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 how strange is that! This whole cycle is out of whack, I normally spot the day before or late in the evening, and then full flow is here in the morning. I guess not every cycle has to be the same, be easier if it was though!

At least we have answers, and I think I'd accepted the fact I wasn't going to get a BFP after the BFNs last week, still gutting though as would have been amazing if we had all got them after this nightmare wait!

Yeah I'm going to see what my bf thinks. I know he feels the pressure and I also do during the TWW so maybe we both need a little time. I definitely obsess over it more and can be quite miserable a lot of the month! So that's not fun for him either! A massage is a good idea; I really enjoyed the one I had last month! I might get one too!

HT1335 · 25/11/2020 08:50

@HJen22 I have just started light spotting literally how strange! But on the other hand I now have my answer I wish it had just been on time as it has now delayed things even further.
We’re the same do we buy the kits or just relax and dtd as and when we want to, or not even think about it until jan. I don’t think I’ll be able to leave it until jam if I’m honest so I think we will just relax and dtd at random times and see if that approach works.
Also try not to be stressed I need to book in for some massages or something!!
Good luck to everyone 🤞🏻

HJen22 · 25/11/2020 08:41

That should have read I read that post too! Crazy long time to wait!!

HJen22 · 25/11/2020 08:40

@sociallydistained I read that post you! So it does happen! I'm sorry it was a bfn, keep testing though and you're still not out it AF isn't here!

I can still see a faint line @Donnat89 try again in two days when I think they say the levels of hcg will have doubled?

@HT1335 I'm sorry 😞 it's so mentally draining not knowing isn't it! This month even more so for all of us since it's dragged on so long. You're still not out til AF arrives either though!!

Well I think AF is on the way, had some very light spotting when I first got up. It's crazy cos if I ovulated really late like my app will now predict, I wouldn't really have had a chance anyway as it was a few days before AF was originally due so I thought we could relax with DTD. Cruel body! So I think we have three options, have a rest and start again new year, just DTD every 2/3 days the entire month until AF or properly track with OPKs and BBT to confirm ovulation again. Who knows what's best!

sociallydistained · 25/11/2020 08:37

Just feeling completely demotivated and think I will until AF arrives. It's hard to be stuck in limbo!

Donnat89 · 25/11/2020 08:21

@HT1335 agree ! This forum has been a god send to me tbh ! It's nice to be able to talk to people who know how you feel . I really hope we all get some answers soon .

I'm going to try hold off testing again until Friday if still no AF as should then have a strong line if positive ! X

HT1335 · 25/11/2020 08:16

Yes that’s what I said to my bf, if we had an answer fair enough we would accept it and move on but it’s so strange that I don’t have an AF
Well none of us do! It’s good that we can talk on here and get some support as I think our stress levels would be much higher if we couldn’t
Good luck to everyone

Donnat89 · 25/11/2020 08:05

@sociallydistained that's soo annoying , I'm on CD 30 now I usually have 27 day cycles give or take a say either side so now how you feel it's horrible cxx

Donnat89 · 25/11/2020 08:04

@HT1335 thanks hun I really hope you do too ! Our bodies can be so cruel !

It's the waiting and not knowing that I hate ! X

HT1335 · 25/11/2020 08:02

@sociallydistained oh try not to get too disheartened although it is really hard not to feel totally fed up whilst this turmoil is ongoing.
I have also used a boots test again this morning and it’s another bfn 😟 and no sign of AF so now I really don’t know what to think apart from my AF is just being cruel and I wish it was here as now I will have no idea what’s going on with my cycle etc. I am trying to be positive but some days it’s hard to be
@Donnat89 I hope you get some answers on Friday I am
Going to request a doctors call for tomorrow as I’m at work today

Donnat89 · 25/11/2020 08:00

Also in person it does have colour photos make it look like a grey line ! X

Donnat89 · 25/11/2020 07:59

So no AF and another faint line on FRER !?

Hasn't got any darker either so really don't know what to make of it ? I hope this isn't another chemical 😢

I'm wondering if I ovulated later than I thought ?

Another day of waiting I suppose !

Tested this morning, another bfn Hmm was a first response but not a frer. I will get some of those next but I guess test in a few days if no AF. CD36 still feeling twinges in stomach and nausea on and off all day. Very sensitive boobs. Makes no sense.
I'm worried I'll be someone who just never tests positive even if they are pregnant leaving me in this constant state of unknown and unable to move on with my life 😩 someone on here wrote they never tested positive but picked up on scan at 10 weeks! ... on the other hand a stupidly late AF which is giving me pregnancy symptoms and making me feel sick constantly seems like a cruel joke.

Donnat89 · 24/11/2020 22:23

ThAnks ladies .

No symptoms at all I keep thinking I'm getting AF cramps and then they go so I'm not really sure what's going on . Will find out in the morning! X

ImpatientMama · 24/11/2020 21:52

@Donnat89 sorry to hear about your loss. I believe I am having a chemical pregnancy, so I am going through a loss myself. I am sure the doctor will confirm on Friday.
@HT1335 good luck with your next test! Keep us posted!

@Donnat89 welcome!! I can see a tiny line!! Keep us updated with your progress, I love seeing two lines!! Have you had any symptoms?

@HT1335 good luck for the morning! I’ve been scanning these forums to see success stories and have seen a few so 🤞🏽

HT1335 · 24/11/2020 20:36

Yes I’ll try again in the morning it will be negative no doubt but I’ll try not to think about it for now... easier said than done!
Yes @Donnat89 positive thoughts to you and sorry to hear that

HJen22 · 24/11/2020 20:30

@Donnat89 I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 sending lots of luck and positivity for your next test!

@HT1335 aw I'm sorry it came back negative, but yeah try again in the morning! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

HT1335 · 24/11/2020 20:15

@Donnat89 hello! Yes I see it too! Hopefully get a more clear line in the morning 🤞🏻
I have tested and it was negative as expected, I’ll try again in the morning and then give the doctor a call to see if they have any answers for me!

Donnat89 · 24/11/2020 20:09

Thanks ladies . No I have 2 children from
A previous relationship and did fall pregnant last year but unfortunately lost that baby xxx

HJen22 · 24/11/2020 20:07

@Donnat89 welcome! I see a faint line too when I zoomed in! Exciting! Like @ImpatientMama said, retest in the morning and fingers crossed🤞🏻

ImpatientMama · 24/11/2020 20:03

@Bgrace8 I am
Exactly the same as @HJen22 and 10 days late! And clueless as to what is happening to me. I am going to do another test as I last done one on Saturday and see what that says and then ring the doctor to discuss as it’s very unusual for no spotting or anything for me. One minute I panic I’m in early menopause or something and then I relax. I do think I need some bloods taken for hormones so I’m going to push for that as my next step x
