Hi everyone.

So, hubby and I have been ttc our second child for 7 months now. I have regular 28 day cycles and when I used opk strips (for the first 3 months of trying) I always ovulated around day 14. Anyway, last month af arrived 2 days early for some unknown reason. This almost never happens to me as I am regular as clockwork so I did think that maybe it could have been a missed attempt at implantation.

I was due on on Friday (4 days ago) as this would be 28 days from the start of my last cycle. Still no sign of af at all. I have had very mild cramping for 11 days (barely noticeable and only for a few minutes each day - mainly if I’m standing or if I have just been for a wee). I did get my usual headache, couple of spots, irritability and hot flashes on Saturday which are usually the sign that af is about to arrive within a few hours. Every Month for the week leading up to af I get super sore boobs but this month I have had no soreness at all just itching around the nipples? Since Saturday I have also had mild nausea each morning when waking and feel hungry all of the time! I have had unusual tiredness for a week now (napping in the day when I get chance which I NEVER do). I feel like I must be pregnant as I am just SO exhausted?

I have tested daily for a week now with one step cheapie internet test strips and this morning I used a first response . . Photos attached as I’m not sure if there is a faint squinter or if I am seeing things 😫I have only ever been more than 2 days late once before; after the birth of my first child 9 years ago as for the last 25 years I have been on regular 28 day cycles. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening? The testing early posts and test advertising isn’t helping me at all as it seems as though everyone gets an early positive. With my first child I tested a week early and got a negative on a digital first response and then one day after miss af and got a pregnant 1-2 on a clearblue digital so I’m not sure how soon I would have tested positive if I had tested daily.

Afraid I can't see a line.

My cycles were fairly regular (27-29ish days), and then when we were ttc for some reason they went haywire. I had several 31 day cycles as well as normal 27/28/29, then one month a 25 day, followed by a 34 day, and then the month after that I conceived.

I did have a copper coil removed, but it took us 8 months to conceive so don't think it was related. Sometimes your body just does weird things. Fingers crossed for you, but I wouldn't pin your hopes on this month x

@BackOnTheBandWagon no I am trying not to but like I say this is SO unusual for me. I haven’t had a coil removed or come off the pill etc so there isn’t a reason as such for my cycles to suddenly be so out of sync. However, you are right about bodies doing weird things - with each day that passes I feel more sure that af can’t be coming but then why would I not get a positive test by now? Makes no sense. I forgot how emotionally draining ttc is. Maybe that’s why I am so exhausted lol. I’m not doing to test again now until Thursday if no sign of at by then. Thanks for the reply and I’m glad you managed to conceive in your 8th month ☺️👶🏻 x
