5 days late with BFN

Hi,
So my periods are always regular, never missed one, never late... you get my drift.
AF is now 5 days late. But I keep getting BFN. I’ve been using the clear blue digital.

Only symptoms I really have though is tiredness, backaches and not interested in foods.
I had a MC 7 years ago, and had zero symptoms I was pregnant, I was too busy to notice my period was late, and found out when I was 8 weeks.
Is there anyone that had a BFP pretty much later on? I’m driving myself insane with being in between late and negatives

Try a different pregnancy test. I think clear blue are renowned for not picking up a v early pregnancy. The First Response tests seem to be the best and ones everyone uses. If you get a BFP on that try a Clear Blue a couple of days after. Good luck Smile
My AF is currently 2 days late but waiting a couple more days to test as I'm only 9-10DPO

I think I will be buying a few different ones to try them all lol! But fingers crossed over the weekend I get something.
When my DH came home from work tonight he says my body feels really warm as if I had a fever, and I usually such a cold person, always wrapped up like I live in an igloo lol.
You must have so much patience being able to wait it out. Good luck hun :)

Your symptoms sound positive, I'm currently in a very similar position. My periods have been bang on to the day the last few months and I'm 4 days late today. Took a test and BFN, don't know whether to test again in a few days or wait it out longer to see if AF shows. I absolutely hate seeing negative after negative.

Good luck to you xxxx

Sunshine1239 · 31/01/2020 23:35

Hang in there and keep testing although don’t listen to symptoms

Symptoms are caused by pregnancy hormones produced during and after implantation - if high enough to make you aware they’d by high enough for a sensitive test

charlottees89 · 01/02/2020 07:42

@Sweethaven Haha I know! I haven't really seen my DH because of work and I want us both to be there as it's our first time TTC.
Think this weekend will be a test of my nerve though. Going to try wait until Sunday, I just don't want a negative to feel disheartened :( let me know how you get on x

@Mamahannah2019 I’ve been the same, keep telling myself to wait longer and give my body time . But I really can’t help myself I’m heading to the shops soon to buy a load of test. It really drives you nuts just the in between huh! Good luck xx

@Sunshine1239 will certainly try my best, thank you :) xx

Bl0ndeye · 01/02/2020 23:18

@Mamahannah2019 when are you next going to test ? I wish I would either get my period or get a positive this limbo is driving me crazzyyyy

Mamahannah2019 · 02/02/2020 00:41

@Bl0ndeye I tested on Tuesday which was the day after I was due and had a negative so I have just been waiting for AF to show. Not too sure when to test next, you?

charlottees89 · 02/02/2020 07:39

How many days DPO is everyone? Might be the reason 🤔 I think they advise testing from about 12DPO which is me this morning 🙈

Bl0ndeye · 02/02/2020 08:37

Well my flo app moved my estimates ov date last night based on my symptoms I’ve logged so I’m not 14 days p/o until tomorrow and it’s moved my period to being due tomorrow . Makes me feel abit less crazy I suppose as i was scared I was guna miss carry getting bfn 4 days late xx

Mummy2wannabe2020 · 02/02/2020 08:37

Hiya all I'm new to all this but so many woman seem to be in similar situations I figured would be good to talk. I have been trying for our second since Novemebr so not long. I had spotting 2 days before my period was due and this has now stopped. I am 3 days late and I have been using cheap test I bought online but all have said negative so far. I was thinking may have ovulated late due to spotting so close to period? Any advice would be much appreciated x

Eggotchi · 02/02/2020 09:04

Hiya, i'm in the same boat too. My period was due on tuesday 28th but i had sore boobs and felt off so took a test wednesday morning - bfn. I had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday and boobs are still really sore and enlarged, and I've had a few twinges and some bloating. Will test again Monday if af doesn't arrive by then. Our bodies can be so frustrating sometimes!!

Brodijen · 02/02/2020 09:14

Hey all and hi again @Bl0ndeye Smile Still cracking up here, CD33 and no AF and all BFNs. Been trying every type of test the last few mornings and no luck. Nearly wish AF would just come now so I’d know. I got a BFN on CD33 with my last pregnancy but unfortunately that ended up in a miscarriage in Oct so it’s back to square one now and going slightly insane! So glad I’m not the only one.

Brodijen · 02/02/2020 09:15

Oops I meant I got BFP in CD33 in my last pregnancy!

Bl0ndeye · 02/02/2020 09:19

Yea that’s exactly what I’m scared of @brodijen loosing it again. I’m same I just wana know we’re I stand sick of feeling bloated and gross

Mummy2wannabe2020 · 02/02/2020 09:39

@Eggotchi hopefully in a few days maybe levels will be higher to test, fingers crossed x

Aw @Sweethaven that’s so tough. I’m in a silo at position and trying to promise myself I won’t test the next day but of course I do. Only two tests left in my stash now and did a clearblue digital this morning. The stark “not pregnant” on it maybe was a wake up for me and I need to just stop. Hopefully AF will come this week and I can start again because I don’t think I am pregnant. Just know you’re not on your own and you can do this.

Thank you :)! It’s so hard not to just keep testing, Keep hanging in there. It’s so annoying just not knowing what’s going on with our bodies! X

Brodijen · 02/02/2020 13:32

@Sweethaven I hear you, I would give anything to know what’s going on so I could stop thinking about it!
