AF late & going nuts but BFN!

Hi Girls,

Was wondering if for any of you girls AF was late, tested with the HPT and got a BFN, and then got a BFP in the end? I tested a few days before AF was due and this morning which is a day after AF was due and both times I got BFN.

I'm going nuts as my cycle is very regular 29 day cycle and today is day 30 and still no AF. I have been getting AF symptoms for the last week or so..I don't know if I am stressed as I have my upcoming FET in July and my body has decided to do silly tricks on me. The reason why I am a bit puzzled is that I got funny crampy/stabby feelings a few days after O (but no spotting) and I got suspicious as I never really get those sort of pains, only a bit of cramping at O time.... Any help would be very much appreciated :p

Beata.

Beata, I don't have any exerience with this. Although I would say it is possible if you implanted a little later/slower than what is usual. Try to relax, and if you still have no AF by the weekend perhap organise a BT to find out what's going on?

I'm praying so hard that this is your little long awaited Earth Baby, though :pray::pray:

Beata, I so hope there will be a BFP waiting for you in couple of days' time and you don't even need that FET! Hang in there hun...:hug:

I have a friend who didn't get a +hpt until AF was a week late. I think Teagz' suggestion of a BT if no AF by the weekend is good. :goodluck:

Hi Beata,

Sorry to hear you are stressed, I hope it is just a late implanter and AF stays away. Have you just come off an IVF cycle last month? My only other thought is that, for me the natural cycle following a stim cycle was always about 7 - 10 days longer, normally I have a 33 day cycle, but AF normally arrived around day 40 - 43 after stims, it seems the body just gets a bit out of wack.

Wishing you all the best, I hope it is a surprise BFP. xx

Beata... I'm on my first cycle post stim cycle. Stim cycle AF was on time, but this month I am already a week late with 2x neg hpt's. In my case it seems the stim cycle has really messed me up, I haven't been more than 31 days in 3 years so this is really pestering me too.
So I can completely understand your frustration.

Hopefully my IVF clinic will call me back tomorrow (that's when my fave nurse is in) so I can find out what's happening.

Hang in there because I am right there with you. (Going nuts).

Hi Girls,

Thanks so much for your replies. Still no AF, every time I go to the loo I expect to see it but there is nothing and no cramping....The thing is, my DF's swimmers' count is so low, I don't think there is any chance for a natural pg. I just think if I'm not UTD, I wish AF showed up so I can look forward to my FET in about 2 to 3 weeks! We just thought we'd give it a red hot go one more time before the FET and I actually did the ovulation test and found out I ovulated around day 16/17 so we really concentrated DTD around that time. Usually we DTD day 13, 14 & 15 so we were probably missing the most 'fertile' time :redface:.
I have only had one stimulated cycle in May 2008 which resulted in a pg with a 5 day old blastie, but I had a loss at 20weeks, and since then I've had a big fibroid removed in Jan this year and now I'm getting ready for my FET, which is my second (and last) blastie from that stimulated cycle.

Teagz, cuddlepie & juniper76 thanks for your advice girls, if AF doesn't come in the next few days I will do more investigating.

Baby Dreamtime, congrats on your pg hun! I sometimes lurk in the TWW and was very excited when you announced your BFP!

Sonya, GL for tomorrow hun. Have you just done a FET cycle recently?

I had my AF after my first stim cycle 5 weeks ago, my first FET will be when the darn witch decides to show up.
So I am very close in cycle to you I think.

Hey Sonia, I'm sorry you didn't get your BFP hun after your stim. cycle. I was very lucky to get it, but then I believe my body wasn't up to scratch to carry a pg to term as I had a pretty nasty fibroid.
I am now, like you, awaiting AF to have my FET. Wow, we are at a very similar time in our cycles! Like you, I just want AF to show up (unless God has other plans) so I can just move on and have another go. I've been waiting for so many months for my body to recover & heal from my op.

Did you have a go naturally in between cycles and that's why maybe AF is late and there's a chance you might be pg??? I truly hope so!! If not, don't worry too much hun, there is always next time and another apportunity for you to have your much wanted bub.

No pregnancy here hun, AF arrived today, and we are required to have a natural cycle before attempting an FET after the stim cycle.
Although, now we are thowing in an IUI instead as the Dr's are all away in the week I would be transferring so we don't have that option for an FET.
So, back to that drawing board, and life always has its own plans... I just wish I would know more about it some days :)
Sorry about the fibroid and surgery, waiting is such a trying time when you want something so much. Hope you get the green light soon.

B, Any news yet hun? I've been thinking about you non-stop!

Thanks Sonya. I'm glad AF arrived for you hun, and I hope you get your BFP with your IUI! You never know, I've heard of women getting pg in between cycles and I pray this one will be yours :pray:.

Teagz hun, it's still not here! I tested today (again) with a fancier type of HPT and still neg. I just wish I knew what my body is up to! I rang my IVF nurse today and she said it can be anxiety etc and it's making AF late. I just want it to come so I can do my cycle! Thanks for thinking about me hun, you're a sweetie. Not long to your big 12 week scan hun! How exciting! GL and let me know how it all goes sweets x

Hi lovelies,

Thanks so much for all your wishes and support girls, but I think AF is definitely going to be here tonight or tomorrow as I am getting quite crampy and a bit of spotting now.

At least I can look forward to my transfer now. Can't wait, wish me luck girls!!!!!

Big hugs
