Is there hope for BFP?

[DancinOnTheCeiling]

Think I posted this in the wrong bit before - I’ve never posted before...

Can someone give me advice please? During the TWW I had a few symptoms that made me think I was pregnant but then AF arrived (or so I thought) a day early so I assumed I was out. AF was only three days, very light, I had no cramping, hardly anything in my pad - my AF is usually always seven days long. Since “AF” I’ve had a tiny tiny bit of spotting when I wipe.

Anyway, the weird thing is my boobs are huge and so are my nipples (and dark). My boobs usually become smaller again as soon as AF arrives. The other weird thing is that my calfs are very crampy; that was my first symptom when I was pregnant with my dd. I’ve also felt dizzy/nauseous in the morning and am very tired.

I’m now 17dpo and have had a few BFN’s on ICs (one step) and a few negative OPKs. I took a FRER but with very diluted midday urine at 12dpo (BFN). I know the only way of knowing is to test with a FRER, I have one left so wanted to ask: when would you test? And also, do you think there’s hope? I keep going between ‘no way is there hope, I’d have had a BFP on IC by now’ to thinking why do I have weird pregnancy symptoms... any advice welcome

If your af is late I would try first thing tomorrow with flu maybe use an ic first but keep the sample if there's any hint of a line then use same sample to try your frer hope this helps and have everything crossed for you please update xx

@mummyjojo19 thanks for messaging, I appreciate it. Well that’s the thing, I wouldn’t say AF is late because I’ve had a very light AF already.. (just much lighter and shorter than usual). But yes will try with IC and then possibly with a FRER... I hate not knowing! 🙈

Hi, is there any chance you ovulated late and your af could be implantation bleeding. if so then it depends how long ago the bleeding was like if it was only 2 days ago you probably wouldn't get a positive yet

@roro87 hm I think it’s unlikely as I had positive opks and lots of ewcm around the time I think I ovulated (which was ages ago and would mean I’m 17dpo or 18dpo today). I took a FRER this am and bfn 😔. If it wasn’t for my weird symptoms I’d just accept that I’m not pregnant but it’s just so weird: big boobs and nipples, crampy calfs, so tired,... I might test one last time in a few days and then give up 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fingers crossed you get some answers soon x

@mummyjojo19 thank you 😌. Will update either way xx

Just wanted to update as I don’t like it when threads end without an update: I keep getting bfn’s, my weird symptoms have almost stopped so it must have just been a weird period.. thanks for the support ☺️
