Possibly pregnant?

[PeeOnAStickToday]

Please be kind! We've been ttc for 3.5 years. No luck. This month I had a tubal patency test(tubes flushed) and they were clear.
We dtd every other day around presumed ovulation(I'm not testing for that anymore, it makes me too sad and stressed)

Today I realised that my period was due today. I purposely don't think about it much anymore because I've had so many months of disappointment.

That's not super unusual for me, I can be anything from 27-31 days normally. Today is day 31.

I always have really really sore boobs for at least a week before my period starts. When I noticed the date i realised that I didn't have sore boobs at all this month.

I know I sound a bit stupid. I swear I'm not. I'm 37 and have a 5 year old and I just can't give it the headspace I used to. I've cried so many tears over negative tests and periods coming that I've just trained myself to block out the dates.
I can't get a test until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm probably not pregnant anyway.... just the boob thing has me wondering.... I'd
Love to hear some positive stories or similar experiences please!!

My DD took 5 years TTC and a round of IVF, 18 months after she was born and having made an appt for a baseline scan to start the ball rolling for a FET I took a pregnancy test as the baseline scan needed to be on a certain day of my cycle and my period being any later would mean I'd have to cancel the scan. I knew if I POAS chances are that within hours of doing it and getting the negative result my period would start. I nearly fell off the toilet when the test was positive and DS is currently sleeping next to me whilst using me as a dummy.
Good luck x

I can relate to the boob thing. Always had really sore boobs before a period. No sore boobs at all before BFP.

Boob thing is same with me! I always get sore boobs a few days before my period, but not when I'm pregnant. Boobs not being sore is my first sign Good luck, OP!

We've moved this to the Conception board for you, OP .

The first sign I was pregnant( with all three of my pregnancies )were no pms symptoms. I don’t feel pregnant until 6 weeks at the earliest.

@ClaraMumsnet thank you

Wow, thanks a mil, I'm actually really starting to wonder now, so lovely to read so many positive stories.

@ArtfulScreamer I can imagine the shock! Congratulations. Our 5 year old took 2 years and 7 months. We didn't try any intervention.
I kind of convinced myself the same thing would happen trying for number 2. When it didn't I went to the doctor, was on clomid for 6 months which made me crazy and then eventually kind of gave up.

I had surgery in the summer to have a large cyst removed from beside (but not on) my cervix and a hysteroscopy d&c and then the tubal patency test on day 4 of my current cycle.
Honestly I thought I had given up hoping but here I am again.
I'm afraid to test yet. In March 2020 I got to day 37 with no period. I was convinced this was it. Got up early and went to town for a test and by the time I got home I didn't need it. I was devastated and haven't bought a test since.

Fingers crossed for you OP. We tried for 7 years, not actively trying all that time but wasn't on birth control, did ivf 5 years ago which ended in miscarriage. We were talking about doing another round and decided to try naturally, 2 months later and at the age of 38 I got the shock of my life when I got a bfp! Strangely my boobs don't get sore when my period is coming and i never have sore nipples but I had those symptoms the month of the bfp but after 7 years you really don't expect to see a positive. Im 37 weeks pregnant now. Good luck, I hope this is your month

Fingers crossed for you OP 🤞🏻This journey is one of the hardest things. Really hope this is the one for you x

@Saoirse82 congratulations! That is amazing, all the boob stories really have me wondering. Mine absolutely kill me for a week before but nothing this month..
Thank you for the hope and kind words.

@mrsS21 thank you, it is one of the hardest journeys, It's difficult to discuss with people in real life too.

Really hoping this turned out positive for you.

What they said 👆🏼🤞🏼

Just realised I never updated. It wasn't our month.
Today is day 34 of my current cycle. I was going to go and buy a test later today but I think I'll just wait a little longer. Somehow the negative test feels worse than just finding my period has started.

How are things OP? Hope you’ve had some good news since your last post x

Hi @Passthewinebottle thanks for thinking of me. Still no joy but I'm kind of over it now. The longing seems to have worn off me. 4 years is a long time to hope and try and drive yourself mad. I think we're done trying...

Hey guys, I hope everyone is okay. I really need some advice and see if anyone has been through similar. Me and my partner have been TTC for around 4 months, this month I didn’t track my ovulation or anything so we didn’t put pressure on ourselves, I am now currently 13/14 days late on my period, I keep getting cramps over the past few weeks, bloated and very tired. I have taken a few test and some are very faintly positive, but some look pretty negative. Has anyone experienced being this late and not getting a positive for a very long time?

You should make your own post, don't hijack OPs

@Lacedwithgrace okay, how do I do that? Didn’t realise I couldn’t put a comment on someone else’s post

🙄 It's an old thread. She's not hijacking anything

@Hayleyemma it could be evap lines or possibly a chemical pregnancy. Could you ask your doctor to do a HCG blood test?

I’m booked in to get a ultra sound tomorrow, as they did say sometimes they don’t show up until later or sometimes not at all very rare but can happen. It’s defiantly not Evaporate lines as they appear pretty quick and have colour. It’s all confusing

These are my tests

Those tests look very negative to me. Lots of things can throw your period off there are about 8 million threads on this board with women discussing it.
