13dpo, twinge in tummy but bfn

Hi all, first time posting on this. We have been ttc for 5 months now and since month 3 of ttc between 6dpo and 13dpo I get twinges in my lower left abdomen, sore breasts and cramps which don’t last long. Every time I think “this is it”! I have not been brave enough to take a test in the last couple of months and got AF when it was due. This time I thought I’d take the test and see. Took it yesterday and it was bfn (set my mood for New Year’s Day!). Woke up this morning and the twinge pains have gone and got cramps (usually get pms cramps a couple of days before due date). AF is apparently due 3/1 and I’m usually on time. I just wondered if anyone else had similar symptoms but then got bfn and what those pains could mean? It literally feels like something is latched onto me from the inside and then all of a sudden it’s gone. Sometimes stretching too much brings on stronger twinge pains. Appreciate any experiences/thoughts. First time trying! Thank you!

Me and you are cycle twins! I am also due AF tomorrow and am prayingggg for her not to come! I've had an unusual month this month and I'm trying not to read into that too much as I don't want to jinx things..

But I'm with you!

Please keep me updated as to what happens tomorrow! Sending baby dust!

Aww yay! Twin cycles! Still getting sharp pains every now and then...
If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been ttc?
All the very best to you too! Keeping everything crossed for us both! Keep me updating too x

This is my second cycle, took out my Mirena in the beginning of November.

DH had radiation and surgery for a tumor in his inner thigh in the summer of 2018 and we got some bad news from the doc this past fall when we went back for his one-year fertility check. I am still hopeful despite what the doc said as sperm tests can be super susceptible and sensitive to various factors. We basically decided after that appt. to try naturally and then if thing s weren't looking up after 6 months to get a second opinion and check on things again.

How about you?

I’m sorry to hear about the tumour your DH had and wish him all the best!
I love your positivity and sending you all baby dust possible!
It is my 5th cycle now. Woke up this morning with very bad cramps which I can only assume are related to AF! Let’s see what happens in the next couple of days! x

Thank you @HKHR22 ! We are slowly getting through all the news and recovering, but I'm not gonna lie it's a process just like TTC, long, emotional and complicated..

I hope that the cramps are not AF and possibly just early preg. related!

No signs of AF coming for me.. just what I would describe as laser point cramps haha it's like they start around my belly button and project down to my cervix, very not AF in my book... Will keep you posted!

Hey both can I join 😊 I'm in exact same position. Af due today but no sign as yet. I've had AF type cramps for the past 2 days, which I normally get before AF along with spotting but I've not had any spotting at all. I'm 13 dpo today. Cycle 7 TTC #2. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞

HKHR22 · 03/01/2020 16:21

@charlie0692
Hello! Fingers crossed for all of us! Keep us updated and good luck ☺️ x

@charlie0692 welcome! I hope they are a good type of non-AF cramp! Baby dust all around!! Let us know how things develop!

Update- no AF today and I’ve continued to feel lightheaded and like I’m coming down with a new cold... will update as we go into the weekend! Probably testing on Sunday if she’s a no show tomorrow Smile

charlie0692 · 03/01/2020 21:22

Hey all, still no sign of AF, pains are on off, dont really know what to make of them. Trying not to get my Hope's up as they are more than likely just AF 😔 fingers crossed for us all!! Will let you know if I test in the morning x

Well ladies, I'm out for this month as AF came quietly and brutally like a tsunami.. lol
Another day another cycle...

How are you two getting on? :)

HKHR22 · 06/01/2020 09:40

No sign of AF for me over the weekend. Cramps on and off too. Got to work this morning and I think it may start today as saw a bit of pink/red on tissue paper. 😔

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Just thought I'd update you all. Af was due today/tomorrow but I only went and got my bfp on a frer last night!! I cant believe it, trying not to get too excited as its early days but I just cant believe it. Wishing you all baby dust!!

HKHR22 · 29/01/2020 20:56
