If my period is due on Saturday and a pregnancy test today was negative - what are the chances?

I really feel like we've failed again this month.

An early pregnancy test was negative today - we've got no chance have we?

There's always a chance! I got bfn's up until the day my period was due... And four month old DD is asleep in her crib right now!

Do you know how many DPO you are? I think that is a better test. If you are 14 DPO and getting a negative with FMU, then I think it is unlikely.

Sorry, pressed send too soon .. it's unlikely you are pregnant if you are getting BFNs at 14 DPO, but not impossible - some people just have a slower build up of HcG.

Last month for us was really weird. I got an OPK + on day 20, and expected period about day 32. No AF by then, so took tests, all BFN.

AF eventually turned up on CD38 - unheard of.

Best of luck to you, and courage if AF does turn up.

Thanks everyone.

I don't think it's going to happen. I just haven't 'felt' pregnant. (Not that I would know what that feels like).

I don't know which day I ovulate, but my cycle is 28days.

It was really difficult trying this month as I was ill and so it was painful - now it feels like it was a lot of pain for nothing. (I normally enjoy it - it was just a bad month).

With both my pregnancies I only got a faint line a week from when my period was due, and I know alot of people who do, it all depends when you ovulate, my SIL fell pregnant the day she thought her period was due, was always regular but that month for some reason she ovulated late so if she hadn't been pregnant it would have been her first late period she is 39. Because of this she got BNF's for two weeks after her 'period was due'.Good Luck xx

Hi,
Just to say it is still possible, I was due Wednesday and did a test on Monday at 12 dpo with a Superdrug early test - came up as BFN so thought that must be it as I'm always hearing how great they are - anyway upshot is still no AF on Weds so did another (Superdrug) test and got a BFP.
Good luck

hang in there and try not to stress!

I'm sure my stressing last month was why AF was 5 days late and I wasted loads of money doing tests and got BFN's but still got my hopes up as I was late and was then sooo disappointed when AF came. I'm sure if I'd been more relaxed it would've helped!! Feel for you!!

Thanks BlueCrane. Sorry to hear about last month - how have you got on this month?

It's so so difficult not to stress or think about it all the time.

How are you doing pecka33 ? Did AF arrive?

Congrats Grubbalo

I just wish AF would arrive so I can get on with starting again.

Think I'm just entering the 2ww...but that also depends on whether my normal cycle is 30 or 35 days after last months oddity! I had a docs app in the middle of the 2ww last time about something else but I took the opportunity to ask about PG tests etc and she said that in most people the hormone level doubles every 48 hours but in some people it's 72 hours and since we all often start with a level of around 5 and a lot of tests don't pick it up til it's around 50 [I think] then that can make quite a difference. Also, if the implantation takes place quite late then that can slow it down further! Really hope you get an answer soon choco!!

I think our bodies do it just to annoy us - eg 'ooh she's waiting for a BFP so I'll hang in for another day or two before unleashing my evil red tide of doom, just for a laugh...' Hmph. Sorry, got no words of advice, except it seems from reading MN that anything is possible so don't give up hope just yet!

You made me lol with "evil red tide of doom" MrsSatsuma.

Thanks for the support. Today, I've been having period-like feelings but no AF, bloody thing. I just wish it would get on and be over with.

Oh Chocolocolate, I keep looking on here and crossing my fingers for you... are you normally late? I don't want to get your hopes up but this time last week I was absolutely certain AF was on the way, I had terrible cramps etc. This is my third pregnancy and the only thing that has ever been in common as a "symptom" is that in each case I thought the way I was feeling meant that I couldn't possibly be pregnant.

I really have got everything crossed for you xx

I am stil keeping fingers crossed for you Choco..

I am due on today.. so far not arrived.. and I am regular as clockwork.

Its my birthday so I am really really hoping for a BFP as a birthday present but both the superdrug tests I used this morning were faulty... grrrrrrrrrr.

chocolocolate - I read this an in exactly the same situation. TTC and AF is normally always 28d so was due on Thursday. Took a clear blue early HPT on Tuesday. got a BFN. Then tested again on Friday and still BFN.

Since Thurs have had light spotting (brown and pink) and today, really bad cramping, but still no period. Still awaiting the 'evil red tide of doom' :) not sure about wasting my money on a 3rd test. Hate this waiting and hope we both get news one way or another :(

Still no AF but BFN! I'm not very hopeful though.

I was ill when I should have ovulated. Could that have made ovulation late, or perhaps stop me ovulating at all?

I am normally regular.

That does sound promising knitterati - keep us updated.

Thanks for the support everyone - I'll let you know.
