What's going on?

[Machericoco]

My last period started on 24/2 (48 days ago). My cycle is usually between 34-38 days. Last week I was cramping and I was sure AF would show up but didn't. I've since been cramping lightly but the cramps feel slightly different to my normal pains. They come and go. Today I have back pains and slight sciatica pains which I don't normally get.
I've also taken 2 pregnancy tests earlier this week and both were negative.
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening? Or have similar stories? I'm not stressed about anything, maybe just a bit more tired I'd say because it's been a busy month. Tia x

Im about 8 days late and have felt like I'm going to come on but nothing ever starts. I have mild cramps and twinges but no other symptoms. Ive also had BFNs. It's so frustrating.

(My cycles range between 28-35 days but most commonly 30-31)

It's frustrating isn't it. Tests always say if you're pregnant but getting BFN then you're testing too early and to test again when your period has been missed.

This happened to me - my cycles are usually between 20 - 35 days and i was in this limbo - eventually at 52 days my period arrived. No stress nothing - and then it gone back to normal.

It doesn't help when most symptoms are the same as PMS as well.

Ive never been this late either. If AF is coming i wish it would hurry up so i can move on to the next cycle. Im gunna re test in a few days and then maybe call my GP for some advice if no change.

@Optimistic66 oh wow. Its horrible being stuck in this limbo

It's the limbo that is annoying. Last time I was 56 days late I was pregnant and got a BFP on day 56 but BfN on day 38.
@RRAEE I complain about this too, just hurry up and come already if you're going to come! Why do our bodies do this to us

@Machericoco I'm on CD41 today so hope its not too much longer.

Day 56 😮 Thats a long time to wait, the limbo is defo the worst especially after the TWW as well, it feels never ending.

@RRAEE tell me about it! I apparently ovulated late hence the late BFP at day 56.

I hope we all get some closure soon and know what's going on.

@Machericoco 🤞🏻 I hope so too.
Keep me updated on how you are getting on.

I just took another test. BFN

That sucks. :(

I'm trying to hold out till Monday but its hard not to want to test again

Well I'm out AF finally showed. 😪 at least now i can move on to the next cycle.

Hopefully you get the answers soon

@anotherlevel thank you 💕 and hopefully everyone gets the answers they want this month. 🙂

Maybe you ovulated late or maybe it’s an anovulatory cycle, they’re the two most plausible explanations.

Thats what i was thinking as never been so late, but at least it resolved its self now.

I'm out too @RRAEE AF just made an appearance.

Hoping for better news next month for us all!

@Machericoco sorry to hear that and hopefully next month is our month !
