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!

Were you on any kind of birth control before TTC?
That could be the reason your period is unusual! X

@physickate - having read your msg I went back and re-read OP msgs and realised I thought she had a faint positive before light bleed hence why I suggested a chemical!!

OP I misread one of your msgs that had the faint positive that is prob an evap line. Apologies for suggesting chemical, only speaking from experience xx

@HannahW29 Hi! My AF was due Thurs too and hasn't shown up yet. Normally I get a sore lower back night before but no sign yet. I've been having dull aches off and on in my lower left abdomen, first at 9dpo then 12dpo (when I got a -ve test) and it's continued off and on since 14dpo. It's very like the ovulation pain I normally get.

I'm sure I'm just symptom spotting like crazy, but I've not had any other symptoms really.

Anyone else got experience of this - good sign? Could-mean-anything sign?

@Trinnidad it's so confusing, I'd rather know one way or the other!

I've not had any symptoms of AF coming which I do normally get, I've normally got bad cramping for a day or two before it comes.

As for pregnancy, I've not had many symptoms either, apart from Friday when I woke up with a horrible metallic taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away! It was gone today though. Other than that I've had a lot of fatigue and been needing to pee a lot more.

I took a FRER early test on Tuesday and it was negative, took a Clearblue one on Wednesday then held off until this morning and took a Clearblue and a cheapie test and both were negative.

I'm not sure when I ovulated because we've not been tracking too closely other than the occasional OPK or the Ovia app, we've been trying for 4/5 months now though so I ordered some Clearblue ovulation tests earlier and so will start tracking this cycle.

I'm still trying to stay positive and hope I get a positive but I'm thinking that surely it's unlikely when I'm still getting BFN tests!

I've got my fingers crossed for you that you get your BFP and AF stays away! 😁
