AF due today, still BFN. Anyone else?

Hi ladies,
AF was due today, and still testing BFN. I used a First Detection Early Response for my SMU. Right now I should be around 13-14 DPO. Am I out for this cycle? My cervix is still high, and soft. My CM has changed over the two days, it went from white "lotiony" consistency to now more watery. Is this something anyone else experienced before getting BFP?
I have had a few other symptoms of early pregnancy: I am feeling a twinge in my lower right pelvic side, I am a bit dizzy, intense thirst, and my body temperature is about a degree higher than normal. Maybe I am symptom spotting, but hopefully someone else had something similar.
Thanks

Another bfn this morning, around 2 weeks late and no sign of af 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Going to try and see a doctor tomorrow to find out what’s going on!

Hi ladies. Sorry to jump in but I literally read through every post on this thread looking for some answers lol. I feel like I've got every symptom there is except nausea thank god however, I'm still getting negatives. I've got sore boobs shooting pains in them they've gotten bigger, I've had mild cramping for over a week now and my back has been the same hurting constantly. I'm getting random twinges in my hip area my upper thighs and even around my vagina this morning lol. And I feel really wet down there aswell. Ive even started sneezing randomly which I read can be an early sign of pregnancy too. It's just all driving me crazy 😭 sorry for the rant lol

Now 8 days late and BFN this morning. Even got OH to give it a poke in the hopes it would come out 😂😂😂. X

Cycle day 51, of a 30-32 day cycle! Definitely not pregnancy Mother Nature just playing tricks on me

Congratulations to all bfp!

Maise24 · 24/03/2020 17:52

Aw sorry to hear that @Juno231.... hope you are ok! What a stressful time. I'm going to have a go at using ovulation predictors and temping this month as I'm not entirely sure I know when I'm ovulating so potentially just missing my fertile window!

Good luck in your TTC journey and congratulations again to those with BFP Flowers xxx

Juno231 · 24/03/2020 11:05

oops I spoke too soon - she seems to have reared her ugly head now! Onto the next cycle I go...

Solomon1212 · 24/03/2020 10:42

@buckingmad its horrible. Ive still got the sore boobies but literally nothing happening. Its so frustrating. I think i ovulated a bit later last month as i was really poorly but im never this late. X

buckingmad · 24/03/2020 10:41

@peachypetite No I was using cheapies and thought I had seen a faint line this morning but AF has just decided to suddenly show up in the last 10 mins along with painful cramps.

Although is quite a low flow for me but trying not to think anything of it and just get on with it now it's shown up.

peachypetite · 24/03/2020 09:56

Hi girls are you testing using FRER?

buckingmad · 24/03/2020 09:47

@solomon1212 I am the same as you. 7 days late now and still BFN. Had sore boobs a few days ago but have eased off now.

Solomon1212 · 24/03/2020 09:42

Im now 7 days late. Still BFN on test. I have no idea whats going on but guessing stress x

Juno231 · 24/03/2020 09:34

Hello - just updating to say still no AF on my part! Was due on Sat morning so 3-4 days late depending on how you see it. All tests still saying BFN but I think I'd be crushed if AF was to show as I've gotten my hopes up.

Maise24 · 24/03/2020 09:01

Morning ladies,

Well the bleeding seems to have stopped now! Am I being absolutely ridiculous if i do a frer in a few days if it doesnt start again?

How is everyone else getting on? I think it might be to do with stress to be honest, feeling so anxious and unsettled now. Sending baby dust and good vibes to you all xx

peachypetite · 23/03/2020 19:29

Thank you lovely. Definitely have the wine and anything else you fancy.

lt01234 · 23/03/2020 19:26

So sorry to hear you think it might be af 😞 Sending lots of positivity your way 🌸

Maise24 · 23/03/2020 19:23

Yes very much so! I'll wait and see what happens. Ive made my peace with it being AF - having a small glass of wine tonight as feeling utterly fed up! Really happy for you with your BFP - hope mine is round the corner soon too :)

peachypetite · 23/03/2020 19:18

Ah ok. All my periods recently have started with light spotting before starting fully. Bodies are confusing things aren’t they! :(

Maise24 · 23/03/2020 19:11

Well judging by my natural cycles app it should have been at some point over the weekend. I had some sharp stabbing pains on Saturday and mild cramping but nothing since then, I was really shocked when I wiped and there was some pink! It was there for a couple of hours but has stopped now. I'm assuming its the start of late AF however literally every other period I've had in my life has always started in the morning when I wake up and been heavier then, so I'm just confused! Maybe as I approach my 30's its all changing..?! Confused

peachypetite · 23/03/2020 19:04

@maise when is your period due?

Maise24 · 23/03/2020 18:50

Bleeding has stopped now? Bizarre! Confused

Maise24 · 23/03/2020 15:26

Well I just went to the loo and when I wiped there was some pink blood so looks like I'm out! Why do our bodies play these tricks on us?! Xx

lt01234 · 23/03/2020 08:58

My husband things the same, he finds it so funny that I keep testing every day and can’t work out why I can’t just leave it until Thursday 😂
Fingers crossed for you all too! You’re definitely not out until af shows up 🌸 The current situation with Coronavirus is adding to the stress and making it harder to relax, I’ve been finding it really hard to switch off and being home more is making the urge to keep testing worse 😂 The uncertainty of everything is really difficult, but we’re not alone and we need to be kind to ourselves xxx

Maise24 · 23/03/2020 08:45

I have also been reading those! My OH thinks I've lost my marbles, he doesnt get it... he keeps asking how the mums net club is lol.

Fingers crossed for you ladies!! I suppose we arent out till AF shows but this waiting is killing me. Slightly worried as I had a random 40 day cycle the other month too, but my GP did all the hormone tests and a transvaginal scan to check my ovaries and uterine walls, nothing wrong there so perhaps stress? Or I've put on about a stone in the last 6 months, taking my BMI into the overweight range so maybe it's that.... or maybe I should give myself a break and try to relax Hmm xx

lt01234 · 23/03/2020 08:42

That’s interesting! I am currently using the natural cycles app, hadn’t heard of Ovia, I’ve been using the thermometer and tracking temperatures but my temperatures are all over the place. Natural cycles has pinned it down to roughly a week where I could of ovulated but not the exact day/s 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I am day 51 of this cycle now 😩
