Due on today and done a Clearblue test. It was BFN. My friend recently did 2-3 CB tests which were negative even after a week without her period. She did a digital one and its positive. Shall I try a different test or just wait some more?

Hi I'm new to this but going round the twist with negative tests and thought id seek some real advice! My cycle normally between 29 - 32 days so find it hard to pin point exactly when I should test. 32 days is 2row but clearblue test negative today!! Been having spotting for 9 days until yesterday boobs are a little sore but no more symptoms!!

Hi ladies. Just to say that AF was due on a Fri, and I didn't get a BFP until 11 days later!

I think I've decided that period is not coming, ever, and that I'm not pregnant either, but halfway through the next cycle already. This may just be a ruse to keep myself sane -- have to see how long I can hold out on that thought, because I seem to change my mind about everything all the time!

Pigs if your longest cycle is normally 30 days then I guess you could wait till Monday and test then. If you can hold out that long!

Like the underwear idea Splinters, might try that myself (though still hoping that I might be pg despite the BFN!). Might treat myself to a bottle glass of wine tonight as commiseration. It's so tempting to keep buying tests and use them (though what I think its going to do I have no idea - after all one is either pg or not). That being said, Clear Blue digital are only £8 for 2 at Morrisons ATM so have stocked up for future moments of early testing stupidity.

Good luck to both of you. Keep us posted :)

Hello .
Four days late here (was due Monday) and I got a BFN yesterday. I'm not testing again. I'm usually very regular so it's confusing. I know I'm not pregnant so I wish my period would turn up so we can try for DC#2.

Splinters · 18/05/2012 16:16

Pigs -- yeah, it's number one (or will be, it ain't anything at the moment), and I am much much more impatient than anyone else in the world!

I've been using the Boots own brand ones which cost sth ridiculous like £4.50 for one or £5.20 for two, so I've still got one in the box at home. But I'm resisting it, because I've already tested at 6 days, 7 days and 9 days late, and nothing, so what's the point? Am wearing white underwear today to try to tempt my period to start out of spite. No luck with that either so far..

mrsbugsywugsy - I have had irregular periods since I started aged 15 except the last 4 months where I have been 28-30 days. Today would be 28 days so potentially it is just a longer cycle? It doesn't help that al the early pregnancy symptoms I get are also identical to my pre-menstrual symptoms.

Splinters, let us know when you have some news. Which HPTs did you use? First baby? I am TTC no.3 and am v. impatient!!

Have absolutely nothing useful to suggest, just wanted company.. Also I like guinea pigs VERY MUCH and am therefore v attracted to you OP.

I have been waiting for my period to turn up for twelve days now, with three bfns. We were on holiday in the middle of nowhere so I didn't get round to testing until I was six days late, and since then nothing has come of nothing has come of nothing. I feel pretty much like normal and would rather just have a period now so I can get back to trying again. Would any soothsayers like to tell me what's going on?

Apols for hijack. Good luck OP, and tell us what happens next!

How regular are you?
Wait till tomorrow and test again with your first wee of the day.
