Period 3 weeks late bfn?

[MetalHeadXo]

Hi ladies! Excuse my double post but I am posting in this thread in hopes of hearing similar stories ending in a bfp! I am 25, been ttc for 9 months with much difficulty. I use opks and get 2 lh surges a month- 1st right after period and 2nd later in the month, with ewcm and ov pains at same time each month. I do have an ovarian cyst and history of hyperthyroidism which has been corrected with meds that I no longer need to take. I always have a 33 day cycle, and one time it was 34 days. I am now 3 weeks late but BFN. I did not use opk last month because I wanted to take a month off from stressing about ttc. I did not notice any ewcm last month, and noticed it almost 2 weeks ago and it lasted for 4 days. Anywho my period is 3 weeks late now, and bfn. I am so confused because I have never missed a period, was not ill or stressed. I'm also gaining a ton of weight recently it seems, but no pregnancy symptoms . Help!!!

I haven't heard of anyone being pregnant despite getting bfns'. However, when you stress about getting pregnant it can mess with your cycle. It happened to me a couple of months before my bfp. So we took a break for a month, then the following month barely trying !!!!
The only thing I can suggest, and I'm sorry it's probably not overly helpful, is perhaps seeing your doctor and getting a blood test. Good luck

My post isn't overly helpful either. But before I started trying my periods were regular down to the time in the morning they would come.
But the stress if ttc made them so irregular. I was 17 days late once and symptom spotting I wanted the the bfn to be a false test so bad but af reared her ugly head and then we decided to stop trying and when I got my BFP we had been so busy / exhausted we had sex only 4 times that month. Lol

Good luck though

It's very possible to be 3 weeks late with AF and still not be pregnant. On at least two occasions I actually skipped AF completely, just for it to turn up on the later date that AF was due if I'd had a normal cycle.

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but i was 3 weeks late before i got my bfp. Its most likely that i ovulated much later and still waiting for scan to find out far along i am for sure. I'd suggest a trip to the GP for a blood test. That way you will know if you're pregnant or have missed your period this month xxx

I was 4 weeks late and got a BFN then when AF still didn't come a week later there was my BFP...I don't know why it took so long, I guess the hormones just weren't quite ready to show me a BFP!

Good luck xx

If you got ewcm two weeks ago you may have ovulated late hun, so giving time for implantation, you should very soon be getting a positive, if your pregnant, take an expensive one and if neg and no period in a week id go docs for a blood test hun

Thank you for the replies. I think I have ovulated late but am concerned cause last period was 2 days long and I never even soaked a pad or a tampon, barely blood. I'm worried I am having anovulatory cycles cause periods are always so light and me and my boyfriend have sex almost daily. This is all so confusing. I will update with when af shows or a Bfp (I wish). I am praying I am pg and the hormone is just too low to test. They make you believe in school that If you kiss a boy you are pregnant! But ttc is so difficult.

I would definitely go get a blood test done if you can, it'll tell you for sure. I have missed my period though and not been pregnant - typically due to stress.. I hope you get your though!

Terri and newmommy- did either of you guys have pg symptoms while you were late?

 

[MetalHeadXo]

Got period today. I'm glad to start over but am sad- I truly believe I will never get pregnant , my body just must not be capable of conceiving. This is so hard!!!

Terri and newmommy- did either of you guys have pg symptoms while you were late?

Yeah i had quite a few and was utterly convinced i was pregnant - mainly had hot flushes and nausea, but sometimes got bad headaches, sore back and ended up all spotty. xxx

 

[Teri7489]

Aw hun, dont be so hard on yourself!! It will happen for you, just got to keep trying!!! xxxx

Don't be too hard on yourself Hun.
As soon as I started ttc my period became irregular and I got the weirdest pg symptoms even though I wasn't pg. my doctor seems to think it was stress over ttc.
I got so sick of it that this time when af was a week late I didn't even think I was pregnant and when I took the test and those two lines showed I was so shocked I couldn't believe it!

Maybe you've had an anovulatory cycle? It may explain the very light and short period every now and then. Remember that the opk only predicts when ovulation is supposed to occur, it doesn't tell you that it definitely happened. You could infer, though, that because of the opk testing positive, you have hormone surges, which indicates that maybe there's just no egg to be released? Of course this is all theoretical suggestions based on just this post lol.

Or sometimes stress just does funky things to our bodies, and it's just not your time. If you're worried about it I would ask your doctor about it. Even if you haven't been ttc for long, there's something going on (probably not serious) that may need to be explored, or may give you some answers.

I really wish you the best of luck and hope to see you back here soon!
