AF due today, still BFN. Anyone else?

[Purplezinger]

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

@peachypetite It can't hurt, from what other people have said they seem to be quite reliable although often people don't get BFP for a while after their missed period!

We are in the same boat then, expecting our AF today. I think I will buy a FRER and do that in 3 days if my af hasnt arrived. A few months ago, I was 7 days late for no apparent reason and like a mad woman was testing every morning with an expensive test. If I continue to be late I will limit myself to every 3 days!

@RJ44 I tested this AM, still BFN. I tested again with a cheapie one though. I am getting so impatient, I just want to know so I can get in the mindset I need to. I will test again next Tuesday, and I will get a FRER. By then it will be one week, and after reading online there 11% of women get a late BFP. Hoping I am one of them.
@maise24 I understand your frustration, ttc can be long and stressful.
@murphs2 any luck this morning?
@babybumpfor2020 oh wow thats awful long time to wait for AF. I know it's chaotic out in the world right now, but at what point are you going to do blood work?

@Maise24 still no period. I’ll try and wait a few days longer.

@Purplezinger fingers crossed for you! I think I will do a FRER in a few days also. Saying that, I'm under isolation and don't have any in so at least I'll be forced to await if I order one online

I've also seen on your original post that you had white creamy CM which has now gone watery - that is very similar to what I am experiencing now so hopefully it is a good sign!?

Sending you lots of baby dust ladies xx

I've just realised that the boots test I used only detects 50mlU/hCG compared to the 15-25 of FRER... hmmm...

@Purplezinger I'm not sure I've had a fertility work up xrays bloods, scan before the whole virus thing started and have a nurse that I emailed yesterday. She didn't seem over concerned about my late period and negative tests no advice she could really give me. To be honest the nhs has a lot going on and I feel abit selfish chasing this up. She did however say in the email that further testing and treatment have been put on hold, so unlike to be offered any bloods etc.

I would think a negative this later, means I'm definitely not pregnant

Hello ladies... looking for advice (I’m a newbie on mumsnet so please bare with me!)
Came off my pill jan 31st this year. Had my withdrawal bleed/ period. I’m currently now 14 DPO. Having really horrid symptoms in the last 24hr. At 0300 in the morning I was sat on toilet feeling extremely nauseas but not sick, felt shakey, sweaty lots and like I wanted to faint. This lasted 1hr and went back to bed with paracetamol and a hot water bottle. All day today I’ve been feeling cranky, crampy and swollen tummy. I’ve just taken a FRER test and there’s a very very very faint line. I would send a piccy but don’t think I can yet as a newbie.
Due my period in few days.... so will wait and see if Mother Nature come, but what is everyone’s thoughts?
I’ve also been so anxious at work today as
I’m a front line nurse; I’ve informed my Manager of what’s been going on today as worrying about covid 19!
Thank you all! Xxx

@maise24 yes, It was creamy then went more watery as the time af was suppose to show up. I am now three days late, and I am seeing it becoming more creamy again. Cervix seems higher now, and it's still soft.
I have only two more FRER, and I think I might wait to take one of those next Tuesday (when it will be a week).
@Pinkhan135 a day before AF was due I had similar symptoms, shakey and sweaty, my body temperature is about a degree higher than normal. Hopefully this a good sign for us ;)

@Maise24 I got a negative with a boots test yesterday too!

@murphs2 any news yet? Being stuck in quarantine while waiting for a bfp is like some special type of mental torture lol.

@Purplezinger when is your period due?

I hope you get your BFP but im in same boat to. Im 3 days late for AF and gave TTC a miss this month due to covid. I think its a stressful situation at the moment and we are worrying which is delaying us. Xx

@Pinkhan135 those symptoms do sound promising! I'm also a Nurse, I think you've done the right thing by speaking to your manager about your concerns although try not to put yourself under too much stress about it! The risk of covid is much more related to mothers and babies in later stage pregnancy. The TTC journey can be a long one so I know its hard but best to try not to let the TWW get the best of you and give you such anxiety! Let us know how you get on, have you tested again? Hope you are feeling better x

Any news from anyone else?? I'm CD 32 now, usually my cycle is 31 days although I did have a freak one off 40 day cycle a few months ago... which is making me not want to get my hopes up now as I remember well the pain of doing a test every day for 9 days and hoping it would be my BFP!

