No AF but BFN! Help! Update :(
This is probably easier if I bullet point it!
- My cycles are always 26 days. No variation.
- I have not been on the pill for about 7 years so no hormones whizzing around besides my own.
- Before my period I get a heavy, dull ache and full feeling. I also get PMT in that I get easily annoyed.
- My AF did not show. I got a BFN on an SD test. (Am only a day late, but late nonetheless!)
- My LP is only 10/11 days, so when I did the test I think I was 11DPO, 12 at most (I don't chart temp, just use OPK so exactly when I ovulated I don't know, although I did get a definite +ve OPK)
- I have had no AF symptoms whatsoever. In fact, when I told hubby I was late he was surprised because I hadn't been (and I quote) "a complete pain in the ass". Charming!
- I have had lots of twinges for the past few days and so much CM I've been convinced AF had arrived. I've had other little symptoms that may or may not be related so I'm discounting them.
I know in reality I can't do much besides wait and test again in a few days. But I guess what I'm wondering is:
- Is it likely that I am pg but there's not enough hcg to show yet because of my shorter LP (my brain is telling me if I was pg it would have shown, even though I know that's not necessarily true)? Has anyone on here not got a BFP until after their AF was due?
- Or is it more likely my cycle has randomly decided to change after being constant for years?
I'm trying to be sensible and not get my hopes up. I didn't even test until I missed AF! I am trying to be level headed and hubby is being great, just saying we need to wait. The manic side of me is threatening to go and buy every pg test on the shelf! I just want this so much. Any reassurance/reality check appreciated! Thanks girls, sorry it was so long x

Hey Wildthing thanks hun. I tested again this morning, still BFN. Going to wait until Monday and if still negative, will then wait until the weekend (assuming still no AF of course!) I'm glad that some people just don't show on tests straight away! There seem to be so many that show +ve at 9DPO that I've convinced myself I can't be pregnant, even though it's the most logical explanation. Why is nothing simple?!
How are you going this month? Haven't been on here for a while as I didn't want to get too excited just yet! x
Luv clare
I'm very well thanks hun, we only successfully bd once this month - either a day after ov or 3 days before so we are in with a shot this month. Have had a few symptoms (look at the symptom spotters thread!). If it doesn't happen this month then so be it, always next month!
How are you doing? Any sign of AF yet? Have you done another test? xx
Have checked out your SS thread Wildthing, yours look promising! Hope it works for you ) Def in with a shot with those dates. I'm always on the next month in my head. Never really believe it will happen, still don't right now!
No sign of AF, still loads of CM (sorry TMI!) Tested this morning but still negative. Ran out of tests so have bought some first response tests today. May wait til Monday to test again. I did so well to wait til AF was late, nature is teasing me! x
loobylou and everybody else in confusing situations, good luck to you all too and babydust sprinklings all round. xx
So, yea. No idea why it was late or where all that CM came from. Bit bummed this morning and I think hubby was too when I told him which made me cry, I feel like I've let him down
Oh well, onto June. Hope my cycle sorts itself out. I really hate how it's been like clockwork for so long and now I'm TTC it decides to change. Sucks.
Sorry, I know we haven't really been trying long and there are people in much worse situations. Good luck to everyone still waiting x
Sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped it would but at least you're not in limbo anymore.
Good luck for next month!!

Hey Rach, def good to not be in limbo, limbo land is not a nice place. How many days late are you now? Are you going to see the doc?
Hey MrsHappy, still no AF I take it?
Oh Loubylou, I hope you aren't joining me! In a nice way lol. Someone has to get a BFP! Is AF on her way?

Tell me about it, wish we'd started trying sooner. Feel your pain, have a hug ) We can be cycle buddies and whinge to each other all month! Hope you're ok x
Mrshappy I doubt the doctor would do anything other than tell you to wait a bit longer. Medically speaking a missed period or late period is 'normal' and can happen due to many reasons such as stress etc. It's awful though when you're ttc and counting every day of your cycle! I would wait a few more days and see what happens.
Good luck to everyone still waiting and to those starting a new cycle!
