No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️

Hello! We are trying for our second child and I am frustrated. I am sure several of you can relate to being frustrated with this whole TTC thing. 😅 Anyways. AF was due 3 days ago and has not shown her ugly face yet. But I have also gotten nothing but negatives (and one invalid). I was planning on not testing again until AF is a week late. Anyone get their BFP that late or even later? I am irregular, so it could just be a late period? I just want to know if I really am pregnant or not, so I can move on! Thanks for any insight you all provide! 😊

@lastbany thank you , it's stronger than the other day so that's something it's just a waiting game now I suppose ! Either way I will be talking with the doctor on Monday cx

lastbany · 28/11/2020 22:31

@Donnat89 just to dive in here
Positive looks strong and good and lots of women have slight bleeding and usually nothing to worry about xx

Donnat89 · 28/11/2020 22:20

@HJen22 I know ! Thank you ! I will keep you all updated ! I was hoping on an early night tonight but can't sleep at all now ! So literally laying awake mind in overdrive ! X

HJen22 · 28/11/2020 22:05

@Donnat89 oh what a confusing and stressful time! Yeah I would do a digital and see what that says, wishing you all the best! X

Donnat89 · 28/11/2020 20:16

@sociallydistained I am really worried and so confused ? Will see what the digi says then go from there xxx

sociallydistained · 28/11/2020 20:10

Ah yes I remember now. That is a good idea. I bet you're worrying. It's not straight forward is it 🤦🏻‍♀️ wishing you all the best!

Donnat89 · 28/11/2020 19:53

@sociallydistained yea I had x 2 faint positives with FRER . Yea I've read that too , either way I'm going to have to speak with my GP but want to see what a digi says then least I can tell them and see what they think xx

sociallydistained · 28/11/2020 19:49

Oh @Donnat89 I hope not! People do have periods when pregnant it's more common than you think. Did you test positive before or is this the first bfp? (Sorry if you posted one before and I missed)

Donnat89 · 28/11/2020 19:46

@sociallydistained I feel so confused I'm gonna have to do a digital tomorrow morning and call doctor on Monday . Coz now I think my bleed WAS infact an MC cx

sociallydistained · 28/11/2020 19:41

@Donnat89 no denying that!

Donnat89 · 28/11/2020 19:29

I'm so confused 🧐

No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️
Donnat89 · 28/11/2020 15:30

So I bled for 2 days and now it's completely stopped so I am going to have to ring the doctor on Monday and have a chat !

@Darcy278 congratulations! Xxx

ImpatientMama · 28/11/2020 14:06

Had some egg white cm this morning. But I just stopped bleeding 2 days ago. It seems too soon to be close to ovulating already. But I don't know. We DTD last night, but I don't think that's what caused it. I dont usually have that sort of cm after that. Maybe we will do it again today so I don't miss my window, if it is for some reason so soon. 🤔

@ImpatientMama ahh ye I feel you my first two just happened!! Third more planned but still happened first try !
I also have opks should be here today better be!

ImpatientMama · 28/11/2020 12:23

Thanks ladies. I also got some opks last night. I think it will be worth giving them a shot. And I will at least have an idea of when I ovulate! Should be here Monday, so I will start then. I feel like I was more patient with this whole thing when we were ttc our first child. But I was also working at the time, so I stayed busy. I am a stay at home mom now and feel like I am focusing on this a lot for some reason. 🤷‍♀️

HJen22 · 28/11/2020 09:57

@HT1335 I know, I'm going to be so wary of late AF now too 😞 that long wait just wasn't fun! Yeah we just need to stay positive and busy and enjoy the festivities and hopefully this month is the month 🤞🏻🥰

HT1335 · 28/11/2020 09:49

@HJen22 according to my app my AF is due Boxing Day... but who knows! I don’t think I’ll ever get too excited about a late AF now unfortunately.
But I will try to be positive and hope for the best Christmas present I could ever wish for! ☺️

HJen22 · 28/11/2020 09:38

Long cycle*

HJen22 · 28/11/2020 09:38

@HT1335 yeah it is nice just to get out for fresh air! I'm due around the 20th according to my app, even after the lint cycle it's still predicting a 26 day period, so we'll see! It would be the best Christmas present wouldn't it ☺️

HT1335 · 28/11/2020 08:33

@ImpatientMama sorry to hear that but yes good luck with you plan! I’ve been walking more this week it’s certainly a good stress relief and something I need to keep up all month
My AF will also be due around Christmas week, I think anyways as it’s so unpredictable lately
Wouldn’t that be a lovely Xmas present for us all 🤞🏻☺️

HJen22 · 28/11/2020 06:59

@ImpatientMama I'm so sorry you've went through this, heartbreaking 😔 I hope the doctor was nice. You sound so positive, and great plans for this month! I hope we all get our christmas BFPs 👶🏼🎄🎁 your plans sound very similar to mine, prenatal vits, DTD lots and lots of walks. I've already had a few this week and it's helped clear my head a lot x

ImpatientMama · 28/11/2020 02:13

Well, the doctor visit went as expected. It was a chemical. 💔 But on the bright side, I am done bleeding and am going into this month with a positive attitude. I will make sure we DTD every other day, every 3rd day at the latest. Already did tonight. 👍 I am planning on getting some more exercise in as well. I was really good about taking walks several times a week when the weather was nice. Now that is is colder I have gotten lazy. We do have a bike and Peloton subscription, so I need to get back to that. Yoga at least once a week would be good too. And back to taking the conception pills, I stopped when I got my faint positive. AF is due around Christmas, so I am hoping Santa will bring me no AF and a BFP! Same to all of you!🤞
