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 you're right, I should just enjoy not having symptoms and I spoke too soon😆 had some stretching pains this evening noticeable enough to have to sit down! Same as @Pop1234 I'd love to have a whatsapp group after 12 wk scan 🤞🏻

Hey guys hope you're all well. Had some worrying symptoms over here.. Been having some brown spotting since Thursday last week.. Called GP they've booked me for an early scan this week (Thursday). I'm so worried.. Keep reading that this is normal for lots of ladies and they still have successful pregnancies but also wondering if its the beginning of the end... Ive still got lots of symptoms so hope it still could be positive news!

I'm also confused a bit by dates. My flo app says I'm 7 weeks but NHS calculator says 6.. Might be too early to see a heartbeat on the scan?

Katy85 · 24/04/2019 07:35

@Pop1234 @Mum637k sounds good, I know we all want to get to that milestone first!

@Inthesky42 try not to worry, I have a friend in work who is now about 20weeks and she's had two incidents of bleeding early on, baby is completely fine, and they've just put her under consultant led care rather than midwife so she'll be more closely monitored x

Pop1234 · 24/04/2019 08:16

@Mum637k @Katy85 got my scan at 1.30. So nervous 😩 please keep everything crossed for me.

Katy85 · 24/04/2019 10:06

@Pop1234 it'll all be fine lovely, please let us know how it goes 🤞

Ladies I need your reassurance,
I'm trying to conceive baby number 2. My little girl is currently 10 months old so it wasn't long ago that I was pregnant.
I got a positive opk on the 09/04/2019 so we baby danced on that day and for many days after. The two week wait has been horrible, I feel pregnant. I am hormonal as hell, extremely tired all the time and my breasts have enlarged also.
Despite this, all the tests I've taken (cheap ones) have been negative. I haven't tested for the last 3 days, I'm trying to wait until Friday.
The reason why I'm questioning it is because I was wondering if anyone has had this sort of experience? This is the 3rd month of trying and I have denfinatly have no felt as pregnant and I do now.

Mum637k · 24/04/2019 11:00

@Pop1234 we've got everything crossed!! 😊

@Katy85 and all ladies- I had such bad cramps that they woke me up in the middle of the night. Has anyone had such painful stretching pains?

@Inthesky42 It could be too early to see a heartbeat but it could also be detected. Hopefully the scan will provide some reassurance😊 when is your scan?

@Leahparis98 welcome! 😊 I believe it is possible for you to be pregnant despite the negative tests. Many women only get positive results days after missed AF. When is AF due? Also, the cheapie tests are not very sensitive so you would only get noticeable positive result on it close to AF or days after.

@Leahparis98 try a FRER Smile

Leahparis98 · 24/04/2019 11:43

Ah I see, that's the thing. I Don't know when AF is due as they're very irregular, suspected PCOS. I'm currently waiting blood results to confirm if I do have it.
Oh I see, I might just splash out on a Clear Blue.
Thank you

Leahparis98 · 24/04/2019 11:45

@Pop1234 I will, thank you!

Pop1234 · 24/04/2019 11:47

@Leahparis98 a FRER is more sensitive than a clear blue Smile

Katy85 · 24/04/2019 14:12

@Mum637k I've had some stretching sensations, low down on the right hand side, very uncomfortable but my uterus is already pretty stretched from having my son so not too bad, you may feel it more though.
@Leahparis98 I second the others, FRERs are really sensitive, I got a very faint positive at 11dpo, three days after I started having pregnancy symptoms (for me it was heartburn)

Pop1234 · 24/04/2019 14:39

@Katy85 @Mum637k so far so good!! Measuring 8 weeks 5 days exactly to my dates. Got another scan in two weeks. Yay!!

Mum637k · 24/04/2019 14:50

@Pop1234 yyyyaaaayyyyyyy!!! So happy all is well 😊 I booked in for an early scan for next Saturday. I am so nervous, I reallywant to everything to go well this time.

@Pop1234 great news, did they manage to get the heartbeat rate?

Pop1234 · 24/04/2019 15:38

@Katy85 they don't measure it in my EPU but said everything looked great 🤞

@Mum637k that's exciting how many weeks will you be?

Mum637k · 24/04/2019 15:41

@Pop1234 My app says I'll be 6+7 based on LMP

OP posts:
Katy85 · 24/04/2019 16:41

#Pop1234 well that's the main thing, that he/she is growing stronger. What your EDD? Mine's 25th November, 5 days after my partners birthday so I'll start taking bets on how close their birthdays will be in the end 😂

Pop1234 · 24/04/2019 17:30

@Katy85 puts me at 29th November, exactly the same as my LMP. When I went two weeks ago I was measuring 6 + 1 day so it has caught up with itself too by 4 days. I'm so happy/nervous though 

@Mum637k that's good, should see a little heartbeat then. Is it through baby bond or somewhere else?

Mum637k · 24/04/2019 18:44

@Pop1234 no, it's future babies. Have you heard of them? One of my friends recommended them she had early scans there

Hi all. I've been reading through this thread to get a bit of support/insight! AF was due yday and I feel like i have some pregnancy symptoms. I took a FRER on Sun but BFN (altho looking at some of the pics of feint lines I'm wondering if it was?!) and I did an IC yday but BFN again (altho I don't think I used a good sample). I think I'll test again in the morning (which I think will be 15dpo) and hopefully it will be positive, otherwise I don't know what is going on because AF hasn't been more than 1 day late since I had my implant out in Aug!

Anyone have any words of advice? I don't want to keep testing and getting BFNs Sad. Thanks!

Inthesky42 · 24/04/2019 19:20

Hey @chembecky and @leahparis98 I didn't get my BFP on a FRER until AF was 5 days late so there's always hope!

@katy85 glad your scan went well. Super exciting!

My scan is tomorrow.. To see what's going on with the brown spotting..hopefully all is OK, crossing my fingers and toes!

Chembecky · 24/04/2019 19:22

@Inthesky42 - thank you! That gives me hope....!

Inthesky42 · 24/04/2019 19:23

Sorry @chembecky meant to say the temptation to test daily is always there but try and be relaxed about it.. Id gone through 9 cycles before my BFP and in that time I'd ended up deciding not to test until AF was properly late.. Can get pretty expensive otherwise! Try to keep your mind on other things if you can. Some people are lucky and get faint positives before they're late but there's something reassuring about a nice strong line when you defo are (or at least that's how I felt so I didn't have to really question it) x
