You may well have tested too early. There is always a chance until your AF arrives, so test again tomorrow morning when you'll be 2 days over.

Technically it's not too early but there is always a chance that there was not enough of the pregnancy hormone to show up.

aprilgirl · 28/11/2005 13:34

think i'll try again i havent come on by wednesday and i just have to hope i tested to early!!dp is worried sick thinking that its his fault??? cant reassure him enough that it just takes time! hated seeing his dissapointed face when it showed negative! but im hiding my disappointment to make him feel better!

Aprilgirl - Have you been TTC for long? Bearing in mind it commonly takes a year or more!

aprilgirl · 28/11/2005 13:39

no not long only 2 coming up 3 months, i know its not long you just expect it to happen dont you!!

OP posts:

SackAche · 29/11/2005 16:48

Aprilgirl - It would be highly unusual that you had conceived within the 1st 2 months of trying!! Relax woman.

SackAche · 01/12/2005 09:13

Any news Aprilgirl???

aprilgirl · 01/12/2005 14:34

SackAche, no news im afraid got another bfn yesterday but still no af!!! just going to chill out about it think im getting worried about it and too worked up , just usually my af is like clockwork and this month its not!! wonder if its because ive only had the 1 cycle since coming off th pill? keep thinking its cos i bought bheap tests from pound land and thats why they are negavite mybe a clearblue will be kinder too me!!! he he he!!!

OP posts:

HellyBelly · 01/12/2005 15:49

I tested with a cheap kit when pg with ds and it was bfn but with predicter test it was bfp.

Maybe worth another test? Or just relax and see what happens if you are able to.

aprilgirl · 02/12/2005 14:51

still no sign of af!!! havent tested since ... wednesday so still keeping my hopes up!!! lets just hope them £1 tests were a load of rubbish!!!!!!
got no signs of af either but have got horrible discahrge (tmi) ..sorry anyone know what that could be ?

FirstSaintNikkilass · 05/12/2005 14:37

Hi Aprilgirl any news?

aprilgirl · 05/12/2005 14:55

no news.... af is now 8 days late tested on wednesday which was negative but no signs of af either, dunno what to do dp thinks its cos my cycle is mixed up and thinks i shouldnt test anymore, hes probs right!! will have to wait and see.... what would you do?

OP posts:

FirstSaintNikkilass · 05/12/2005 15:16

presuming your cycle is not settled here.. stressing can cause delay... but your question was what would I do...I personally would take another test (I can't stand the anticipation) and if -ve seek drs if af not arrived in another couple of days.

FirstSaintNikkilass · 05/12/2005 15:20

Its the toss up between can you live with the probabilty of being pg and not knowing..or.. can you sit it out? or how would you feel if it was -ve?

Tests have different sensitivity levels and therefore you may have had one which is testing for a higher level that isn't present yet. (remaining hopeful for you)

(sorry sat on the fence here hey?)

aprilgirl · 05/12/2005 15:25

to be honest it was just a shitty pound land test so it might have been a bit naff ( have you heard me trying to convince myself)might test wednesday if no af shows up!! its really my 1st cycle since i come off pill x

OP posts:

FirstSaintNikkilass · 05/12/2005 15:31

If this is your first cycle since coming off the pill this could also be a valid reason for delay. I have read that it took someone a while for their Af, however when I first came of pill it was "business as usual" so hope it is for you.

However, On a positive note I am sending you luck for testing on Weds.

jersey · 05/12/2005 15:39

aprilgirl I fell first cycle off pill which was a surprise so it is possible!!!!!

aprilgirl · 05/12/2005 17:12

well i hope so will be keeping everything crossed in hope for this to be it ( even me legs)he he just phoned dp and he's made tea and i got a rush a nausea mouth went all water like i could have spewed at the thought... maybe this is affecting my brain now!! but you never know xx

OP posts:

aprilgirl · 05/12/2005 17:15

any news aprilgirl?

aprilgirl · 15/12/2005 13:45

nope no news now 18days late now, no bfp

OP posts:

WigWamBam · 15/12/2005 13:50

If it's only a few weeks since you came off the pill then that's probably why your period is late. When I came off the pill the first time it was 13 months before my periods came back, so they can be messed up for a while.

Have you got any other symptoms Aprilgirl?

aprilgirl · 15/12/2005 15:15

sors boobies, cat even touch them, nipples feel like they could drop off, got quite a bit of cramping too, thats about it x

OP posts:

rubles · 15/12/2005 15:17

Is it worth a trip to the doctor as 18 days sounds an awful long time to be late. But those do sound like potential pregnancy symptoms, don't they?
Do doctors do blood tests for this sort of thing?
