Only 1 day late but...

Not even looking for advice, cuz I know all of my stupid symptoms could be either PMS or pregnancy... just venting!! One day late, and for the first time ever had to test because my period usually starts BEFORE my apps say it will. Tired, sore boobs, was a little nauseous yesterday (don't know that was related)... gurgley feeling in my uterus.. insomnia for the last two nights in a row (which I do usually get for ONE night right before I have my period the next morning. Like clockwork. Not this time). Cramping for days, which feels a little different than usual but so hard to be sure. Constantly feel like my period is about to start but it doesn't... days of this! Bleh!

Have you tested yet?

Hello ladies,

I was due on my AF and took a test early this morning which showed a positive line! However since then when I have been to the loo and wipes is shows small amounts of blood? I am having AF like cramps. Should I be worried or take @
Thanks for any replies xx

@Laurend0603 or should I say I tested the day I should have got it, the day it was one day late, and today is two days late. Haha the lack of sleep is making me crazy 😜

Kinda wondering if I should buy a better test than those amazon cheapies..

OP posts:
Laurend0603 · 02/05/2020 15:38

What tests are you using? I found the clearblue brought it up most clearly and the internet cheapie are still faint but defo still there, try looking at one that tests for lower hcg?

creepin · 02/05/2020 15:49

Have just used the Clinical Guard cheapies from Amazon so far... OPK and HCG multipack. The ovulation ones are ok, not super strong, but they still work... but absolutely nothing on the pg tests. Might try out Clear Blue if it still hasn't shown up tomorrow! 🤪 keep reading stories of people who don't test positive for weeks...

I'm kind of in the same boat. AF due today and no sign. Had some more intense cramps but I've had cramp for the past 2 weeks, along with sore boobs, headaches, dizziness and nausea. I've tried not to symptom watch but it's soo difficult. I might test tomorrow if no sign of AF. DP is working away at the moment and feel guilty for testing without him here if it's positive.

Bic501 · 02/05/2020 16:19

Me 2, af was due on thursday, still no sign and BFN's. Was using CB Digi opks and began to get high fertility and ran outta sticks so just figured ov can't be far after that now goodness knows. Had crazy symptoms last week tho settled today, so frustrating 😔

bluemoon2468 · 02/05/2020 16:24

Just FYI it can take ages for a BFP to show up on those ICs. I got a strong BFP on a FRER days before I got a clear positive on an IC.

JMC04 · 02/05/2020 19:04

@Sophiemumto1 same thing happened to me. Just waiting to see now. I've had no more blood, just some when I wiped for one day.

Ikeepbuyinganimals · 02/05/2020 19:11

I'm 3 days late now, have not made it to cd29 since starting to track 2.5yrs ago but trying to maintain a sense of calm! Got one more cheapy for tomorrow AM and then will have to go source a proper one I think. Not sure if waiting and not knowing is better/worse than BFN...

creepin · 02/05/2020 19:38

@Titch88 my cramps have definitely been worse than normal. I usually start cramping a week before, lightly, then have really bad cramps on the day of my period only. But I've had strong cramps for 3+ days now

OP posts:
creepin · 02/05/2020 19:38

@Bic501 I know! Wish the symptoms were totally different!

OP posts:
creepin · 02/05/2020 19:40

@bluemoon2468 that's good to know! When were you testing, out of curiosity? Before period or after you were late?

OP posts:
creepin · 02/05/2020 19:40

@Ikeepbuyinganimals I feel ya! I keep wanting to go get better tests but don't wanna bother if it's just Af running behind.. lol

Clear and simple is a great brand test and cheap. Good luck!

mums2boys · 02/05/2020 19:54

Hi ladies im in the same boat. Im 1 day late and im never late, and i usually spot for 1-2 days before af but nothing. I had unusual cramps for 3 days last week but nothing at all now. Im gettin bfn on internet cheapies. I done a clear blue yesterday morning, took a quick look and assumed negative. I checked this morning and can actually see the faintest line. I know you arent meant to read result after 10 mins but its making me wonder Hmm .. Il try again tmro morning with my last clear blue. Best of luck to you all xx

Laurend0603 · 02/05/2020 22:37

Clear and Simple are really good brand they gave me the strongest line and I tried alot! Think they are £1 in B & M xx

creepin · 02/05/2020 23:45

@Laurend0603 @MsChatterbox ooh I'll have to check and see if I can get them where I am (I live in New York City now). Picked up a couple of FRERs today (along with tampons, because, ya know, well-prepared.....) gonna use on tomorrow AM but I'll admit I'm nervous about another negative

OP posts:
creepin · 02/05/2020 23:46

@mums2boys good luck! Same, have had multiple days of cramping which is weird for me. Still nothing as I type this.

OP posts:
MsChatterbox · 03/05/2020 06:02

Good luck this morning 🤞🏻

bluemoon2468 · 03/05/2020 08:09

@creepin before. I actually got a very clear BFP on a FRER at 8DPO!

Laurend0603 · 03/05/2020 08:30

People do say first response are the best...I can never here in shops in England and never been patient enough to order online and wait! X
