6 days late, not like the first time ! Any one else?

[caz1319]

Hi everyone!
So I am 6 days late! Had bad af cramps like usual and a lot of extra cf for m 4 days at time of af due! But nothing happened. I have done some test thought could see something faint at start but not convinced now as can’t see anything. Very unlike me to be late!
With my first, I tested day before af was due and there was a strong clear line instantly but did have several hyperemisis untill the min she was born.
Could I be pregnant this time, with it being so different! Going a little crazy!
Thank you for your time x

I'm out- period just started. Feels like a cruel joke to be a week late then nothing! Bloody TTC is doing my head in. I hope others have better luck than me.

Ohhh Pankhurst sorry to hear that. Hope you're okay. It is cruel, not only do we have the tww, we also have late periods thrown into the mix!

@PankhurstTastic I’m so sorry! Try and stay positive. Wish you all the luck for next month x

I'm sorry to hear that @PankhurstTastic. It really is unfair, I hope you have better luck soon

@caz1319 Wanting to sleep and wee all the time is a good sign too. I try to avoid the strip tests as I spend too much time trying to figure out if there's a faint line or if I'm just imagining it, hahah. I've found a pack of 3 clear blue on amazon for £10 so going to go for that next week I think. Hopefully you'll have good news by the end of the week!

@EagerToKnow I spend so much time trying to find some kind of line but i secretly like it 😂😂 ohh that’s good! Will have to purchase! Going to do a test tomorrow morning and then wait till next Monday! (Hopefully) hahah

Feeling extremely tired this afternoon and very sore belly ! Hubby making a roast so hopefully sort me out 🤗

@caz1319 It comes up as clear blue triple check, 2 line tests and one digital just to be certain, probably the best value clear blue I've seen so far. You can even get a bit of money off if you choose subscribe and save (then cancel the subscription as soon as the first one is dispatched, hahah) Enjoy your lovely roast, hopefully you can get plenty of rest. Fingers crossed for you tomorrow!

Negative frer this morning at 11 days late now 🤷‍♀️

@EagerToKnow haha good idea, I shall order one!

How is everyone feeling this morning? X

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 negative test for me too this morning!

What is going on!!!!

I don’t know! I’m not sure what to do now.

What’re you thinking?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I’m going to leave it till Monday (2 weeks late ) and if still nothing and no af I’ll ring the doctor and get a blood test.

I have really itchy boobs this morning!

Sounds good, I’ll leave mine another three days then, test again, and if nothing sort out a blood test

I am in the mind set that I’m not pregnant so would rather af just showed up so can get on with a new month!

Yes at 11 days late now, I’m of the same mindset, I can’t see how this could be pregnancy at this point. Maybe a hormone imbalance this month so something

But yes I feel I’m missing out on time to be trying. And it’s cruel also, to have us is this state of potential hope for the last week or two

It’s so cruel! And even worse that can’t even go to the pub for a night out to make it better 😂😂

@caz1319 @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I'm sorry to hear you're both still getting negatives, it really is so cruel. I hope you both get some answers soon

I've not tested today, I'm going to try and wait until Sunday as I'll be a week late then. I feel heavy in my stomach today, around where I'd normally feel AF cramps so not sure what to make of that

I'm throwing myself into planning a holiday hopefully I'll get to go on this time :)

I'll keep you guys updated on anything. Eager, fingers crossed for you!

@EagerToKnow I need your willpower , I can’t help but test 😂

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 ... that’s something to look forward to !

I have had the return to work call ☹️☹️

Hi ladies, I'm in the same boat - 7 days late, negative tests and some symptoms that aren't at all normal for me. I am booked in for blood test tomorrow but I'm fairly sure it'll be negative (also don't want to get hopes up). I feel exhausted after over 2 weeks of symptoms now and nothing happening it's driving me mad. I just can't believe my AF is so late on the first month we tried! That's a cruel coincidence if I'm not pregnant! Also just want it to come so next cycle can start again!

@gigchic welcome! Oh that is weird coincidence! Did you track when you ovulated, could you of ovulated later?

It’s so hard not to get hopes up! Was your doctor quite happy to do a blood test ?

Wishing you so much luck! Make sure to keep us updated x

Can I just ask, have any of you got extreme bloating? I've had that now for about 2 weeks, I'm walking around with my jeans undone or stretchy clothes. Any idea what this is or could be?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I’m not experiencing bloating , but then I hardly wear jeans so may not notice.

Do you usually bloat on af?

Hey, it was our first month of trying so we just dtd when I knew it was about the right time and waited to see if anything happened! I thought we were going to be super lucky as I had classic early symptoms but then negative tests day of missed AF, 2 days after and now 6 days after.
I used the Livi app that's advertised at my doctors surgery to speak to a GP on a video call at home and they said straight away let's just book a blood test to see what's going on. I'm 38 and have always had regular 23/24 day cycles and never symptoms before AF so GP seemed to agree it was odd. I'm just worried how I'm going to stay positive and get on with things if blood test also negative- mainly because I've got stomach ache all the time and yesterday started spotting a bit but it's not the start of AF as it stopped again! I feel like my body is broken . I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with similar stuff! I really hope ttc treats me better in the future as I can't cope with this every bloody month!! 😂 x

@gigchic its so annoying when our bodies do something random that it doesn't normally do! Its the waiting around not knowing that gets to me!!

@caz1319 I think maybe slightly, not to this extent, I can always wear clothes etc. I had this when I miscarried - big bloat from five weeks where I couldn't fit my clothes. I've just measured to see how different, I've gone from 27 inches to 32 inches. Wondering if its a hormone imbalance issue!! Or any of you suffering also

I mean I'm just feeling massively attractive 🤣🤣🤣 thankfully I'm not due back in work until April!
