Feb, after 3 normal cycles). Would just be nice to have af now so that I can move on. Feel like I'm in limbo!!

Sorry @Dassie81 will keep my fingers crossed your cycles resume normal service soon! I am also praying for the same thing 🙏🏻

Really happy to report that af has arrived! Thank goodness :)

Nearly a month late!!
Negative tests!
My only glimmer of hope is that my boobs are really sore!!

We weren't actively TTC but if it happened it happened!!

Hope you all get your BFP's
X

7 days late still but bfn!! What's going on????

Just jumping on here, with my first I was 2 weeks late before it would show up on a test! Always hope! 🤞🤞

Really?! That must have been the longest 2 weeks!! Fingers crossed for me then

I'm 6 days late. Not tested as have no symptoms and we weren't ttc but starting to wonder as my period tracking app is telling me I am over.

Plus I am weirdly exactly synched with the girl I sit next to at work (we realised a few months back) to the day, and she came on last Wednesday.

In an odd way, I'm glad it's not just me.

27 day cycle.
AF due yesterday
Tested yesterday morning - BFN

Slept until almost lunch today (unheard of as I'm a 6am riser) and been too tired to do much for the last few days
Have been horrifyingly bloated for 2-3 days
Have had a funny feeling in my tummy which is how i feel if i try to read in the car (best description I can think of)

(TMI alert - sorry!!) My cervical mucus seems to be be white and thin with a musky smell.

Haven't tested today because everu now and then I have a 28 day cycle but this is all so unusual. I don't normally go for symptom spotting but even DH has said being this bloated and exhausted is out of character
Fingers crossed.

Any news anyone?

@poopsqueak

7dpo... twinges are now more cramps and mostly left sided.
Boobs were painful yesterday, but not so much today.
Back hurts.
Hungry, constantly!
Waves of needing to lay down. But I'm on my feet all day so very difficult 😐

Hoping these are all good signs.

I've had a couple of chemicals before.
So I can't decide whether to test early or not. I kinda want to know if the IUI worked, but I also want to avoid getting excited at an early bfp incase it's another chemical 🤦🏻‍♀️

i woke up to a bit of pink and brown blood, which has now stopped.

Normally my period starts then gets very fast very quickly. Almost always need to wear full pad an tampon all day on the first day and I have nothing on atm. No cramp either.

Going to keep an eye on it today and tomorrow.

As I said we werent trying so not too worried if this is AF.

AF was due on the 14th, I started spotting pale pink blood for 3-4 days before having a period style bleed on day 5 red blood, and today a very light bleed with brown blood that has now stopped. Sorry if too much info. 3 BFN's but my periods are usually on time, heavy and last 5-7 days. Today I had some nausea, tiredness and hungry all the time... any thoughts?

Also feel really bloated

In all honesty who knows @daisybeth13

My last period was similar. I was 3 days late and started with very pale pink for 2 days, then it started to go a deeper brownish red, but fairly light. It wasn't until day 4 that it got red for maybe 2 days and then it was light for a few more.
My usual are 4-5 days and are heavy by the end of day 1. They've been that was constantly for over 3 years. This one took forever to start and lasted just over a week!
I tested once it was over just to be sure as it had been so random and it was bfn as I assumed it would be.
I think people will say be wary of red blood as that implies it was af instead of implantation of some kind, but everyone is different.
I'd say if you go for worst case scenario, presume that was af and you know where you stand. If you are still questioning in a few more days/a week, then do another test to see.

Thanks for the reply @Frizzy1986 I will leave it a few days and test again. So annoying that everyone is different and has different symptoms as makes trying to understand what is going on really difficult

I'm 4 days late just took a test and bfn
