I'm 3 days late. Did test this am. Negative. What do I do now?

Congratulations misstiggiwinkle, at long last! Can I ask, did you test every day and also what hpt you used?

[patch77]

Still no sign of af. Still bfn.

Get on with life and hopefully af will appear. Just not this weekend as its my birthday.

I tested every day with ic's and the once I got a line I upgraded to a french pharmacy one (I'm on holiday) home on Wednesday so will clear blue it when I'm back but I think it's conclusive, however still v faint lines, thought they would be darker by now. Good luck!

Just sticking my 2pence worth in.
I was getting negatives with FRER and only positives with ic sticks.
Finally got a very faint line on a FRER this morning after getting a line on IC sticks from 3 days ago.
I was getting positives in the afternoon versus the morning (very common apparently)
Please don't get disheartened just yet ladies x

So I went out and bought one First Response mega early test and also a pack of 3 in the pound shop. Thought I'd try the pound shop one first and there's nothing there. I poured my pee away (TMI!) so will probably just have to wait until later to test on the fancy one. it was £8 and I'm skint so maybe I should wait until the morning to use it.

The annoying thing is I can still see a faint line on those first cheap pound shop tests from days ago. Yes, I know, that's manky keeping them! They took ages to come up though but they don't look like evaporation lines.

Trying not to get disheartened.

I tried the First Response - negative also.

On thinking this all over, I actually think perhaps those very faint early tests did show I was actually pregnant. Now that there's no trace of another line at all, I think it's all over for me and AF will start soon.

I am so disappointed

Sorry you keep getting bfn :-( How late are you now, have you ever been this late before?

Sorry you feel disappointed, I do too.

Hi. I wasn't tracking AF, but know for certain in I'm at least 4 days late now. cycles range from 24-28 days and never been longer. I tend to have a short luteal phase too. I've been unwell though so it's also possible my body is just messing around. Hey ho, it'll all come out in the wash I suppose!

[patch77]

Definition not pregnant. Very heavy bleed, feel as though my insides are falling out (sorry tmi)

[bettergetamoveon]

Sorry to hear that patch. I also started period today. I am NEVER going to test again until at least a week late.

I actually feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulders. To go from faint lines to nothing really worried me.

I've been at the docs today for an unrelated(?) dizzy head thing and I mentioned the late period and lack of pregnancy over 5 years of no contraception. Told him we were waiting to see if anything would happen and it hasn't. Also said I'm not too bothered because I have a son. Why did I say that? I am bothered! Think I'm so used to telling everyone who asks that we are happy with one. He's taken blood tests so we'll see if anything is going on with me.
