Hi everyone, I'm new here but just thought I'd post a quick message for some advice really! (I've never been pregnant or never actively tried to conceive either) but me and my OH had unprotected you know what on 24th Sep (according to my app it was 1 day after my ovulation cycle, but still medium change of getting pregnant) The first week went by and no symptoms, but this week I've had on and off dull cramping, headaches, feeling nauseous on occasion but not actually being sick, being tired or struggling to sleep at all! I just needed to write this as I feel like I'm going mad and I'm eventually going to stress myself out lol. I've done a couple of tests but all negative, I'm due on my AF today but nothing has come so far so I did a test earlier and was negative also! Has anyone been through this? or can shed some light? Maybe my AF will eventually turn up late, but I just have a strange gut feeling something is happening😆Thanks in advance x

No.

I just uploaded the above picture to see if I could see a VVVFL on an inverted filter and I can actually see some shadow?! Anyone else? 😳

I so know the feeling. Holding your hand. Don't want to get your hopes up as I also have major line eye going on but the FRER does look like there could be something.

About to do mine now as just finished work 🤞

Thank you! please let me know any updates! keeping everything crossed for you! 🤞🏼
And I did think that about the FRER abut I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me 😅

Still no AF this morning! took 2x tests including FRER and looks like a BFN to me! I’m so confused, had the worst lower back pain last night and have woken up with a slight headache 🙄I just need to know whether I am or not it’s driving me crazy lol x

I don't see anything. Maybe you ovulated late. I'd wait a few days then do a digital.

I will do! thanks so much x

AF for me has still not shown up. 2 days late according to Flo app but not sure why this is as I believe I was due on the 4th October and my app said that up until yesterday?!

I think I've had a very very faint line on an easy@home but it could well be shadow/line eye.

Waiting on my delivery of FRER today but have to go to work in between. Hoping it arrives whilst I pop home for lunch so I can test and not have to wait until this evening.

As confused as ever...

This morning's symptoms are nausea and feeling super hot, had a hot flush this morning. Also, a tight feeling in my lower stomach.

Lilpop90 · 08/10/2023 09:24

Urgh annoying! Have you taken any tests since being late ?

carsty · 08/10/2023 09:15

im still cramping and no af yet, currently 4 days late.

Lilpop90 · 08/10/2023 09:05

Any updates on AF or BFP/BFN’s this morning? X

Dani46 · 08/10/2023 00:33

Hey! Just come across this thread. I tested last Monday and had the faintest line, I ended up getting a clear blue 6 day early and my positive come up pretty much straight away! I was using easy@home tests at first.
I had a mmc back in July, so right now I’m so anxious about everything. Xx

humanwinginglife · 08/10/2023 00:22

@BuffyMac it's stressing me out too 😢 still no AF but had similar again about 15 mins before heading to bed. Work tomorrow so shall have to wait 😭

Let me know how you get on! X

Oh my goodness! That is so, so strange. I came on here to ask for advice and saw your recent post! I was just in the kitchen and felt like a (TMI WARNING, proceed if you wish), small gush and I thought "ahh here AF is, about time, now I don't have to second guess anymore". So I got hubby to pause the tv expecting AF in the bathroom and had the exact same thing! Like clear liquid/discharge but quite a bit of it, so much so it filled the equivalent of a £2 coin in my underwear 👀 double checked up there and no blood just this stuff?! What on earth is going on?!

Omg no way!! I was honestly the exact same! 😆how strange! I just want to know now, its stressing me out lol x

@humanwinginglife I'm going to take a FRER tomorrow too I think! still no AF for me, just popped to the loo TMI sorry- had some clear discharge? so maybe a positive sign? 🤞
Yesss, I was sad after my CB too, got my hopes up massively!
But thank you lovely, neither are you! ❣

@BuffyMac a slight shadow/squinter and nothing more. Nowhere near enough to even consider and could well be line eye. I should have known better!

I have some FRER coming tomorrow, hopefully they can shed some light... if AF hasn't come by then.

Ugh, isn't it so frustrating! I got pretty excited after my CB 😢 feel for you. Your not alone ♥️

humanwinginglife · 07/10/2023 18:13

@BuffyMac it's really frustrating but you've got this 💪

I caved and retested - it's currently doing its thing although I doubt I would have another result on the same day 🙈

I've had a VERY faint line the other day but I think it was either evap or indent. I also had a CB very faint positive but I think again it was evap. Yesterdays and todays seem to be negative 😔

Thank you lovely! you too! 💪
Omg please let us know the outcome, keeping everything crossed for you!🤞

And I literally had the same on Tuesday! CB test faint positive but probably was evap 🙄and I've been BFN ever since! x

Joining too! 2 days late, BFN, usually very regular. Headache, bloated, sore boobs. Hoping for a late ovulation BFP after MMC🥺

I'm the same! 2 days late! I'm pretty clueless with ovulation as I don't track it (can only go by flo) but I'm assuming I may have ovulated late too? Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🤞 x

It's so frustrating isn't it! I am like a mad woman today, 4 tests in and still thinking of doing another. So silly. I just want to know!!

Still no sign of AF this evening 👀🤞

I'm the exact same! especially as I've never been pregnant before so have nothing to compare symptoms too! 🙄I want to test again as well but I'm sure it'll be negative, I'm not even getting faint lines! are you?? and no AF for me either 😆🤞

@humanwinginglife I agree with a lot of your symptoms too! I've had such a dull headache this past week on and off (which is normally a sign of my AF coming but nothing yet!?) I haven't had any spotting or implantation bleeding etc though, so thats messing with my head massively 🙄Been getting a lot of acid reflux too, not sure if thats linked to nausea? Going to try test maybe next week I'm not really sure what to do! 😆Hope everything goes ok for you too lovely 🤞🤞
