Hi

Sorry you're having a tough time. I had this once - it was the month after I had been through a super stressful time and I think I just didn't ovulate. However I had loads of signs and symptoms which kept me guessing. I think AF eventually showed up around cycle day 49 and it was bright red, more like a withdrawal bleed from the pill. Thankfully, the month after everything normalised again. I got my BFP 4 cycles later.

Have you had lots of stress or anything else going on that might have affected you? Hope you get some clarity soon.

Hi , try not to over think things or worry . I've been randomly late on my period before by nearly 2 weeks and I took wondered what was going on. Think it maybe had something to do with the pill I had came off even tho I had already had a period after that. Sometimes stress can make your have af late to. Hang in there ❤️

Yeah I had a the smallest blood yesterday when wiped like a little line now nothing again. It’s so weird. Feel so gutted and disappointed this morning. Feel like it’s never gonna happen for me and my SO. X

@BraveHeart91 ah try not to be too downhearted so soon! I think you said this is your first month TTC? It's very rare to get pregnant on the first try. You might need to adjust your expectations a little bit and focus on getting your mind and body as strong and healthy as possible. Are you taking vitamins/folic acid etc? Hopefully AF will appear for you soon and then you can reset for your next cycle. Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon 😊

Kindly, you’re being ridiculous. It’s been one month!

You will almost definitely have it happen before too long, try and enjoy the process as much as you can! :)

I got on really well with OPKs - I caught the month I used them (month 3 of trying).

Have you started supplements? That can sometimes mess with your cycle a bit while
you get used to them.

Good luck!

Maybe I'm a terrible person but I'm always so triggered by posters crying about TTC for a month and not having a BFP.
I understand you want a baby but there are people out there that spend thousands of pounds and years of trying just to have a negative. Who want babies just as much as you.
Bloody hell.

Okay so I'm not the only one but you definitely had a much nicer way of putting it!

@Potatopancake you are not a terrible person! You've said what I was thinking too. I tempered my initial response... having recently had a MMC it puts things into perspective too.

OP you are highly likely to be pregnant within 6 months. As @Mushroo said, try to enjoy the process!

Potatopancake · 26/05/2023 15:52

@SnookyPook so sorry for your loss ❤️
I have had miscarriages too (including MMC). It's just the worst. Take care of yourself.

Same. I'm guessing you're really young if you've not known anyone who has tried for years, done multiple rounds of IVF, had miscarriages or stillbirths.

Good luck op.
