Bfn clearblue digital day before period...

134 replies

Poppytime · 20/01/2015 21:12

I usually spot about 2-3 days before my period starts. Period is due tomorrow. No spotting. Bfn on pregnancy test taken this morning (but not first thing..). We are ttc number 2... I thought I was out after the negative digital test but with the no spotting it's keeping me on tenterhooks! I'm also on holiday at the moment and not sure if I should be drinking or not (not held back but not gone crazy...) what should I do? Test in a couple of days if no period? I figured a negative on the day before your period meant you are definitely out though? Sorry, really overthinking things....

Sorry, got your user name wrong Yellowbird82 xx

Hi @Yellowbird84. Don't be too disheartened, it's not unusual to have BFN if testing too late in the day and before AF is due. You say you've been trying for 3 years, so it's promising that you are experiencing different types of symptoms to normal. Try again on day of missed period with a First Response Early detection. Good luck xxx

Hi all, I’m new to mumsnet chat so forgive me if I don’t use all the correct abbreviations yet. We’ve been trying to conceive for a very long time now (3 years). Started fertility treatment last September (iui) for unexplained infertility with no success yet. Very sad when we had to stop in March. This month I had signs of implantation (spotting) 8 days after ovulation and very swollen breasts a week earlier than I’ve ever experienced pmt. I usually get this a few days before my period. I also had cramps yesterday evening which is not normal for me. I’m due my period tomorrow. Ive been so convinced that I’m pregnant for the last week but this morning I had very slight spotting, barely visible. I did a Poundland test at 3pm today and got a BFN. My heart is so broken.
I did have 2 decaf coffees and 2 herbal teas this morning so part of me is still clinging onto the possibility that it was too late in the afternoon to be testing and I’d had a lot to drink so hcg levels in my urine could be diluted and undetectable. I’ve also read that spotting is common in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Any thoughts would be really appreciated. I feel very alone/excluded these days as all my friends have children or are pregnant. Thanks. x

@Poppytime I am going through the same thing and it is driving me crazy. I have been trying for almost a year and I feel like this time it happened but I got a BFN.

Aly92 · 08/01/2020 22:37

I know it’s years later but neither updated how the scans went was everything ok

Hey rooroo! Sorry for the late reply - it's definitely possible! Any sign of period yet or have you done any more tests?

rooroo32 · 07/02/2015 21:55

Sorry just read full thread! Congrats to you both! I hope the same turns out to be the case for me!

rooroo32 · 07/02/2015 21:47

Hi could you tell me if either of you got BFP please? My period is late & no moral spotting signs but despite BFN am hoping I could still be in with a chance

alien11 · 07/02/2015 21:17

poppy how r u? When's your scan? Mines on Monday morning!so nervous

alien11 · 05/02/2015 20:06

Ive had spotting & cramps.eased now so going to see how it goes tomorrow.going to book a scan though.not sure when's a good time to do it?
Think I'll go to docs tomorrow if I can get an appt.doubt I'll get referred for a scan though

alien11 · 04/02/2015 17:21

Hiya Smile
I'm the same not many symptoms. Keep toying with the idea of an early scan around 10 weeks but pointless as 1) place doesn't do them when dh is home and 2) so close to the nhs one.
Not sure what to do.
I am feeling really really tired but other than that normal!

Hi alien! I'm ok, I don't have sore boobs or anything really....a little worried about that but should also count ourselves lucky I guess! I'm annoyed though as my docs don't appear to have faxed my referral to the hospital so I have had to ask them to do it again, was really looking forward to getting my appointment dates but now looks like it will be weeks until I do Hmm they better have space!! We have decided to have an early scan at 8 weeks, just to ease my mind! 12 weeks just seemed too far...but I don't think it is necessary, I'm just too impatient!

Hi poppy- how you doing? All my symptoms ( sore boobs etc ) have gone today causing me to panic! Can do Digi clearblue on Monday but such a wait until then Hmmam toying with early scan- are you having one?
Also I am still hungry but how am I supposed to not eat more food when constantly hungry?!

alien11 · 02/02/2015 13:17

Yes she's happy :) not told my dad yet....not sure how he will be! Yay yo 3+ on digi! I'm not getting one until,next week- I'll be glad when I've done this skiing holiday as can have spare pennies to last me lol. I am getting cramps now which as usual is worrying me.... Have you had any? I can't relax ever, constantly running around doing things, so now I'm laying on my sofa with dd eating lunch and watching rubbish kids tv for a bit, also seem to start the day with a flat tummy and now all flabby haha.
I'm tempted to get a scan at 10 weeks before we go skiing ...

Sorry you said you took a clearblue digital! Same that gave me a negative the day my period was due - I'm not sure they are all that sensitive, even though they claim you can test early

Hi Maz, I think as long as your period hasn't come there is still a chance! I didn't get a positive test, and faint at that, until a couple of days after I expected my period this time. If your period still doesn't come in a day or two I would definitely test again - try a first response one perhaps. What type have you used so far?

Hi I'm new here and in a similar situation.. AF was due a few days ago so on day of missed period i took a cheap pregnancy test which came back BFN. I also took a clear blue digital the next day which also came back BFN. I have had slight cramps for about a week now but no sign of AF. I had the same sort of cramps with first pregnancy where I thought my period was just around the corner so I didn't take a test for 2 weeks which came back BFP. I was 6 weeks pregnant when I took that test and at that point I was having textbook pregnancy symptoms (although did not make it past 8 weeks pregnant). Wondering if there is a chance I could be pregnant now if there is still no AF (despite the 2 BFNs). Confused

alien11 · 31/01/2015 20:12

Hiya :-) I also took couple of cheapie tests this evening and boom quickest strongest line ever! I think I'm around the same as you as last period was 18th dec but been having 35 day cycles.
I am missing my wine and coping on de caf tea! I am trying to cut down my chocolate intake but really struggling! Doesn't help that I made choc fairy cakes yday that keep staring at me!
Told my mum today who is delighted but had to control it in front of ddSmile

Hey alien! I think I'm 6 weeks next week, my last period started on xmas eve and I usually have 28 day cycles. I don't think it will feel real until I have a scan either, which is ages! Boobs starting to hurt a little and am sooooo tired. Took a first response yesterday on a whim and came up v quickly and dark so that satisfied me for oooh 48 hours?! Hope you are having a nice weekend? I could kill for a strong coffee right now...dammit!

alien11 · 31/01/2015 09:03

Yes I'm waiting for new cheapie tests to come through the post to triple check!!so paranoid . Trying to get positive and think reality is I have 6/7 weeks until I even know if there is a baby ! Boobs starting to hurt so that's good?! Although my nice bras I spent all my Xmas shopping vouchers on are not going to fit much longer Hmm
How are you doing?
We must be exactly the same - so 7 weeks next week? Lost track hahaha
Still feel fine!

On Monday yes...I guess I expected it to move up by now, but must stop testing! Leads to no good!!!

I think that's right isn't it as if you were 2-3 a few days ago? I haven't done anymore Digi s as don't have anymore. May buy one more in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to relax but so hard. I seem to be more worries with no.2 than 1, I think it's because I desperately want a sibling for her x

Got sore boobs with DD around 6 weeks and felt a little sick but not too bad. Panicking this morning as stupidly took my last clear blue digi and said 2-3 weeks, surely should be 3+ by now as over 5 weeks (just)? Have you taken any more alien ?
