Hi all,
Im so confused as to what on earth my body is doing and looking for some words of wisdom please to stop me losing my mind.
I had a miscarriage in June and we are now trying for our Rainbow. My periods have been fairly regular since the miscarriage, they started back up in August and my average cycle length is 30 days.
Now I don't get along well with ovulation tests, between what I think was a bad batch and not quite finding a definite peak I've not been able to definitively say what my ovulation day is in my cycle, but I know it must be between day 14 and day 16 as that was when I fell on previously and my ovulation tests are somewhat darker around this time too. ( although none are as dark as or darker than test line )
Which brings us to now - we had a slow month with both of us being ill, and only managed the BD once this month in our "window", on day 16 of my cycle. Thinking nothing would come of it I carried on as normal but on day 28 of my cycle ( which coincidentally was the 28th of Jan) I had some spotting ( Very light pink blood) when I went to the bathroom and wiped.
I thought initially I was coming on early because my period was due on the 31st, but then my period didn't come at all. So I hopefully thought maybe it was implantation bleeding? So I waited until my period was 4 days late and with everything crossed took a pregnancy test - only to get a BFN!
Now 3 days later ( 6 days late ) I still have no period, not even spotting, I've had some mild cramps over the past week or so, and now my boobs are swollen and starting to get a bit tender - am I fooling myself into thinking I could still be pregnant?
Or is there no chance since I already got a negative result? I am planning on taking another test but my husband wants to wait a few more days - I guess I just want to know whether to bother getting my hopes up or not??? 🙈
