Confused/disappointed

[Manycatsandallthegin]

Hi all,

Anyone care to offer any advice?

3rd month of trying. Dtd all over my fertile week and after too (just for fun/to be sure). We were away over FW snowboarding with friends and i didnt notice my usual ovulation signs - ie cramping and ewcm due to being so cold/distrated. But thought nothing of it at the time.
I normally get af on a monday. Though this month both my apps - flo and clue have said today as being af arrival day, which in itself is strange. Had horrendous cramping and back pain for the last 2 days, nausea, dizziness too. Now have sniffles and a sore throat.
So expected to wake up to af today but no sign of it yet, plus back ache and cramps have 100% disappeared.
I took a test last night as id read the cramps nausea and back ache could be very early pregnancy symptoms but was the biggest negative you could ever get.

Any ideas?
I know ive only been trying a few months and some of you heroes have been trying so much longer...not sure how i will cope with this disappointment every month for god knows how long!

Good luck to you all who are trying! Xxx

Give it a day or two and test again. Personally I’d get some cheap ones and test every two days until AF appears or you get a positive.

Being unwell can delay ovulation, which means either AF or positive test could also be late.

Good luck. There’s always next month!

Ovulation can be delayed by various changes in lifestyle, including travel - if you ovulated late then AF or a positive test will also be later.

Just an update: still no BFP and still no period. Couldnt feel less pregnant or less pms-y if I tried. So no friggin clue whats going on. Had all my tears and accepted its not this month...

...but a little piece of me is holding onto a glimme of hope.

Anyone any advice of how to get my bfp or my period? i just want to crack on!!!

Hi Manycatsandallthegin

I'm in the same boat. Currently 10 days late, tested yesterday and BFN. Have felt rubbish for weeks which I assumed was PMS then stayed to hope it was early pregnancy and now I'm just devastated it's not my month and impatient for AF to show her face so we can move on. The wait is horrendous

Hi Deedz thanks for replying though im sorry to hear youre in the same position.
It sucks. And i feel awful because im just not in the mood to dtd right now either.

I keep googling to find success stories for people in our situation. Its rare but it happens. But ive found myself ignoring the many many examples of when period eventually arrives and cling to the odd ones where a bfp makes itself known. Ive ran out of tests now so going to leave it another week before testing again. If still neg then going to go the doctors for a blood test.

I hope you are able to move on soon and wish lots of baby dust in your direction soon x

Sending you positive vibes too, our time will come
