Hi I was looking for advice/opinions!
I’m TTC and 2 days late on my period. I thought this month was the month as about 1 week before I was due on I was bloated, starving all the time, nauseas, headaches, cramps and very tender breasts! Then AF didn’t appear and I thought I must be pregnant. I was due on Wednesday it’s now Thursday evening and still no sign of AF coming but all negative tests. I am bang on every month and never late! Is there a chance I could still be pregnant or do we think I’m done for the month?:(
Any opinions/experiences will be very appreciated!!

And I still have all of these symptoms may I add!

If you are getting negative tests it's unlikely you are pregnant. It is discouraging but it could be an off month. Last month I was three days late and waiting to test, so sure, but 🤷‍♀️ are you confident of your ovulation dates?

Hi,

I'm currently 5 days late and BFN..
I had brief brown spotting 6 days before AF was due, have had really bad lower back ache for over a week now, very tired, nausea on and off, very tender tummy, terrible acne
Was reading on a forum earlier that someone took test and got BFN on day AF was due, 3 days late, 4 days late, 6 days late and 7 days late. Then got a BFP at 11 days late so I'm hopeful! Never normally miss a period so fingers crossed.

@calimommy it’s so confusing!!! I’m trying so much not to think about it but I can’t shift the fact that I have never ever been late. Yes I have been using the tests to track my ovulation - I ovulated on cycle day 13 and am now cycle day 29. I am very regular every month

@Pix2 spotting sounds promising for you!! Ah that’s interesting, I’m going to leave it a week and try and put it to the back of my mind and then test again if AF still hasn’t come. I have everything crossed for you!

@LydiaC97 hope so! I've only been off the pill 2 months now but had a normal period 28 days after coming off it so assumed that meant it was back to normal. Been using the Clue app and trying to track ovulation and DTD a lot around those times. Never ever missed a period or been late apart from when I've been pregnant before so am still hopeful. On the other hand if I'm not pregnant I'd rather AF rear her ugly head sooner rather than later lol
Do you think you can go a week without testing? I really struggle at having self control lol

LydiaC97 · 12/03/2020 22:11

I’m on month 4 and TTC our first! I’m seriously symptom spotting 😂 I’m the same if I’m not pregnant I just want AF! Never thought I’d say that but I’m almost desperate to see it every time I go to the toilet just for some answers!!
After the reel of excitement of no period and then negative tests (I think I’ve had 5 now and I’m only day 2!!!!) I’m going to try really hard to push myself to next Weds. I may do a clear blue on Saturday morning as I’ve been using cheap strip ones but other than that I’m going to try push it out! Will see how it goes though lol

It's a pain because if not pregnant how can we track ovulation with no AF?! My OH already said he is physically drained from our fertile window week lol. With 2 LOs we dont get much time together normally so with TTC again we are knackered from trying lol

I've only ever used cheapie tests, with my 1st I got 2 BFN before a dream made me take another test and got BFP took 7 months of TTC
My 2nd the smell if a tuna sandwich made me take a testwhen I nearly threw up and got a BFP took 4 months of TTC

Pix2 · 12/03/2020 22:23

My brothers girlfriend has just announced shes pregnant when they aren't trying which is a real knife Turner when we are!

calimommy · 12/03/2020 22:41

@LydiaC97 it's so annoying, seriously. Agreed, if you are getting BFN then AF would want to stump up and end the cycle so you can start fresh. Ha! With my first 4 pregnancies I got BFP 6 days before AF was due. Then the 5th I was so sure I was pregnant but kept getting BFN. I was so confused, then the day AF was due I finally got a BFP. The tests went from white to dark within 24hrs 🤷‍♀️ hope that's your case... or she shows up and ends the wait! X

LydiaC97 · 13/03/2020 13:56

@Pix2 my two closest friends are both pregnant and both unintentional!!! It’s so painful!

LydiaC97 · 13/03/2020 13:56

@calimommy ah okay. Thank you, I think either way I will be relieved now!! Still no sign of AF today. Extremely bloated and constipated (tmi). Boobs still tender and swollen and now itchy and spotty?

Well 6 days late today..AF is a no show..got the very faintest of lines with FMU but tested again this afternoon and this evening and BFN..argh! This is so exhausting!

raspberryjamlove · 13/03/2020 20:59

Hi everyone hope you don't mind me jumping on the thread, good luck @Pix2 it sounds promising!

raspberryjamlove · 13/03/2020 21:01

@LydiaC97 how many dpo are you? I'm 13 and af due Monday, I'm getting all negative tests not even a glimmer of a line so not feeling hopeful :( x

LydiaC97 · 13/03/2020 21:25

@Pix2 that sounds promising!!!! Try and test again with first urine in the morning?!

LydiaC97 · 13/03/2020 21:26

@raspberryjamlove I’m now 17 DPO and 3 days late for AF. No signs of AF and not even the faintest of lines. I think I’m out for the month but SO beyond confused why I’m late!

Pix2 · 13/03/2020 21:29

LydiaC97 · 13/03/2020 22:28

Same here I'm on cd41 normal af is 28-32,tests bfn, I've tried cheapies to CB/FRER, FMU this morning bfn again :-(

raspberryjamlove · 14/03/2020 07:09

I've really worked myself up this month and frustrated at myself for being like this. Have tell take af pains today I get day before she arrives so think I'm out, did another test this morning because I'm some kind of addict lol and of course bfn xx

calimommy · 14/03/2020 07:25

@babybumpfor2020 did you have any spotting at any point at all?

babybumpfor2020 · 14/03/2020 08:00

@calimommy No I've had no spotting, I have mild cramps for about week when I thought af was coming. My cervix is very high and hasn't come down. I got my hopes up thinking I was pregnant but I can't be with all the negatives.

Pix2 · 14/03/2020 08:23

FMU and still BFN! Not sure if yesterday was a dud then. Officially 7 days late which I'm sure I read means that I've missed my period completely. Only ever missed a period when been pregnant before so not sure what is wrong with me...Sad

LydiaC97 · 14/03/2020 08:26

Woken up this morning with the most awful period pains but no sign of it still! So confusing BFN again
