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! 😊

@HT1335 oh that's confusing isn't it! One month I did the OPK strips and had a really clear peak up at the highest % the app had, but then another month the peak was no where as high. I really hope clear blue is easier! Yeah that's an idea to ask the doctor, hopefully they can do them if you explain you're not getting a peak result. Oh ouch acne isn't fun 😔

@ImpatientMama I hope your doctor is helpful and can give you some advise and guidance x

@Darcy278 wishing you all the luck with the next test!

HT1335 · 27/11/2020 17:47

@HJen22 yea I got high fertility the smiley flashing face to show I had high levels of oestrogen but never got my peak to show LH surge so I may still ask the gp to do some bloods for my LH and hormones
I’ve also broken out in terrible, sore acne which I know will be getting worse with stress, this is not a fun process!! Haha best be worth it in the end
@ImpatientMama sorry to hear that I hope the doctor is understanding
@Darcy278 good luck for the rest of the tests you take 🤞🏻

ImpatientMama · 27/11/2020 17:31

@Darcy278 thanks. It was my first chemical pregnancy and I was not expecting it at all. Apparently it is pretty common. The line may not be any darker that soon, but it will hopefully still be there for you!

@ImpatientMama I’m so sorry you went through that ☹️❤️ It’s like someone is playing tricks with us 😢 Thank you for that information, I will prob test again tomorrow morning as I’ll be too anxious to wait any longer xx

ImpatientMama · 27/11/2020 17:18

@Darcy278 I believe i just went through one. I have a doctors appointment today to see if she can confirm. I had a very faint positive a week ago today and tested negative two days later. Started bleeding a couple days after that. Which is all common with chemical pregnancies. That second line is pretty dark. I would test again in a couple days and see if the dark gets darker.

@Darcy278 it looks like a pretty dark line to me! I hope that it gets darker for you! Yeah it could have been an irregular cycle and late ovulation! I really hope this is good news for you ❤️ maybe take another test tomorrow? I'm not sure how many confirm it as such! This is all pretty new to me too, I had no idea about light lines and chemicals.

@HT1335 yeah I think I'll like these better as doesn't involve me taking photos or trying to figure out which % to go with! I found myself taking loads of photos of the sticks and going with the average! Which I guess isn't right! Did you get high but not a peak reading?

Darcy278 · 27/11/2020 14:40

@HJen22 well I’m not sure as then I had the MC I didn’t even know how late I was as my AF was so irregular. Maybe it’s gone back to being irregular again so maybe that’s why it’s not positive until now. I’m 6 days late today xx

@HT1335 I hope so I just hate being confused. I’m sure if I test again tomorrow it should be darker xx

HT1335 · 27/11/2020 14:34

@Darcy278 I’m am not sure about chemical pregnancies it all fairly new to me hopefully it’s just taken time to show the bfp?
@HJen22 yes onwards and upwards they won’t do any harm taking the vitamins and I did like the Clearblue ovulation I just didn’t get my highest fertility day for some reason but fingers crossed they work for you

HJen22 · 27/11/2020 14:26

@Darcy278 sorry I hadn't seen your most recent post! That's definitely a darker line!! You haven't tested positive that late have you, 5 days? And did you have confirmed ovulation, you maybe just ovulated later than you thought! Xx

HJen22 · 27/11/2020 14:12

@Darcy278 I see a line too!!! So exciting! Congrats!

Yeah I think I like Ovia better than Femometer, cos I paid for the upgrade of Femometer it gives like predictions and things which just gives false hope! My pregnacare tablets came today and just waiting for the clear blue ovulation tests. Onwards and upwards 😊

Darcy278 · 27/11/2020 14:12

Thanks girls! I just done another one as the line on the first one was going away! Can defo see it better on this one! But what if it’s a chemical pregnancy? Has anyone had one? Thinking that’s maybe why I’m testing positive so late? Really confused ☹️

No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️
HT1335 · 27/11/2020 13:47

@Darcy278 ooh I see a line!!! How exciting

I’ve tried numerous pre pregnancy ranging from Holland and Barrats (yuk they are big and smelly) to more expensive pregnacare ones I’ve been on them for months as has my partner I think the only thing we’ve got tried it lube and tracking bbt bug we’ve tried everything else with no success yet unfortunately

sociallydistained · 27/11/2020 13:11

@Darcy278 definitely see a line!

