No period but BFN

[hopefully2021]

Morning everyone
AF was due Fri/Sat but so far no sign - usually like clockwork however I have tested up to yesterday and all tests are negative, I tested yesterday with a clear blue early detection digital and nothing. I was really moody on Friday night & had slight period pains so thought AF was definately make an appearance on saturday morning but so far not even any spotting - do I keep testing? Really confused why my period is late as this doesnt usually happen to me and with all tests coming back negative I can't work out what is going on down there!
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks all xxx

@leftitlate37 I got my positive test this time yesterday on a FRER so if you’ve not peed in a while it might show up!! 🤞🏼 How many days dpo are you?
We had booked and paid for a private fertility check up & my hubby’s appt yesterday was the reason I tested! So I asked if I could change my appt to a scan since we’ve already paid. I don’t actually know if hubby can come, I think he can since it’s a private clinic! My appt with midwife I have to go alone then 12 week scan he’s allowed to come. Xxx

ermmmm so...this happened :o !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh no way thats so typical u pay for that and then get tested! glad u managed to not lose the money though....!

@leftitlate37 omg!!! That’s amazing!!! ❤️❤️ Congratulations!! You must be further along than me. Absolutely delighted for you! xxx

@leftitlate37 omg congrats!!! I'm so happy for you [happy]
You both @MJM1608 are giving me hope, I'm hoping that I get the same good news as you xxx

ah thank you both!! little bit stunned I won't lie....!! @hopefully2021 keeping everything crossed for u i really am, would be ace if this was 3rd positive too! please please keep us posted :) xxx
@MJM1608 keep everything crossed as well this all goes smoothly...be nice to keep in touch thru these threads and see how things r going! really hope hubby can go with u to the private scan...covid having a lot to answer for!! x

Hi ladies I'm in a similar position to you and this thread is keeping me hopeful. I was due on Monday/Tuesday and had 2 BFNs from Tesco tests. I'm never late, don't feel like I'm going to come on but also no pregnancy symptoms other than sleeping a lot.

Oh and congrats @leftitlate37 and @MJM1608!!!!!!

@hopefully2021 fingers crossed you get the BFP in the morning x

aaah yeah defo stay hopeful @MAS50! sure ive seen some folk say the tesco ones don't always give the right reading, so maybe try again with another brand?! keeping everything crossed for you. r u TTC no 1? x

Yes, no. 1 for me. Came off the pill in December but AF didn't come back until March so it feels like its been longer than in probably has been!

@MAS50 Aww thank you! Have also heard tesco tests are unreliable - maybe you could get a FRER? We started trying in March too - feels like we were trying forever but in reality wasn’t that long, doesn’t make it any easier!!

@leftitlate37 is this your 1st baby too? How you feeling & how did your partner react? 😁

ah yeah @MAS50 it definitely feels like it drags when u only get a few days worth per month! still early days i guess, and plenty of time to get that BFP soon i hope!
same as u both, 1st baby too, eeeek. just suddenly realise how clueless we are, ive only just got used to all the TTC acronyms, google is being my friend right now...what did ppl do before we had this!?
OH super happy @MJM1608, shocked but happy..think id convinced him we were out this month as felt AF on way!! how about u?!

@leftitlate37 haha totally with you!! I’ve downloaded the pregnancy + app to track the growth & been trying to do research on how my body will change and develop! It’s very overwhelming and quite lonely not being able to speak to my best friends about it but will be worth the wait! Scotland restrictions will help me hide it more! He must have got an amazing surprise! I was so shocked I asked my hubby to check it & he confirmed the second line. After we picked our jaws up off the floor we jumped with joy 😁

