Could I still be pregnant?

I know it's not over until AF turns up but I don't want to get excited unless it's realistically possible.

I've taken 8 tests in the last few days all negative. AF was due today- no sign- took a test and it's a negative. Could I still be pregnant even though I've had eight negatives? TIA.

Hi OP. I'd say it depends. Do you know for sure when you ovulated? If not, it's possible you ovulated later than usual which may explain why nothing has happened yet, either AF or BFP.

Other than that, I'm not sure anyone can say one way or another tbh! Good luck!

I never got a BFP until 4 or 5 days after my period was due. I don’t ovulate until about day 19 so I think that must be why. All 3 of my DC were 4-6 days “over dates” too.

Good luck.

Tested again today, BFN. Still no sign of AF though.

Hi Nessun! I’m in the same boat too. AF was due yesterday but nothing, and I’m usually regular to the hour! I’ve taken a test today and yesterday, but both BFN. Very confused. Have you had any symptoms?

Hi @JLR30 I've been really emotional and crying at nothing and nausea, what about you?Smile

I’ve just had cramps as though AF is coming, but no AF. I’ve had them since Wednesday, which is also unusual for me as I normally only get cramps the day before. I also have quite wet CM- although I’m
Not sure if that’s any different to my usual cycle as this time! AF coming is always disappointing, but it not coming and having BFNs seems worse! 😟

I didn't get a BFP until 12 days after AF was due.. I kept getting negatives and thought something was going on with my cycles.. then decided to test one last time and got my bfp. First response are tests I stand by, they are amazing!

Oh hi, hi, I'm in this same boat right now!! My period was due yesterday, based on my usual cycle length, although I guess occasionally it is a day or two longer. Tested mid day and it was negative, but then read that the test actually isn't all that sensitive before the day your period is due (something like 30% chance of a false negative), and you should be testing in the morning anyway, so now of course my hopes are up. Temperature dipped yesterday to my coverline but is up very slightly again today, resting heart rate still high. And I don't have that feeling of an approaching period. Sooooooo.... I'm getting a more sensitive test ;-)
