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?

Hi I've just tested today with 2 crappy Poundland pregnancy tests and an ovulation test kit and they're all faint positives. I was due on my period today but it's been a no show. I've had really awful cramps since Sunday. It started off with a stabbing sensation near my ovary spreading to the rest of my stomach and has been coming and going ever since, along with awful gas and indigestion. Its exactly the same sensation as AF and it started 3 days before period so anything is really possible. So don't give up hope if you're having AF symptoms. Also a lot of the crap you read on Google is really general, every woman is different so don't feel deflated. My mum had periods for the first three months of her pregnancy with my brother

Aww thanks for sharing @fuddlestix and congratulations!!
It is really hard to not google every single symptom but yes you are right getting pregnant is a personal thing and everyone's symptoms are different.

@Fuddlestix congrats!!

@Mum637k @Louise392 have you done anymore tests?

Mum637k · 20/02/2019 21:14

@Pop1234 i have only 1 frer left and I'm going to try reallly hard to save it for the weekend Grin by then it should be clearer what is going on. what about you?

Louise392 · 20/02/2019 21:24

Not till tomorrow morning @pop1234 I have 2 frer, one for tomorrow and one for sunday if af doesnt show on saturday

Pop1234 · 20/02/2019 21:35

@Mum637k @Louise392 I've got one more frer too and going to try and save it. AF is due Sunday. Still wondering if it was a line earlier 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Fuddlestix · 20/02/2019 23:44

I can't say I didn't Google every symptom for the past 7months, it's too hard not to but it can be a bit disheartening as there's a lot of basic information that would suggest pms or Af rather than a wider spectrum of information and unusual symptoms, bleeding, cramping etc. Mumsnet has been a lot better than anything I could find on google. Fingers crossed for you all, I hope you all get your bfp ☺️☺️☺️

Louise392 · 21/02/2019 08:50

Ive done my test @mum637k and its a BFP!!!! Whoop!

Mum637k · 21/02/2019 09:08

@Louise392 😂 what a cool cucumber! Meanwhile us women freaking out for days haha! How long have you been ttc if you don't mind sharing?☺️

Louise392 · 21/02/2019 09:14

when he collected the tests for me last night from boots @mum637k i tld him af is due saturday, he was like why dont you wait til sunday then???
Whats is this waiting thing he speaks of?? haha!

I came off the pill in October, had my 1st period December through xmas week then we started trying in January so only 2 cycles but we did SMEP this month so dtd every other day from the day after i finished af in January.

Mum637k · 21/02/2019 09:15

@Louise392 exactly, how can they expect us to wait?!😂 what is SMEP? 2nd cycle that is fab!!! I'm so happy for you!!!😁

Louise392 · 21/02/2019 09:30

@mum637k Sperm meets egg plan - you basically dtd every other day from CD8 then every day in your fertile week

We didnt do it every day though in the fertile week, stuck to every other day throughout.

I know it defo works!!

Louise392 · 21/02/2019 09:31

When you testing again @mum637k?

Mum637k · 21/02/2019 09:37

@Louise392 ahhhh okay I haven't heard that before! Just started searching the forums recently 😆 so I am not sure when to test again but possibly this weekend I will. I posted his in the tww thread,I am lost :

🤣 i am usually 28 days pretty much every cycle but here is my problem: i have only tracked ovulation once before this and it was around day 10,but that month I fell pregnant so don't know when AF would have come. Unfortunately it ended up being a mc. Since then this is the first month ttc and this month ovulation was around day 14. So when am I to expect AF?? Day 28? Or later because I ovulated later than last time? Or was last time earlier ovulation than usual? So confused 🙈

OP posts:
Louise392 · 21/02/2019 10:11

@mum637k From what i have read it really depends on your cycle, some people say yes your period would be later but others say no

What CD are you today? and when is af usually due?

Mum637k · 21/02/2019 10:48

@Louise392 I'm cd 26 atm And usually AF would be cd 28. Took a cheapie test this morning 🤣 was negative. I'll prob take my last frer this weekend and then if negativ or vey very faint ill assume AF is coming late. Oh I really really want a bfp though!!!😆

Pop1234 · 21/02/2019 11:30

Congrats @Louise392 that's a good line!!

I did another this morning. There was a slight line again but don't know if it's an evap it's that faint still but then I guess it wouldn't have got much darker in 12 hours apart. Do frers get evaps?

Louise392 · 21/02/2019 13:20

Thanks @pop1234 :)

Can you upload a pic? Ive never known anyone say about an evap line on a frer only cheapies.

Pop1234 · 21/02/2019 13:24

This is it. I really don't think there is anything there x

Pop1234 · 21/02/2019 13:24

@Louise392 forgot to tag you sorry x

Louise392 · 21/02/2019 13:35

@pop1234 I am not sure whether there is a very faint one or not, think i have line eyes, sorry.

How many dpo are you again? when is af due?

Pop1234 · 21/02/2019 13:38

@Louise392 I think I have line eyes too. I am 12 dpo and AF due Sunday. I had 3 pregnancies in 2018 and got caught first cycle with all 3 but all of them ended in MC. I had a BPF at 11/12 dpo with them so I think I'm probably out this month aren't I?
