Bfn clearblue digital day before period...

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....

poppy I'm in the same boat at the mo! Period due today but no spotting or other symptoms. Either it's going to creep up with a bang tomorrow or there is a tiny chance I could have a bfp round the corner, bfn yesterday but not fmu. I keep getting little niggles, I want it to come if it's coming as the thought of a cycle longer than 35 days scares me. Also ttc no.2 but had low fertility when trying for no.1 so hp not holding out much hope as took 7 months to have dd who is now 3. And I'm older now,,,, let's try and stay positive?

Am going to head out in a bit and find a pharmacy, will hold out until tomorrow though. Still no sign of period but am convinced it will show soon!

Should be okay. I'd take it easy though until you're sure! I'd say you're still in with a chance though! I've heard the cheap store ones tend to be most sensitive!

Ah thanks tiny! I feel ridiculous, this is my second and I thought I would be v relaxed about the whole thing - clearly not! Also a little paranoid about the wine consumed over past few days, but as I thought I was out I just went ahead Hmm should be ok right? I'm going to chill out on that today...

You're not out yet! Some people just take a bit longer to get their positive. I got mine at 4+2, 4+4 and 4+2 for my pregnancies. BFN before that. I also know some people who didn't get a positive before 6 weeks or so. Test again tomorrow with FMU (yes it does make a difference!) and good luck Grin

Morning! I do hope i am in with a chance but don't want to get hopes up too much after yesterday's bfn! To be fair I did take it using about 3rd pee of day, very diluted - but shouldn't it work anyway?

I think you are in with a chance as the digis aren't very sensitive. I test positive with a Tesco hpt on 8dpo, not using FMU would you believe. I rushed out and got a digi and it said Not Pregnant. So I convinced myself the digi was correct and had a large glass if wine or five over Xmas. The digi was wrong!

Thanks. No sign of period this morning...I got my usual pre period moodiness but that seems to have gone now. All v odd. Period clearly just playing with me and keeping me guessing Hmm. I suppose I will take a test tomorrow if nothing happens today. Anyone else had similar?

Some people don't ever show positive on a urine HPT. Some don't show positive until they're officially late. You could also have ovulated late which means you aren't actually due yet.

Only way to know for sure is if you're still late after a month to see a doc. Personally I couldn't wait that long and went after being later for 2 weeks. It was negative and I skipped my period that month entirely.
