Af late, bfn?

Since I’ve been using opks af has always arrived dot on 15dpo, I’m now 16dpo and nothing. This has never happened before.

I don’t usually have any symptoms leading up to af, maybe some mild cramping just before it starts. It usually then hits me like a train and I have severe cramping on cd1 which settles by cd2.

I’ve been cramping for days. Last night it was severe going round my back, through my hips and down my legs. Went to bed with pain killers and a hot water bottle, convinced it would start over night. Woke up and nothing. Still cramping today but not as bad.

I’ve done a million easy@home tests leading up to expected af all have been bfn. Tried a clear blue digital - 6 days early last night which was also bfn.

I know it is just going to have to be a waiting game for me but has any one ever had similar experience? What was the outcome?

Hi, yes I was late a couple months ago, very unusual for me but I did come on. But you may well be pregnant 💕
but if I were you I would not test until at least five days past due date. It just adds to the stress of it all when you keep testing.

Thank you, I’m expecting af to arrive any minute this is just so unusual for me. I’m not going to blow money on loads of tests, it would have shown up by now if it was positive. I tried the clear blue because I know the IC aren’t always reliable.

Chances are it's just a late period that will arrive any moment.

Hi, I'm 9dpo now had red spotting 4 days ago which I thought was a good sign still testing negative it's such a horrible feeling being in limbo, I have had this before and didn't test positive until 2 days after my missed period. But it could be your period late. Fingers crossed for you

Dan521 · 05/11/2023 18:48

@Amy7912 9dpo is really early, there’s still loads of time to get a bfp.

I had some cramping earlier in the day, felt like af was here. Cramping has stopped now and still no sign of af.

I had red spotting 4 days ago so I thought by now I would have had a bfp, and I'm also starting with brown discharge which is a sign of AF for me. Have you tried with any other brands of test?

Dan521 · 05/11/2023 22:01

Aw hope you get your bfp!

I was using easy@home up to the day af was due. Then used a clear blue digital 6 days early the evening af was due and tried a boots early today. All have been bfn. I thought maybe the easy@home wasn’t very reliable so tried another brand but got the same result.

Fingers crossed if you've still not come on its your month. It's so disheartening. I woke up with quite heavy brown discharge which is turning into a period this is the norm for me, I'm going for bloods this morning as I keep having a short LH phase so hopefully they can give me something to help lengthen it

ive just come on, will be TTC 11 months now. ☹️
Does anyone know how much the fertility drugs are here in the U.K with a private clinic?. I am just sorting out the information to send to them.

For example if they suggest clomid… how much will they be per month?

af arrived tonight 😭

There’s three of us in a Whats app group, if you’s want to join pm me your numbers and I’ll add you. The other two have a short LP one is already on clomid.

I've just ordered some tablets called concieve plus. Have a read on them there supposed to be quite good and people have conceived quite quickly on them. Fingers crossed for you on this new cycle

Amy7912 · 07/11/2023 07:24

That's such a good idea, I'd love too but I'm in that many for work and hardly read them so I don't want to join and then seem rude by never replying ik so busy at the minute. I think mine is on its way too major cramping last night and the night before, and still brown discharge which is normal for me before Af for about 4 days. Fingers crossed for you on this cycle

Sorry it didn't happen this month, late periods can be cruel. Best of luck in your next cycle
