What kind of test are you using? If you're not already I would recommend a first response early response, if you're four days late you can use it anytime you don't need to wait for morning urine

leahmegs · 01/08/2017 17:42

I used a cheap on from Asda. Ill go and pick up a first response one when I've finished work. Im dreading seeing another negative sign though

first response are the most sensitive so if you do get a negative at least you can be fairly certain you're not pregnant

Charlottiee · 01/08/2017 21:38

I am 3 days late and counting. Usually as regular as clockwork with a 28/29 cycle. Had a few days spitting last week from CD 22 and hoped it was implantation, but multiple tests since AF due date have been BFNs. So I feel your pain!

If AF doesn't arrive I think I'll have to accept the light sporting was AF, although it's nothing like any period I've ever had!!

Charlottiee · 01/08/2017 21:39

SPOTTING**
Damn autocorrect

leahmegs · 02/08/2017 09:04

@Charlottiee I think my AF could have arrived this morning, still very brownie but I can imagine she'll hit full flow sometime through the day! Just wait and see what happens I suppose. I hope yours is some type of implementation bleeding if you were really light. Fingers crossed for you xx

Charlottiee · 02/08/2017 09:19

@leahmegs fingers crossed that AF doesn't develop full flow for you! I don't have any symptoms currently and I just feel 'normal' so while I originally thought I was definitely pregnant, now I really think I'm not and I just have to accept my cycle went 'weird' this month for the first time in 17 years!!

Keep us updated!

AlexsMum89 · 02/08/2017 11:13

I'll be your late friend! I'm now 3 days late. Had the lightest spot in existence first thing yesterday, then nothing. Tiny tiny bit of spotting again this morning, now nothing.
BFN yesterday, it was an internet cheapie, but I can't keep using expensive tests every two days lol
I'm a bit annoyed because I go away Fri evening and I wanted AF over and done with before I went.

DanielleDKEA · 02/08/2017 12:57

Hey guys im really new to this today in fact lol...!! I was just wondering for some help i already have 4 kids so you would think i no.. any how... im usually on like clock work 26 day cycle but im actually late today is the 3rd day ive done tests and all negative... i have really sore boobs which i get when im due on but the thing is there really itchy which ibe only ever had when ive been pregnant my appetite is slightly off but i have no discharge what so ever which is odd because i get it really bad when im pregnant and a fair bit when im due on but im pretty much dry?! Byt my period pains come and go and can be really extreme to really mild?? Any one else had this. And what happened? Thanks girls!! XoConfused

AlexsMum89 · 02/08/2017 13:46

I really don't know how to help, I just thought I'd reply to you so you're not alone lol. Lots of strange things happen and seem to mean nothing. I'm going a bit stir crazy about the whole thing today. 3 days late, last negative was yesterday, had a teeny tiny bit of pink yesterday morning, then clear all day, then a teeny bit of pink this morning, but clear up until now. This morning I was sure AF was arriving. I feel really really sick, my boobs are very sore and I've got cramps on and off. Chances are AF will turn up eventually and have a little laugh at me...

DanielleDKEA · 02/08/2017 17:54

Thanks for replying .. i no its a nightmare isnt it ... sounds to me like things could go in your favour... fingers crossed for u!! Xx

leahmegs · 02/08/2017 18:40

Hi girls, AF is definitely playing silly buggers today, still really light only need a pad in and that's not taking much damage lol. Sill have the sick feeling and cramps and feeling hormonal TF. This is my 5th day late without the full force of AF. I've kinda got the idea in my head that this month isn't the month for me Sad I've told the boyfriend every green day this month we'll be doing the baby dance Wink he seems extremely happy about that idea xx

AlexsMum89 · 02/08/2017 19:59

@Danielle thanks! I'll test again tomorrow if AF still doesn't arrive. It really is getting on my nerves now!
@leahmegs hope it goes one way or the other for you! I'm kind of in the same boat although it's literally only been one streak of pink. I've been wearing a pad all day for absolutely no reason lol

Charlottiee · 02/08/2017 20:06

SO frustrating isn't it. I can accept not being pregnant as it's only cycle #1 for us, but what I can't hack is my cycle being all messed up for the first time in foreveeeeer. Typical!

