Anyone got a BFN the day AF is due then a BFP later?

AF due today but no sign and normally I get spotting the day before, had none.
Had loads of “symptoms” but I know they could all be pre AF hormonal changes.
BFN on an IC and am just wondering if I would definitely get a positive today?

Decided after last nights BFN to hold off until at least friday. I can't deal with another disappointing BFN.
Starting to think that surely it should have shown even the faintest positive by now if was pregnant.
Will keep you updated.

I know the feeling of seeing BFN. I rather see AF then see BFN

Wishing56 · 13/03/2019 08:14

@Explorers10 yeah thats how i feel now

Wishing56 · 13/03/2019 18:55

Pretty sure I am out. AF seems to be on her way. Good luck to rest of you! X

Yes. This can easily happen. It depends on exactly when you ovulated and when you implanted. The fertilised egg has to travel so it can implant. The amount of days this takes is different for different people. Only when the egg is implanted does the hcg hormone start producing. use pink tests as far better. Clear blue are apparently giving false positives!

No, not had that. Whenever my period has been late and I've tested it's always been a true negative and period arrived days later. It is shit!

Explorers10 · 13/03/2019 21:38

@wishing56 sorry to hear AF has arrived! Still waiting for mine!

Wishing56 · 14/03/2019 08:52

@explorers10 fingers crossed for you!

Teaonthebedsheets · 14/03/2019 09:37

Sorry to hear that Wishing56. Still waiting here too. Took another FRER yesterday, still negative. Period was due last Sunday so I'm not going to test anymore unless it still hasn't arrived by Sunday.

Explorers10 · 14/03/2019 10:17

Mine was also due on Sunday but I’m feeling quite crampy so I reckon it’s on its way

Explorers10 · 14/03/2019 19:59

AF arrived! Day 34 usually 29 cycle. I did have a bad sore throat so maybe this pushed ovulation back a few days!

Teaonthebedsheets · 14/03/2019 20:07

Just arrived for me too. 4 days late, unheard of and extremely annoying! Oh well. Onto the next cycle. Good luck this month to all.

Explorers10 · 14/03/2019 20:35

I know extremely annoying plus false hope of possibly being pregnant! Also means my due date is Xmas day!!

Sorry I disappeared, AF came with a weird stop start and then became the AF from actual hell.
So I was curled up feeling sorry for myself!
Just going to catch up with the thread now

Sorry to hear that for all of you. Hopefully christmas babies for all of us! X

Explorers10 · 14/03/2019 21:16

When these tests say BFN & I’m late I’m actually going to believe them next time! Terrible false hope! Why do our bodies play tricks on us. Going to try and stay positive. 1 day it will happen

Teaonthebedsheets · 14/03/2019 22:42

I know. I can't believe I took five FRERs Blush what a waste. But I really did feel hopeful. Well looks like we're all in a similar boat now timing wise. Could keep the thread going as we move through the cycle? Hope you're feeling better Aberforthsgoat

Explorers10 · 14/03/2019 22:53

@teaonthebedsheets Oh no not 5 FRERs! It’s awful isn’t it. Im up for keeping the thread going.

Wishing56 · 15/03/2019 06:56

I ended up taking 5 tests as well.
I am with you @explorers10 next time i will believe the negative.
Each cycle has taught me to not do something. After cycle 1 i decided not to test early anymore and wait for AF, cycles 2&3 dont try and symptom spot as AF and pregnancy symptoms are basically the same, now cycle 4 believe the negative!

Going to use this next month to get healthier and lose some weight.

Definitely keep positive. I believe that everything happens for a reason and we will all get our BFP in the end.

Happy to keep the thread going. X

Explorers10 · 15/03/2019 07:15

@wishing56 im also on cycle 5 now so in the same boat. I’m going to try and relax more & just dtd as and when without using opks. Very hard I know but i feel like I’ve put too much pressure on myself the last few months

Wishing56 · 15/03/2019 10:33

Good plan @explorers10. I havent started doing OPKs yet. Going to give it a few more months before start doing those.

Teaonthebedsheets · 15/03/2019 14:19

Same here re ovulation testing, my husband is worried I'll become too obsessed with TTC if I monitor it as we're still quite early days of trying.

Wishing56 · 15/03/2019 15:00

Same. I track on an app so i know roughly when ovulation occurs but my husband doesnt even want to know any of the details as he doesnt want any pressure.

Explorers10 · 15/03/2019 18:33

Thanks @wishing56 and @teaonthebedsheets that’s helpful that you both not obsessing and taking it easy TTC. I think I have become too obsessed & keep fearing the worse like it hasn’t happened as something is wrong. Really need to try and chill out. Going on holiday on Sunday so really hope I can take my mind off TTC

Wishing56 · 15/03/2019 18:48

Enjoy your holiday! x
