Sorry this is long! I'm 36, TTC #1, trying for 7 months.
Until July I had a very regular 28 day cycle, usually with a few days of brown spotting before it starts. In July AF arrived a week early (so cd21), after a few days of spotting. In August, it arrived CD26, after 3 days of spotting, so almost back to normal.
I'm now on CD31 (16dpo) and AF has not arrived. I got really excited for this one because on 11-14dpo I had light pink spotting and felt very bloated and a bit crampy. I took a FRER on Saturday - 14dpo - and it was stark white - definite negative.
AF still hasn't arrived, but I'm now getting very small amounts of red spotting - not brown like I normally get, but red. I'm using a cup as I'm out and about a lot for work and don't want AF to start out of nowhere, otherwise I probably wouldn't even notice it.
I feel so crap when I get a negative test that I don't want to test again and I'd have thought 14dpo should have shown a positive if I was pregnant. Is there anything else that could be going on here? I have no particular stress at the moment and haven't gained or lost weight recently. Is this something to go to the GP for? Even my tracker app has given up on me and removed all its predictions