In terms of symptoms now, I haven't had any af type cramps since last night. I felt really sick after eating nandos last night (maybe too much halloumi however had the same thing again this morning. I had a couple of sharp twinge type feelings in my lower left hand side yesterday but thats about it. No sign of the shooting boob pain again. Very 'wet' this morning (sorry, tmi!) and lots of watery discharge but absolutely no sign of AF.

I really don't want to get my hopes up and see another BFN in a few days time, but It would be so lovely to see that BFP that we have been waiting for so long for! I almost feel like I will never see one!

Looking forward to hearing how you are getting on ladies, fingers crossed for you all

Im definitely not imagining it, these pains in my left hand side are still there! Sort of a twisting, poking stabbing feeling. Really odd, I can't remember feeling this before. Too late for implantation though surely?!

Hi everyone,

I hope you don’t mind me joining, I feel I’m in the same boat...

We have been ttc for around 6 months now. I came off the pill last May and since my cycles have been all over the place but they had finally started to settle into around 35/36 days long. However this cycle I am on day 50 already and no sign of my period turning up!

I was due my period last week although I can’t be sure of the day but I am at least a week late already if not more, It could be anything between 7-10 days late. I have had back aches, so much CM, bloating and tiredness but still getting BFNs on a range of different brand tests! I thought I had a faint positive on a first response on Monday, but I have read so many reviews about people getting false positives on them lately that now I’m doubting I did and perhaps it was just a faulty test and have had several negatives since Monday! I saw my GP this week who has advised me to wait another week, test again and if still no period or positive to go back for a blood test. The waiting is so hard and I have no idea what is going on 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

@peachypetite AF was due last Tuesday, 17th. So I am four days late now.
@Solomon1212 and @Maise24 lots of baby dust to you, and keep us updated on your results :)
@lt01234 I am having same symptoms, and was also advised to wait another week. I am wanting to avoid dr. offices with the current climate. So hopefully it doesn't have to come to blood work.

I’m pregnant. Got a positive on a frer this morning.

Hi girls - mind if I join you? AF was due yesterday and I've had plenty of watery/creamy CM so I'm hoping that's a good sign. Cheapies are still saying BFN but if AF hasn't showed tomorrow I'll splurge on a FRER.

That said - congratulations @peachypetite !! Hope it sticks! Hope many days over are you in the end?

@juno I got a negative on Thursday with a crappy boots one whereas my frer this morning had a strong line - absolutely no doubting it was there. I’m 4-6 days over now. Realised my new phone’s flo app was calculating my period based on the average cycle but mine are very short.

Congratulations peachypetite! That is such lovely news! 🌸
Another BFN for me again this morning 🤦🏻‍♀️

Congratulations @peachypetite 😊 hope it was the news you wanted!!
@Juno231 those symptoms sound promising!!! Fingers crossed!

Thank you. Tbh I would have put Ttc on hold if my period came. But it’s done now so just got to make the best of it. I am happy though :)

AF due today but no sign of it. Have been taking Wondfo HPTs every morning since 10 dpo and saw a faint line on most of them (didn't have a line one day). Did FRER today though and negative, but had my darkest Wondfo yet.

Has anybody used these tests and had consistent faint positives? Was it false or were you pg? In absolute agony over this!

Here is todays wondfo...

@peachypetite oh my god congratulations!! I'm so pleased for you, your news bought a smile to my face! I havent tested again since friday, mostly because I cant go to the shop and havent got a FRER!

How is everyone else getting on? I'm CD 34 now, sharp pains yesterday and started getting very mild low abdo cramps last night which made me think af was on the way but no sign this morning! Just tons of white creamy CM. Still felt nauseous and slept for 10 hours last night! My boobs felt really full and heavy last night but not sure whether it was just in my head as its all I've been thinking about xx

@Purplezinger how are you getting on? When did you last test? Xx
