BFN and no period

[Bear78]

Hi, I've been having brown discharge for a few days and cramping. Called nurse couple of days ago and she said it could be late implantation. Did a test today as it was my test day and it was negative. They said to test again in 2 days. Has anyone had similar - cramping, discharge so close to test day then and negative followed by a positive or ... Is it just AF being held back by the pessaries?

Might be both. Normally the AF won't come on the estimated date (according to your ovulation or EC) as long as you're on progesterone, but if the ET didn't work AF will normally come after som days even if you don't stop using the medicine, or at least that was what happened to me - even before OTD.

Spotting can be a bad sign - but it might be unsignificative as well! There's no way to tell by that spotting if you've succeeded or not. Just keep up the good hope! And retest in a couple of days just as the nurse told you! The hcg-levels are known to rise a little slowlier with IVF than when one's conceived naturally...

Crossing fingers and braiding hear for you ❤❤❤

Hey, I have had similar and unfortunately I was not pregnant but my period didn’t start because of the pesseries I was taking. As soon as the nurse told me to stop taking them I bled

I have however heard some cases where it has been late implantation or even a slight bleed but got a BFP a few days later so hold in there and my fingers are crossed for you x

It was still negative today so I've stopped the pessaries. Annoyingly my period is now really slow. I'm so confused and worried that it's a sign my fertility is just decreasing monthly. Surely I should be bleeding quite a lot?

After I stopped the pessaries it took about 24hours but I was very heavy so I am not too sure?? It’s such a cruel long process isn’t it!

I’ve had three cycles and currently attempting a frozen at the minute, don’t give up hope ❤️