I'm also using cheapy tests because I cant afford to keep using the good ones like FR. I think I'll probably stop testing come Sat and accept it's not happening this month.

Took an ovulation test today and showed 2 line but was negative. So will keep trying to chart that to get to grips with my cycle!

Good luck to the rest of you x

leahmegs · 02/08/2017 21:02

@Charlottiee haha mines done exactly the same, I'm always so regular so after the first cycle of actually ttc and my AF decided to be late it really got my hopes up, now she's playing silly buggers and won't actually make a proper appearance.

@AlexsMum89 I'm hoping she just hurries up does her thing then buggers off.

I've always hated doing pregnancy tests, I normally but then back in the wrapper and get my boyfriend to look lol. Nearly 2 years ago I fell pregnant with twins and when he looked at the test he just said 'what does two lines mean babe?' Unfortunately it turned out to be a heartbreaking MC, and a very unexpected pregnancy! But since then I've been gutted every month when AF arrives

AlexsMum89 · 02/08/2017 22:32

@leahmegs I'm sorry to hear that Flowers I've got my fingers crossed for you

One more sneaky streak of very pale pink this evening.. maybe AF will finally arrive tomorrow. Who knows.
Can you go through those airport scanners ok when pregnant? Probably an idiotic question, but just in case!

leahmegs · 02/08/2017 22:45

@AlexsMum89 she seems to be buggering off now, but like you I'll see what the morning holds.. Yeah I honestly can't see why not, surely they must scan loads of pregnant women every day? Are you off anywhere nice? I'm hoping to get away September time so fingers crossed for some nice British weather lol

AlexsMum89 · 02/08/2017 23:01

@leahmegs disney florida! Can't wait! I'll check back tomorrow and see how we're doing Hmm

leahmegs · 03/08/2017 09:59

Still pathetic excuse for AF this morning but I can imagine a day of standing up (I'm a hairdresser) will probably bring her here in full flow.

Florida sounds amazing I'm so jealous Grin

DanielleDKEA · 03/08/2017 10:45

@Alxsmum89 how did testing go for you.?? Isot good news for u?? Im on day 4 now still bad cramps an my boobs are sooo painful they make me wanna cry haa n my nipples are still itchy.. not sure what to do... !Confused xx

Charlottiee · 03/08/2017 11:32

@leahmegs I'm sorry to here about your MC Flowers fingers crossed you'll get the positive you hope for soon

@DanielleDKEA I feel your frustration. I think there's little we can do as GPs are (I think) unlikely to run any tests after just one missed period. So I'm trying to track ovulation so I can at least get back on track with dates.

DanielleDKEA · 03/08/2017 14:01

@Charlottiee its horrible isn't it... i dont track ovulation only the app on my phone so do u think i could have ovulated late..?? i usually just no im pregnant but this time i can't say i feel my period is coming all the time but doesnt... i calculated i ovulated on the 17/18 which was 17 days ago... so would it show up yet? Slrry for all of my questions... hows things going for u today..??x

AlexsMum89 · 03/08/2017 14:49

I tested this morning, BFN using a frer, so I'm taking it that I'm definitely not pregnant. Still just one tiny streak but it's gone from pink to brown...
I can't even guess what's going on, but I'm going to enjoy my holiday and forget about it!

Charlottiee · 03/08/2017 17:48

@Danielle I guess you could have ovulated late, have you ever been this late before though? I haven't so I'm just going to take the spotting I had last week as my period.

I have two apps: Ovia and Eve. To try and get a grasp on things I've marked my spotting in one of the apps as my period, so that's counting those cycle days, and in the other I've not recorded a period this month. So hopefully that should throw up two potential fertile indows for me to use as a guide this month Confused

I've started doing ovulation tests but only since yesterday. Both negative but showing a faint line. Maybe you could get some ovulation tests if you're unsure about ovulation?

DanielleDKEA · 03/08/2017 19:09

@charlottiee im usually bang on every 26 days wothout fail i dont have a clue why im late... were ttc so its doing me in a little... maybe ill wait till monday see if i come on... i have such bad pains an they seem to come and go really severe an then mild... i have no discharge whats so ever when i wipe but i have a fair bit on pads ... i usually have loads when im pregnant who knows...

I really hope things settle down and sort there self out for u... who knows you might still e pregnant and your HCG hormone isnt strong enough yet XO
