I should have come on yesterday. I have never been late - even my DH said the only time I was late when when we had anovulatory cycle (chemical pg??) in December and was late by 10 days. I have been one day early once.

But that said, how often do you get negative the day after AF is due?

I am very disappointed and DH looked crushed this morning when the test was negative. I feel like I have imagined everything. My boobs seem bigger and yesterday they got sore. I mean - the science behind it is that the progesterone post ovulation grows until 10dpo (that explains any tender breasts initially). If there is a fertilised egg, the progesterone keeps increasing and that accounts for increasing breast sensitivity. If no fertilised egg, progesterone drops off. So WHY - 13dpo, would my breasts suddenly get sore??

I thought I might have implanted on Saturday - I had spotting and cramping. Even last night had some on and off cramping. Nothing like the dull ache that just increases in intensity.

Disappointed really. Feel like I am just letting myself and my DH down and I don't know how to fix it?

I read some can be two weeks late with BFNs before they get a faint positive line... so still keeping my fx for you kicking x

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 08:56

How many days late are you kicking? I remember you had regular cycles so it is odd maybe this one might take some time to turn into a BFP?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 08:37

should say not pregnant but then something else is wrong

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 08:29

good luck to you too :)

my waiting ended yesterday. chance of negative on result the day after af is due is small. not pg utter then something is wrong :(

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 08:20

hi everyone - some familiar faces here from the June BFP thread.
I have been lurking on this one but not posted yet as I have no clue whether I ovulated this month or not - not using OPKs or BBT, just monitoring CM - which was watery this month but no EWCM.

Regular cycles and 2 weeks till AF due. Had some minor OV symptoms late night on CD17, which makes me 2DPO today.

This morning minor nausea, mild cramps and feeling very tired. Not getting hopeful, DH and I are trying hard not to get excited.

Kicking good to see you here.... and keeping my fx for you :) The waiting game is hard.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 07:48

Still no AF
Still BFN

Had some tweaks and cramps last night. I never cramp before i am due.

Still kind of thinking in imagination land that i would have implanted on Friday if at all

everythinghappensforareason · 13/05/2012 20:25

I suppose if u prepare for AF then get BFP it'll be a lovely surprise kicking - does all sound so positive for you :o

gillin i hope my tests ive ordered are here for Wednesday, if not i might have too nip the chemist, FX for us all :)

KickingUpQuestions · 13/05/2012 18:49

My DH and I have decided to not talk about it. he is just as obsessed as me and just as excited. He is happy to do whatever it takes so i am lucky like that.

i did think implantation yesterday. it was the last day really that would have been a common day to implant.i am not getting my hopes up though.

i could still have AF though. answer self preservation has me waiting for af rather than positive test

Gillinthesticks · 13/05/2012 18:42

kickingupquestions it does sound like you're getting pg symptoms, spotting sounds like implantation bleed maybe? Maybe poas in the morning when (if you are pg) hormone levels will be at their highest?

Loving the idea of some testing buddies for Wednesday Everything and Goodyhoo FX for strength in numbers!

Dovebird I had to smile reading your earlier post about having to persuade DH to DTD! My DH was really busy with work in the days before I OV and we had some comedy moments of him saying "we can do it tonight, I'm saving them up for you" and me "Erm it's all about timing and I need them now!!" Aah the romance :)

Still think my symptoms are all in my head .. possibly more tired than usual, possibly feel a bit nauseous here and there (had this really early on with both previous mc) and boobs bit sore/bigger ... but then I have been pigging out this weekend so probably just put on a couple of pounds and feeling a bit nauseous because of pigging out!

Oh well, 3 more sleeps til I get to poas!! :)

KickingUpQuestions · 13/05/2012 18:12

i am sure i am not pg

but my breasts got sore today. i spotted yesterday - one or two brown drops. my cramps today are twinges and feel different to my normal dull numbing pain.

KickingUpQuestions · 13/05/2012 18:00

I am too scared to post. We bought Superdrug tests but i did it in the afternoon after a lot of liquid. either way it was negative.

I have a lot of cm today and still waiting for af

QueenOfTheRodeo · 13/05/2012 17:33

Thanks everything its giving me hope at the moment! I'm going to try my best to wait until AF is actually due on Tuesday before I test again with a HPT. I'll be 14DPO by then. Might do another couple of OPK tests in the meantime though just to satisfy my POAS obsession Smile

I think I started testing from about 8DPO too - the waiting is so hard isn't it!

everythinghappensforareason · 13/05/2012 17:08

Hi queen ive seen of people doing this, i think they usually use fmu. don't no what the difference is, supposedly they are meant to be positive if u r pg!

