Feeling pregnant but no bfp yet

Hi ladies,
I've been pregnant before and feeling similar symptoms but AF not due for a few more days. I have tested a few times with different tests, all came back negative. AF is due in 5 days so I tried a clearblue digital but came back negative. I know it might still be early or I might just be imagining my symptoms. Anyone have a similar experience? Did you end up being pregnant or not?

@Katy85 i do see something! Fingers crossed it turns darker in a day or two 🤞🏻😁
@Pop1234 you an me both, trying not to symptom spot but if i think about it I had cramps yesterday just for about 5 mins, but it's probably something I noticed bc ttc and doesn't mean anything 😂 oh well it happens when it happens

@Katy85 I see it too! Mine was completely blank in comparison!

Katy85 · 13/03/2019 17:01

Thanks ladies, I'll take another tomorrow, but I won't relax until Monday when AF is officially a day or two late (I think it's due Saturday 🤔) and I'm getting a strong positive, or a digital "positive"

Hi ladies I’m new here. I’m currently 60 days late I usually do have long cycles of 45-48 days. I have taken numerous pregnancy tests and numerous brands but all negative. I’m so confused what to do now

Mum637k · 13/03/2019 19:46

@Pinksunset1 welcome! 😊 have you tried frer? I have heard of people getting bfp's 1-2 after AF was due but rare. I would go to a GP probably at this point see what's going on. Could be just a funny cycle or it could be good news 😊

Hi ladies, adding myself to the thread ☺️ 8dpo and lots of symptoms driving me crazy...

@mum637k hi, thanks for having me! I have a weird achy bruised feeling across my lower abdomen (I don't usually get stomach aches/pains, my AF pains always head straight for my back), boobs very sore and feel 'heavy', very mild dull backache, very mild nausea late afternoon/evening, high soft cervix, lots of creamy CM (sorry for tmi but enough to leave wet patches), bbt went up this morning from 36.45 to 36.54. Stupidly tested this morning and of course bfn... Anything from this sound promising..? 😂 x

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone could help me?
Me and my partner are trying to conceive our first baby but at the moment he works away so it's very hard to time it right. I have my period 25th of every month and I have been told ovulation happens around 14 days before the start of your next period. On my app it says predicted day of ovulation was 11th of this month. We dtd on 10th, 11th, 12th and this morning.
I was just wondering how accurate these apps are and my cycle is 28 days. If anyone else has a 28 day cycle when do you ovulate?
I didn't want to start going crazy using opks but I am getting frustrated now :(
And I hope every gets there BFPs soon!x

Mum637k · 13/03/2019 23:03

@guinicorn yes! I would say lots of that sounds promising, I hope you get a bfp soon 😁 I have no symptoms so far except cramping for 5 minutes a few days after ovulation. I think in 7 dpo. Not sure what to make of it but also not really thinking about it much.

Mum637k · 13/03/2019 23:08

@badger561 hi! 😊 I have a 28 day cycle and I do recommend using opks. It will put your mind at ease giving you a timeframe during which you definitely ovulate. I've been using them but I have only used them 3 cycles. We conceived the first cycle but that sadly ended in a mc. The first cycle I ovulated on day 9ish. So far, I got positive ovulation tests on day 9 in 2/3 cycles and 1 cycle I ovulated day 14. Most women who have 28 day cycles ovulate around day 14, but you could be different and if you are ttc you definitely want to know your best days 😊

badger561 · 13/03/2019 23:15

@Mum637k oh no I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you are feeling okay and soon fall again and have a healthy pregnancy! And thank you we Dtd 10,11,12,13 this month so fingers crossed I ovulated day 14 or later! If no luck this month will start using opks next month x

Mum637k · 13/03/2019 23:23

@badger561 I am mostly okay now thank you. And thanks for the well wishes I hope the same!☺️ fingers crossed for all of us this month 🤞🏻

Welcome to all the newbies 😊

@Katy85 good luck if you're retesting this morning.

@Mum637k How are you feeling? I think we are doing great not symptom spotting too much this month!!

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 08:10

@Pop1234 ya I think we are!! Sooo much better than last month. Took an IC this morning though 🙈 bfn, as expected. I think I an only 6-7 dpo. What a silly. I'm feeling fine though and don't have any symptoms at all. How are you feeling?

Katy85 · 14/03/2019 08:18

@badger561 hi, I also have a 28 day cycle, it got a little screwed up the first two cycles after coming off the pill end of Dec, so the app was useless for me, but third cycle was a bit more normal. But the app said I was due to ovulate on the 3rd, but I'm 99% certain it happened on the 2nd, I did use digital opks this cycle to help, as well as paying attention to cm etc. So I'm 12dpo today. Try not to symptom spot, especially prior to 6/7 dpo, as implantation doesn't happen til around then so one wouldn't experience pregnancy symptoms, only normal progesterone (sore boobs etc). It wasn't really til 10dpo that I really felt something was going on, I don't get the usual pregnancy symptoms, i don't get nauseous or sore boobs, I get reflux (literally never get heartburn/reflux other than during my first pregnancy) and shooting joint pains, after the third night in a row of experiencing those I thought, yeah I'm pretty sure I am pregnant. Very faint line yesterday morning at 11dpo, and today....

Katy85 · 14/03/2019 08:18

Better line today

Pinksunset1 · 14/03/2019 08:41

@mum637K yes tried that one and negative did another test this morning another not pregnant on the digital one I’m so upset as I still haven’t had a period and I don’t know what’s going on with my body x

Pop1234 · 14/03/2019 08:42

@Katy85 congrats that's deffo a BFP!!

@Mum637k you need some willpower 🤣 I'm going to try and hold off testing until Monday when I will be 12dpo. It really drove me insane last month testing all the time I can't do that again!! I'm 8 dpo today.

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 08:53

@Katy85 omg CONGRATS!!!!!! 😁😁😁 definitely positive. Have you told hubby? @Pop1234 send me some willpower please! I won't be testing again for a few days hopefully 😂 you're doing so good, not long to go till 12 dpo!

Congrats @Katy85!! Grin

AF for me so will have to keep trying Wink

Katy85 · 14/03/2019 10:09

@Pop1234 @Mum637k @Pinkcat231 thanks girls, yeah I showed my fella this morning, he's made up (and a little scared) not saying anything to our 5 year old yet, he will tell everyone!

Please keep updating this thread so I can see how you're all getting on for the rest of this cycle. sorry AF arrived Pinkcat231, I was gutted last month when she showed 5 days early, was so convinced it was implantation bleeding! I definitely advocate the use of OPKs, first cycle using them and its worked, now just have to pray it sticks!

Pinksunset1 · 14/03/2019 11:39

@mum637k I’m the one taking FRER I’m so upset today as been trying since October and still getting negatives this morning and also periods 61 days late

Pinksunset1 · 14/03/2019 11:40

@katy85 congrats happy for you x

guinicorn · 14/03/2019 13:18

@mum637k thank you ☺️ aches are feeling better today but I'm very weepy, the slightest thing is setting me off today! x
