Hello!! Just looking for other stories similar. So I have quite irregular periods but I’ve never been this long without a period. They seemed to become more regular between January and June but now I haven’t had a period since!

Due to my irregular periods I started to track ovulation with ovulation tests and signs from my body. I believe I ovulated on 5th august. I’ve had nothing but negative tests. No signs of AF. I’m super bloated, and have been for over a week. I spoke to the doctor this morning and theyre preparing my blood test forms, so I will pick them up in the morning and book in the earliest blood test possible. They are also referring me for a transvaginal scan, which will most likely be within the next 2 weeks.
I have 2 children already and both times I found out days before my period was due, but back then I had regular periods.
Right now it’s a waiting game so just looking for anyone in a similar situation or has been in a similar situation!

Hello, currently on day 65 and had 4 negative tests prior. Tested day 4, 7, 13 and 14. Waiting to get back to the UK to test again, unless AF arrives. Was due my period on Tuesday, had slight feelings heading towards a period but currently nothing. Next step after this will be to contact my GP. Very anxious, so this may not be helping. Had a couple of irregular periods previously.

Hi! Thanks for responding. It’s awful isn’t it?!?! I had my blood test today, so I will likely have my results on Monday. Still testing negative! I have one test left and will test in the morning, then just wait and see for my blood test. I’m getting so worried that something else is wrong, I’ve had irregular periods but never gone this long without one! I usually have an 11 day luteal phase too but I’m now 19dpo!!

Hi, did you test again in the morning? Any result? Hope your blood test went well. I've been getting period like cramps and achy boobs but no period has arrived as of yet.

Negative test again! Also had the results back from the blood test and I was told everything was “normal”. So I assume that was negative too. I have a diagnostic scan on Tuesday just to see if there’s anything internally going on. Still no period, I had the tiniest bit of spotting yesterday when I wiped. I’m guessing it’ll show in a few days, if not then atleast I have the scan which will hopefully tell me more!

Fingers crossed for you! It's horrible not knowing what's going on, when these kinds of things come out of the blue. I'm 36 days late now, so about to miss a whole second cycle. Forgot what it feels like to have a normal healthy period. Curious as to whether you've been vaccinated as this was something that was coming up with late periods.

Mum2twoxo · 27/08/2022 22:08

Nope I’ve not been vaccinated, I have read that the vaccinations can cause late periods. Still no period for me I’m now day 76. I feel the same as you! Not even sure what a normal period feels like at this rate. Hopefully something changes for us soon!

68 days, so not far behind you. I've purchased some norethisterone to see if I can induce a period myself on return to the UK, after testing one last time. I'm hoping I won't have to use them!

Mum2twoxo · 29/08/2022 10:56

Hopefully you won’t have to use them! Still no changes my end

Hopefully not! According to my period tracker I've just missed another whole cycle 🤦🏽‍♀️ probably something I didn't want to think about every single day on my holiday.

Mum2twoxo · 30/08/2022 14:53

I had my scan earlier, I have to wait for the doctor to ring me with results. TMI but as soon as the sonographer had finished, there was blood. So I don’t know if this is the beginning of a period or just because she was prodding and poking around. Time will tell

Oh, please do update once you find out your results. Sending best wishes!
