AF 7 days late, cramps and sore but BFN??

[Kayleaaa]

Hey all,
Getting really upset and frustrated at this point!!
AF was due (at the latest, irregular-ish cycles) 7 days ago.
7 days ago I started having cramps, nausea, sore boobs and fatigue. I've had that every day since then, with cramps so bad that I run to the toilet constantly because it feels EXACTLY like I'm about to start AF, but nothing! Just CM.
BFN every day since then, spent a small fortune on FRER's!
Has anyone had this before and a BFP?
I would just think maybe I've skipped AF this month, but last year I was pregnant (lost at 6 weeks) and I had these exact symptoms, but I hadn't tested until 8 days past AF usual date.
I can't find threads where people have had these symptoms really strongly but still BFN's :(

Hey,
I'm in the same boat as you, af due 9 days ago and only had BFNs really start to upset me now as if I'm not pregnant I would just like af to come

It really is frustrating!
Have you had any symptoms?
I just had another BFN but nothing else can explain my symptoms, I doubt it would be a cyst as it's just mild cramping, usually my AF is so painful that I can't move so I imagine a cyst would be similar.

I was literally about to start a similar post! I'm on cd30 so due anytime but my cycles have been more around the 28 day mark on fertility medication (Letrozole & Clomid) but I spot for 5 days normally before AF so technically would have been doing something by now! I had a scan on cd21 as I had bad pain and bloating as I'm on Clomid and had 5 haemorrhagic cysts which means I released 5 eggs apparently (so 5 x the chance of getting pregnant)! Since Monday I can't go a full nights sleep without waking up to pee which is so unlike me and I keep burping loads which is again unlike me. All I'm getting is BFN and today lots of CM again. I just don't know what is going on and it's driving me crazy! I asked my fertility nurse if I could have a HCG blood test done but they won't do that without a positive test 🙄 so fed up

@Crazydoglady123 I have the burping and waking up to pee too! I can barely do a long hold for testing atm!
Ugh that sucks! Considering you've had issues before, you'd think they'd be fine to do a blood test!
I'm on cd41 but AF usually comes between cd31 and cd35 at the latest.
I have no idea what to do, my doctors are still only doing over the phone calls due to covid and I'm worried she'd just say to wait longer before it's seen as an issue.

@Kayleaaa you sound so similar to me at the min! I tried to argue that could I be pregnant with an ectopic as my cysts had ruptured and so I had so much free fluid in my pelvis I wondered if it could have stopped the eggs moving into my uterus but they just said they can't do a HCG test. With everything I've had the last couple of weeks I just don't know what's causing what 😔

@Crazydoglady123 that sounds awful! I don't know too much about cysts, have the doctors said it could make your cycle off?
I've been wondering if it's a chemical pregnancy I'm having, but I think it would have shown up on the tests a little bit by now to then go blank again.
I've taken cheapie strips (just bought another 60...), first response, clearblue and sainsburys own.
I did see 2 faint lines on the sainsburys own on Sunday but it was way after the time so was evap (obviously convinced myself it was the real thing).

I totally feel for you! I know for myself it's totally messing my head up. How long have you been TTC? I'm waiting for another scan but can't book until the first day of my cycle. Just wish it'd either hurry up or I get a positive test!!! The nurse couldn't really say if it's the cysts or not and no one on here seems to have much experience of haemorraghic cysts. All she said to do is keep testing every few days and if nothing by next Thursday to call them back. In the mean time 🤯...

@Crazydoglady123 Started TTC in December 2017, pregnant and loss February/March 2020 (just before covid lockdown, ugh!), then went on pill until July to give my body some recovery. So only steadily 7ish months but in total over 3 years!! In 3 years the only time I've had these symptoms was my pregnancy last year, so I'm going crazy!! How about yourself?

Oh I know, I don't even mind AF because it means I can try again. Right now it's complete limbo!

I really feel for you, it must be extra frustrating putting cysts into the mix.

Absolute fingers crossed something happens for you soon and keep me updated. I've been googling like crazy about what it could be but none of it fits.

@Kayleaaa that sounds like such a hard journey you've been on and I'm sorry about your MC.

I do actually have a child (9yo) but this is my OH's first. I got pregnant so easy before but now is a very different story. We've been TTC since Jan 2019. Had all the tests, Hycosy etc. We have made the decision that is this hasn't worked this time, once I've had my scan with my NHS consultant to check the cyst situation out then we're going to pay for private IVF.

Never wanted AF or that pink line so much atm 😂 Yeah like you, this is new although when I was very early pregnancy before I had the same needing to wee but I just don't want to get my hopes up as I don't think I am as surely I'd have had a positive test by now. My last cycle I started spotting at 21 days and AF came properly at cd27. I too have been googling crazy 😬

Can I join yous. I'm currently 5dpo and have cramping and generally feel bloated. Will not test untill next week.

I've had heartburn and constant need to pee but all test have been negative. Really frustrating isn't it x

@Crazydoglady123 I've never thought about IVF! The most my doctors have done is a scan to check my ovaries look normal and blood tests to check I ovulate (all turned up negative because they would only check day 21).
Oh gosh I know!! I keep thinking it must have showed up by now on a test unless it's the latest ovulation ever! I haven't tracked the past year because it was stressing me out so much.

@dollygoo cramping could be a good sign! Although I've had it for 9 days with no luck, hopefully you'll be the lucky one!

@user1493721527 that really is frustrating! I hope something happens for you but I'm also a bit relieved that it isn't just me, I was worried I was alone with limbo.

@Kayleaaa I don't track ovulation either.

@user1493721527 I had heartburn Monday/Tuesday too!

It awful isn't it, mines worse when I'm in bed, but I've been testing every other and all negative, period is 9 days late so unsure what's going on x

I'm the same I'm 4 days late, sore back, mild cramps and no AF. I'm never late and all tests are negative. So annoying!

Any news ladies? Still no sign for me

My period is now 12 days late, done a test this morning negative, but no sign of af

@user1493721527 it's so weird isn't it! I can't decide whether to test tomorrow or not 😐

AF showed up yesterday night, insanely painful and mostly clots just like my MC, so thinking maybe it was a chemical.
Fingers crossed for the rest of you ladies!!
This has definitely taught me how much I want to be pregnant, I'm gonna take this month seriously!

Sorry to hear @Kayleaaa

I'm CD34 now, 4 days late according to my app although my cycles have been around 28 days since I've been on Letrozole and Clomid. Tested this morn with FRER and Easy@Home strip and both BFN. So fed up now 😩🤯

I'm out AF came with avengence on Saturday

Still no sign of af for me, and another BFN this morning, really want to no what's going on

In the same boat and it's so annoying. On cd37 (average cycle is34 days), no AF and negative tests ! Just want something to happen either way, not sure when to test again but might try and hold out a few more days. So frustrating isn't it !

It is frustrating it really is, I'm going to try hold of until the weekend now x

I think I'm going to book a private scan this week. I can't see the point in testing this week anymore either
