Hi my af was due this morning latest. It was predicted yesterday.

i have 25 day cycles and a 12 day lp.

i spot in cm for up to 2 days before.

had nothing so far. Tested yesterday afternoon with two cheap tests from amazon but different brands. Negative. Still no cm

but bfn.

could it be to early??

It's possible that you ovulated later than you think for whatever reason and your AF is delayed because of that... Do you temp or chart?

But it's also possible that you're preggo and it will take time for it to show up on the test. I would wait another couple of days and test again. By that time, if you are preggo, the HCG in your system might have risen enough to show on a test.

Good luck!!

I used ov sticks this month day 12 and 13 seemed positive. I was very crampy last night spotted a little in cm and again this morning but no af im dry again :-/

The thing about opks is that they can predict when you're going to ovulate, but they don't confirm ovulation. So it is possible that you got those positive opks, then your body didn't quite manage to ovulate and so had to start the process over again. This could push back your ovulation date and delay AF. Temping, while tedious, is the only way to confirm ovulation and tell what exactly your body is doing.

That said, your symptoms actually sound promising. Cramps, while being a sign of AF, can also be a sign that you've got a eggy implanting....cramps plus the light spotting seems like it could go either way, but maybe the spotting is IB.

I would wait another 3 days or so and then test. If you are preggo, your body will have had time to build up the HCG from the possibly implanting egg and you should see a BFP. If you're not, then maybe the delayed AF will show her face and you'll be able to get your next cycle going. Either way, Good Luck!!

Hi Laura

I hope you get a BFP! It would be the best so sending baby dust your way!!!



I had the same thing happen to me this cycle with missing AF I am now on cycle day 43, and my cycles have always been 28-30 days long.

Thankfully I take my temps and I know I did not ovulate. I would have been driving myself crazy thinking I could have been pregnant if not for temping. I did take a HPT after missed AF and of course a BFN as you can't be pregnant if you don't ovulate. I finally ovulated on cycle day 33, when I usually ovulate around cycle day 17, so I ovulated 2 weeks later.

Now AF should be here anyday, and by the time AF comes it will be nearly 3 weeks late.

As for cramps, I began having cramps since AF was originally due and they have continued, although there was no AF. I would cramp on and off, on and off and still no AF. I am cramping again now, but as I have finally ovulated, AF will finally come. DH wasn't around when I ovulated so no TWW for me

I hope you have a more positive outcome, but that's my experience with my missed AF. I definately suggest temping as it is so much better to know what is happening with your body and not be in limbo.

good luck and let us know what happens!!!