ImpatientMama · 27/11/2020 12:41

I use the Ovia app! I used it with my first and have been using it now too. I like it. I have not taken Concieve Plus, but I have taken Conception pills I found on Amazon. Worked for my first. Stopped taking them when I saw my faint positive this time. After I go to the doctor today, I will figure out when to start them again.
@Darcy278 I definitely see a line! Test again in a couple days and hopefully it will be darker! Congrats!

Morning ladies. I done another test this morning but I’m not sure...I need some extra eyes to help me xx

No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️
Darcy278 · 26/11/2020 21:41

@Bgrace8 I think I would get the lubricant as I am already taking pre-conception vitamins

HJen22 · 26/11/2020 21:32

Ah of course there is the lubricant too, I haven't actually read up about that, does it get good reviews?

@Bgrace8 yeah I've used the cheap test sticks before too and did BBT along with it, I think for two cycles and it confirms ovulation, DTD last month 3 times over the week including ovulation day with no luck. But I'm not sure I do the sticks right, I can get so many different results taking photos with my phone so I thought I'd try the clear blue and it will do the reading and confusing bit for me 🤞🏻

Bgrace8 · 26/11/2020 21:28

@HJen22 I used the ovulation last month and we DTD twice a day for 3 days over my ovulation and it still didn’t bloody work haha!! I’ll track again though because I like to know.

@Darcy278 would you take the supplements or the lubricant. I’m going to order some tomorrow and give it a go as literally most review I read is a success story!!

HJen22 · 26/11/2020 21:19

@Bgrace8 I haven't but I've had seven seas prenatal vitamins a couple of the months and going to try pregnacare this cycle! Anything is worth a try isn't it! Going to use clear blue advanced ovulation this month too! Tracking isn't for everyone but not knowing if id ovulated this month; after tracking previous, I think I'd rather know, but I chop and change my mind each month 😂

Darcy278 · 26/11/2020 21:10

@Bgrace8 I have heard really good things about conceive plus aswell! I’ve known about this product for a little while but wanted to see if we could conceive naturally again like last time. If this month is a no no then I think I may move onto these from next month! Xx

Bgrace8 · 26/11/2020 20:59

Have any of you ladies tried Conceive plus? Going to order some for next month as I’ve read soooo many success stories! @HT1335 @HJen22 @sociallydistained @ImpatientMama @Darcy278

sociallydistained · 26/11/2020 20:00

I thought my period was really late because up until last month I had a shorter cycle but last months was indeed 34 days so now I'm only 2 days late by that standard. My boobs are so sore and have been for weeks (not usually a pms symptom of mine). I'm just cracking on until next week now as I can't cope with the bfn.

HJen22 · 26/11/2020 18:57

@HT1335 oh sorry I thought fully here! I know the feeling! I'm feeling much better than yesterday, first day of AF always sucks, I'm normally a bit down in the dumps for days but I've been feeling like that the whole lead up so needed to be more positive now onto the next cycle x

HT1335 · 26/11/2020 18:52

@HJen22 Well it’s still sort of spotting today but it’s definitely on route, I’m still a bit disappointed but trying to be positive and relaxed.
Are you coping ok

HJen22 · 26/11/2020 18:43

@HT1335 it was a nice 10minutes, I just need to learn to switch off. I've tried meditation a few times before but find after a week or two I don't bother but I'm going to do this one every day, at least for the week and see how I get on! How are you coping with AF? X
