    Hi ladies

    Im a bit of a lurker on this thread and wondered if anyone has any ideas whats going on.

    We have been ttc for 3 months and this month af was due 23rd but im still waiting. Multiple negative tests and no sign of af. I know i cant be pregnant with all the bfns but worried as no af yet. Im very bloated and felt like af was coming about a week ago with the same back pain i usually get when it comes then nothing.

    Any ideas? Could i have a uti or something?

    Oh and congrats chelle

    Hi mich. Do you track ovulation? If not, it may just be that your body is having a weird cycle where you don't ovulate or ovulate at a strange time. I had a 73 day cycle randomly in our TTC journey when they were usually around 36-40 days.

    Unfortunately our bodies sometimes just like to be weird!

    You're still only 4 days late though so if you ovulated a bit late there is still a chance you could be pregnant but just earlier than you would have thought.

    Its just very strange as i am always on time. Its the bloating im finding really uncomfortable. I know stress can delay af but i havent been stressed recently. I definately dont feel pregnant so hopefully af just turns up soon and puts me out my misery :o

    Wow Chelle. Lovely news. Congratulations.

    I love coming on and seeing BFP's posted. They seemed to come thick and fast in 2016 so hopefully there will be many more to come.

    Thank you :) I really hope that there will be a lot more to follow from this thread!

    Oh i dont track using sticks or , just use online calculators as i am always usually ontime every month. I was more worried i could have a uti or something tbh. You are probably right though and i am just late this month
  • Hi Mich, annoyingly, I guess only time will tell - either AF will come a bit late, or the hpt will gain a second line in the days to come.

    When I caught last year, the test wasn't positive until 16 dpo. If you normally have only 10 days between ov and AF, you could be 14 days post ovulation now, and the test might come up positive tomorrow. My first symptom was bloating too(!)

    Hope you get some resolution one way or the other soon!

    Afternoon all, I hope you have had a good weekend.

    AF due today, I'm very regular and know when I ovulated, so when it didn't appear this morning I took a test and got a BFP!!

    I can't quite believe it, haven't really had any symptoms just normal PMT stuff, except my nipples were a bit more sensitive than usual so it has taken me by surprise. I'm feeling quite cautious though so I think I'm going to stick around for a bit if that's ok.

    Hope everyone is ok. Baby dust to all x

    Congratulations, and wishing you all the best :)

    Not sure, but think I *might* be approaching ovulation-I'm CD 13, have crampy back ache, and some watery cm. It's the most midcycle signs I have had since mmc, so am keeping my fingers crossed and trying to stay awake so husband and I can get BDing! Still no idea if cycle is back to normal but hoping this is a good sign!

    Last month had a 29 day cycle (before pregnancy was 25 days regular as clockwork) so I'm just CONFUSED! Long weekend away this weekend, so at least shouldn't have my period ruining that!
