Frustrating Limbo

Currently AF is 5 days late/18 DPO and getting BFNs.

Healthy discharge, light cramps and sore boobs. I was dizzy at work around a week ago but otherwise no symptoms of either Pregnancy or AF.

Normally a pretty good, reliable cycle.

@Natt08 - same! I've been a nightmare since we started TTC in December last year! And it's just absolutely consumed me. I've fallen behind on work and all sorts as i cant stop overthinking it all, especially in the TWW lol.

I've got about another 6 tests today, but i got another FRER to try. I'm tempted to test this afternoon, but can't face another BFN!!

Oh really? Where abouts? I assumed my GP wouldn't want to know as this is my first cycle that this has happened and i read somewhere they only speak to you if you go past CD45!

I tend to overthink most things and especially when it comes to TTC. This kinda took me by surprise as I've been trying to just get on with life but I can't help it now 😂

Fingers crossed for your BFP soon!

I might order an blood test, seen the finger prick ones online.

I also had peak OPK using clear blue advance digi ones on CD17, which is even more frustrating!!

@Natt08 I'm in the exact same boat. Down to dates... 18DPO and 5 days late.

I've got the odd pregnancy symptom but really trying not to overthink them as the realistic side of me is thinking a BFN must mean i'm deffo not pregnant.

But I can't help reading up on here and google about so many people not getting a BFP until they're a full week or 2 late. And as crazy as it sounds i feel totally different this month. At 12dpo i was convinced i was going to get a BFP, and tested the day before AF and got a BFN and i thought i'm deffo out then, as it was a FRER. But now this.. and no AF.

Feel free to rant away as i've spent the past week frantically on google and here and it's drained every ounce of energy i have, i feel your pain!

@Bundaberg84 mostly yes, I haven't this month due to just trying to not be so obsessed. The apps I use have filled it in for me as a average cycle which is where I got the DPO from. AF is usually on point or one day out, not normally 5 :(

Ugh sorry @Natt08 that sucks! Do you track your ovulation?
