One missed period, worried about what this means for fertility

CD43 and no period.

Usually my cycles are 30 or 31 days, 5 days long and medium flow. Never any indication anything is amiss. I had all the correct signs of ovulation (EWCM etc) around day 14-16, so was expecting my period when I’d usually get it. It didn’t show and still hasn’t nearly two weeks later.

Negative pregnancy test on CD32 and negative again today on CD43. I haven’t changed diet, lifestyle, and haven’t been particularly stressed

I am really (probably irrationally) worried about this. The background is that I had a very early medical abortion previously due to circumstances at the time after a contraception failure, and now we’re hoping to TTC from October. Although we conceived immediately then and by accident - fairly recently too, won’t say when as possibly outing but think in the last two years - I am now petrified in some kind of strange ‘karma’ that we will have a difficult TTC journey and that I passed up on a chance that was given to me. I’ve always longed to be a mummy & want the most perfect conditions and life for our child and I’m getting way ahead of myself and have internet diagnosed myself with PCOS or worse.

Please can someone pop their story below, particularly if you had any irregularities to your cycle. Am I worrying for nothing?

thank you x

I'm sorry your going through the stress time..its really is tough, this ttc lark. Try not to worry and overthink as this can effect your cycle.
I had a cycle where I didn't get a period for 2 months took many many tests convinced I were pregnant, all came bCk neg 😐 went to the Dr who booked me in for a ultrasound to see what was going on and they found I was infact pregnant but couldn't find heartbeat, It ended with a loss.
I'm not saying this to scare as the Dr was saying many things can be a factor, including stress, cysts, hormones fluctuations.
Have you thought about taking some premom vitamins? They help prepare for pregnancy even before baby is made.
Hope all is well for you..maybe make an appointment with your gp xx
