9 days late for AF but 2 x BFN. Anyone else been through this?

I am now 9 days late but have no BFP Sad
I did a pg test early morning on 3rd Jan = BFN. I then did a second pg rest after work on 4th = BFN. Both tests were 'first response - 6 days earlier'.
I'm now very confused and worried. Really thought I was pg but now not so sure.
I have no AF symptoms either. Very tired and struggling to concentrate, bloated stomach, occasional cramping and have been peeing quite a bit. Have felt a teensy bit queasy occasionally but why the BFN?
Has anyone been through this and got a BFP eventually?

Girra - were you on the pill?

Pharma girl, I'm afraid the only advice/comparison I can offer is that for the first year after coming off the pill every single period I had was different in terms of pain/duration/flow, I wouldn't worry unless the pain doesn't go away, it sounds like ovary pains but could also be IBS type irritation which can often feel the same and be caused by monthly cycles?

I'm no expert but yes, I think so... Smile

When I created this thread I should have named it 'Missed AF but BFN Bus'. Getting quite a following now!
Least it means none of us are alone Smile

This is very true, blue (hehe that rhymes)

Does anyone else imagine their reactions if they were to get a bfn just before testing?

Girraferama · 09/01/2013 20:24

Jellybean - you and I are having a rubbish evening aren't we Sad

As someone else said, we're not out until AF rears her ugly head. Smile

I'm on cd41 lol Monday will be 2 weeks late.

Girraferama · 09/01/2013 20:15

Thanks for the summary! Mine was due 21/12 so I'm well behind the rest of you Sad I tested again on 4th Jan with a BFN... Think I may be in the definitely-not-pg group.. Unless I end up like one of the mystery ones who finds out at 20 weeks! Ahh if only..

PharmaGirl · 09/01/2013 20:14

Stupid face sorry :-(

PharmaGirl · 09/01/2013 20:13

Boo 😣what's your cd?

JellyBeanDavey · 09/01/2013 20:11

A BFN!! Hmm Boooo....

JellyBeanDavey · 09/01/2013 20:07

Testing.... 3mins wait....[hmmm]

PharmaGirl · 09/01/2013 19:56

Jellybean was having 3-5 day Af before this one, but more like the ones u have while on pill more brown then red! Didn't mind getting Af yesterday as my cycle was getting better 28,42,35,34 & straighting out, don't know if its stress related or my mind playing tricks?! x

JellyBeanDavey · 09/01/2013 19:50

Pharmagirl, I haven't had that before. Every single period I've ever had have last 5-6 days or more, even after I came off the pill in October x

PharmaGirl · 09/01/2013 19:47

Hi all, got my AF yesterday which was 6 days late & it was my worst 1 since coming off the pill since August, nearly keeled over with pain, & AF was bright red ( sorry if tmi) but it only lasted a day?? Nothing today except feeling nauseous, bloated & have a pain on my right side?? 😞Anyone else had this?

JellyBeanDavey · 09/01/2013 19:47

Nice one, an Late AF bus! I like it Wink

JellyBeanDavey · 09/01/2013 19:45

Just bought a test, a clear blue digi one even though I wanted first response but Sainsbury's didn't have it Hmm just stopping off at Uncle Sams for some comfort food haha

PurplePoppySeed · 09/01/2013 19:43

Wow, i'm way behind on this thread now! Based on how the ttc threads normally go, i thought id try and summarise where we all are - So i think we now have the following people who are all late but still hopeful until AF arrives - Have I missed anyone? And did I manage to get any of the stats right?

Bluefreckles - AF due 29/12 (now CD 40)
Purplefairies - AF due 31/12 (now CD 43)
Purplepoppyseed - AF due 3/1 (now CD 35)
123234345 - AF due 31/12 (now CD ??)
Jellybeandavey - AF due 31/12 (now CD 41)
Girraferama - ??

Blitzy and Weewee both had examples where AF eventually arrived but Mrsstewpot, yellow, weewee's colleague and I've just found out one of my colleagues all had BFP's eventually.

I'm still not going to get too excited especially as you are all way further overdue than me, but I'm still keeping fingers crossed for all of us just in case!

yellowsnownoteatwillyou · 09/01/2013 18:55

did I test, oh yes I did indeed.about 10 pound shop tests, 2 clear blue and about 4 asda a ones. the day my pack of 20 tests from eBay arrived. I got BFP.

Hi Yellowsnow
No it's great to hear all aspects. Did you test before your BFP at all? Smile
