    Question No AF but BFN!

    I am usually a 28 day cycle although last month I got some spotting early but then AF showed up late 32 days.

    This month I am now on cycle day 32 and AF still has not shown I have had some cramping at times sore bb and bloated etc but that usually happens around AF anyway.

    I have also had other pains as well not like AF just strange pain here or there sort of sharp pains.

    I have tested due to being late but BFN! That was on Friday my when AF was supposed to be due and I also tested again on Sunday.
    I just do not know what to think I am going to test again at the end of the week if AF has not shown, but just thought I would ask if anyone has had anything similar happen and what the outcome was, could I be pregnant and it is just not picking up yet?
    Or is my body just out of whack for some reason?

    my AF was late this month too - I think its because you're wanting soooo badly to be pregnant, that its almost as if you're willing your body not to have AF and it puts it off...

    Snikkers, you're not the only one. I could have posted the exact same thing (although I'm a day late, based on my average cycle length)

    for a bfp for you

    Hi Snikkers

    It might be nothing but if your cycles continue to lengthen for no reason, see your GP for a referral to a gyno for some tests (or the GP could run the tests if he/she is confident in diagnosing and treating reproductive issues). It could be a hormonal imbalance or polycystic ovaries, you might not be ovulating every month for some reason.

    Over the years my cycle lengths varied wildly. I'd be all over the place, then every 28 days for 2 years, then haywire again (longer and longer). I also used to have very variable pains which changed over the years, sometimes really heavy painful periods, sometimes painful ovulation, other times just general pain or no pain!! I wish I'd seen the Doc about it much sooner but i had just laughed it off for years and years. It took some time but a several issues were identified which were treatable. In the end we went the IVF route mainly because of 'my age' and endometriosis recurrence, but we certainly could have tried naturally for longer.

    All the best with your TTC journey girls xo

    Thanks Ali for your reply hun it means a lot, don't worry I will see doc if it continues have already done so about some other issues and have had investigated.. I do get heavy painful period but usually on time.
    I also get ovulation pain and had a pain consistently in my left side that I went to get investigated still do not know what the pain was but found out I had bicornuate uterus in the process so at least I found that out!
    All the best with the arrival of your little one..
