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?

Congratulations @Chembecky what a lovely line!

I'm 4+3 today and my FR looks just like yours!

Chembecky · 27/04/2019 08:15

@ducksandacorns congratulations! That's reassuring that our tests look the same...!! Haha! Is it your first? It's mine....dh and I don't have a clue what we're doing...!

Mum637k · 27/04/2019 08:33

@Chembecky congratulations!!! 😊 what exciting news. This must be a lucky thread, I think we all have bfp's now 😁 how are you feeling, do you have any symptoms?

Chembecky · 27/04/2019 08:37

@Mum637k thanks! I'm feeling OK. I had a strange metallic taste in my mouth last week, my boobs have been a bit sore and I've noticed little bumps on them and I had a little bit of nausea this week...but thats it. How about you?

ducksandacorns · 27/04/2019 08:50

@Chembecky and my symptoms sound the same as yours too! Although had nothing yesterday or today so far which I don't like!

How far along is everyone on here?

Mum637k · 27/04/2019 08:58

@ducksandacorns congratulations to you too if I haven't said yet!! I am 4+7.

@Chembecky sounds good then! I only have sore boobs and terrible constipation/bloating really. I had a bit of nausea before bfp but not really since then. I feel pretty good so it's strange for me and making me a little nervous 😂 but hopefully it just means I'm lucky!

Congrats to the new BFP's!! Yay!

@Mum637k can you remember @Louise392 who was originally on this thread with us? I wonder how she is getting on.

My symptoms haven't got lighter I don't think, in fact my boobs are killing today. But I only had one week where I felt really sick. Now I just have sore boobs, very tired and little sick waves. Nothing to major though.

Mum637k · 27/04/2019 11:45

@Pop1234 I do remember @Louise392 , our first BFP! 😊 glad you're doing good, it is pretty nice to actually feel okay and not sick as a dog. It just worries us because we equate feeling sick with the baby developing properly. But I just remind myself that the 2 aren't actually connected. I wouldn't mind staying feeling pretty good while baby grows properly! 😄 have your boobs grown? Silly but I am a small B cup and wouldn't mind them growing a bit haha

@Louise392 yayyy glad you and baby are good! So nice to see this ultrasound❤️ I hope I can see a nice one this time around too 😊

@Louise392 so glad to hear you and baby are doing well, I have another three weeks til my scan (Will be 13 weeks exactly on that day) and it's driving me crazy!!

@Mum637k @pop1234 in the nicest possible way, I'm glad you're both feeling a bit crappy from time to time 😂. At this stage it's the only connection we have to little bean. Oh and I'm still a B cup, but a really painful B cup.

@Chembecky congrats, knew you'd get that bfp! It's a strong line so that's good hcg levels.

Hi lovely ladies,
I've taken such pleasure reading this entire thread. I am hoping to join in and you can be my lucky charm...as I could sure as hell use some.
I am 8 days late and all negative tests. My cycles have been regular 28-29 days for the last 6 months, so this is really bugging me.
Could you send some of your lucky baby dust my way please as I am going out of my mind.
I rang the Drs and they said to wait another week, do a test and then ring them. Do they not know a week is like a year in TTC-World?!

Mum637k · 29/04/2019 16:09

@LifeOfRiley63 hello! Sending you baby dust* 😊 are you using frer? Hopefully this is your lucky cycle but if not then next one will be!

LifeOfRiley63 · 29/04/2019 17:40

Hi @Mum637K
I've used a variety of cheapies and earlier in the week used 2 x ClearBlue digitalis. I'm a bit loathed to spend £8 on FRERs for more BFNs...its a mean cycle

Katy85 · 29/04/2019 17:46

@LifeOfRiley63 Hi, I think we'd all advocate the FRERs! Have you got any symptoms, my very first one was heartburn for three consecutive days x

LifeOfRiley63 · 29/04/2019 17:53

@Katy85 I lost weight recently so my boobs shrank, but now they feel bigger again, my nipples feel really sensitive, my lower back aches, my appetite has gone and I feel small waves of nausea. But I've had all these before so it's quite frustrating knowing it could all be nothing.

Chembecky · 29/04/2019 19:09

@LifeOfRiley63 those were the symptoms that I had :) you should be able to get a BFP soon if you are pregnant. It might have just taken a while for the hcg to build up high enough to be tested. Make sure when you test you look for even the faintest of lines Smile

Chembecky · 29/04/2019 19:10

I forgot to say - I made my booking in appointment with the midwife today! In 2 weeks. Very exciting...!!

LifeOfRiley63 · 29/04/2019 19:18

@Chembecky I think I'll be an expert at those Magic Eye puzzles with the amount of faint lines I can see...usually just evaps though Grin

Mum637k · 29/04/2019 19:40

@LifeOfRiley63 I totally understand, I was the same way then one day I thought I'm going to try a frer and if it's negative then I know. But t was a bfp😊 had only the faintest if faintest lines on the cheapie at the same time. I would say go for the frer, you are quite late and at this point you should get a line if there is hcg. And if you don't then you can at least put it out of mind. We've got our fingers crossed for you!!😊

@Mum637K Go on then, you're twisted my arm. I've Amazon Primed some Wink

Chembecky · 29/04/2019 19:54

@LifeOfRiley63 good luck! FX for you and sending you babydust....!!

Katy85 · 29/04/2019 19:57

@LifeOfRiley63 it all sounds like it's on the right track but hcg levels aren't high enough yet to be detected on a standard test, try a FRER and use first wee of the day, later on its very diluted and can skew the result. I had the lower back thing, and appetite was up and down, I tend to find my boobs are most sore and swollen first thing in the morning

LifeOfRiley63 · 29/04/2019 19:59

Thanks lovelies Flowers
I just worry something is wrong, 8 days late and no HCG just smells like trouble to me.Hmm

Katy85 · 29/04/2019 20:01

@Chembecky is partner going with you? Its handy if he can as they'll want to go through all your family medical history on both sides, and they take a lot of blood so make sure you've eaten and drank etc so you don't feel faint. It's good though, it feels like a proper milestone! I have the same midwife from last time, she's lovely, and was at the hospital when I was hobbling down to the delivery room
