Hi guys, basically I am due on today, my periods have been abit all over the shop recently, but I am due on today, anyways I feel as if I'm about to come on but I haven't, usually I wake up in the morning and af has arrived, but I feel quite nauseous, tired, crampyish, but no blood yet? I've took a test and it's negative, I'm so confused

I was sure I was getting my period when I first got pregnant, I wasn’t trying to conceive so I guess I never suspected as much.. but everyday I woke up with strong period pains thinking that that day I would be getting it.. I only took a test once my period was late for 10 days.

I thought I was coming on my period when I found out I was pregnant. I was dying to be pregnant so was really sulky as I had typical period and back pain and sore boobs and though great another month when it didn’t catch. After about a week of waiting I thought I’d just do a test to prove to myself we would have to keep trying and was really surprised to see it was positive. The period like pains carried on for a few weeks after that and currently 22 weeks Smile

Yes. I thought I was having the worst and longest bout of PMT ever.

@Mumr19 I had the period style pains a full week before I got a positive, so you aren't out the running until AF turns up or you get your second line. I keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

Yes, I had this for the first 5, maybe even 6 weeks. My early pregnancy symptoms were exactly the same as I normally get when AF is due.
Even after my BFP, I was still convinced I was going to see period blood everytime I went to the toilet (I never did and I'm now 33+4)

@Katbaby
@sel2223 thankyou girls!
@sel2223 that's exactly how I was with my little boy! I put it down to my anxiety and being scared there was something bad going to happen, my oh is going to the chemist now to get me a first response x

Yes I remember being in a really bad mood when I thought I had bad period pain and was coming on. Id taken a test a few days previous and it was negative. I was on holiday at the time. Got home and was indeed pregnant. He's nearly 9 now! Fingers crossed for you.

Im currently 8 days late and feeling dizzy and sick, tired and like i normally do the day before af. How do tell the difference between just being late and anything else?

sel2223 · 29/06/2020 13:54

@Bb90 by doing a test

Yes, I felt really crampy before I got a positive test and continued until about 8 weeks. Less so with subsequent pregnancies.

@Mumr19 I was 7 days late and the test was still saying negative (I’ve never missed a period in my life), took about 10 day’s after I was due to get a positive so just keep trying if you don’t come on! I’m not 12 weeks, good luck!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Mumr19 maybe wait a few more days? When we found out I was literally 2/3 weeks pregnant so was super early.. you may be really early so not enough hormones to be consistent yet! Everything crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

OP, the clear blue digitals are the least sensitive tests IMO so useless for early detection.
Could your hubby not get a FRER? I found the coop early signs ones good too.
And wait till the morning now to retest as FMU tends to be the most concentrated.
