Some advice would be great. My last period was June 1st, today I am 11 days late. According to my flow app, I ovulated on the 15th June. Had sex on the 17th and 19th. I had spotting up until the 20th. Nothing since. I am 25dpo and 11 days late. I have done numerous tests. 1 last Wednesday came back with a faint positive (2days for period) all the rest have been negative before and since, even used a FRER. I am now experiencing a thin stretchy white discharge. No Period pains but I have had dull electric shock type pains in the top of vagina, pubic area. Nausia on and off. But settling now. Vivid dreams for about a week but again settling now. What's the opinions on this? Possibly pregnant but just not showing or defo not pregnant and a late period?

Have you recently come off of hormonal birth control?

How long did the spotting last that finished on the 20th.

Justme1235 · 10/07/2020 17:12

Came off on birth control in August. I've had problems with spotting in between periods since November and in November I thought I was pregnant as I was a week late and had symptoms. Like now. But turns out I wasn't, had to have a blood test in the end. I've had internals and the neck of my womb has moved which is what they have said could cause spotting. So it's extremely strange that I now have no spotting at all on top of no Period. I had to have a smear and it came back as Hpv positive, I spoke to the nurse and she said that that can't affect your cycle or cause spotting.

And how long did the spotting last that finished on the 20th?

Justme1235 · 10/07/2020 17:39

4 days. It was just pink light spotting on and off. Not constant and didn't need a pad or anything.

@Curiosity101

Do you have any idea what's going on?

@Justme1235 are you tracking ovulation? If you are just using the apps you will find that they won't predict when AF is due correctly every month and they can't really predict ovulation (they'll just guess based on the average woman). So you may not be late you may have just ovulated late, so could be too early to see what on a HPT as you may only be a week or so past ovulation 🤔 but if you are concerned about spotting I would contact your GP ❤️

I would suggest using bbt and opks to get an idea of when you ovulate . You could have a long cycle , late ovulation etc those Apps are no good for most women as it assumes you have a 28 day cycle with ovulation somewhere around day 14/15 .
You may not being dtd when it’s most important too.
Bbt means your track your core temperature , you normally buy a special thermometer and take a reading orally or vsginally as soon as you wake up . You enter your reading every day into fertility friend app. You should see a temperature rise after ovulation . The fertility friend app will mark your ovulation day normally after three high readings .
With opks , these are cheap pee sticks , these will get darker than the control line when you are reaching peak lutenising hormone ( which peaks on the day , day before or couple of days before ) ovulation actually happens so you can dtd as much as possible when it darkens . Also watch out for egg white cm that can show before ovulation .
Just don’t rely on one of those apps ! X

Also just noticed you mention you though ovulation was on 15 June but you dtd 17 and 19th? You need to dtd before ovulation . The five days before ovulation you are most fertile ( as sperm can survive up to five days inside you) I actually dtd every day before ovulation and have got pg twice this way . Plenty of spermies to meet the egg! Good luck xx

I could have written this myself. Faint positive, negatives ever since, and still no period Sad

IsItGinOclock1 · 11/07/2020 09:33

I was just about to point out the same as @Sunshinelove8, if you are trying for a baby sex after ovulation isn’t going to get you pregnant. You need to be having sex in the days leading up to ovulation and ovulation day itself. Might also be an idea to start tracking with opk, just because an app predicts you’ll ovulate doesn’t mean it’s actually that day, they can be out if you don’t ovulate on the average day for your cycle length or have cycles that vary in length.

I have been over a week late and got a negative test when I’ve been pregnant but I ovulated the day my period should have been due. I was breastfeeding, stupidly assumed my cycle was back to normal after having my first child as I’d had 2 cycles exactly 28 days and threw caution to the wind as I could feel “period” cramps (it was actually ovulation). I was nearly 2 weeks late before I got a positive test. So it is technically possible to get a late positive but generally speaking if you are over a week late, have regular cycles but a negative test I’d assume not pregnant.

Thanks for all the responses. The app I use mostly calculates my period and has been accurate,. I'm mostly on a 28 day cycle. Doesn't change my last period which was 1st June, so either way, I'm nearly 2 weeks late. Pregnancy symptoms but negative tests.

@Justme1235 just for a bit of context, I have been off hormonal contraception for about 6years and most of my cycles are around 28days but I've randomly had a 43 day cycle and 35 day cycle in the last year. No woman has 28 days every month if you are getting negative tests I'd just keep DTD as you could definitely be ovulating late. If you've been off contraception for 11 months - it's not crazy that you'd have the majority of your cycles at 28 but also some longer ones in there. Good luck ❤️

Justme1235 · 11/07/2020 12:18

Thank you. Never gone this long without a bleed, plus I have had issues with spotting and now nothing. Very strange indeed.

@Justme1235 I feel like my body is playing tricks on me. I keep spotting pregnancy signs - feeling sick, tired, sore boobs. But tests are still showing negative. I'm testing every 2 days because part of me is still holding out hope that I ovulated late

Justme1235 · 11/07/2020 16:09

I know, it's so frustrating isn't it. I've not tested for a few days, actually saying that, I think it was Thursday when I tested last. So only 2 days ago really haha. Monday my period will be 2 weeks late.

What smileyT says - your cycle can change any month . I had 6 months ovulating on day 15 , 28 day cycle. Lately it’s been ovulation on cd10 ! Cycle is 24 days . It can happen as hormones change , stress , age etc . Why take the risk ? At least do opks so you can check if you are ovulating when you think you are . So many women assume they are late and it’s just a long cycle x
