5 days late. No sign of AF & BFN

Hi Guys, thought I’d start a thread on here. I’ve currently been trying to conceive baby #2 for the past 6 months.
In my previously pregnancy with my first I experienced very vivid, and random dreams that I’d wake up and remember so realistically. The past few nights I’ve been having those dreams again and it instantly brought me back to being pregnant, they were so alike.
Im currently 5 days past AF bring due, not really feeling pregnant ie sore boobs etc and I’m getting negative tests. Has anyone had BFP a week after AF bring due? I’m out of hope. I’m accepting maybe I’m out this month but where is my period?

I’ve been reading loads this morning as I have a post about up regarding something similar & it is possible. I had a positive test yesterday & have took 3 more since & been negative so I don’t know what’s happening

I had this last cycle and unfortunately I’d just ovulated late I think. I’d never been late in my life apart from when being pregnant with DS. I was a full 7 days late in the end. Hopefully that’s not the case for you and you get a BFP but I just thought I’d share as I was driving myself mad.

Do you track ovulation?

TTCBABY2021 · 31/08/2021 13:25

Yes I do track ovulation, I ovulated on cycle day 18 which was the 18th August I believe. I'm never this late. I did have my Covid vaccine this month so maybe that's what delayed it.
I'm hoping I do get a BFP seen a lot of hopeful threads this morning so fingers crossed.
It's the dreams that has thrown me off that's what's got me thinking, they're so alike to when I was pregnant previously x

Ah yes may be the covid vaccine although I read somewhere that normally delays ovulation but who knows 🤷‍♀️
Yes, the weird dreams were my first pregnancy symptom !

Bundaberg84 · 31/08/2021 13:50

If you ovulated August 18th that would put you at 13dpo now? Do you have a short luteal phase normally?

TTCBABY2021 · 31/08/2021 14:12

Sorry I just went back and checked and it was Aug 13th I ovulated cycle day 18 x

Has anyone got their BFP week after AF?

It's comforting to know other are in the same bit, hopefully we all figure out what's going on

TTCBABY2021 · 31/08/2021 15:04

I just want to accept I'm not pregnant, AF to come so I can start a new cycle and try again

Unt0ld · 31/08/2021 15:07

You and me both, it's horrible being in this limbo state, I'm sorry you're going through this!

talkingtoclarry · 31/08/2021 15:08

I’m in a similar boat. TTC #2, AF was due 28th and no sign of her and tests were all BFN. I don’t track ovulation though so no idea on whether I actually did or not this month, though I had loads of tightening, pulling feelings in my lower abdomen and my boobs felt all weird and uncomfortable. around the time I should have ovulated.
Just want AF to arrive so I can plan the next go!

Bundaberg84 · 31/08/2021 15:16

A good friend only tested positive three days after AF was due, but she didn't use an early detection. By 16dpo you should get a positve. I don't think implantation happens later than 14dpo.

talkingtoclarry · 31/08/2021 15:22

Actually due 23rd, not sure where 28th came from!

TTCBABY2021 · 31/08/2021 15:23

Aw I'm sending baby dust to you all! Keep me updated in this thread. I'm going to test again tomorrow x

Having really sharp twinges down below tonight in the pelvic area. Hoping it's early pregnancy pains and not AF

I took a test this morning with my first urine (different test this time) and completely negative, test is stark white. I'm very disappointed in easy@home in indent lines on them are shocking and they give you false home. I know I'm out now I'm 5/6 days late from AF so it would be showing on test by now. Just want AF to arrive now :(

Sorry to hear this, ttc is brutal. The hope every month and the disappointment. Best of luck and hope you get your bfp soon

Pesimistic · 01/09/2021 17:28

I'm 4 days late, had symptoms of af arriving last week, which have all gone. I'm getting twinges now and again on my right side, had all the symptoms of ovulation around 14-20th all internet cheapie tests negative, got a brand test coming tomorrow as ivw read Internet ones aren't that reliable, so we will see but I've only every missed a period once when I was about 20 (ten years ago) when I was most definitely not pregnant !

Unt0ld · 01/09/2021 17:42

I'm the same, clear negative this morning, just wish af would show up and these feelings would go away. I haven't even been trying to conceive but the faint positives I had gave me false hope I was pregnant and all this is torture really, dont know how women can go through this every month.

5 days late. No sign of AF & BFN
TTCBABY2021 · 01/09/2021 17:57

That's the test I used this morning. Asda?
Still no sign of AF I'm never this late, and I don't even feel like AF is coming. Wish it would come soon so I can start a fresh cycle and try again. Keep me updated x
