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 Confused 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 Envy

From Wednesday onwards, no real symptoms.
Thursday had some very sad news so think my mind was well off the pregnancy spotting.
Af always 26-28days
Had pinkish spotting after bd sat night. Thought, that's it she's on her way.
Sunday... nothing 🤔 few cramps on/off in evening.
Today I have brown spotting. Cd27
So I'm assuming af will be with me tomorrow, but it doesn't usually take 4days to arrive and I've had very little on/off cramping today. Af usually causes a constant cramp for a good 24hrs.
Had a bfn Saturday morning. Not bothered testing since.
In the back of my mind there's a teeny chance this is actually implantation but i know if I retest it's going to be bfn.

I need to test tomorrow anyway and let the hospital know where we're at.
So disappointed and so confused. I can only assume all the stress has just messed me up in general 😕

wish someone would help me I was meant to be af but have had nothing for 2days now and have no idea what's going on?! I have been feeling tired(more tired then normal) for about the past few weeks now but thought nothing of it. but the last week or so certain smells make me feel Nassau's/feeling like I wanna be sick and duno why and get occasional cramps but thought nothing of it. Have been off the pill since January and normally regular with af but nothing atm. what advice would you give?!

trippingoverrainbows · 26/06/2018 00:41

@kellydjpiper have you taken a pregnancy test?

Letsdothis42 · 26/06/2018 03:00

Hi Buntyll and others! How are you getting on, any AF or BFP's?

I came onto the conception thread to type this exact same post and found this at the top of the board, please can I join in.

I am 43 TTC#1 having difficulty cycle god knows how long 3 years (once the clinic messed up dates and left it too late) to get IVF on NHS, saving up to go private and I am panicking for a few reasons.

I am bang on regular 28 day cycle with one month in the past 5+years where I was day 29. I am now CD34 and tested on CD 32 and a BFN.

I've been too scared to buy a test and test again for a multitude of reasons, too scared if it's negative again after getting my hopes up, too scared that I might be peri-menopausal (but would it be late like this or just skip a cycle?) I am beyond desperate for a child now and feel like I am so scared to do anything about it (lots of back info).

I am not sure what to do really, will go buy HPT and test again, just wanted to join in, watching this thread with interest.

Can anyone help me please. I know its tmi but needs must.

I always start my period with the first 2 or 3 days of the brown old spotting, then the normal period for a couple of days. Last month i had a heavy spotting of the old blood on the sunday, then nothing until the wed and thereafter it was normal. This month i was due on Friday there which i woke up to as i expected but were now on day 5 and its still just the old blood spotting. I always get sore boobs a couple of days before but as soon as that first day of spotting comes that disappears. This month though they're very swollen and sore and have been since a week past Sunday. No hint of a line on the pee stick last thurs or today.

Whys my body doing this, is it broken?

kitkatsky · 26/06/2018 19:44

Can I join? Used to be every 28 days on dot, then last month I was 2 days late and tested but BFN- wondered a bit if it was psychological as I was going away for the weekend and period was bad timing. I came on day 30 however. This month it's day 31 and I have horrible period pains but no blood. Tests are negative but so frustrated why I'm so irregular last couple of months Angry

kellydjpiper · 26/06/2018 19:58

don't know weather I should or not as don't want to get my hopes up or not

kellydjpiper · 26/06/2018 20:01

@trippingoverrainbows don't know weather I should or not as don't want to get my hopes up or not

trippingoverrainbows · 26/06/2018 20:37

@kellydjpiper I know how you feel being too scared to test. Maybe leave it a few more days then pluck up the courage?

This happens to me too constantly as I have long and irregular cycles, will keep everything crossed for you Thanks

poopsqueak · 26/06/2018 22:52

I'm terrified to try too. I was
8 days over then I had 2 days of brown spotting and one day of blood. Normal AF is one day spotting then three days heavy flow then one day light.

I'm now a week past that and feeling normal, it's just that when I was pregnant with DD I had what I thought was a period the first month and didn't actually know I was pregnant until I was 10 wks. But I don't want to test.

kellydjpiper · 29/06/2018 09:27

@trippingoverrainbows no need to take test as af came today and at the wrong time too as on holiday tomorrow so not a happy beanAngry

RoseRuby26 · 29/06/2018 13:05

I'm glad I found this thread. In a similar position. 26-28 day cycles (for about a year since coming off pill) today is CD 30 and nothing. Lots of cramping since CD26 so I feel sure I'm not pregnant. Why does TTC play havoc with AF? I don't understand the science behind it

trippingoverrainbows · 29/06/2018 19:02

@kellydjpiper Thanks
Sorry to hear this, best of luck with next month

KneesupGaston · 30/06/2018 13:43

Hi, I am the OP (have since name changed), just to let you all know I have now conceived on my second cycle after my late AF last month Smile good luck all of you and I hope you aren't left in limbo too long x

poopsqueak · 02/07/2018 12:57
