Af due today. Bfn test !! Any similar experiences???

[Cali13]

Hi. I know there are so many threads about these things and I've been looking at so many! I'm just not sure what I'm really asking as no one will really have an answer . Anyway ...

Came off cerazette start of sept. Got a bleed on 30th sept . Next bleed wasn't until 6weeks plus a 3days from then. After that the next bleed was 5weeks and 1 day, then 4 weeks and 3 days and 4 weeks .and now here we are ,4 weeks and af is due today.

We'd been TTC since my period seemed to have appeared again at the end of sept. I've no idea when I ovulate.i heard it can take months when stopping the pill but I know everyone is different. So was just having sex as regular and more in the middle of my cycle and since last cycle and cycle before were 4 weekish I was having sex from day 10 - day 16 at least !

It's been so so disappointing not getting pregnant and from last week I've had a few cramps and twinges plus slight back pain. I had cramps yesterday and today as well as sore boobs so I keep expecting af to show. I did a hpt which was bfn.. trying to remember how I felt with dd but she's 5 so I can't remember! I was young and didn't take any contraceptive and my periods wasn't something I paid attention to!!
Has anyone experienced period like symptoms when they were due and ended up actually being pregnant ?? Thanks ladies xxxxx

@Cali13 I agree - I wish I could be that relaxed! Funnily enough this time last year I would quite happily have waited another 4/5 years but all of a sudden in the autumn I started feeling broody (read: I cried looking at baby clothes in Sainsbury's!!!!).

I don't think there is such a thing as TMI on these boards don't worry . I haven't tried any of the apps yet, I suppose they would be more accurate than the calendar so maybe I'll try one of those next month if I get a BFN on Thursday?? I ordered a pack of cheap OPK from Amazon, they were about 30 strips a pack, allegedly the same ones the NHS use. Still no sign of AF today. If you are 13 DPO maybe wait another few days (3/4 days) and test again? I'm 16DPO today and waiting until 18DPO to re-test. It would appear some people implant later than others and HCG doesn't always show up until 4-5 days afterwards, even in FMU. So confusing. Currently drinking loads of water to make my wee completely useless so I don't get tempted to go out and buy more tests whyyyyyy?!

I kept getting negative tests for 4 days or so on those cheap internet tests. Finally bought a FRER and had a strong positive!! I’d recommend buying a First response test if you haven’t already

@rideforthehills oh thanks very much - I will definitely try the other app. I know they're not 100% but my fertile window has moved since this late period so I know what u mean. Thank you 💕💕

@LP17 ohh I might order some OPK strips too - I haven't used them before so I may as well give it a go :))
I was the same I wasn't that bothered about having another child but I had gotten sooo broody so we decided to ttc . I will definitely have a read at that thread I think I've done similar in the past !!
Ahh that's a good idea it's so hard not to test - 2 days till Thursday ! You can do this!!xxxx

@herewegoagain56 ahh congratulations!! I actually think the cheap tests need to detect more of the HCG to get a positive and with my first I used a FR too :)) thank you xxx

Yeah i just want to know whats going on! My AF still hasn't showed, Its so frustratng lol! Feel like im in no mans land. Going to wait until Sunday until i test again, as waste of money otherwise xx

@ellsharks I feel the same :(( I think I'll wait until the weekend too , or at least try too! Cuz they are expensive if your buying the FR one or the CB ones ! Fingers crossed for us all 💕

@Cali13 I'm out - AF arrived with a vengeance in the night. Amazing how I had literally convinced myself this was it!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you testing at the weekend x

@LP17 oh noooooo I'm so sorry !!! AF is such a bitch keeping u waiting like that. I'm just hoping mine is gonna come now if it's coming cuz it's so frustrating:((( at least u can have fun trying again this month sending love to u and good luck with the baby making for next week :)) xxxx

@Cali13 At least I can say I'm on CD1 I guess! So disappointing though - husband coping much better than I am with it all. He just looks forward to DTD. It's our first wedding anniversary next week actually which will set the scene quite nicely. Fx for you to get some clarity too! Xxx

@LP17 ohh that sounds lovely !! I hope yous have a lovely anniversary exactly , having that clarity at least u can track things again ugh men can be infuriatingly layed back about things sometimes !! Xxxxx

OP I didn't get a BFP until 5 days after AF was due, despite testing every day with the Clearblue monitor. I also had what I was convinced was horrendous PMT. I'm now 22 weeks pregnant! Good luck x

Af arrived today !!! Upset but glad I can't start tracking again . Good luck this month everyone xoxoxox

Awh congrats @catra !!! My af just showed:(( I'll have fun trying this month tho :)) xxxx

@Cali13 oh what a pain!!!! I've joined the April bus thread in hopes someone elses good luck will rub off on us! x

@LP17 I think I'll do the same!! 💕💕

Hi hope everyone is ok @ellsharks @RLOU88 @LP17 @holzyb20 I'm on CD 1 again 😞 grrr... Hope you're all ok xx
