My partner and I have been TTC since May. I seem to have had regular 28 day cycles since then, was due to come on 1st Aug but nothing has arrived. Felt like I was going to come on, cramps which felt like period pain the day before and the day I was due on.

I haven't noticed any other symptons whatsoever, is it possible to be pregnant even though I don't feel it at all? I really want to test but think I'll be really disappointed if it's negative so don't want to do it too soon!

Yes it is possible (or so I've read)

Fingers crossed you are. I would wait a couple more days then test (actually I don't think I could wait) lol

Good luck to you... Lets us know :D

Sounds a big possibility - I have a friend who didn't even notice she was pregnant due to the no symptoms....I think a test is in order!

I think I will do a test on Sat - if I can wait that long!! If I'm going to come on my period, I'd rather it just happen now as I'm getting my hopes up! I'm worried that I'm thinking about it too much and that's why I'm not coming on, not that I can stop thinking about it mind!

I have 2dc and have done many many 2WW - both pregnancies I had absolutely no signs apart from late AF. Good luck -if you can hold out to take a test then so much the better.

Oh and thank you - I'm sat here trying to convince myself not to buy a test at lunch today! I've had a bit of CM (sorry) today, hoping that's another symptom developing!

Sorry OP - 2 week wait ... Between ovulating and period. If you know when you ovulated this will also give you more insight - I occasionally used to ovulate much later in cycle and this would delay my period - but if your cycles are very consistent then 5 days late is very encouraging ( and most people on her would definitely be testing by now !)
Good luck

An awful lot of people have no symptoms this early but you are already 4 days late so I'd go for a test if I were you!

Hmmm, ok. I'm not entirely sure when I ovulated, I noticed heavy CM mid July possibly on or around the 22nd, so perhaps I've done the 2WW already!? It's definitely getting more difficult to wait to test!!

Hi iwantalittleone. I tested 4 days before I was due AF, just couldn't wait. I got my BFP. Im 6 weeks. Put your mind to rest and go get a test, fingers crossed 4 you. Keep us posted.

Thanks shellmck and congratulations! I think I may get a test tonight and do it in the morning, not sure I can hold out until Sat now!

With both my pregnancies, the lack of symptoms was what made me think I might be, and I was - tested on 18 July, one day before my period was due and it was positive.

Definitely test as if you are you'll probably get a strong positive by now (if you were due on 1 August)

Good luck, let us know how you get on!

Decision made, going to buy a test (or 2!) later and test first thing tomorrow. Will report back!

Thank you and congrats strokethefurrywall!

Oh so nervous/excited now!

You can't buy a test tonight and then leave us in suspense!!!! Grin

Buy it and do it!!!

People say that the first morning urine is the optimum sample but seeing as you are 5 days late you'd probably have detectable levels at whatever time of the day you had a wee Smile

On the day I got my positive result my first urine stream of the day gave me a BFN. It was only when I re-tested at about 16.00pm that it showed a BFP Grin

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely Writer, I love your optimism!

Will update after my next test, may go back to plan A and wait until Sat though.

OP posts:
Writerwannabe83 · 06/08/2013 21:06

I was testing every day for about 8 or 9 days prior to getting my BFP, sometimes even twice a day - that's optimism!!! Grin

Best of luck for whenever you test Smile x
