No period but BFN

Morning everyone
AF was due Fri/Sat but so far no sign - usually like clockwork however I have tested up to yesterday and all tests are negative, I tested yesterday with a clear blue early detection digital and nothing. I was really moody on Friday night & had slight period pains so thought AF was definately make an appearance on saturday morning but so far not even any spotting - do I keep testing? Really confused why my period is late as this doesnt usually happen to me and with all tests coming back negative I can't work out what is going on down there!
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks all xxx

ah yeah @MAS50 it definitely feels like it drags when u only get a few days worth per month! still early days i guess, and plenty of time to get that BFP soon i hope!
same as u both, 1st baby too, eeeek. just suddenly realise how clueless we are, ive only just got used to all the TTC acronyms, google is being my friend right now...what did ppl do before we had this!?
OH super happy @MJM1608, shocked but happy..think id convinced him we were out this month as felt AF on way!! how about u?!

MJM1608 · 10/09/2020 21:13

@MAS50 Aww thank you! Have also heard tesco tests are unreliable - maybe you could get a FRER? We started trying in March too - feels like we were trying forever but in reality wasn’t that long, doesn’t make it any easier!!

@leftitlate37 is this your 1st baby too? How you feeling & how did your partner react? 😁

MAS50 · 10/09/2020 20:18

Yes, no. 1 for me. Came off the pill in December but AF didn't come back until March so it feels like its been longer than in probably has been!

leftitlate37 · 10/09/2020 20:14

aaah yeah defo stay hopeful @MAS50! sure ive seen some folk say the tesco ones don't always give the right reading, so maybe try again with another brand?! keeping everything crossed for you. r u TTC no 1? x

MAS50 · 10/09/2020 17:52

@hopefully2021 fingers crossed you get the BFP in the morning x

MAS50 · 10/09/2020 17:49

Oh and congrats @leftitlate37 and @MJM1608!!!!!!

MAS50 · 10/09/2020 17:47

Hi ladies I'm in a similar position to you and this thread is keeping me hopeful. I was due on Monday/Tuesday and had 2 BFNs from Tesco tests. I'm never late, don't feel like I'm going to come on but also no pregnancy symptoms other than sleeping a lot.

leftitlate37 · 10/09/2020 13:56

ah thank you both!! little bit stunned I won't lie....!! @hopefully2021 keeping everything crossed for u i really am, would be ace if this was 3rd positive too! please please keep us posted :) xxx
@MJM1608 keep everything crossed as well this all goes smoothly...be nice to keep in touch thru these threads and see how things r going! really hope hubby can go with u to the private scan...covid having a lot to answer for!! x

@leftitlate37 omg!!! That’s amazing!!! ❤️❤️ Congratulations!! You must be further along than me. Absolutely delighted for you! xxx

leftitlate37 · 10/09/2020 12:16

ermmmm so...this happened :o !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh no way thats so typical u pay for that and then get tested! glad u managed to not lose the money though....!

No period but BFN
MJM1608 · 10/09/2020 12:07

@leftitlate37 I got my positive test this time yesterday on a FRER so if you’ve not peed in a while it might show up!! 🤞🏼 How many days dpo are you?
We had booked and paid for a private fertility check up & my hubby’s appt yesterday was the reason I tested! So I asked if I could change my appt to a scan since we’ve already paid. I don’t actually know if hubby can come, I think he can since it’s a private clinic! My appt with midwife I have to go alone then 12 week scan he’s allowed to come. Xxx

leftitlate37 · 10/09/2020 11:58

haha @MJM1608 i dont think im gonna have any willpower now there is a box sat there.... !!!
oooo exciting re private scan, thats ace!! whats the deal at the mo, is private the only way u can get OH there too or NHS allowing with covid etc now? hope the 2 weeks doesnt feel like the TWW and take forever...!x

MJM1608 · 10/09/2020 11:55

@leftitlate37 well done for having the willpower to hold off testing!! If you’re doing one, I would do it tomorrow morning first thing 😊

@hopefully2021 I’ve read on here the tesco tests aren’t very reliable so don’t feel down about those negatives!

