BFN on ClearBlue Digi, Could I be pregnant?

JoyfulJoyful · 20/04/2012 17:05

Hello everyone
Brief history of myself of TTC journey
1st Jan 2102 ? Conceived
23rd Feb 2012 ? MMC
27th March ? AF back after miscarriage
7th April ? Ovulated, I think. Had ovulation pain
19th April ? Tested with CB Digi - not pregnant. Could have collapsed from disappointment.
I had really convinced myself that I was pregnant again although I have no symptoms and so determined not to symptom-spot. As much as I try to tell myself post testing that AF is on her way (anytime btwn 21st to 24th) something inside me is clinging to hope that I am with child.
Has anyone had this sort of experience where 12DPO they get a BFN only for it to turn out positive later.
TIA

Hi, I had a bfn but not with a digi (they weren't invented 11yrs ago). I can't remember exactly when in my cycle I tested, but AF would have been a few days late. I didn't believe it at all, waited a few days, did another one and bingo. I have a lovely 10yo dd (noisy, active but lovely!!).

Good luck.

Hi,

Dont lose hope as you dont really know when you ovulated for sure, leave it a few days and test again as it might just be that you are not far enough along to get a bfp. Have you considered charting ? I hope you get a bfp soon .

Thanks dlady and homeaway. I am hopeful but also aware that AF could show up in a few days.
HA, what is charting? Before my MC, my cycle was btw 26-28 days, never more or less so I am usually quite sure about when AF is due plus I thought the ovulation pain meant I'd ovulated Confused

Yes, happened to me last weekend! I got a BFN from Clearblue Digital last Saturday at 12 DPO. On Monday, when there was still no AF, I tried again, expecting nothing, and got a BFP. Was delightedly shocked!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 21:39

From what I know of tests, clear blue digital are around the least sensitive! Might be worth testing again with a Superdrug or first response early response which are a lot more sensitive. 12dpo is fairly early to be testing too. Give it a bit of time. Hope it's a BFP!

JoyfulJoyful · 20/04/2012 21:49

Thanks Sarichan and HALFB, decided to wait till Tuesday before testing again as that's the latest day for AF to make an appearance which I pray she doesn't. This is just so stressful!

Joyful joyful - I pray that you get your BFP as I was like this a week ago felt AF was coming so when it didn't show tried convincing myself my cycle may of changed again! But I tested and didn't get double lines! But with no AF signs at all! I did a superdrugs cheapy and saw a faint line!!
Got a clearblue digi- and it took what seemed like a lifetime to turn to a pregnant!!!!! 1-2 weeks!!!!

I pray joy will be yours real soon!!!!!

JoyfulJoyful · 21/04/2012 20:31

Thanks Countmyblessings, I pray it turns out that I'm pregnant. I still have 3 more days before I can test. I don't want to even buy a test so that it doesn't tempt her out. Your story fills me with hope. Thanks again.

I think CB digis are only 50mlU's, (could be 25, but i dont think so) most of the cheapy brands are 20-25mlU's and pick up a lot earlier than CB digis. FRER can pick up at 6.3mlU's!!!

so, plenty of scope left for BFP.

Dozer · 22/04/2012 07:08

The digis are not sensitive, as others say. First response most sensitive, but can buy packs of internet cheapie tests from amazon, packs of 50 or something, sensitive ones (10miu) saves a lot of money if you do a fair few tests! Likewise ovulation tests.

(lots of experience and overuse of POAS here! Now have my DDs luckily, most of my tests have been given to friends now)

cinderellabelle · 22/04/2012 09:45

I Did a first response 4 days before AF was due and got negative i was crushed after 2 previous m/c so know how you felt. I was sure i was pg had symptoms and i just knew it. I kept doing tests for the next week all BFN and then 10 days late i brought a clearblue indicator and there it was BFP. I must have ovulated later than i thought as im not as far as i thought i was.

Good luck hope you get a BFP soon

JoyfulJoyful · 22/04/2012 17:26

Hello ladies, thank you for your posts however it turns out I'm not pregnant as AF turned up last night and to say I'm gutted doesn't even begin to describe how I felt/feel. I was so sure I was pregnant because I felt how I did when I was pregnant first time round. Oh well, here's hoping May is the month I get my BFP.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I'll be praying it is a May BFP.
