AF due today, still BFN. Anyone else?

Hi ladies,
AF was due today, and still testing BFN. I used a First Detection Early Response for my SMU. Right now I should be around 13-14 DPO. Am I out for this cycle? My cervix is still high, and soft. My CM has changed over the two days, it went from white "lotiony" consistency to now more watery. Is this something anyone else experienced before getting BFP?
I have had a few other symptoms of early pregnancy: I am feeling a twinge in my lower right pelvic side, I am a bit dizzy, intense thirst, and my body temperature is about a degree higher than normal. Maybe I am symptom spotting, but hopefully someone else had something similar.
Thanks

Hi! I'm a few days late and only just today got a faint bfp Smile the rest were complete bfn. I have had similar symptoms as you up til now too - I wouldn't say you're out yet!!

Me too, period due yesterday. Some spotting so thought that was that but it never went any further. Took a cheap test this morning which was negative. Then nothing more period wise today 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m probably clinging on to hope but it’s not over till it’s over!

murphs2 · 17/03/2020 21:03

ps Congratulations @RJ44 lovely news on your pregnancy!!!

Purplezinger · 17/03/2020 22:26

@RJ44 Thank you for sharing that, and congrats on BFP 🥳 ! Gives me a wee bit of hope.
@murphs2 when do you plan on testing again?

Tomorrow morning 🤞🏻 You? @Purplezinger

murphs2 · 18/03/2020 06:44

Another negative? But no period? All very strange. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you today @Purplezinger

Purplezinger · 18/03/2020 18:39

@murphs2 Took a cheapie this AM with FMU and got a negative. Still no sign of AF. I think I will wait another two days to test, and hopefully by Friday something will change. Either AF shows up, or a BFP. Fingers crossed.
Heres to hoping and waiting haha.

Any news @murphs2 @Purplezinger ? Smile

murphs2 · 19/03/2020 09:24

No period! But like @Purplezinger I’m waiting until tomorrow morning to test 🤞🏻 That will be three days late, so should show up on any test.

ttcchapter1 · 19/03/2020 10:38

Af was due on Sunday! still no show and negative tests and do not feel any af pains like I usually do. Its so confusing. :(

Purplezinger · 19/03/2020 18:16

@RJ44 no signs of AF yet. I have had no cramps. My cervix is still high and soft, and CM is watery/ white sitcky. This is very confusing, but maybe by tomorrow morning I will have some more answers.
@murphs2 Good luck POAS ;)

Mine is due tomorrow but I don’t have my usual pre period signs. I did a boots test this morn, negative.

peachypetite · 19/03/2020 18:23

I am wondering if the stress is delaying it

Purplezinger · 19/03/2020 18:46

@peachypetite I had the same thought. With all thats going on in the world, and emotionally me wanting a BFP, maybe that is whats delaying AF. Today I am now cycle day 27, which is the longest I have gone with missing her. When are you going to test again?

I don’t know to be honest. I feel incredibly anxious. I don’t really want to be pregnant at the moment. And I’ll stop ttc if period comes. Thing is I usually have spotting several days before my period and there is nothing. I have weird twingy/pulling sensation on both sides in my pelvic area. I don’t know what to think.

Right01 · 20/03/2020 02:20

Hi!! I usually have 22-23 day cycles and im currently on day 26, AF was due on monday tested today and BFN. Trying not to symptom spot but nausea and my eczema is through the roof, boobs were sore until tuesday but now they are fine. Sending baby dust to all!! xx

babybumpfor2020 · 20/03/2020 06:26

Hey all

Currently on cycle day 45 normally 28-32, all spark white bfn. No sign of af either just want her to show her ugly face now

peachypetite · 20/03/2020 07:42

Me too I don’t want to be pregnant anymore :(

RJ44 · 20/03/2020 07:48

Good luck this morning @Purplezinger @murphs2 Smile

Hello everyone

Hope you don't mind me joining in! How are you all getting on? We are TTC baby number 1 and this will be our 10th cycle. I am CD 32 today, my cycles usually range from 30 - 33 days.

I had been getting some different symptoms this TWW - I had sharp pains in my right hand side, shooting pains in the side of my boobs and big waves of nausea over the past few days. I also have been having tons of white creamy CM, feeling very 'wet' - sorry TMI! I was expecting AF today, based on my loose interpretation of when I ovulated. I really felt this might be our month, however caved and did a boots cheapie test this morning with FMU and it was a BFN. Honestly I felt so despondent I got back into bed and was shaking trying not to cry.

I just feel so fed up, I know 10 months isnt the longest time but everytime I see a BFN it breaks my heart!! I recently went to the doctors as my periods had become very light after my copper coil removal... they checked my hormone levels, iron, thyroid - everything all fine, did a TVS and checked my uterine lining, no concerns, lots of eggs, no cysts, no fibriods... I just don't know where we are going wrong! I'm convinced my fallopian tubes must be blocked or similar.

Sorry that was such a rant but I am just feeling so low... I really thought I might be looking at my first BFP this morning. Should I bother testing again??

RJ44 · 20/03/2020 08:18

Hi @Maise24 sorry you're having such a tough time! I didn't get a BFP until I was around 3 days late, and that was with a FRER! So don't give up yet. Your symptoms sound really promising - I've got my fingers crossed for you Thanks

Maise24 · 20/03/2020 08:28

Hi @RJ44 thank you... that gives me hope Flowers I am stuck self isolating now and don't have any more decent tests, so may order a FRER onine and do it in a few days.

Sorry to sound so dramatic, it is just such a soul crushing journey seeing those BFN's. My partner is quite relaxed about it all and I think is quite worried / frustrated when I get so upset, so I've started keeping the BFN's to myself which I don't think is helping!

I can't wait to finally show him a BFP.... We want a little one so much. I never thought I would be 10 months down the line still trying... guess it just goes to show that it takes longer than you think.

Would love to hear some success stories from you ladies to keep my hopes up!

peachypetite · 20/03/2020 08:58

Still no period today nor any spotting! I’ve been feeling so stressed though that that’s probably why.

Maise24 · 20/03/2020 09:02

@peachypetite how frustrating!! How many days late are you? These are stressful times.. .hope you are ok x

peachypetite · 20/03/2020 09:08

It’s due today but I always have spotting about four days before and feel crampy etc. Do you think I should get a first response test
