Newbie here, fed up with BFNs and no AF

[Franjipan]

HI girls,

Im new here but feel like i already know some of you as have been having a read here for the last week or so whilst trying to get through the dreaded 2 week wait!! (which has felt more like a 2 year wait this cycle!!!). Im 27 and my hubby's 26.Been trying ttc for 7 months now and normally have 37 0r 38 day cycle .
Am now either 5 or 6 days late for af but am still getting BFN's. Am getting soo frustrated about it now, am a P.O.A.S addict at the best of times but this cycle has driven me mad as had sooo many preg symptoms last week and have been convinced id get a BFP but no such luck. Anyone else in the same boat??? Or can shed some light??? Where is my BFP or where is my period???? x

Welcome to the forum.

It's not uncommon for women not to get their BFP until a week or so after AF is due, I personally got mine 5 days after I expected the to show. Are you normally pretty regular? I'd say test again in two days and if you still get a BFN and AF hasn't shown I'd go into your doctor, they can do bloodwork that can tell if you are pregnant or not. Good luck

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I have been 37 days most months except last month I was 34 days so if anything i thought this month would have been a bit shorter but am still waiting and absolutley no sign of af at all and getting lots of cm (sorry tmi) which I dont normally get if im due on.Did clear blue ovulation tests this cycle and defo ovulated according to that two weeks before I was due so am hoping hoping hoping!!!
Think ill do what you suggest then ,test tomorrow and then if nothing comes after the weekend, ill go see the doc.

Hi Rolo and Sinead,
Well im "saying" they were pregnancy symptoms but god knows if they are, they were just things I don't normally feel you know?
Had really bad heart burn which I neevr normally get
Starving hungry even after id just eaten and waking up starving and going to bed starving
Really sore and sensitive nipples
Lots of cm (sorry too much info)
Not being able to sleep and waking up through the night (maybe cos i was anxious god knows??)
Needing to wee
Constipation
Feeling sick off and on and really low down feelings on my left hand side, not pain but incomfortable
Really achey lower back

cant think of anything else??? Ive probably convinced myself into being pregnany knowing me but im sure i wasnt imagining it, just had them off an on through the week really. All symptoms stopped now except nipples, cm and back ache. (sorry for the essay)

I was in similar position to you last month, but she turned up 10 dys late for some reason....you could be so in tune with your body now that u r noticing things that u never noticed b4????
However, don't dismay...I went to docs wen a few days late and she said it can take 4 weeks for your hcg levels to be read by a pregnancy test...
But it all sounds very hopefull!!!!!!
