BFN but no AF!!!??

Hey Amsta!

Have been lurking for a while and thought its about time I offered my support :redface:

I totally understand what you are going through, I am currently waiting for AF, and it has now been 111 days since her last visit!!! I came off the pill in January, had 5 AFs with roughly 50 day cyles, and now nothing. I have been to the dr, and I am not UTD either :(

I have also had cramping where I though AF was definitely coming, but she was a no show. I had some spotting on saturday, and was so excited, but so far hasn't amounted to anything. I can't get to the dr now until mid december unfortunately.

So :hug::hug::hug::hug: for you cos I know just how frustrating it is, and i just want you to know that you are not alone! You should definitely go to the dr again on Thursday, and I hope you get some answers so you can continue on your TTC journey.

hey there mel thanks heaps for your reply..

do you beleive in the ovulating later senario? i am becomming quiet impacient and wanting my AF to arrive. i am sooo glad finally someone has posted that is in the similar position. but u have alot more days up your sleeve than i do!! arghhh i hope i get it soon..

what are you going to do?

my dr also suggested systs maybe related if not pregnant.. so if i dont have my af in the next week im gonna go bak to the dr. sooo werid!!!!

please keep in touch. my email is bythebeach99@hotmail.com if you ever want to chat on msn

hey amsta, thought i'd better stop lurking and share also :redface:
it has currently been about 90 days since my D&C ( for missed miscarriage at 12 weeks) and still no AF :wall:
i have a had defo signs of ov (cm, furning on MB, and prog of 79 with a drop 1 week later to 2) and wicked cramps (getting worse each month) 2 weeks after ov. but still no AF. at first i thought i was UTD and the HPT's were wrong, had BT BFN :cry:. went for ultrasound to check no cysts, fibroids (and baby). all was normal except fluid within uterine cavity (probably blood). my doc suspects a blockage (ie cervical stenosis or uterine adhesions (ashermans) ) or damage to my uterine lining :o
i know this is an extreme case and is totally not where you are, but for you and others to know that it is possible to ov and still have no AF.
i have followed your story and my guess is you are just having a weird cycle. i wish you all the best. hang in there

Hey there teddy.. thank you sooo much for sharing your story.. seems there is more peoeple out there having similar things happen.. thank you soo much for sharing.. i am scared to have an U/S incase nothing shows.. but better to know than not have any thing happen hey.
what happens now with you?? do they run more tests or is it a matter of playing the weighting game? think ill wait a week.. if i dont get my AF then ill go back to the dr's.

thank you so much please keep me updated :)

Hi Amsta,

**Hugs** hopefully af will rear her ugly head real soon and you can get started on trying for a bub again.
Um no not a low sperm count, I cant exactly remember what the dr said but we will know for sure in about 3 weeks. I couldnt believe the cost for a semen analasyst is ... $170!! what a rip off!!


**prayingforabub**

yes but i guess it goes to show the importance of them :) hehehhe

praying for AF.. never thought id say that!

thanx amsta, knowledge is power
u/s not so scary for me, i know my probs come from the D&C so knew i prob didn't have cysts etc, but was hopeing against hope there was a bubba !! i am booked into hossy in 3 weeks (after i ov again) so they can dilate, do a hystoscopy (camera) and to do a endometrial biopsy. hopefully this might fix me. my cramps this month (yesterday and today) were terrible need panadine forte to function. i can't go on like this !!

:leap:hey amsta, good news, AF arrived 2:30 this arvo :leap::leap::leap:

hopefully this means there is nothing wrong with me. i can cancel my hossy trip and we can get on with trying for our #3.
i think my massive cramps in the last 2 days were trying to soften my reluctant cervix.

i will continue to follow your story, and understand your frustration.

hopefully in a years time this will be a small hickup and you'll have that little bundle in your arms

talk soon

wow! congrats teddy....never thought i'd be jealous of someone for getting their AF but i am!

52 days since the start of my last AF....will take another + - test today or tomorrow (already missed the first pee of the day so i may wait) ...i'll keep you posted but i have a feeling i'm just having a crazy cycle.......like you, amsta, I plan to visit the dr probably next week.....when i am suppose to get my next af..if i don't get one by that time i'll start to really worry...

thanks for sharing everyone...def helps knowing your stories

congrats teddy.. soo jealious!!!

although i think it all happens for a reason!

if my af doesn arrive by next week or the week after i may do an U/S just to see whats going on.. other than that thinking its an off cycle.. i mean you got yours..

im into day 59 of my cycle.. hopefully it will come.. did a HPT on wednesday.. im definetly convinced that im not pregnant so i started a 7 day detox.. hoping cleaning my system might help my af to come :)

Oh my god Amsta (and others)! It sounds so frustrating. I can't believe it. I swear if it wasn't for belly belly I'd know absolutely nothing about this sort of stuff. Thanks for sharing it.

I hope it all works out for you.

i think i got my af too!! at least i have some spotting! good sign. :D

sooo jealious! i have nothing still.. i ran into a gf yesterday and she is 4 weeks over due and is getting BFN i said to her that my last peior was 9 weeks ago! and she was like omg! i said get it checked but hang in there :)

im hangin.....

hey guys AF has almost left the building. :dance:
i don't think i have been so happy since my DD was born. i haven't spoken to my doc yet, but feel sure he'll say theirs nothing stopping us continuing our TTC.

amster, has your doc done any hormone levels to see if he/she can pinpoint where in your cycle you are? if you get progesterone (and FSH, oestrogen, and LH) you can tell if ov has happened yet. thats how my doc found out that i most likely had a blockage, my prog was high (79), and he said "well you should get AF in 14 days, come back if you don't". well i went back when AF didn't show had another prog (2) that should have kicked off AF. it didn't thats how he knew there was a problem.
this gave me an absolute time frame rather than just "hanging".
your doc can also proscribe something if you haven't ov to bring on AF (i think it is progesterone), so you can hopefully kick start another cyle. but this wont tell you whats causing this delay, and you may endup here again.:comfort:

hey there girls.. just wanted to post that i did a test this morning and got a faint second line.. not entirely sure what to do or think.. im kinda talking myself out of it hahahaha! any way just thort i would share with you all.

Hey Amster,
Thats great news.
I thought I would let you know that when my mum was pregnant with all us kids (now adults) no blood test would show up her pregnancy's, They only way they could tell was an ultrasound.
I have been told I am the same. I dont know how they can tell but apparently all us girls are the same.
Goodluck and it would be a nice surprise if you are :)

hey gizzmo.. thanks for your advise.. mum said she needed a blood test to show.. do you know if faint lines mean pregnant or can they be dodgy?

Hi Amsta,

Usually 2 lines does mean positive however there are some tests that can produce faint lines that are not true. What brand test did you use? Crystal Clear has a bad track record along with some internet brands. In saying that I had a very faint line when pg with DD on a crystal clear test and it took a week but finally got darker, Dr did a POAS test in between as well and was determind I was not pregnant. Maybe you should go for a blood test? Or wait for 3 days (I know 3 days seems like forever) and test again, by then it should be a darker line if it is in fact a BFP. Good luck! I hope that it is a true positive for you!!!

Deanne.
