@SimplyAmy1 ye I am, I set up a online app not actually due to this but fertility questions in general af had actually turned up 2 days prior to app (was pre booked) I have three children however I was worried I've not fell preg already and had twice this time been longest af has been late and thought preg deep down I knew she basically said due date of af it's like 99.9999% would get a positive
So in other words no way would happen
I think when I realised what I knew deep down I relaxed af came! Now on for this month lol

SimplyAmy1 · 25/11/2020 16:03

Ahhhh! Good luck for this month!! One of my friends suggested I call 111 Cos I’m still getting a wee bit of shoulder pain too but I just don’t wanna feel like I’m wasting their time. Xxxx

Hi @SimplyAmy1, looking at your tests, HCG & OPK, I think you are not pregnant this time. Since you've only had one period since coming off the pill I think your cycles just aren't regular yet. Disappointing I know! I always think, but women get pregnant ON the pill, why not when I'm OFF it?? I hope AF shows up soon to end your limbo. Then onwards to another opportunity! I really recommend OPK testing everyday from when you stop bleeding to when you start again. During my fertile days I usually test twice a day. If nothing else, you get an absolute of what is going on in your cycle, ie which days you are surging and if you are having multiple surges in a cycle.

SimplyAmy1 · 25/11/2020 16:24

Thankyou and I agree! I just wish my period would hurry up haha Xxx

Hi op, perhaps it might be worth contacting gp, as I've heard about shoulder pain and early pregnancy.
Possibly help you find out what's happening, given the tests have been confusing? X

Sansa87 · 25/11/2020 17:13

Is it possible you didn’t ovulate @SimplyAmy1 your body geared up, but an egg didn’t release, so it’s trying again now?

sociallydistained · 25/11/2020 17:53

@SimplyAmy1 I am in a similar position but this would be month 3 of coming off the pill. My first cycle I bled early then at day 35 now I don't know what's happened but it's day 35 now and I'm getting every symptom known to man but no AF. But thinking its pill relayed?

SimplyAmy1 · 25/11/2020 18:46

@thesunwillout hey!
I called them last week and they wouldn’t let me speak to a doctor, they just told me
To go and fetch a pregnancy pack 🤨 I rewined explaining I wasn’t actually pregnant to the receptionist but she didn’t care! Xx

@Sansa87 I was using the test strips and there was a mega dark line on 3rd xxx

@sociallydistained I came off end of September,
Bled October 20th for a week and then nothing! Was supposed to come on last Monday,... yep so many symptoms too, it’s so frustrating isn’t it!! Xxx

SimplyAmy1 · 25/11/2020 18:47

Sansa87 · 25/11/2020 19:12

@SimplyAmy1 I’m no expert, but I don’t think that guarantees ovulation, just indicates your body is about to. I think I read there’s no absolute certain way to see if ovulation has happened unless you temp, but I’m not sure if that is 100% tbh.

SimplyAmy1 · 25/11/2020 23:34

Hey girls!

I called 111 and I’m currently sat in a and e! Waiting for a blood result, already had an ultra sound and my uterus was larger than normal! 🤨

@SimplyAmy1 hope everything's okay ❤️

@SimplyAmy1 sending lots of love

SimplyAmy1 · 26/11/2020 08:09

Thankyou @Sansa87 and @Ginini 💕♥️

They don’t know what was wrong but I think they’re referring me for a vaginal ultrasound....apparently they’re more sensitive than a normal one but I woke up just now and there was a little
But of blood, but nothing like period blood (tmi sorry!) so I don’t know what that is now either! 😩😩😩 xxxx

sociallydistained · 26/11/2020 09:33

@SimplyAmy1 Poor you! I hope everything works out okay. Be good if you were pregnant and just not showing up on tests (I've watched enough YouTube stories to know it does happen). Let us know how you get on x

SimplyAmy1 · 26/11/2020 13:36

Thankyou! @sociallydistained I’ll update when I know more xxxx

Mrsmummy90 · 26/11/2020 17:28

Just rtft and hope you're ok and fingers crossed it's not ectopic with the shoulder pain.
I didn't test positive with dd2 until af was 2 weeks late. I'm keeping everything crossed for you xx

Ginini · 26/11/2020 19:00

@Mrsmummy90 can I ask if before you tested positive did you have any symptoms?

Mrsmummy90 · 26/11/2020 19:07

My taste had changed and I had loads of CM. I kept thinking af had arrived xx

Ginini · 26/11/2020 19:31

@Mrsmummy90 thank you! You've given us a bit of hope
Did you have lots of negative tests before your BFP?

sociallydistained · 26/11/2020 20:01

@Mrsmummy90

My taste had changed and I had loads of CM. I kept thinking af had arrived xx
I have loads of CM so this is some hope. How often did you test before your BFP?
Mrsmummy90 · 26/11/2020 23:24

I had loads of CM with both DC. Apparently it's your cervix keeping bacteria away from the womb to protect the baby. I don't know if that's true but it's what I read so it's very common in early pregnancy.

I had done 2-3 (can't quite remember now) tests and had BFNs. AF was late so I assumed that if I was pregnant, I'd have a blazing BFP like I did with DD1.
Had a drink with DH and even though it was usually my favourite, it tasted vile and I couldn't figure out why.

AF was nearly 2 weeks late and I thought I'd do another test before contacting the GP and I had a BFP. Tried a digital later that day and it said 1-2 weeks.
