6 days in and all negative tests

[GeenyWeeny]

Hi ladies, I'm pulling my hair out with this situation and need some opinions.

Fairly new to trying to conceive. Only had sex once this month but according to my Flo app it was the most fertile day.

My normal cycle is 27-31 days long. Flo based my expected period to start last Wednesday, which would have been a 31 day cycle. I am not six days late. All tests definitely negative.

I am 36, slim, bmi is 20.7. No current stress. No issues like PCOS. I do exercise regularly but not stupid amount. I weight train. Size 8-10. Never had a late period.

I've noticed I am weeing more at night and I'm slightly more tired. Going to bed earlier and a bit less energy at the gym. Slight break out of spots but that's it. Discharge is watery with a little white streaking. No blood, no other colour. I did have a short burst of cramping on Friday eve. I thought ah period on way but nothing.

What is happening?!! I've booked a blood test but it's not until Friday.

I've read that my hcg levels might just be low. But I struggle to find out much more. If I had late periods before I'd not feel so confused?

Sometimes your period can skip a month for no reason. Or you ovulated later then your normally would which would make your period late.

From my personal experience l took PG test, 6 days after my period was late and got my BFP. I believe that you would get a positive especially if it's been 6 days.

So it may be either skipping a month or late ovulation

@BritishDesiGirl there's no such thing as skipping a period - it's either late ovulation or an annovulatory cycle, which can obviously also make a long cycle.

I was nearly 8 days late when I got my BFPwith my last baby and currently 5 days late and only just getting faint lines.

My doctor told me this morning that some women don’t pass high enough levels of HCG in their urine so home pregnancy tests don’t work as well. I’m booked in to have bloods taken but got a vvvfl this evening on a HPT. With my last pregnancy I had to have bloods to check and got my BFP that way. All my dates matched up and baby was healthy etc.

This is what I'm hoping for as this is so out of the ordinary.
My boobs are slightly tender today. Obviously it could be a sign of period starting so we'll see what happens.
I know when I ovulate as my discharge always alters to egg white and I get more frisky. So I don't THINK it was later in my cycle.
Perhaps it's my weight. I have now cut out alcohol which I did about two weeks ago. I've not lost any more weight on the scales but who knows.
Will update when I know more but would love to hear more late result stories as I'm really hoping it's positive 😍

I'm in a similar position. Usually regular periods. Currently on cd 35 and all tests stark negative so I'm 99% sure not pregnant but I just want my period to start! I read about folic acid extending cycles so that could be it?

I am in exactly the same position! Cycles usually like clockwork, 30-31 days. Currently day 35. DTD a few times around ovulation and had really obvious EWCM as well (although forgot to do ovulation test). I have had 35 days cycles maybe twice in last two years so it could just be a long cycle, but the EWCM was CD17. If I ovulated late and am somehow pregnant but sperm managed to live for 4 days, I would be 14DPO - so I guess not unheard of to be testing negative still?

I’m also cramping but the cramps are weird, keep moving from side to side and are more kind of sharp and pulley than usual period ache.

However, probably just symptom spotting!

I did take that conception vitamin daily for two months around 6 months ago and it made my cycle 38 days long so I stopped, this month I’ve had folic acid supplement maybe 3 times? Maybe that’s enough to have caused delayed period…

Anyway no advice just, I feel ya! Keep us updated and I hope you get your BFP!

Thank god I'm not the only one. 8 days late now and still no sign. Only symptoms are very grumpy yesterday instead of the happiness I've been feeling and boobs are tender on and off. Also left nipple slightly larger lol. God knows what's going on.

Me too I’ve been so happy and now very grumpy. Either PMS or just fed up with the not knowing 🤣

Still nothing. Now 9 days late. I’ve had blood test today. They had to try three times ax couldn’t find a vein. I’m constipated today which is usual for me as I have ibs-d. And I’ve had very light brown discharge which started this morning, but no actual period yet.

Just an update - period arrived 10 days late. Just as I was having my blood test lol.

Quite relieved in the end as was worried something was wrong.
