AF is late!! Help

Me and hubby are trying TTC #1. My cycles normally range from 24-26 days, and have done for the 6/7 months I've been off the pill.

I normally ovulate quiet late at about day 19 (I know that's really short) but this month I am now on CD30, AF is late, I'm getting every pregnancy symptom under the sun but still testing negative.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Could it be my cycles still regulating? Could I be pregnant?

It can usually take around 6 months or so for periods to regulate after coming off the pill.

Are you taking any pregnancy vitamins? When I was first ttc I took pregnacare which massively mucked up my periods and were not great.

If you are late and having negative tests then I’d assume you’re not pregnant. Pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms are actually very similar. I feel like I only noticed this when j was ttc and would question every sensation or feeling.

🤞 you get your bfp soon!

I'm in the same boat OP except not actively TTC (but wouldn't be unhappy to fall pregnant). I'm well over a week late after 3 very regular cycles so very strange! But like you testing negative. Assuming something is just out of whack with my body and waiting for AF but it is confusing so I feel for you!! Hope you get your BFP soon x

Hi @tobi21!
So I started spotting late last night / this morning, it's still going. But, got a BFP this morning on a clear blue early detection so praying it's implantation bleeding!

Hope you're doing okay xx

Hello!
Been TTC baby number 2 for over three years.
I’m now on cycle day 49, have never been this late before usually between 28 and around 36. I’ve had backache for a week but no period. I have done a pregnancy test but came negative. Should I keep testing? Or would it have shown as positive by now?

thank you

Hey @Belle97 congrats on you BFP🎉 I still haven't come on!! How late were you before you tested positive if you don't mind me asking? Wishing you well with your pregnancy Smile
