5 days late and not pregnant

I know there are lots of feeds about this subject but I'm looking for what else it could be. I've looked online but it can be overwhelming. We are trying for a baby so I'm hoping nothing is wrong but I just wondered if anyone else had been in this situation? I know I ovulated as I bleed a little on my 14th day and I've always come on, on the 28th day so this is all new to me.

TIA

Hi ladies, just wondering how everyone is getting on?
I'm now cycle day 51, thought I had a faint positive with SMU yesterday but then BFN today so I think it's safe to say it was a false one 🙄

Newtothis12 · 24/08/2020 13:52

Hello sorry to hear this. I took a test yesterday and the line was stronger however am just scared that it evaporation line or somthing so will retest on friday x

Ladybird345 · 24/08/2020 14:40

@Newtothis12 that sounds good. If it came up within the timeframe it won't be an evap. Is it letting you post photos yet? Sounds like you ovulated late and that's why it's taken a while to get a positive x

Newtothis12 · 24/08/2020 15:20

@Ladybird345 it came up light within 10 mins then stronger after that i have a son at 9 years and when pregnant with him i didnt find out till i was 16weeks so i am new to all this early pregnancy stuff tbh i dont have a clue. And no still cant upload so strange i cant even send one in a private mail x

peacheswife · 24/08/2020 15:21

@Ladybird345 @Newtothis12 I did a digital today and it was a BFN so god knows. I'd like my period now so I can try again.

Fingers crossed for you both!

peacheswife · 24/08/2020 15:54

@Newtothis12 big fat negative. It's not silly I had to google Mumsnet shorthand because I couldn't read most people's posts 😂

TWW two week way

Ladybird345 · 24/08/2020 16:43

Apologies my son decided to press send before I was finished 🙄

TWW two week wait

There will be more but can't think off the top of my head.

Wow 16 weeks pregnant, I bet that was a shock? It sounds really promising with your tests, what tests are you using?

@peacheswife Digitals need a high level of pregnancy hormone to read a positive so you might not be out 🤞 fingers crossed for you!

I just had another faint line but it was more faint than yesterday so no idea what's going on?

Newtothis12 · 24/08/2020 17:10

@Ladybird345 thank you very much. X

Mama090319 · 25/08/2020 08:17

@peacheswife did you contact your GP? I’m going to call mine today I think

peacheswife · 25/08/2020 09:46

@Mama090319 not yet, Monday's are always a nightmare to get through to mine. As I'm now 7 days I'm going to try tomorrow as I've not done a test today.

Let me know what they say to you.

Mama090319 · 25/08/2020 15:35

@peacheswife I tried to get through for half an hour and gave up. I’ll try again tomorrow which will be 11 days late Hmm

Newtothis12 · 25/08/2020 16:06

But today i dont feel pregnant if this makes sence i think am just so worried and reading to much reviews online that they are evaporation lines.

peacheswife · 25/08/2020 16:21

@Newtothis12 I've never heard of evaporation lines. I'd say that's positive but I don't want to get your hopes up. Have you tried a digital one?

OP posts:
calimommy · 25/08/2020 16:26

@Newtothis12 those are both positive. Those are not evaporation lines.

Newtothis12 · 25/08/2020 16:43

@peacheswife yeh and it said not pregnant but i would only be 3weeks and iv heard they need high hormones @calimommy what i will do is buy more on friday that way i will be 4 weeks and should get a reading if i am i am now 11 days late aswell x

calimommy · 25/08/2020 17:10

@Newtothis12 you have line progression from the 22 to the 23rd. Take those as positives. You are pregnant. 👍 congrats!

peacheswife · 25/08/2020 17:38

@Newtothis12 I'm with @calimommy they are positive lines with progression! Congratulations Thanks

Thank you ladies i will double check on friday and let you all know ❤️👍🏻

Luce89 · 25/08/2020 22:02

Hi again ladies. I forgot to say, when I had a super long cycle (over 50 days) my GP said they wouldn't do anything to help until I'd missed at least 3 periods. Luckily I was also having tests done privately, and they prescribed me some tablets to force a breakthrough bleed to allow my next cycle to begin. Might be an option if your AF still doesn't come soon?

Ladybird345 · 26/08/2020 04:36

Hi ladies

I've ended up awake at stupid o'clock so did a FMU test and it was BFN so I'm feeling pretty down with it all now. Cycle day 53 and nothing.

@Luce89 thanks for the help 😊

@Newtothis12 those definitely look like lines to me! I would try a pink dye test and see what it shows. Got my fingers crossed for 🤞

@peacheswife did you do another test?

Hope you all get BFPs soon xx

Newtothis12 · 26/08/2020 08:49

@Ladybird345 sorry to hear this 😔 dont loose hope x

peacheswife · 26/08/2020 10:25

@Ladybird345 no I've not got any more in the house. I'm just treating it like a missed and getting on with trying again hoping that I ovulate sometime. I'm sorry to hear it's still BFN. I'm sure if I did one it would too as I have no symptoms of pregnancy. I hope it happens soon for you!

@Newtothis12 let us know how you get on.
