AF late... BFN (tmi symptoms)

[Sesamechick]

Morning all
Just some advice please.
Ovulation I believe was either June 8th or 10th. DTD 7th and 9th.
AF due either 23rd/24th. Been taking tests and all BFN.

Sorry for TMI... I don't know if these are symptoms but been having the most horrendous dull cramps, headaches, my nose has been running like clear water. I have white clear sticky CM. I've also had very bad gas which would put alot of men to shame 🤣 normally before AF I get one big pimple and haven't now (yet?)

I've used cheapie tests and Tesco ones and all BFN. I did FMU today and BFN.

Worth using a FRER or could it just be AF late?

Any advice? Thanks x

Did you to opk so know you definitely ovulated then?

Hi @allgoodthings84
Normally I do but I didn't as much this month although I had all symptoms (increased CM etc)

@allgoodthings84 Yesterday when I tested there was a second line but showed up after the expected time frame 🤷🏻

@Sesamechick without knowing when ovulation was it’s hard to say how many dpo but if you ovulated 8th or 10th that puts you at 15 or 17dpo so would expect a positive in a normal test but everyone is different so definitely worth a frer and sometimes people don’t get a until a bit later but isn’t common I don’t think.

last cycle I weirdly ovulated 5/6 days later and AF arrived 5/6 days later.

it could be either way. Hopefully you get your bfp 🤞

@Sesamechick definitely keep testing then and try a frer 😊

@allgoodthings84 that is a strange cycle! Like we don't have enough to worry about without our cycle being unpredictable!

Good luck on your baby journey!

I'll buy a FRER (or 2 or 3, maybe 4...) today. Will prob test daily now until either a BFP (hopefully!!) Or AF shows (hopefully not!!) Thanks for your help x

Keep us updated! I’m really hoping it’s a bfp for you!

@allgoodthings84 thanks, will do!
Good luck on your baby journey xxx

@Sesamechick thank you

Tested this morning with FMU. They didn't have FRER so purchased CB 6 days early and cheap sticks. Huge BFN. I don't understand why AF is late. Sorry for TMI, but yesterday I noticed my Montgomery Glands are huge. Its so weird looking. Never seen them like this before. I have one more CB 6 days early so I'll try tomorrow morning again. So frustrating.
How are you doing? X

I would definitely try to get hold of a frer in next few days if possible. When I was 5 days late last month it was because I ovulated 5 days late.

my body is confusing me in a different way and only since we started ttc it’s like we know our bodies then start ttc and it throws a curveball at us

Hey everyone, hope you are all ok. Did you test again on a FRER? @Sesamechick

So frustrating being late and not knowing. I’m currently 10 days late but think I’ve ovulated late in my cycle. So frustrating not knowing either way x

@Rainbowbub
It's the most frustrating thing ever!!

I ended up getting my period exactly 2 weeks late. It's so messed up and messes with your head!! I am now currently in my next cycles TWW.

I hope you get your answer soon. Lots of baby dust to you xxx
