Thread for those who are Late for their AF, seems there is a few of us!!

[Ylladyoll]

Hi, as you know I am late, i usually have my period CD28 and now on CD34, I've started this thread for others that are late so we can support eachother through this confusing time xx

Good morning, can I join? I'm 3 days late but I've had about a million bfn's. Had a faint bfp on Saturday with an Asda test but I've read they're unreliable and the subsequent bfns back that up. I don't feel pregnant necessarily but I've been cramping on and off for 10 days but no AF. I feel off. Late AF is giving me false hope :(

@josie465 keep an eye on those pains. Ectopics manifest around 6 weeks & you don't always get a bfp with an ectopic. I'm not saying it is just maybe familiarise yourself with the symptoms to watch out for.

@Ange211 hopefully you are :) @Josie465 I'm on CD38 and apart from cramping at the beginning of the week, I've had no other symptoms at all, cramping has gone and no sign now that AF is coming definitely update thread as you find out xx

AF has arrived so I'm out. Kinda knew I was so it's a relief really. Can move on now. I've basically wasted a week squinting at pee sticks 😭

Still no sign for me 10 days late now xx @Ange211 you can concentrate on the next cycle, I hate this no mans land I'm in atm :( xx

Took a boots test today and still a BFN so no more tests now, prob need to go to docs for a blood test I think

@Ange211
Yes I read a little about ectopic and that’s what I’m afraid of. Wouldn’t it show as positive on a pregnancy test though?
Sorry to hear you’re out but at least you can reset for next month now!

Hi hope you don't mind if i join! I'm on my first cycle after coming off the pill and I think it's wreaked havoc on me. Currently on cd58 😩😩! No sign of anything. Spent a fair bit on preg tests so far. All bfn. Doc says totally normal and takes a while to start ovulating for some women but my god the waiting game is driving me mad. Especially as I have a friend who came off her pill same time as me and shes nearly 8 weeks preg now 😩😩😩 so happy for her yet the green eyed monster is officially out. Told myself I wouldn't get obsessed straight away after all only came off pill in December but very much a symptom spotter. Officially missed the start of what would be my second period now.

Any good news or potential bfps this late??

I think there is the possibility of a BFP not being picked up on hcg urine tests, but I dont think there are many, I'm fairly sure they are accurate, if my period doesn't come by march, I will go to the doctors for blood test and advice. Not having it though has made me feel very off and annoyed.
@Katbaby definitely welcome to join, I think lots of women are late for lots of reasons and this is a useful thread to read and keep these experiences on

Thanks @Ylladyoll, hope you get some answers soon. I have bloods booked 6th March gonna check for anemia and other bits but also said they will put the hcg test in there as well. Hopefully get an update of either af or bfp before then though!

Still no sign, have lots of bloating way more than I usually have, it's very uncomfortable. Decided to do an online consult to get advise from my doctors and see what they suggest. Keep us posted

Let us know what your doc says x

I will,probably say it's my age and it's normal for periods to go funny lol

So doctor rang me up and fobbed me off, it's not unusual at your age for you to miss a period, have you had a hot flush, suddenly feeling hot than not... take another pregnancy test next week, see if period comes if not contact us, but it's likely to be perimenipause so that was a waste of time

Copied from other thread I was literally coming here to start a thread as I'm in the same boat!!! 4 days late now and BFN after BFN. My cycles are usually 26-28 days NEVER over 30 so this is very abnormal. Had a normal, relatively stress free month.

On top of that I have unbearable heartburn which I never have suffered with before and my boobs are so sore it hurts to wash myself

Honestly I'm just wishing it would start now and put me out of my misery.

Maybe it's the storms messing our bodies up!!?!

Oh god @Ylladyoll it's so frustrating if your concerns won't really be heard. Im hoping my blood tests next week shed some light on the situation (hopefully just tell me I'm preg but won't hold my breath haha)

I'm feeling super bloated and crampy today. Maybe af is on her way. Watch this space I guess

I expected to be given a lecture on perimenipause so will just have to get on with things for now, but will keep this thread updated as so many are late for one reason or another

Today I’m 16 days late and still getting pain low down, to one side as well as dizzy spells and sickness/nausea. Still negative pregnancy tests.
I went to the doctors to explain the situation today and she sent me for immediate blood tests (will get results tomorrow). She’s concerned about ectopic and if not that, then a possible ‘problem with the ovaries’ which will require further investigation. So a waiting game until tomorrow and then I should know one way or the other for definite.

I've had a little nausea but I'm not sure if that means anything. Obviously @Josie465 please keep us updated :) hopefully everything will be ok xx

Hi everyone I'm on CD48 and my last period was 3rd Jan I'm 19days late. Went doctors yesterday and she told me it's normal for my period to be late and that I should wait till my period starts. Which I'm still waiting. This is unusual and never had to wait more than 4days for my period, this is 19days. All pregnancy tests have been negative. Done with testing and done with looking for pregnancy symptoms. My poor DH thought I was pregnant when we had 1 positive pregnant test. He's just really disappointed and poor thing had actually prepared to have a second child.

@SandyN89 I didnt even get to see a doctor just a lecture over the phone and that I should look out and note down hot flushes *sigh. My last period was Jan 8th, I didnt get a positive at all just negatives, just gonna wait until my next period is due, retest an then contact the doctors if AF doesnt come. Keep us posted,a few of us are in the same position

Hi everyone

Im on CD37 and this is my second cycle after my ectopic pregnancy. I'm not even sure when to expect my period but I've had a 28 day cycle, 32 day cycle and the most recent cycle being 34 days. I've tested numerous times all coming with a BFN. I have a dull ache in my abdomen today but no real sign of AF.

The whole TTC is so draining. Waiting is all we do. When do you call it a day and make a visit to the dr?

@Ylladyoll Hey wow doctors are really dismissive like your stupid or something and don't know your own body. Fingers crossed for you and everyone that we get the answers.

Me a few days late and bfn going to give up soon I think been trying for 14 months

Yep she was very dismissive but I expected im nearly 44 *sigh
