So, I can't remember the exact date of my last period but I think it was the last week of March.. I'm always very regular but so far no sign of AF.

I have done one Sainsbury test and one Clear blue test (both afternoon / evening) and both negative

But here I am probably about 7/8 days late with no sign of AF. A couple of back cramps but that's about it.

Anyone else had a positive show up later than this, or any other reason why I could be late? Driving me nuts now 🤦🏽‍♀️

@2020firsttimemum I'm in the same boat at the moment. Since last July me cycles have been from 30-34 days. I am now on day 38 with no sign of AF. I did a test on CD35 and it was negative. I don't know what's going on.

@Walkinthesun it's really annoying isn't it! We aren't trying (we have a 22 month old little boy already) but if i was I would be happy and now feel like if I'm not I'd be slightly disappointed!

I wonder if it has anything to do with covid jabs at all? Just speculation, I haven't read into it but heard other people mention it

I've literally just had this. 9 or 10 days late for no apparent reason. Could only put it down to work stress. AF arrived in time for me to not call the GP tomorrow!

Tbh most things I have watched are very not child friendly. What about golden girls? I loved watching that again so funny.

Walkinthesun · 08/05/2022 19:24

@2020firsttimemum we were trying for almost a year with no luck. I already have an 8 year old girl so want to give her a sibling. I'm 31 now so worry my age is against me. We decided to wait a little as we're buying our first home and a new baby at the same time would have been alot. But now it's late! I will give it a little longer and test again if no AF

2020firsttimemum · 08/05/2022 19:32

@NearlyHeadlessNick I hope it was what you wanted! I don't feel like I've been stressed at work... more stressed about being late and wanting to know either way!

@Walkinthesun oh bless you, makes absolutely sense! I wouldn't worry about your age, I think you have plenty of time at 31! And if it makes you feel any better about moving with a little one, we viewed our home when our little boy was 12 days old and moved in when he was 4 months 🙈 stressful but worth it!
Yeah I think I'll do the same, keep us updated!

@2020firsttimemum thank you.
You keep us updated too 💖

Have you had any symptoms?
I've had a sudden craving for diet coke but that could just be my brain tricking me!

2020firsttimemum · 08/05/2022 21:03

@Walkinthesun I will do! I'm not sure if I should test first thing tomorrow or leave it a couple of days.
Not so much, only some cramping in my lower back which I don't normally have before my period but I have suffered with back problems occasionally since having my little boy so could be my brain tricking me too! And also peeing a lot but again, I'm quite a frequent pee-er

Walkinthesun · 09/05/2022 10:17

@2020firsttimemum I've got to wait to test as I don't have any left!
Still no sign of AF. CM is white and creamy. Day 39 I'm on now 😫

Did you test this morning?

2020firsttimemum · 09/05/2022 12:26

I just bought a first response to try that and it was negative! No idea what's going on but I'd like to know 😂
Probably need to relax and AF will come like a smash in the face 🤦🏽‍♀️

OP posts:
Walkinthesun · 09/05/2022 22:07

@2020firsttimemum oh no, how frustrating!?
I guess when AF comes at least you will know rather than being stuck in limo!
I had some light pink spotting when I wiped earlier but nothing since!

Walkinthesun · 09/05/2022 22:07

@2020firsttimemum I mean *limbo

2020firsttimemum · 10/05/2022 14:31

@Walkinthesun could be implantation maybe? Did you manage to test again?
Still nothing here!

OP posts:
Walkinthesun · 10/05/2022 16:42

@2020firsttimemum I haven't had chance to do another test. I like to do them first thing on a morning.
Still no other spotting or signs of period.
I might give it a couple days just to see if spotting turns into AF

2020firsttimemum · 11/05/2022 13:38

@Walkinthesun AF came to me this morning (lucky me) feeling relief with a twinge of sadness
Any sign your side?

OP posts:
Walkinthesun · 11/05/2022 13:53

@2020firsttimemum at least you know now.
There's always next cycle ❤

I still haven't had AF yet. Had a headache earlier. Don't know if that's linked. No other spotting or anything 🤷🏼‍♀️

2020firsttimemum · 16/05/2022 16:02

@Walkinthesun did AF turn up or did you get a positive test?!

OP posts:
Walkinthesun · 19/05/2022 11:29

@2020firsttimemum I ended up getting AF as well. It was just very late!

2020firsttimemum · 24/06/2022 10:14

@Walkinthesun I had the same thing again this month, very late. Took a test to be sure, and guess what

This was not planned and although I'm not 'sad' about it, I'm freaking out

2 negative tests and no sign of AF

@2020firsttimemum congratulations!!

Mine was late this time. I took a test and saw a very faint line but then I ended up getting my period. Even though its a little light but it's still there.
I've had bloods done and my hormones are all fine. My OH has to be tested as well and then we go from there in our fertility journey.

2020firsttimemum · 24/06/2022 10:25

@Walkinthesun thank you, I'm very shocked at the moment.

Im so sorry, I really hope you get a positive soon! Keep me updated, I'll keep everything crossed for you 🤍

Congratulations, what CD were you when this came positive?

@PossiblyPregnantAt17
Thank you! What's CD? Sorry

@PossiblyPregnantAt17
Thank you! What's CD? Sorry

Cycle day

febbabies2023 · 13/04/2023 12:37

@PossiblyPregnantAt17 oh right! I'm sorry I have absolutely no idea! I know I was about 10 days late again at this point which is probably why the positive is so strong
Baby girl is now nearly 8 weeks old

Judging by your user name, you possibly think you could be pregnant at 17? Do you need some advice with anything that MN can help with?
