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?

Freckles, me too, and it's exactly the same as when I was preg in sept/oct! Plus IBS type symptoms already - yuk. My DH tried to cheer me up by telling me I'm having a phantom pregnancy like our friends dog Grin which did actually make me laugh (I have a weird sense of humour).

I think I should test again in the morning before I go to my appointment as it would be really embarrassing if I get asked to try testing there and its positive - not sure though as I'll end up getting upset again!

Hi, same happened to me over nov/dec. af late, negative pg tests, negative hcg blood test at dr and finally 76 days later AF arrived! I usually very regular. So this was a bit of a shock. I have been ttc for almost 2 years now and thought this was my time Sad.

Purple - I'm still very much hoping I'm pg too.
Are you going to retest any time soon?

Girra - did they do any more tests on you at docs? how could they be sure?

Hi both. Lovely to hear from you. I've also (sorry TMI) been having a lot of creamy white cervical mucus last week or so which I have read can be another sign of being pg.
I'm going to re-test in the next couple of days...
Also having some cracking moods swings, bit of back ache and bloated crampiness.
Just want to know what's going on!

Me three!!! This is only my second ever post as I'm fairly new to mumsnet but I'm worried too so thought I'd post Smile

I'm now 5 days late and still no BFP - have also been trying the first response tests! This is my second cycle since ERPC in November following a MMC, but I had AF last month at 27 days post ERPC so thought this cycle would be ok. I've also got preg type symptoms - having just been pregnant, they really do feel the same and we were actively trying Wink

I've actually got a hospital appointment with a gynae tomorrow as MC follow up and referral re previous problems. I'm going to ask him the stats on this as I'm 50/50 between thinking I have another ovarian cyst vs pregnant - argh! But I'm dreaded telling him I think I'm pregnant when I have no proof, I feel I'll look stupid, esp if AF turns up straight away!

Likewise, it would be lovely to hear that it is still possible to see good news soon. I'll also report back with when he/she says to this question - fingers crossed for us all

Hi bluefreckles I have been in exactly the same situation. I've been off the pill since August and TTC since Oct. have had regular light periods until dec when I had nothing. I did 4 tests over 12 days, but had very few/minor symptoms like you. All were bfn. I went to the docs in the end. She did another test and told me I def wasn't pregnant after that much time. They didn't seem worried - put it largely to my body adjusting after the pill. They said, as long as I had had some periods since the pill they weren't worried and it could take 6-8 months off the pill before they find a cycle. They also said that, since I was irregular before going on the pill 10 years ago, they could be irregular again. Does any of that relate to you?

My doc told me to go back if I don't have any more periods for another couple of months but if they are just irregular keep doing tests!

It's really annoying because it gets your hopes up unnecessarily! I needed the push from the doc to say "definitely not" though cos I was driving myself mad thinking maybe it was just too early!

Hope this helps...you are not alone!
