BFN - Implantation bleeding?

Hello, I'm new here and looking for some guidance.
I had a missed miscarriage in April this year @ 12 weeks. Since then my periods have been regulating and we've been trying to conceive. According to my tracking app, I'm 13DPO. I had what I assumed to be Implantation bleeding about 8 days ago. I tested yesterday and had a BFN. But I have many early pregnancy symptoms like last time, including nausea, tender breasts, fatigue, hunger and discharge. So my question is, should I continue to test? Is it too late?
I'm terrified and excited at the same time but because of my past trauma I'd rather be realistic with myself.

Thank you x

Sorry to hear about your MC. Are you actually testing your LH levels for ovulation or are you relying on predictions on an app based off the "average" woman's menstrual cycle? When is your period due? Maybe wait until you have missed your period before testing again. Good luck :)

Hi @FirstTimer2024 I've never had a BFP so can't really give advice other than to say although chances are probably lower, you could still get a BFP if AF hasn't arrived 🤞🏼 although if you have symptoms of pregnancy HCG would show in your system by now.....

I've had cycles where I've noticed so many different and unusual symptoms for me, but it's been nothing! AF arrives late for no reason.

Ultimately though, there's always a chance until AF arrives ❤️ good luck! X

Thank you, I've not tested, just trying to conceive without any pressure like last time. AF was due Monday, but nothing other than the above symptoms. I have a lot more cramping by now if AF was coming, its really strange.

I'll see what happens and test again next week! thank you

thank you. I'll see what happens. I'm driving myself crazy, googling everything! I don't know if early pregnancy presents itself differently after a MMC! I feel so lost on what to do!

Its the implantation bleeding that's throwing me off! It was the exact same as last time :(

Good luck to you too, I really hope you get the BFP ❤x

The problem for us women is our symptoms for ovulation, period and early pregnancy is so similar. Usually you would have enough HCG levels by now to test positive but it isn't unheard of that you wont! My friend didn't find out she was pregnant until she was over 4 months along. You're doing the right thing, don't put any unnecessary pressure on yourself. Give it another few days before testing again. 😊

so similar, its so cruel!
I would've thought this as well, my HCG should be high enough for something to show. But not sure if its any different after MMC?

Oh wow! That gives me a little hope. I'm going to try and not think about it too much, wait a few days and see what happens....thank you! x