I’ve read that dreams are a symptom! How funny, maybe it’s a good sign for you both!! Got my 7 week scan privately booked for 2 weeks today eek. Let me know how the testing goes!!🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

@leftitlate37 your symptoms sound promising! I haven't had the sore boobs but thats apparently one of the main symptoms if you are pregnant, strange that we have all had the vivid dreams - mine were petty much everyday all of last week - well if your passed your due period then you can test at any time of the day as long as you haven't had excessive liquids, I'm just holding out until tomorrow as that will be a week late so should definately be given the right answer - I expect it to be negative but @MJM1608 is giving me hope at the moment Smile
good luck with your testing - let me know how you get on xxx

leftitlate37 · 10/09/2020 11:23

hi @hopefully2021! yes same, just feel like AF due any moment but not...so far! had really really sore boobs for the last 2 weeks, but sometimes I do, sometimes i dont...but am surprised about how painful they are and how long been going on for. and like u just faint cramps really, and sore back...but often have that! it just could all reasonably point to AF coming! oh and just 2 nights of v v vivid and weird dreams!!
i got some tests earlier yeah, argh...dont need a wee yet (which is unlike me haha)...does it need to be a specific time of day?! daren even look at instructions yet! really keeping everything crossed for us! so u going to wait to test again til tomorrow?? x

hopefully2021 · 10/09/2020 11:07

@leftitlate37 have you had any symptoms or you feeling anything? I just keep feeling like I'm coming on my period got very faint cramps - have you been out to buy any tests yet? I'm going to test in the morning as that should give me a clear answer, wishing you all the best! I'm hoping we all get good news this month xxx

@MJM1608 thank you, fingers crossed! I used a pack of 3 clear blue and then 2 cheap tesco branded tests but didn't always test in the morning - I tested yesterday afternoon on a tesco test but wasn't a strong wee & of course came back negative, I'm going to pick up some First response today for the morning xxx
Thats amazing news! at least you don't have too wait too long either to have piece of mind that everything is okay with the bubba Smile
thats funny, that was one of my symptoms all last week - kept having very vivid dreams, I usually can't really remember my dreams but was waking up and having to tell myself that the dreams didnt really happen but they have stopped now, hopefully its a sign! I've been peeing lots too but don't know if I'm just over thinking and making myself go constantly xxx

leftitlate37 · 10/09/2020 10:31

awww @hopefully2021, kinda same boat as u, just haven;t actually tested yet. Was due Monday, but figured sometimes something throws them awry so tried not to get convinced it might be something other than AF just being late.
Weird @MJM1608 I had some v v weird dreams earlier in the week, disturbing actually haha. is that a strange symptom u can get?!
so ive just been to buy a test, so think i might test later and put myself out misery either way! congrats on your BFP by the way, thanks for putting your other post up, defo gives people hope!!

MJM1608 · 10/09/2020 10:19

Ahh really hope it’s a good outcome for you!! Which test are you buying? I’m in Scotland so there’s 2 local to me, only been TTC 7 months but we thought since we can afford to pay why not get a general health check. She has now transferred my check up appt to a 7 week scan which is amazing since we have paid already!

Other symptoms.. bad dreams lol! Peeing lots, feeling slightly nauseous and thinking I was going to be sick during work outs! You feeling anything? ❤️

hopefully2021 · 10/09/2020 09:54

@MJM1608 thank you :-) I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow morning, if it's negative tomorrow then I think that should be pretty solid that I'm not but we will see xxx
OMG no way!! I've been googling those - where did you book yours? how long have you been TTC?
Did you have any other symptoms apart from feeling like you were going to come on your period?xxx

OP posts:
MJM1608 · 10/09/2020 08:54

Aww thank you ❤️ Your brain just goes 1000mph!! Really not how I expected my day to go yesterday 😂 I know what you mean - it’s that limbo land where you don’t know what’s going on!! No AF is hopefully a good sign though! I actually tested yesterday about 12pm but usually do FMU. Hope you get some answers!!

We actually paid for a fertility MOT and my hubby’s appointment was an hour before the test, thought I’d take it just incase & it was bloody positive!! We just paid £500 if you didn’t laugh you’d cry 😅😅 xxx

@MJM1608 try and relax hun & take it all in - you have definately made me feel better, I really hope I get good news too or at least just have a period so I can start another month of trying! I was due on last Friday/Sat too, have you been testing first thing in the morning? Going to test tomorrow morning then if negative, I'll test again on Tuesday morning as my doctor is calling me for a follow up and has said to test in the morning so we can rule it out xxx

MJM1608 · 10/09/2020 08:43

@hopefully2021 thank you so much! Totally in shock and not sure what to do with myself now 😂 that’s how I felt & still feel like I can feel blood but nothing there, hopefully a good sign for you! ❤️ I was due on last Friday & didn’t get my positive until yesterday (6 days late). Let me know how your testing goes! 🤞🏼🤞🏼Xxx

@hopefully2021 OMG thats amazing! congrats Smile, you must be over the moon!
Still no period for me, I keep feeling like I am coming on but not even the faintest bit of blood still - I am going to pick up some tests today but I honestly dont think I am, when was you due on & when did you get your first positive again?xxx
