BFN at 10 DPO, trying not to lose hope.

[Grumboots]

I've been a bit of a lurker for a long while now as I've been pining for a baby for years. I'm FINALLY there- we're in the process of trying and I'm trudging through my first 2 week wait. I swear I've been waiting months- feels like it!

I've had some little 'oddities' which have made me wonder if it's worked. I realise it's the first time- it may take a while- but I can't help symptom spotting, no matter how much I tell myself not to.

I have been having some mild cramping on my right side, increased thirst and weeing a lot (especially at night). This is all very abnormal for me. Also have an odd taste today- can't say it's metallic per se but feels like the potential beginnings of the 'sucking a penny' taste.

I did a First Response early response test today (around 10 DPO) and it was negative. I've read that some women don't get positives until after their missed AF but I'm still a little gutted, if I'm honest.

Has anybody had a BFN this early but have ended up being pregnant after all?

I didn't get a positive until 19 dpo. I took a test 11 dpo - negative. And at 17 dpo - negative.

However I may have got my ovulation dates wrong - which is always a possibility for you too. Best of luck!

When TTC DD1 I had a BFN at 10DPO and clear positive the next day.

Good luck x

Hi!

I tried my first ever FRER this morning at 12dpo and got a bfn.

I did OPK and got a positive on CD14 and cd15 so made sure to DTD on these days and for the following 3 days.

7dpo I started with very light brown glow/spotting which carried on until 10dpo. I had mild cramps too. I thought this might possibly be implantation bleeding?

This is my first cycle. Given that ovulated on cd15 I thought a FRER might have shown a faint line but nothing! Xoxo

Thanks Alyosha and Laura- that makes me a little more hopeful. I know that, realistically, it working first time would be incredibly lucky but there's always the chance!

gossipgirl28- sounds like we're in a similar position. Let's hope it works out for us both! x

I'm at 9dpo on cycle 2 (not sure I ovulated cycle 1), and also getting BFN. I'm holding out hope after cramping and light bleeding on 6/7dpo, and AF due Friday.

I've read lots of women don't get a BFP until after they've missed all of AF, so it's definitely too early for you to give up hope this early.

The TWW is so all-consuming, and I can't imagine how much worse it is for people who have been trying for months or even years. I have no idea how not to obsess over it.

Good luck on getting your BFP!

Liland- too true! I'm hoping and praying I'm not somebody who has to try too many times, I really feel for those who do. I know a few people who are having difficulties, which is one of the reasons we started TTC, as time is on our side should we have problems (we're 25 & 26). Fingers tightly crossed this is an unfounded paranoia!!

The waiting is torture- for the past 10 days, I've thought of little else! Good luck to you too! x

Hang in there @Grumboots ! I was convinced I was pregnant because I had symptoms similar to yours from 3 days before AF was due. I tested every day for a week and finally got my BFP 18dpo and 3 days after AF was due! We sadly miscarried last month but trying to conceive again now using Natural Cycles which worked really well for us. Good luck x

Thank you @Llondbol- that makes me feel a little better. Roll on Saturday, when AF is due, just so I can see if she arrives or not. I just hate not knowing!!

I'm very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Sending lots of love your way and hope that this cycle is successful for you x

Me! I tested every day from 10dpo and didn't get m BFP until 18dpo and AF 3 days late. Good luck! X

Oops didn't realise I already replied to this thread 🙈

How did you get on @grumboots, hope the witch hasn’t arrived x
