**TMI** Could I be 12 weeks pregnant with BFNs?

[BeckyPfromLeeds]

TW - TMI and long post alert

This is a bit of a long shot, but, we started ttc at Xmas and I am currently 15DPO, CD69 and tons of BFN's.

To give you all the full history, I had AF on 13th Dec which was normal (the cycle bfore this was 49 days and the the one before that 28 days) but then had a 2 day bleed on 1st Jan (9 days early). It was very very light and even when I did use tampons on one of the days, every time I changed it after 6 hours or more, there was hardly anything on it. Now I am normally a 5 day girl with about 3 days of heavy bleeding. But this one went from pink to brown, a tiny pit of red on the tampon but mainly brown and pink. As this was our first month ttc, I classed this a CD1.

I had EWCM on 11th Jan so thought I ovulated a day or so later. I started testing for pg at the end of Jan when I was due and nothing, all BFN. I wasn't using OPKs as i wanted to do my first cycle as natural as possible. So decided to start using them after I had a week of BFNs.

Throughout Jan, Feb and so far in March I have been having some weird on off cramps. I have being having weird headaches and weird bloating. I carried on as normal and got my peak on CD53. So, I'm supposedly on CD69, 15DPO, no sign of AF and another week of BFNs.

So, there are 3 scenarios in my head:

I know this sounds ridiculously impossible but maybe I ovulated at Xmas and the small bleed was implantation and for some reason all the hpts haven't picked up hcg? I know im clutching at straws but could I be 12 weeks and not have a positive hpt?

I could have just ovulated late this month and just be too early to test, but that doesn't explain all the other weird things that have been going on for the past few months.

Or, I could just have not ovulated at all and my cycles a d symptoms have just all gone haywire since we started to ttc.

I mean, a girl I work with was 15 weeks when she found out. She has PCOS and is very slim. She had no symptoms but obviously was not testing as she didn't think she was ovulating.

Just shy of going to my GP to see what's going on and I don't know what to think. Does anyone have a stories or something similar happening?

If you got this far, sorry for rambling and thank you for reading x x ❤️

Honestly very very unlikely if you are having negative tests

have you recently come off birth control? When I first came off the pill I would go months with no period. Took me a year to become regular

It’s very unlikely. I found agnus castus helped when I was having really long cycles (coming off the pill).

Could I be 12 weeks pregnant with BFNs

In short, no.

Thank you ladies. I kinda know this deep down. No, I haven't come off the pill or anything.

My cycles are irregular. Most are normal but every now and again I have one that is a couple of weeks late which is normally due to illness or stress delaying ovulation. But then the next months af will be a shorter which then evens it out.

I am going to see how I get on over the next week or so as it would be that I ovulated later than my opks suggested and I'm too early to test.

I just want to know where i am in my cycle x x

@BeckyPfromLeeds this sounds stressful for you I am sorry. Given you had an OPK peak I think that combined with negative pregnancy tests make it very unlikely. From nothing but curiosity I've used an OPK a couple times during my pregnancy (up to 12w) and got blazing positives throughout, so I think that would be an indicator alone. I hope you get some answers soon x

Depending on age and whether this has always happened or if it's a newer thing to have such irregular cycles, I'd say it sounds most like perimenopause.

Either that or pcos.

The moment you TTC the moment your cycles do the weirdest things, whether it’s the anticipation and symptom watching or just the stress of TTC impacting your ovulation and periods.

It’s the worst phrase when you are TTC but try to relax, keep yourself busy and healthy it’ll come.
