Going mad but can't stop testing :(

[PollyCazaletWannabe]

I had a missed miscarriage and an ERPC in January. Luckily my cycle went back to normal very quickly and we have started trying again. My period is not due until tomorrow but I have been obsessively doing tests since Monday, getting a BFN each time. shouldn't I have a positive by now even if AF isn't yet due? Has anyone else had BFNs before their period is due but then got a BFP afterwards? Help- I'm obsessed!

I didn't get my bfp until I was 6 days late. Did one at 4 days late and got a bfn. Result of that bfp is now 17mo and dragging his paw patrol scooter round the house.

That's very encouraging, thank you orangebird the thing is I know it's too early but I can't seem to stop myself testing!

I was due yesterday and I'm never late ever and still nothing been testing and all tests bfn x

Thank you saz and fingers crossed for you too! Have you had any other signs? I had pain last weekend that I thought might be implantation pain, because it fit with the dates, which I think is why I've been testing madly all week

I'm so bloated and constipated it's unreal. Xx

I'm late too! My cycles vary from 25-26 days and I'm currently on cd29, bfn this morning I'm 13dpo so not sure what to think!

Crazy isn't it. I'm confused x

It's frustrating! I keep having af type cramps so I keep checking to see if she's arrived but nothing yet. Are you having any other symptoms? X

I'm really badly constipated ( that never happens to me) I haven't been for 3 days, keep feeling sick on and off xx

I have the same with the feeling sick, hits me in waves throughout the day! Apart from that I'm just bloated and having mild cramps. With my last pregnancy I had the strongest metallic taste in my mouth a week and a half before my bfp and suffered with severe sickness from 5/6wks. Will have to keep waiting!!

Fingers crossed for you all X

There is a chance you're pg yes but it's more likely that you're not.

I know how hard it is. It took 14 months and two losses before I conceived dc1 and I ended up the same. I had to step back because it was actually making me unwell and I wasn't in the best mental shape for having a good, positive pregnancy. I started a new and very challenging hobby which took time and concentration, spent time just enjoying my marriage and banned early testing. It became quite clear in retrospect that I hadn't healed from the miscarriages and I was projecting a lot of expectation and desperation on that first child. It wasn't right or fair. I wanted a baby so badly that I'd forgotten it was more important that my baby badly needed a mother who was well and happy, not desperate and obsesssed.

Good luck with ttc. Remember to look after yourself as much as possible and enjoy the life you have right now.

First day of period was meant to be today. No sign of period but STILL BFN :( any more of you who had this but later found out they were in fact pg?

When I got pregnant before I only tested when my period was a few days late. I wish I could just leave it but I bought another 6 tests today :(
