Anyone get a BFP after BFN

I'm approx 9dpo and have been having lots of twinges and pinching on my right side, been very very tired so decided to test today and got a BFN.....

Anyone had this and then gone on to get BFP? Or am I out this month?

Sorry been trying for 9 months and getting restless 🙄

@Trying93 I can imagine my love. Do you think you'll speak to the GP if you're not getting the result? Could be worth asking if it's been 12 months, just to be sure? So yes tomorrow you'll officially be late. Maybe a test if its not here in the morn? Just in case? I'm CD23, but pretty certain I ovulated early either way, waiting for Sat to test 😬 if AF does come I'm certain it would be Sunday. So Sat seems a good day to me!

Probably not been trying about 18 months but been pregnant once and me and DH work shifts so getting the right days can be a nightmare.

When I had my miscarriage they scanned my ovaries, fallopian tubes, womb, etc and said everything looks as it should which is a relief.

I'm goin to try hold off to tuesday and see because I think it's on it's way.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you

Gigi318 · 15/09/2019 19:07

@Trying93 oh I can imagine hard to sync up and have the energy too! That can be so frustrating. That's such a relief. Hoping you get to sync up at the right time, lovely!

Yes, Tuesday sounds good 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 not long to wait!

Sorry ladies I'm back 🙄 my AF started and was really heavy in the morning, I had to change my tampon three/four times within a few hours then nothing....it's lasted about a day and then stopped... Not had any cramps or normal period pains, just few twinges and backache.. So baffled 😂😂

Took another test and bfn so definitely not pregnant... Anyone else had this?!

@Cabbiefix was just thinking about you. How bizarre! Hmm literally nothing since? May not have been AF then? I'm not so sure on this one tbh, but if you're still not bleeding in two days I'd be inclined to test again 😬🤞🏻

Cabbiefix · 16/09/2019 18:03

Thanks @Gigi318, I know it's weird right?! 😂 Think you're right, I'll give it a couple of days and see again 🤷🏻‍♀️

How are you getting on? Your back any better now hon?

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 18:18

@Cabbiefix it really is. But I just think if no AF just yet don't be too down, just give it two days and retest 🤞🏻 Back has been all better since Saturday. Hurrah! Waves of nausea are pushing me over the edge though. Lots of twinges too so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Cabbiefix · 16/09/2019 18:42

@Gigi318 nausea's a good sign! Will defo keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞did you say your AF is due this weekend?

Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 18:56

@Cabbiefix thank you, babe. Yes on Sunday I believe. So I'm going to test on Saturday 😬👏🏻

HoldingOn2Hope · 16/09/2019 19:28

@Cabbiefix I did have a period like that but it was after my mc. It started and then stopped but a week later I spotted for about 10 days before AF came along again.
@Gigi318 keeping my fingers crossed for you! Stay away AF!

HoldingOn2Hope · 16/09/2019 19:30

I've had a real rubbish day today. Tired from a busy weekend so I'm blaming the tiredness - it's the best excuse for a crap day isn't it?
I went to see my bestie and her newborn baby boy and was fine while I was there but came home and cried! And have been teary all evening.
I hope tomorrow is a better day xx

Cabbiefix · 16/09/2019 20:23

@HoldingOn2Hope aw hon I'm sorry your not having a good time at the minute, it's so hard being around newborns but I promise your time will come 🤞🏻
I think sometimes when you wake up and you know you're in for a crap day just let it happen and have a day feeling a bit down, holding it in doesn't do you any favours. I do hope tomorrow is a bit better for you tho 🥰

So sorry, my phone died a few days ago and has only just been fixed and returned to me! I'm still in limbo as there's still no sign of a period yet (was due on Saturday according to my app) but have done two first response tests since then and both negative... given how sensitive those tests are I'm inclined to think that period is just taking its sweet time! (I've got a commiseration G&T lined up already!) 😂😂 best of luck to those still waiting to find out this month xx

Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 22:34

@HoldingOn2Hope thank you, lovely! And so sorry to hear of your mc. How are you/where are you now? Could explain the emotions - but yes we all have them. Urgh - it's hard work having female hormones isn't it! Write the day off chick and start a fresh tomorrow. It's a brand new day 💫

@mummabubs thank you and hoping you get a BFP soon - or AF, as it's frustrating not knowing either way isn't it. So you're two days late at the moment? Do you feel like it's coming on?

PrinnyPree · 16/09/2019 23:34

Yep BFN at 11DPO got a BFP squinter today at 14DPO I dunno if its because I drink so much water and tea during the day which might dilute the hormone even the next morning! However I get the impression most people don't get their first squinter until 14-17DPO and I think most of these tests have a really low chance of working until you've actually missed a period anyway, its nice if you get to find out early, but seriously its just waaaay too early to count yourself out. Smile fingers crossed x

NightlyBye · 17/09/2019 00:06

Aww, just caught up with things on here, sorry to those who got AF too.

Gigi318 · 17/09/2019 06:44

@PrinnyPree that's definitely so true from what I've seen on here. Lots are getting those BFPs even up to a week after a missed AF! Will you retest again? Probably re the fluids - and I think everybody is so different as well, some will have lots of detectable hcg and others not so much, so always difficult. It's why I'm holding off testing 🤞🏻

@NightlyBye hey chick, how are you doing??

Trying93 · 17/09/2019 07:21

Hope everyones doing okay.

@PrinnyPree that's great you got a squinted. Keep us updated when you do another test.

I tested this morning BFN so seems my period is just late this month. Will test in a few days if it's still not showed up.

Good luck to everyone still waiting to test

Gigi318 · 17/09/2019 07:28

@Trying93 morning babe!

(And morning to all of you ladies)

You're still in the game chick if no AF. What dpo are you again (sorry, so many to keep track of). I'm cramping lightly, a little nausea but nothing a slice of toast can't settle! How are you feeling chick?

Trying93 · 17/09/2019 08:00

@Gigi318 14 days since lh surge so prob 13dpo. Will just need to wait and see what happens.

Nausea is a good sign 🤞 I feel normal, most of the time I dont have any signs my period is coming so just a waiting game now

Gigi318 · 17/09/2019 08:28

@Trying93 I'm hoping so - either that or I'm going insane. We shall see on Saturday! Or if AF turns up. Not bad that you don't have symptoms - as long as AF stays away you're still in the game!!! Woohoo!

mummabubs · 17/09/2019 09:30

I'm out for this month, AF just arrived 4 days late. To be honest although I'm a little gutted I'm just glad to know either way! Good luck to those still in the running for this month. 😊

Gigi318 · 17/09/2019 09:46

@mummabubs sorry to hear that chick, but I like you're feeling. The dreaded TWW is over and you're still in the overall game. AF is here and that's a sign that a new healthy cycle is starting. Relax a little while she's here and then get yourself excited for OD and all the DTD woohoo. You've got this!

PrinnyPree · 17/09/2019 10:17

@Gigi318 @Trying93 thanks guys did another test (sainsburys own brand) this morning and much darker, no squinting, so I'm calling the doctors. (Just hope this one sticks as last one wasn't a sticky bean and I lost it the next day) Good luck everyone xxx Flowers

Gigi318 · 17/09/2019 10:24

@PrinnyPree exciting stuff chick! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 keep us updated!
