Day 41 Negative Test.

[missnessa84]

Morning everyone,

Trying for a baby for a year. Normal cycle 27-30 days now day 41, negative "not pregnant" result from a clear blue digital pregnancy test this morning.
Ugh...
Test again (could it be too early) or except it's a longer cycle? Longest I've had since I've tracked in 3 years.
Cramps for a week.
I'm 36 years old if that helps lol..

Thanks in advance x

@Sunnybeam I've increased cm. Do get an increase around AF time, but not like this.

@missnessa84 me too but I've been having it for the last week or so and it's abit different to what I have before af usually arrives, constantly feel 'wet' if that makes sense?

@Cjg14 yes that makes sense. However my cervix feels low, and soft. More confusing

@cjg14 sounds like me, although I only had cramping for 1 day which I assume was maybe ovulation.

I must have had implantation last night if it was as I suffered with some back ache but still think its too early to test yet.

@missnessa84 sounds promising to me, your cervix is meant to be soft during pregnancy although it can take a few weeks to start going soft too, but if its soft already then that could be a good sign.

@missnessa84 I don't know about the whole cervix thing, what do they say about it and how do you find out if you don't mind me asking?

Cjg14 you find out by feeling yourself, Google how to feel for you cervix and it should tell you step by step.

@Sunnybeam yes thought it would be 🤣 just wasn't sure what it all meant and how you know If you know what I mean but will have a look thanks 🙂

@Cjg14 The bf said it felt low.... haha although he is feeling very hopeful that I'm pregnant, so maybe not the most reliable source! I don't regularly check to it's position, it can explain pregnancy but not conclusive.

My cramps have gone, still feeling the need to wee often, day 43 now.

@missnessa84 definitely sounds good for you, I definitely feel more pregnant today, more discharge and im feeling very nauseous today, still no AF, cannot wait to take that test now on wednesday.

@cjg14 im really hoping its our month this month fornus all, have you checked your cervix?

No I haven't looked online about it yet but will do. Had cramps earlier and felt really wet so was sure it was af but after checking, no it wasn't which prompted me to do another opk and it was high again so am I trying to ovulate now? Who knows

I've felt a bit sick today at times, and the uti type feeling is there. Think better go to the doctor for that.
Do any of you think a uti could delay AF?

Its possible if you've missed your period and are on your next cycle, have you taken another test yet?

@missnessa84 hmmm, I dont think a uti can no, but you can be pregnant which can cause a uti. Thats what I've learnt through a lot of browsing, id say to definitely get it checked out because you don't want it spreading and definitely stick to the plan to test again mid week as like I said pregnancy can cause uti.

@Sunnybeam it's possible I've missed a cycle but almost unheard of with me. I will get it checked, starting to get a bit paranoid about stuff now, like maybe something medically wrong with me. Better stop looking at Doctor Google!!

Worst thing you can do is look at Google for symptoms because all kinds of things pop up, if I ever have a symptom I always write early pregnancy or possibly or ttc with it so that way its more specific, also if you write mumsnet after symptom checking you can then see older posts and see if people have experienced the same thing and the more people who have the more relieved youll feel.

My cervix is lower that it was the other day, I've only ever checked it twice. Is that a bad sign? I thought it should be going higher if pregnant??

I think I might have skipped a cycle and ovulated earlier this week without realising it as I was looking out for AF or BFP instead! Totally missed my window if so!

Its not necessarily whether its lower or higher, its to do with how soft or hard it is, yeah the cervix should be just out of reach but no one ever notices how much it changes during pregnancy with a bump in the way.

How far dpo are you? Have you taken any tests?

I'm 12 days late for my period, not sure when I ovulated as I wasn't tracking properly. I will definitely use opk next time!

I wasn't sure when I ovulated this month either but I did have cramping for one day and then back ache for 2 days after so gathered that could have been ovulation and I think I had implantation last night because I suffered with more back ache and been feeling nauseous today, it did stop earlier but its come back again 🤢 also feel exhausted, slight headache and hard boobs at the top which is something that happens only when im pg.
So now I'm thinking I maybe tested too early, maybe you have too, id say wait a bit longer and test again.
Im waiting until Wednesday to test as that's the earliest I can.

Also I definitely ov later this month so its definitely possible, ive never ov'd this late before.

I am 6 days late had positive opks for 2 days now

@mummy2219 have you dtd in these 2 days just incase? Also I'd definitely take a test, if it is ov then at least if you dtd you have a shot this time.

How is everyone getting on? Anything yet?
