Late but negative test :-/

[MrsB899]

Me and DH decided that later in the year we would ttc baby no.3. I stopped my pill about 6 months ago to try and get my cycle back to normal so when we were ready we would have some idea of when ovulation etc was due. Using the pull out method with the mindset that if it happened before we was actively trying we wouldn't be disappointed. My last 4/5 cycles have been 31 days before that 34 days I'm now on CD 36 and nothing. I few days ago I had the signs AF was coming, bad skin, cramps, Achey boobs but now nothing. I took a cheap test which was negative yesterday and all my AF symptoms have disappeared. Any ideas? I'm so p'd off just when I was excited to start trying soon my periods go up the wall

My af was 10 days late before I got my bfp. If you ovulate later, you get your bfp later but with using the pull out method, I'd say there's a chance you could be pregnant but not a massive one.
Wait a few more days and if nothing, go to your gp xx

@Mrsmummy90 thank you for your advice. I've had constant headaches too. I'm trying to avoid google so I don't end up panicking 😆 x

I'm also now 2 days late and a negative test this morning :( when I've gone to the toilet it has the ever so faintest red tinge but certainly nothing like my normal period- and has been like that all day. I don't know what to think :(

@Sazzyg1000 so frustrating isn't it. I'd rather a full on period than not knowing

@MrsB899 ansolutely! I can't help but feel a twinge of jealousy for friends who get the positives straight away, sometimes early!

@Sazzyg1000 I know what you mean. I struggle to be happy for them at first. I already have two but I have a feeling we're gonna struggle this time. I know I should be happy with what I have but I so desperately want another. Fingers crossed for you xx

You haven't even started ttc. In the nicest possible way, you're getting ahead of yourself. It's weird to be jealous of other people's pregnancies when you haven't been ttc... especially to the level that you would post about it. What are you jealous of? That their partner had agreed to ttc and yours hasn't? The fact that they're pregnant but you have two children? I don't understand...

I get the hoping to be pregnant and being disappointed that you aren't (maybe this late ovulation cycle might start you ttc a bit sooner than planned), but try not to put carts before horses - that way lies madness.

@physicskate first off I asked for advice or if anyone had been in a similar position as my period is up the shoot. I then agreed with another poster about feeling jealous.
Secondly where you got "their partner agreed and yours hasn't" from I'll never know but let me clear up the wrong assumption you seem to have made up...
Me and my husband was all set to start trying last year when a routine smear of mine came back with severe changes. After a LLETZ procedure which confirmed CIN3 I was then told to put plans of ttc back until I'd had a 6 month check up smear which came back clear in December. So now I have the all clear to go ahead that's why we decided this year nothing to do with my husband not agreeing... I find it weird that you jumped to that conclusion and I hope now you know the reasoning you feel a bit shitty for wrongly assuming. What a bitchy opinion you have.... in the nicest possible way of course.
Enjoy your evening

I was actually pulling from my own experience. It took three years before my dh was 'ready' to give it a go. I was trying to get you to think about why you feel the way you do.

I think your response was uncalled for as nothing I said was 'bitchy' just honest. What an unpleasant response to what is actually quite a gentle suggestion that all might not be as it seems...

I'm sorry you've been experiencing health problems (even though your very defensive post was a bit uncalled for - my intention wasn't for you to feel attacked, but for you to think about why you feel jealous of pregnant women, despite not knowing their circumstances). Perhaps those are the times that teach us to be grateful for what we have (your children and family) but also the time to think about what else we want from our lives. What that's told you is perhaps how much you really want another child.

All I'm saying is that feeling jealous won't help you in the long or short run!!
