25 DPO negative test ???

[Sar45]

Hi all...
Very new to this !!

Wondering if anyone can help ? I'm currently in a state of confusion!
First month TTC. We know that I ovulated on/around 7th May. Fully expected AF to show up as normal with it only being the first month trying!

13 DPO and had a small amount of brown spotting for 2 days followed by 2 days light pink. No actual flow so can safely say that it wasn't AF.

Now currently 25 DPO and still no AF and have tested every 4/5 days and pregnancy tests are all negative !!

I have several pregnancy symptoms, very obviously bloated, nausea, headaches and stretching sensation around my uterus, I also feel 'different' almost exactly how I felt when I had my DD almost 10 years ago !!

I have spoken to the doctor who have now given me vitamin D tablets to take and have said to me to keep testing as I am and if I miss next AF to go in for a blood test.

Hoping someone can reassure me this is normal!! Everything was very regular before we started TTC!!
At the moment it's really confusing and we obviously want to keep trying but have no idea where we are in the cycle or if we are indeed pregnant!!

How do you track your ovulation? I'd suspect you're experiencing an anovulatory cycle, which can happen and is nothing to worry about. Because even a positive opk doesn't mean you actually ovulated; it's just showing your body is gearing up for ovulation.

Yes, unfortunately there's no way to actually KNOW for sure you ovulated. So I would guess anovulation this cycle.

When you say just started TTC, did you recently come off hormonal contraception?

Thank you for your replies !
Currently tracking with OPK, not had a positive one since early May.

I have been off of contraception for just over a year.

Just going to wait and see what happens over the next 2 weeks !

Hi how did you get on? I'm 30dpo and no sign of a clear positive c