Are you booking a midwife appt tomorrow? 😊 xx

So excited for you both! I'm starting to get some cramps this evening so think AF is on the way. If nothing tomorrow I will get a FRER for Saturday morning I think. I'm brand new to the app and can't seem to work out how to tag either of you 🤦‍♀️

glad its not just me @MJM1608 ;) yeah agree it does feel bit overwhelming eh! i get so paranoid about health issues, so sure every twinge, change and whatever i'll be looking it up! be ace when u can tell friends :) remind me when u r doing for the scan?? awww so exciting for u and hubby!! i kinda just stood there when it flashed up, and waited for the "weeks" to show up before running into tell hubby!
ha errm, i dont know, i literally havent though about booking an appt...maybe monday?! think i want to check again first!! ive just looked up that early scan u mentioned, tempted to try that as if with covid rules hubby cant come to NHS stuff then be nice to have him along at an early stage.
@MAS50 think clicking the @ button brings up the other names on this thread just under the message box, might look diff if youre on a phone i dont know! anyway hope AF doesnt show tomorrow...and roll on testing sat morn! cramps dont mean u r out! x

I'm out. AF arrived about 10 mins after my last message! I'm ok with it, didn't feel like it was my month and now I can move on and try again this cycle! So pleased for you both though @leftitlate37 and @MJM1608 and let us know how you get on in the morning @hopefully2021 xxx

Good luck all! X

argh @MAS50 sorry :( anyway, onwards as u say, get this out the way and crack on with the next cycle :) got a good feeling for u ;) its funny when i looked back on some of the message boards from last month, when this was me saying AF had arrived and others said hopefully next month then... and here we are, so, it's gotta be all our chances at some point! everything crossedfor u!
@hopefully2021 any news....xxx

@hopefully2021 Do you have any news?
Congrats to @MJM1608 and @leftitlate37! I am now eight days late and have had vivid dreams, sore boobs, feeling sick and could fall asleep sitting up! But all my tests have been negative! it’s so frustrating!

thanks @C20S20G! that sounds so strange with your symptoms but negative tests? i guess do hormonal levels change diff amounts in diff people and could just be taking a while to show up? what are you doing to do do you think, wait it out /keep testing? all sounds really promising doesnt it!! i defo had 2 very weird nights with vivid dreams -and i rarely have that. do your cycles change length much normally?? fingers crossed for u!!! x

@leftitlate37 It is really strange isn’t it! I have been reading every website possible non stop (as you do) and some say that if you don’t get your AF after six weeks then it’s classed and missed and you probably won’t get a BFP so I’m just gonna hold out a week or so and test again! They do change but only really by a few days at most! Hopefully good news but like @MAS50 said, I’d rather just know so I can start again! Thanks! Xx

Hi all, done a FRER this morning & unfortunately another negative! Still no sign of AF, do you think I should just class this as a missed period and start another cycle of trying? I'm tempting to start using my clearblue ovulation sticks from tomorrow to track if I ovulate this month still or do you think I am wasting my time?xxx

@MAS50 oh nooo so sorry to hear that!! Hope you’re ok ❤️ It’s so typical when you tell someone AF hasn’t arrived then it comes straight away! Hope next month is your month!

@C20S20G thanks very much! What type of tests are you taking? I didn’t get my positive test until 19 days dpo! I even took a test this morning & it barely had two lines (even though I’m over 5 weeks) & the digital was a positive. Such a minefield! I hope you get your BFP!! If you have any questions please ask xxx

@hopefully2021 I have also been using ovulation sticks waiting for one to be peak with fertility. I think they are misleading cause the last few of mine have said low fertility but have two lines. I am going to continue using that pack as some people have said that two lines could mean you are coming up to ovulation which would be me in a couple of days if my AF was on time so I guess it wouldn’t hurt to start using them as now would be the best time but a lot of people say they are a waste of money xx

@MJM1608I have been using the clear blue tests x I used one early tests and then three digital tests that have all come back not pregnant hoping that might change in a few days but if not I’m just going to assume I’m not and start again with positivity for the next month!! Thankyou! Xx

Hi to everyone. Thought I'd join in as I'm quite similar to you all.
I had an ectopic pregnancy in June so this is the 1st month we have been trying again.
My period due today and no sign and it's normally like clockwork never a minute late. I had cramps around 4 days ago but nothing since I've had very very light staining last night and today but not anything to be period coming. I done a clear blue digital today and it was negative.
However on the day of my missed period when I was pregnant before I got a positive test.

I done a workout on Wednesday and had to stop as I thought I was going to boke this happened me when I last found out I was pregnant.

I can't help but be hopeful but just have a feeling my period will appear
