9 days late, bfn blood test possible bfp day after!!

Hey girls, bare with me! I need some brutal reinforcement.

I'm currently 9 days late and my and my hubby and I have been trying for 5 years. Bfn everyday, possible line 7 days late.

I had light brown and pink spotting 5 days before my period, which I've never had before! I don't have any of my usual period symptoms, but I do have frequent headaches, waves of nausea and lower back ache, slight cramping but nothing too much. No sore boobs in the slightest which I usually get before period!

I've always been regular 29/33 day cycles. I've never just skipped a period before. I didn't track ovulation but I definitely had my usual ovulation symptoms including fertile cm.

Last week when I was 6 days late, I had pain in my lower right hand side, I had a Dr's appointment and she sent me upto the hospital querying my appendix. I had an ultrasound, all OK!

On the same day they did a blood test (6 days late), and the hcg was less than 1.

I tested 7 days late and got something? I'm guessing a shadow line, but my friends definitely could see it, too. I haven't tested since.

I do have low iron and my blood tests show I'm slightly low on vitamin D. Should I test again, or am I wasting my time? I've had low iron for the last year and it's never delayed my period.

There's no way I could have a negative blood test at 6 days late and still be pregnant? Plus the ultrasound? (checked my tubes and ovaries)....I feel like I'm going insane!

I haven't tested since 7 days late since I got the negative blood test. But now I'm tempted even though I promised myself I wouldn't.

Please be real with me ladies!!

Hey! I personally can’t see a line but I would deffo do another test just to make sure - maybe do the “up to 6 days early” test as the level of hcg needed to detect on those is only 10. It is strange your level was 1 as surely it would be 0 if you weren’t pregnant? I’m on my ivf journey but certainly no expert, but if it was me I would do another test, or use the ones that have the actual words “pregnant” or “not pregnant” just so you are 100% sure. X

I hope it's real 🙏 keep us updated

My uterus feels really bruised today, as does my cervix, I wonder if that's from my internal ultrasound xx

I will update this post come what may! I'm tempted to go buy a test but my logical reasoning is telling me I'm being completely stupid, surely after so many negatives and a negative blood test I'm completely fooling myself...unless I ovulated a week late and caught would make me less than a week late...but what are the chances 🤣

Good luck on your journey! We will be looking into IVF the beginning of next year hopefully! X

The strangeness saga continues...

I'm feeling so nauseas this evening girls...spoke to my partner and he supported my decision to buy more tests. (Legend)

I needed to pee before I left the house (to pick up some tests)
I was out the house half an hour and when I got back I tried to hold my wee but I needed to go, I knew I shouldn't have but I did a 25mui test, I don't believe my eyes there is another faint faint line....giving that I've been drinking all day and I had a pee not an hour before doing my test....I don't want to get my hopes up. It could be that ive got line eyes, i can see it but cant seem to pick it up on camera...I will know for definite in the morning as I brought a clear blue triple check & date pack!

2 of the tests are the clear blue ultra early (10mui) and a clear blue digital. 100% saving them for the morning...I will update the situation in the morning.

Been having alot of mild period cramps today. I'm actually 10 days late not 9 like I thought 🙃 😅

Baby dust to all!!

Definitely Negative on 2 tests!
11 days late.
Had lots of mild cramps yesterday

I'm having my thyroid function bloods ran on Tuesday. Mind boggling!

I really wouldn't care if I started my period, I just want to know why I've skipped a period! 😱

Just for anyone reading this In the future- my hCG levels are <1. Absolutely no pregnancy occurring.... To say I have drove myself ragged googling possible outcomes is an understatement, I've been panicking of potential ectopics ect I've learnt to accept that this is something that can just happen I suppose! I have literally at times thought I'd lost the plot, the waiting has consumed ao much mental head space!

I've been told that my very low iron wouldn't be the cause of my delayed period however I'm still waiting for results for my thyroid, I've been advised to just wait for my next due period.

I do think some women can get super late bfps even at week 4,5,6 after their period is due from what I've read! Not the case for me but good luck to anyone who is also late on your ttc journey! 😁

I'll probably update this when my next cycle is due (28th) and if that one arrives!
