I'm 30 and have been trying for a baby. My doctor has advised me to do a home pregnancy test every month to check.
I've always had long cycles (40 days). However this time my period is 2 months late. I had some spotting when I was due in the first missed month. I also feel very tired these days and have sore breasts.I had done about 6-7 pregnancy tests which were all negative. My doctor has asked me not to worry about it..I'm not sure what to do
I suggest seeing a doctor who specializes in reproductive endocrinology. When I was first trying to conceive, the same thing was happening to me (long/irregular cycles, spotting, negative tests). I kept thinking I was pregnant but pregnancy tests were negative. My ob/gyn ordered a "thyroid" panel blood test, which showed I had abnormal thyroid levels. She referred me to an endocrinologist who ran more test and diagnosed me with hashimoto's thyroiditis. I started taking synthroid to regulate my thyroid levels. After that, I was pregnant within 2 months. Best wishes!
