AF has just shown up a full week late! I'm disappointed but hopefully my cycle will regulate now - DH and I are gearing up to try again in a couple of weeks!

Josie465 · 12/02/2020 19:55

Here I am, joining from the other couple of ‘I’m late’ threads. I’m now 9 days late. Last tested yesterday morning with clear blue digital ‘not pregnant’ but no sign of af I’m wondering how long to leave it before heading to the doctors- anyone have any experience? X

Ylladyoll · 12/02/2020 20:07

Current thinking is if you miss 3 periods, I'm gonna go to the doctors if I reach CD 56, currently on CD35, which will mean I've missed two periods, I will go for advice. I have stopped the pregnacare vits today so hopefully that will sort things out. Keep us updated @Josie465

@itssquidstella fingers crossed march is your month 🤞

@itssquidstella so sorry about that, but at least you know now! Wishing you a regular cycle and a BFP next time around!

@Josie465 welcome to the club! My estimate is about 9 days late as well! I did get one faint positive on Saturday (I think), and a neg blood on Monday so I think it might be a "chemical"...but nothing is for sure until AF shows up...so here I wait. Planning to test again this weekend. Not sure when you should check in with the drs...they'll probably say after 2 missed, unless you have pains or something like that. :( When I was told I had a neg blood on monday, nurse was very dismissive and basically said it must just be a weird cycle...she really didn't care...(upsetting)

Ylladyoll · 12/02/2020 20:35

I think some nurses and doctors can be so dismissive about things that are concerning to you. It's a kind of limbo when your late for AF (first time I've experienced this without a positive pregnancy test) and getting BFN on tests. I will definitely wait to see if it turns up in march if not I will have to go to the doctors.
I was on several late for AF tests so one specific thread seemed like a good idea, there is a few of us that are over a week late and have BFN tests :/

My doc didn’t care when I said I was a week late ! Said they only really care if you miss three periods

PMB123 · 13/02/2020 16:13

@Ylladyoll and @Josie465 any signs of AF today? I had some very light spotting, light brown in shade, and a few mild cramps yesterday, but nothing since...also, boob pain has about gone away.

Ylladyoll · 13/02/2020 16:28

Still nothing, even cramps have gone, my AF should have arrived 6the Feb so now 7 days late :(

OP posts:
Josie465 · 13/02/2020 19:25

Still nothing over here. My lower tummy is feeling really hard and I’m bloated.

I’ve made a routine appointment with the doctor for something unrelated (next week) so if still no af or positive test by then, I’ll be able to ask about it.

PMB123 · 13/02/2020 21:13

So, no AF still. I've actually started to again convince myself that I'm pregnant. But after neg blood on Monday it seems so unlikely. I might buy a test tomorrow...but I don't want to see another neg. But I guess if I do, then I really will know, right? Ha, no...I still won't be sure until AF shows!

@Ylladyoll I'm like 11 days late or so? I'm losing count

@Josie465 Big boobs, but no pain right now, definitely bloated (all pants are tight) and heavy feeling in tummy again. Also, waking up at 4:30-5AM past few mornings. Also crying easily.

Ylladyoll · 13/02/2020 21:17

I'm done with peeing on sticks, if my AF doesn't arrive by the 5the March, I will go get advise from docs, ask for a blood test xx

Kevinisadog · 13/02/2020 22:54

Late here too by 2 days so far and bfn... but it's been a really stressful week.

Argh.. my body is so confusingly unpredictable.

Ylladyoll · 13/02/2020 23:04

Being late with no answers sucks 😭😭😭

OP posts:
Ylladyoll · 14/02/2020 10:31

8 days late and still no symptoms and no sign of AF coming Confused

OP posts:
PMB123 · 14/02/2020 13:10

AF/miscarriage arrived today, so I've got my answer finally. Now to decide if we'll try again next month...I'm very torn :(

Ylladyoll · 14/02/2020 13:39

I think it's a difficult choice because it's a rollercoaster. I dont know what my body is doing atm but hopefully something will happen so I know one way or another Confused

@PMB123 [Hugs]

OP posts:
PMB123 · 14/02/2020 16:03

Thanks for the hugs @Ylladyoll. Just came across a peer of mine on facebook- preg w/ her 3rd at 44. Baby will come when she's 45- and honestly, it's just what I needed to see today. I think we'll give it another go. If I don't, I think I'll always regret not trying. So, there we have it. Now I just have to hope for the best!!

Ylladyoll · 14/02/2020 17:22

I've just have the view that I just concentrate on life things and see what happens, we ain't using anything so I guess not obsessing about it or hoping for it to happen. I will keep updating this thread when my BFN and no AF situation sorts itself out, AF still MIA Confused

Can I join, another month on wasting money on pregnancy tests because I'm convinced I am pregnant 🙄 6 days late !

Ylladyoll · 15/02/2020 08:20

Yes sure @floordrobey still no AF show and I'm 9 days late now :/ no tests gonna wait until 5th march to go to doctors if it doesnt come by then for a blood test x

OP posts:
floordrobey · 15/02/2020 08:35

@Ylladyoll are you normally late? My cycles normally 28 days , last month it was 37 and now I'm late again 😫

Ylladyoll · 15/02/2020 08:54

Nope in 10 years I have been early by 4 days once and late by 2 days once. I did start pregnacare vitamins this month and have read online they can lengthen cycle so stopped taking them 3 days ago to see if it is those delaying it, I have never in my life been this late without being pregnant:/ I am 43 so it could be an age thing? @floordrobey

Josie465 · 15/02/2020 10:08

Took a first response test this morning (instead of internet cheapies) and still negative. Cycle day 41 now and 12 days late. I’m getting some sharp pain low in my tummy on the left side today so maybe af is coming (although this is not a usual symptom for me). Dr google has only made me worried that something is wrong.
