11dpo bfn.. but was so convinced I’m pregnant?!

Hi, like the title says I’m now 11dpo and have had a BFN on a ic and boots early detection this morning. Feeling really down about it as I was sure I was pregnant. I’ve been having bad cramping for the last 4ish days and some nausea, I feel just like I have with my previous 3 pregnancies but with them I got BFP by 11dpo.

I’ve read lots of conflicting stuff, some saying 11dpo is still early while others saying if you definitely know dates of ovulation (which I do) then a bfn at 11dpo is pretty conclusive.

I’m trying and failing to stop over thinking it. Anyone have a similar experience?

No I didn't test again until this morning as I was starting to think I wasn't pregnant. I had cramping for the first few days which seemed very early and some breast tenderness. I've read posts where people say erect nipples Is a sign which I've had for last few days. I didnt have any of these symptoms for first pregnancy but I didn't knlw what to expect. I was pregnant last November and had a miscarriage in January so I was tuned into what it felt like to be pregnant. Weirdly I had a feeling I was pregnant 1 day in!

Good luck and let me know how you get on! I feel I’m definitely pregnant I’m just worried about it being so faint at 12dpo, from what I’ve read faint lines at this stage aren’t a good sign for a viable pregnancy..
But there’s nothing I can do so I guess I’ll have to try and get out of my head and see what the next few days bring!

Hi, I'm 15 days dpo and got a faint positive this morning, I got a negative when I tested at 11dpo. Do you have any other symptoms

Hi, congrats on your positive test. Did you test between 11dpo and today?
I’ve still just got cramping which I’ve had for the past 5 days now, and some slight nausea but not significant.

Exactly - best to wait 2 weeks after ovulation

Just cuz an ovulation stick may say ovulation - it can be 24 - 36 hrs after that 4 some

Then add on 2 weeks waiting

Thanks for the reply! I’ve also been temping and have ovulation confirmed with Natural Cycles so I’m fairly sure on dates. Hoping I’ve maybe just implanted a little later?

I think it was a good 2 weeks after I'd ovulated, I remember thinking it's definitely late enough to see a BFP if there's one to be seen!

Thank you for that bit of hope! Can you remember how early you tested when you got the bfn?

You're definitely not out. I only got positives the day AF was due.

VElizabeth · 15/04/2024 08:26

I’m sure mine won’t pick up on a digital as it’s so bloody faint on a frer which are meant to be much more sensitive. Feel like I’m going to be in limbo for the next couple of days 😩

This was mine too one was yesterday was a super faint had to squint and was still maybe eye line and next one today at 13dpo according to last months AF as I wasn’t checking ovulation it’s so much more darker than the pic I must of ovulated later top one 12 dpo bottoms 13 dpo

I have a 31 day cycle, I'd ovulated by day 12 of my cycle (fertility clinic told me this as I was there for a scan) I tested early and got a BFN, AF didn't arrive, tested 5 days after AF was due as I thought I was just late after my BFN, I'm now sat here feeding my 16 week old. Good luck

Update!
So I’ve just tested this morning at 12dpo (AF due tomorrow). I did an IC first and thought I saw a faintest hint of a line so I excitedly did a FRER expecting a more clear line and it looked negative, so was very disappointed. But then after about 5 minutes I looked again and there is a very very very faint pink line…
I’ve showed my husband who I thought wouldn’t be able to see it, but he’s agreed there is something there but extremely faint.

I’ll attach pictures although I doubt you’ll be able to see as I struggled to get it to pic up on my camera.

im just worried that it should be darker at 12dpo with AF due tomorrow? What do you all think?

I did all these lovely bfn but that bottom test i can sware I can see something! Suppose I just wait for AF now.

Keep thinking I can maybe see something on your bottom test?

Its rare to get false positives
But id only pay attention to stuff within the time frame window

C903 · 14/04/2024 17:09

Lbunny99 · 14/04/2024 16:54

I’m having conflicting results. Most of my faint positives come after the 10 minute test window. Does this mean they’re false positives?

I’m not sure I was convinced mine was false positive or eye lines but I wish you goodluck

I’ve had the same, it’s confusing and frustrating. I’ve been having cramps, tiredness, sore boobs, and no sign of my period (not due til tomorrow but just feel like it’s not going to come and usually I’d have a bit of brown spotting by now)

I took an early detection test on Thursday - nothing. Then took 2 waitrose own pink dye ones today and they were faulty (nothing came up until I dipped it really far in the wee cup (over the plastic which I know you’re not supposed to do) and t flooded the test with dye. I’ve gone back to check on them a few hours later and they now look negative.

I feel so convinced I’m pregnant but maybe my period will come in a few days. It’s disheartening, took us ages to conceive our first and had 2 losses. This is our first month trying so I was really hoping we’d just get pregnant quickly this time x

So frustrating, I feel you! Good luck with this cycle, let me know how you get on x