FX for u :o i caved again today aswel, its pointless im 8dpo. getting evap lines.
Ordered some better tests arriving Thursday. which is good, AF is due around then so lickely to get a more reliable result.

hate these cheapys never again. haha

QueenOfTheRodeo · 13/05/2012 16:15

Hi all, was hoping to get your thoughts on this - I caved again yesterday and tested again - BFN again unsurprisingly. Today I am 12DPO and got a real urge to test again but didn't have any HPTs left. I went a bit mental and decided to use an OPK instead and it was positive with a really dark line. I've done some reading and from what I can see an OPK should be positive if you're pregnant. But then it could also be a surge in LH prior to AF. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Have any of you used OPKs as HPTs before?

Hope you're all enjoying your Sunday and resisting the urge to test, unlike me!!

everythinghappensforareason · 13/05/2012 13:14

I thought so too! i hate myself for testing so early, just leads to dissapointment in my experience. i do hate these tests though. i went on youtube + a lady who was 10DPO posted a vid of her taking the exact test i did, it was a little darker than mine, but still so very light! she was pregnant :).. so ill just have to wait and see!

Weathers lovely here today (for once), DS has glandular fever :( so being busy with him will take my mind off whatever outcome. trying to stay positive!

When is everyone testing what dates? xxx

Happily I'm so jealous - it's torrential rain here, gale force winds and freezing cold (well almost). Was out this morning in full winter gear. I love a good BBQ - enjoy!

Kicking No change in symptoms here. Haven't had my dead giveaway yet though - dizzyness - if that happens I'll POAS straight away!!

Happilymarried155 · 13/05/2012 12:03

Kicking, sometime after all the stress of waiting, testing and not knowing I sort of feel a relief that at least now I know and I can start again for next month of you know what I mean!? Although some months I cry all morning others I think I know in my heart of hearts in not pregnant I just cling on to hope!
I still need to wait until Thursday, I don't feel pregnant tho (whatever being pregnant feels like!)

Hope everyone has a lovely day, sun is shining here do a BBQ it is! X

KickingUpQuestions · 13/05/2012 11:42

i am actually in a surpisingly good mood for AF arrival day so i can handle it.

i think we get so excited that we forget about implantation time. i certainly do.

how you today kitty?

KickingUpQuestions · 13/05/2012 10:30

morning!!

i didn't do atest but was lying in bed waiting for AF and decided to put pg out of my mind.

No AF yet but also feeling mild pressure so not convinced AF won't make an appearance

CountryKitty · 13/05/2012 10:04

Morning everything That sounds encouraging! If it's got colour I'd say BFP, if grey probably evaporation. Still very early tho so if pg hopefully a sticky one to show that early!

I've never used the 10mui ones, just the 30mui. I got them after my 1st mc as was told to keep testing until negagtive and wasn't going to waste £'s on proper tests. At 1,100mui the line was not as dark as you'd think it should have been (the hospital were monitoring levels too), same at 600ish. However at 32mui (hospital confirmed the exact level later that day) there was a line but it was very very faint, but it was def pink and not grey.

Keep us posted!

All this POAS action is making me want to! There is just no point me POAS before AF is due as LP on the shorter side so unlikey tests would pick HCG up that early. Also, I know that with my DC2 I tested early (DC1 a lovely surprise so later to find out) and had a really clear BFP and the two mc's didn't show up until after AF due (obviously not as strong from the start) and so don't want to go through all that worry again.

Kicking How are you getting on this morning? I hope AF stays away and you get your BFP!

everythinghappensforareason · 13/05/2012 07:15

I had some very mild cramping on thursday, would have only been 5DPO. I really don't trust these tests though, although their cheap i think id rather spend a little more on FR or CB. I think there evap or imaginary lines :) haha!

Ohh FX for you, its looking good that AF is keeping her distance:o

  • the spotting could be implantation? :)
OP posts:
KickingUpQuestions · 12/05/2012 23:57

Oooooh everything. when would you have implanted?

I have the best DH. he was napping during our superdrug test chat but i woke him to say we needed to go find a superdrug. he was up and blurry eyed and we legged about. didn't find one but decided i need fresh juice so went on a hunt for a smoothie maker. didn't win there either but feel better :)

i did an plantation calculator and that said i should implant sometimes between Thursday and today if i had a fertilized egg.

so i think i may come on tomorrow but it made today a bit easier to get through. oh plus i think i had obey dark brown spot and a twinge on the right. i am such a hyperchondriac.

everythinghappensforareason · 12/05/2012 19:41

dovebird i got positive opk a week ago thursday, and didn't ovulate untill the saturday (morning though) but as they say, anythings possible :) i'd still dtd, worth a shot? :)
