Confused!!

Hi all!

DH and I started to TTC in January so using a ovulation calculator online I put in my LMP and got the dates for when I would be most fertile. I was due to get AF on the 11th Feb but hasn't yet showed up. It's now 15 days late with no sign of coming.

The week it was due I was cramping pretty bad. I just figured AF was on her way and we weren't successful this month. Didn't even expect it TBH.

I POAS the day AF was duE (11th), negative!
AF still hadn't arrived so I POAS 3 days later (14th), negative!
Then tested again on the (19th) negative! ...then the (21st) negative!
...............getting impatient!.....................

So I hold off for a few more days and tested yesterday (26th) and still get a BFN!

I've been experiencing a heavy, tender and achey sort of feeling in my stomach now and have been feeling more run-down than usual. I also have lower back pain and am feeling full easily but apart from that, nothing else.

You'd think with having two kids already I'd be able to just "feel and know" I was UTD but I can't work it out. I've always had a problem with early detection. With DS1 I tested when AF was a couple of weeks late and got a BFN and ignored it after that. Few weeks later after AF was still a no-show I tested and got a BFP, turns out I was just over 7 weeks pregnant.
With DS2 I'd been having irregular periods since having DS1. I'd get one every second month or so. Each month I'd have to test just to make sure before I would drink etc. I tested one week, negative and then the next week I got a BFP after feeling really 'off' . I was almost 6 weeks pregnant. Very strange how my body works....

Do you think there could be a chance I am pregnant and it's just too early for me for it to be detected?? After having DS2 my periods have been always on time or a day or two late but never 15 days late! Surely this can't be just a coincidence that it would stop after DH and I start TTC It really is driving me insane and DH is sick of me venting about it all, typical men.... doesn't interest him at all until there is a BFP so no help or moral support.

The Dr is my very last resort as I have some 'issues' with them. (Bad experience) Any help, advice or support would be fantastic as I'm feeling quite alone here

it happened to me too a few months ago AF just took forever to come i have never had irregular periods ever it was just one of those things

Going on your past history, I would say there is a good chance you might be UTD. You might not get your BFP till you are 6-7 weeks PG.

Thanks for your replies...

JwithJ I'm hoping it's not the case but don't doubt it... it'll definitely make it harder with TTC if AF goes irregular. From my dates and using a Due date calculator it said I would be due around the 22nd October like you. Seeing that you're more than 6 weeks along I'm starting to feel a little dissapointed and silly.


rumpleteaser *fingers crossed* If i didn't have the history with late detection I would definitely be ruling out pregnancy. It's all so very confusing.


Anyone else have any ideas?
