Could I be pregnant or not?

Okay ladies ... opinions please.

I have recently come off the pill and am on cycle 3 day 34 with no period. Both other cycles were dead on 28 days. I keep getting very slight stomach cramps like I am about to start my period ... but nothing.

However pregnancy tests keep coming up -ve. Last had sex on 30 March (sorry TMI!) and once before that this cycle (we stopped as we thought we might be going to Australia in December).

Could I be pregnant? Surely pregnancy tests should be showing up +ve by now (although I have heard that it can take some women ages for a +ve to show up)?

If I am just late - what is the longest cycle you can have, I thought 34/35 days was pretty much the longest? Is it possible to completely 'skip' a period and what are the implications of this (can you conceive before you come on again)?

Sorry for all the questions but I am really confused - any help/advice much appreciated!

it is all possible. why dont you go get a blood test? the only way to find out.

Have you been 28days regular since coming off the pill or was that whilst you were on it?

Coming off regular contraception messes things up a bit, but if your not sure, go see your gp for a blood test.

I hate needles but I guess that might be the only way!

Hi LL

I am only on cycle 3 since coming off the pill - had 2 cycles before this one and they were both 28 days.

Was on the pill for years but I remember being pretty regular before this aswell (although I have had quite a stressful month, I am wondering if that has made a difference).

with dd i never got a +ve test at all, had to be scaned at 9 weeks to confirm pregnancy, she was perfectly healthy though

go to docs for peace of mind, worrying about it could be holding off your AF

Oh my goodness! Wow - no +ve at all. Why is that?

Will make appointment at docs - thanks everyone for the help so far.

Hi Tinkerbell

55 days!!!!!!! Does this mean I can't conceive until after my next period?

no idea, barely got one with ds either and my mom had the same problem when pregnant with me. gp said he'd never come across it before and the hospital even wrote my file up as a miscarriage without waiting for scan results!

good luck with tcc

You might not have O'd at all if you've been stressed. It's entirely possible your body has delayed O until now and the cramps you are having are O itself, not related to pg.

If you don't mind me asking what is your cm like?
