Period 4 Days Late, Negative FRER

[Brandnewpairofslippers]

Morning all,

I have a 31 day cycle on average, longest cycle ever was 33 days but I’m now on day 35 and since we started TTC this month, I took an FRER this morning but it’s 100% bfn (photo attached)

I have no pregnancy symptoms at all but no incoming period symptoms either which is weird because usually even if I’m a day late I feel bloated and uncomfortable.

If it helps anything I’m 28, we’re TTC for the first time and I’ve never been pregnant before so have no idea what I’m doing

What’s happening? Could I be pregnant despite the BFN or (as I suspect) is it late enough in my cycle for a FRER to pick it up if I was pregnant?

Help!

Hi...ive had 3 children (im also 28) and im still clueless to tests and what ifs...Its usually best to track your ovulation day...you can get an app called flo...It will log your periods and give you ovulation day estimates...and you can do ovulation tests to clarifyvthe day better...then you can count the days after ovulation to better help with pregnancy testing...ive been trying to conceive dor 4 months...And am 2 days late...done some tests and a few have faint lines...some have none...:( still no period and im so confused as to whats going on...Im wondering the same as you...should i have a definate strong psoitive by now at 2 days late??Very stressfull...

If you ovulate later in your cycle than normal, af/ bfp will arrive by the same number of days 'late'. I had my second longest cycle ever 1st months of ttc. Any change or disruption can make you ov late - it's not uncommon and there are always threads asking about it.

Only time will tell!

@My3boys9910 that frer has a line. Test again in 48 hours, by which time the hcg will double if this one has implanted and is growing normally.

It might be just my eyes but if I tilt my phone in different directions I swear I can see a faint line? You may just be very early op? Or it might be my eyes 😂 leave it a couple of days and then do another FRER!

@My3boys9910 that's a positive surely?! I can easily see a line there 😃

You have Bette Elaine eyes than me but actually now you’ve said it I think I can see it, is that not a evap though? Photo was taken a good 10 mins after?

Better line eyes

Can't really tell 🙈 have you got anymore tests you could do?

I haven’t got any more in!

I’d written this cycle off to be honest, I’m still fairly sure I’m 4 days late though so I’ll wait a few more days and if AF doesn’t turn up I’ll retest. Is 10 mins long enough for an evap line?

I can see a line too maybe you are just so early as you maybe ovulated late? X

Could have ovulated late for sure. Ovia reckons I ovulated on 9th Jan and we last dtd on the 8th (I’ve been away with work), but if that was the latest I could have gotten pregnant surely the line would be stronger?

It’s 5 weeks on Saturday since the start of my last period.

You gotta remember though sperm survives up to 5 days I think so could of been way later than when you last dtd it happened x

I don't actually know a lot about evap lines, I just know I can faintly see something! You could either grab another test in the next few days or just wait and see if AF shows up?

There’s no evap line on the test now, there’s no line at all so it was either something or nothing

STILL no AF, it was supposed to start on Tuesday and I normally have 4 days of bleeding, so I’ve officially skipped a period at this point.

If I’m not pregnant, it’s a pretty cruel trick my body is playing to delay my period so much on the very first cycle ever that could result in a pregnancy

If anyone was planning to pick up pregnancy tests from Sainsbury’s at Manchester piccadilly this morning, apologies because I’ve cleared them out

They are blue dye tests but I’m 5 days late according to ovia and 2 days late according to Flo, so hopefully something will pick up if there’s anything there.

I can’t be pregnant, we only dtd once in my fertile window this time because I was away, so it would mean I was pregnant the first time I ever had unprotected sex Argh.

Nope, nothing.

Sorry OP! I would maybe test in a week if you still have no sign of AF? So frustrating being in limbo isn't it 😫

It’s not nice at all! Trust my body to pick my first TTC cycle to go off script

I’m 10 days late and my last period was 18/12/18 I’ve taken around 12 pregnancy tests and all have came back with a very faint line! But the lines are not getting any darker 😭 Was at the doctors today and he couldn’t tell from my tests of positive or not so took a blood test! I need to wait until Tuesday for the results. The suspense is killing me!

Do some women just not get properly strong pregnancy tests early on? I don’t feel pregnant, but I do feel bone tired and today after lunch I felt nauseous.

Who knows

This site is useful for some statistics.

Took this 20 mins ago, the line came up after 13 mins not 2 though so evap?

Ok,

So i think AF arrived yesterday in the form of super light brown spotting.

Brown spotting is slightly more today but still extremely light.

I’m normally 4 tampons in by lunchtime on the first day of my period so this is really not normal for me at all.

Wtf is going on?? Last day I could have possibly gotten pregnant was 8th Jan so I’m absolutely not pregnant, but my cycle seems all kinds of messed up and I’m a bit freaked.

I keep thinking I’ve developed some kind of reproductive abnormality in the same month we start ttc.. I’m not that unlucky surely?

Hi!

Can I just jump in here and see if anything came of this?

I'm in the same situation just now, my period was due on Thursday, it's now Saturday and I've tested again but definitely negative.

Thanks! 😁

Hey, my period came eventually and finished yesterday in the end.

It was a weird period though, long and heavier than normal!

Could have been a chemical pregnancy

Or an anovulatory cycle (totally normal every once in awhile).

Sorry, but in the absence of a positive test, I think it's pretty insensitive and irresponsible to suggest chemical pregnancy as there is no evidence for it.
