17 dpo bfn and no AF! Need advice

[purplepeenut]

Hi everyone
I know exactly when i ovulated because i had ewcm, cramping and i always get spotting just before it. Ive been taking agnus castus for a few months and my cycles have been like clockwork and i felt the stabbing pain of ovulation right on time. I always get sensitive nipples at 7dpo untill 14dpo when af arrives. This cycle, at 12 dpo my nipples lost their sensitivity and AF never arrived. My boobs started aching at 13dpo which i dont normaly experience. Now at 17dpo theyve just gotten worse but i got a bfn yesterday (16dpo). I dont know what can cause a late period other then delayed ovulation which i know isnt the case. Please help im becoming concerned and dontknow if i should start taking agnus castus which i normaly would when af came until ovulation.

I experienced somsething like this in my last cycle. I had so many other pregnancy symptoms too, turned out I was not. At the end of 17dpo, Af came. I hope it is a late BFP for you. If you really ovulated, your period should come on time. You might want to do a blood test to confirm, before going on agnus castus.

Thanx for replying when you were late on your last cycle did you ovulate late and thats why your AF was late? Are you sure of your ovulation? As soon as the witch arrives I'm going to start temping. I was so sure I'd ovulated is there another reason your AF can be late other then pregnancy and late/no ovulation? This is all so frustrating. If im not i just want AF to come so I can keep trying. Good luck on this cycle

Just to update i tested this morn at 18dpo and got a realy faint line under ten minutes (about 4 minutes) but its so faint i cant tell if it has colour in it so it could be an evap line find out eventualy i guess

I had the same thing this month. No AF yet and I am either 17 or 18 dpo. Took a test yesterday and a faint line that disappeared. Calling my dr tomorrow for a possible blood test.

 

[nursemommy]

let us know what you find out

 

[purplepeenut]

well I held it in for four hours and then did another test and the same thing happened. It appeared almost straight away and its as thick as the control line but its so faint! I dont have to squint or anything to see it, I can see it from arms length away but I'm not sure if it has any colour to it Its a purple-pink colour dye on the test control line but I dont know if I'm just imagining the pink in it or not. I hope its a bfp but I don't believe it. It's an internet cheapy from ebay and I've used about 7 other tests from the 20 pack and this only happened the last two times (today). I really want it to be a bfp!! I've been trying for so long (4 years) that I'm very sceptical. I had pcos but my cycles have been regular the last 3-4. Does the saying 'a line i a line' count if its faint and hard to see colour?? I hate this confusion I'm sure you all understand!! The only this thats keeping me hopeful that this could be it is my boobs are so sore and I only usualy get sensative nips. They are swollen and tender and just generaly achy, worse every day for the last few. I'm preying I'm pregnant but don't want to get to excited. Thanx for replying x

Imo, a line is a line! I

 

[purplepeenut]

well am still waiting untill the morning to do a test. today is going forever The lines on both my tests faded considerably about 20 minutes after I took them and while they are still visible they look like evap lines. Does it matter that they appeared instantly (long before the time limit was over)? or do you think they were evaps? I'm driving myself crazy over analysing this! I've been googling all day but everyone says somthing different. Some people say if it appears in the time limit its a bfp but others say true bfps don't fade Can an evap line appear before the test dries? and is it likely to happen twice in a row? someone save me from myself lol

I am very sure of my ovulation as my cycles are also being monitored by my doctor.my FS was also so sure that I had all the symptoms for a pregnancy and it was strange, i got a BFN and AF came 3 days late.

hmm that is strange. Did you ever work out a reason for it incase it happens again? I hope you never have that again because I know how frustrating it is to get no AF and bfns!! good luck this cycle

 

[Scrumptious]

i'm experiencing the same thing and it's so upsetting!

i'm about 18/19dpo, AF is now 6 days late and i got a BFN on a FRER this morning.

such a head messer

This is actually the second time it happened to me, FS just said that sometimes you get the same symptoms of pregnancy after Ov, bcos its the same hormones, or many I double ovulated and there was an overdose of progesterone. But what the truth is, we really dont know.

Hey purplepeenut..Congrats!! I just found this thread and I am in a similar situation. I am dpo16 with no sign of AF with a bfn on dpo 15. I have never been 3 days late EVER. I am not testing again until Wednesday(dpo18) so it's interesting to know that you didn't get yours until dpo 20. It is so ironic b/c I have been TTC for 6 months then found out I had submucosal fibroids and just had a laparscopic/hysteroscopic myomectomy on 1/18th. I am NOT supposed to be TTC yet so part of me is scared and part of me wants a bfp(of course). That would be just my luck to get knocked up after 1 time all month of unprotected sex after all of our trying for the last 6 months!! Well, will keep ya posted if you're interested..Good luck to you and my have a H&H 9 months!

wow!!!!

congrats!!!!!

that's amazing news!!

H&H 9 months

oh you poor thing dpo 16 is still early if you think of my bfp four days later! Did you know when you ovulated? Maybe it was a bit later then you thought? I hope its not dangerous to get a bfp after your laparscopic/hysteroscopic myomectomy! Its sounds like you've been through alot. I'm realy greatful that I only had PCOS as it could always be worse. I know its frustrating all the waiting, its like your life is on hold. The upside I can see is that all the TTC makes you an expert on fertility and you understand what's happening during your pregnancy alot better. Let me know how it goes. Do you have any symptoms? I had swollen sore boobs which is incredibly unusual for me and all my normal pms symptoms (nipple tenderness, irritability, excessive hunger) all just vanished right after I felt some cramping which i'm looking back on as implantation. Do you have your normal pms symptoms?? I'm hoping for you

 

[purplepeenut]

Thanks we are thrilled but still in shock. I'm terrified somthing is going to go wrong! I'm worried I'll test again and get a bfn then AF will show. I'm out of the risky time now aren't I? don't chemical pregnancies happen before AF? I'm such a worry wart lol i'm just going to relax and wait untill this weekend when my hubby won't need the car for work and I can go to the docs for comfirmation. My inlaws are visiting untill tomorrow and since we are going to keep it secret untill we make it to 8 weeks, its been very annoying having to act normal and not talk about it! I just want to ring everyone I know!! Anyway I'll stop rambling and find some other way to chanel my excitement

 

[purplepeenut]

Scrumptious,
Did you get AF or are you still getting bfns? I realy hope its a bfp for you!! I think early bfp's are made to sound like the usual but doctors always say if you don't get a bfp on the day of your AF then you should test in a week which is 21DPO so it can't be that unusual to get a late bfp. I think it all has somthing to do with the way your body metabolises the hcg. Good luck!! let me know how it goes
