AF 5 days late BFN

125 replies

beehivettcbaby1 · 15/11/2021 11:48

Hi everyone!

As the title suggests I'm 5 days late which isn't normal for me. I've had a 28 day cycle for the last 5 cycles. I have had many chemical pregnancies before.

All tests are BFN however I realised the tests at 25mmols.

I'm really lost and confused. I do have a few symptoms such as being super hungry and crampy and watery CM (TMI)

After 4 years of trying this is really stressing me out lol 

I have been taking metformin, folic acid, choline inositol and l carnitine but started these all mid cycle.

All tests are BFN however I realised the tests at
Any advice please? Any success story's?

[quote mumsie01]@Eden1319 Yes I have that feeling too! Not very often but when I do I think I've come on. Thanks for details I appreciate it 😂 I had mid cycle spotting this cycle which I've never had before and don't know why so I don't really know where I'm at with my cycle which is really stressing me it. At this point I just want to come on so I can try again! [/quote]
I had this too about a week ago. Am so confused! Either way it's a baby or a period right? 🤞🏻🤣

@beehivettcbaby1 you had mid cycle spotting? Any idea what yours could of been? I can only think of ovulation spotting but it wouldn't explain why I'm late and negative test. Fingers crossed it's a baby! Grin

beehivettcbaby1 · 15/11/2021 17:30

@mumsie01
I have no idea as I don't track because I was becoming so obsessed with it. I've been TTC for 4 years now and honestly I've really had enough now. I just don't understand how I can be 5 days late and have a BFN even with an early detection test? It detects 10mmol? If I haven't come on by Thursday im going to call my dr. X

@beehivettcbaby1 have you ever had it before? Are your cycles normally regular.?Def worth a phone call, I hope it turns out to be a bfp for you. The first response tests detect 6.5mmol I think so could be worth trying one of those

Am normally 28-31ish days. I do have PCOS but I've never had a cycle like this before. I've lost weight but not a massive amount. I'm going to wait a few more days and just relax. Wishing you all the best xx

Hey @beehivettcbaby1 I just wanted to comment as I am in a similar situation. We have been trying for three years plus now. I have been having cramping for a couple of weeks now but not like af cramps much milder. Sore boobs, waves of nausea and constantly feel like af has arrived but nothing there. I hope we all get some answers soon. I would also be around 5 and half weeks now xx

Hi lovely.

How late are you? Are you late? Still nothing for me 😔 x

Hi, sorry to jump on here but I'm in a similar situation. AF is 11 days late, CD41 and I'm usually regular 28-31 days. All tests are negative. I do feel crampy like AF is gonna show but she just doesn't. I'm worried that there is something wrong because I'm obviously not pregnant! It's so frustrating because I don't feel like I can keep TTC until AF arrives!

How is everyone coping? Has anyone missed a period but still gotten pregnant the next month?

Eden1319 · 16/11/2021 08:31

After my vvvfl on a Sainsburys test yesterday, I went out and bought FRER from boots.
Totally negative this morning 🥺

8 days late, still have the same symptoms, adding in a killer headache but that’s probably tension. My tummy still feels like it’s full of concrete, but not a sniff of AF.

No call back yesterday from my Gynae, he probably thinks it’s too soon, and he’s really busy.

This is torture. 🥺

mummyjojo19 · 16/11/2021 08:34

@beehivettcbaby1 I am a week late now have woke up this morning feeling like I am going to be really sick but I'm not testing for a few more days. Have you tested today? Xx

I'm not sure why people rave about FRER I have never ever got on with them. I always get an indent with them. Try a clear blue digital early response? No lines just words lol.. I hope they are the words you want ❤️ if I could give you all a huge hug right now I would. X

Oh please do join! Okay well period symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are pretty much the same 😃

Have you tested? How late are you? X

@HRHXO

I'm so sorry lovely I didn't read your post properly. My head is certainly scrambled this morning 😔 11 days.. wow... hats off to you because that's a bloody long time!

Do you track ovulation?

I'm crampy as well but before AF I normally get super painful boobs but nothing.

Well BD is good to bring on AF I believe?

Have you called the dr? I'm praying you get a BFP asap.

Lol talking about coping.. I'm going nuts! Some people don't get a positive till they are 7-8 weeks pregnant.

You aren't out till AF raises her ugly head!!! Sending so many hugs your way and a tonne of baby dust xxxxx

Tinkerbell098 · 16/11/2021 09:15

@beehivettcbaby1 I know people who didn't get a BFP until 10 days past AF due date. Not everyone's the same. You showing symptoms is a very good sign. All the best to you xx

Hi lovely. Yes me too. I would be 6 weeks pregnant today. Hang in for another week and If still no AF or BFP then speak to GP. What tests are you using? Xx

mummyjojo19 · 16/11/2021 10:02

I've just used cheap ones as don't want to waste money until there is site of a line I had one positive tests about 2 weeks ago but it was only faint and all since have been negative so I'll hold off and try testing in a few days if af still hasn't arrived by this time next week I'll make an appointment with the doc for some advise xx

Sar33 · 16/11/2021 12:23

Just to give you ladies ttc some hope. I had a private drs appointment last night and explained my situation. They said that somes it takes longer than normal for a positive to show on a test. They advised me to take a pregnancy test every 4 days.

Today I am 11 days late, this morning I had light bleeding so I put a tampon in thinking it was my period. Went to change the tampon and it was dry. No idea what is going on for me. But I feel very odd today, and now have a headache.

Eden1319 · 16/11/2021 13:26

Did your Dr offer a scan or a Blood test or anything concrete to give you hope? Just seems so unnecessary this stress, like a cruel trick, pulling us all, one way, then another, then the other way again.

beehivettcbaby1 · 17/11/2021 10:15

Any update anyone?

OP posts:
Eden1319 · 17/11/2021 10:35

My Gynae called this morning and has said to drop a FMU sample into my GP for testing, and booked me into an early pregnancy clinic for a scan Mon 29th.

I did another a strip test this morning, still negative but my husband thinks he sees a vvvfl. I am driving myself insane 😢🙈

How are you doing?

AF 5 days late BFN
Tinkerbell098 · 17/11/2021 10:37

@Eden1319 that's good news about the scan being booked. I think I can see a very faint line too. Good luck to you xx
