3 days late, BFN

Hello,

So this month we decided to just go with the flow during lockdown.

I’m now 3 days. Tested this morning on my clearblue fertility monitor. BFN (not at all surprised)

My periods are normally like clockwork, and the symptoms are just as regular... sore boobs 7 days before, cramps day or two before and moody

I have no symptoms either? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ why is being a woman soooooo confusing!

Xx

Sooo confusing! You should be able to just get pregnant when you want! Mmmm and periods shouldn't exist while we're at it.

I got my period a week late, eventually... I have been an utter MESS this past week. I just can't wait until some time in the future when I do have my family and I look back at this period of my life and think wow I can't believe I survived all that, what an absolute trooper I am! That probably doesn't help right now, but just wanted to say we're here for you and this does suck that you're going through this. x

Thanks Emmie. Sucks you got your period 😭 I hope you are ok 💕 sending hugs.

I am soooo confused... still no period?! Just did another test (Wilko cheapy) and it wasn’t FMU but still a BFN... not even a hint of a line 😭🙄 I’m now 4 days late, surely if I was pregnant it would have shown by now. I keep getting like a very very mild twingey crampy feeling but goes after a couple of mins but that’s it... no sore boobs (which is my tell tale sigh of my period).

Last cycle, I had a very light period and then my boobs started to hurt after the “period”... 14 days later I had a heavy crampy period. I wonder if maybe the first one was implantation and then it didn’t stick and now my cycle is all messed up 🤷🏻‍♀️ who knows... I’m sick of second guessing my body!

I hate being a woman! Xx

It's impossible to say, unfortunately! Makes me wonder what the point of these tests are if you can't 100% know if you're pregnant.... For some people it takes ages for the tests to show up for them, and for others... unfortunately not pregnant. Hopefully either the tests turn to positive or your get your period soon so you don't have to wonder any more... xxxxx

I don’t know if I just got a positive 🙈 tensions have been high with me and hubby. Me snapping at him unreasonably, put it down to frustration. So we were having a heated discussion just now, at which he said I guess the pregnancy test was negative. So I threw it at him and said well obviously, isn’t it always! At which point he pointed out that there was a very faint second line! Now I’m super confused! Xx

Faint line means hcg is present it happened to me... The line gets darker every 48hrs...all the best...

Oh, faint line? That's good news. You should take a second one to check/feel more confident. x Hoping for the best.

Thank you all 😊 I have no idea what to think right now... I think I have been through every emotion. Hubby is nipping out to get a first response. Want to do it this afternoon (I’ve been holding my wee 😂) but don’t know if I should just wait until the morning. Xx

Let us know. Hope he gets more than one test! It might be that you need to retest in a couple of days (which is stressful as a wait, but what can you do?). Hoping the next test is conclusive. xxxx

I did say to him to get two 🙈 I dread to think what he comes back with.

I’m terrified to do another test now in case is negative, the other one was so light... but not sure if I can wait until tomorrow.

Poor hubby is so secretly excited but trying to remain calm. I’ve never ever ever seen even the faintest of lines so this is a massive step for me. I’m now thinking what if it’s a evap? Or was it outside of the 5 mins? (Wish I could add a picture)

Sorry I’m totally rambling. Thank you for your support ❤️ I appreciate it so much. Xx

SJGPW in reply toCinderella5

I don’t know if it’s just an evap line. It wasn’t FMU... and had only been for a wee about 20 mins before I took the test.

Quite honestly, it’s too good to be true and as my hubby kindly told me this morning in the middle of our heated discussion... I’m a pessimist! Xx

Completely understand you erring on the side of caution, Im the same....always think the worst. Ha ha ha If its any consolation my negatives have all been stark white however its usually FRER tests I use. Well the only way to know for sure if to re-test but when you do that is up to you! Wishing you all the luck in the world.xx

Did you track ovulation?

SJGPW in reply to

Yeah I did... I had highs for a few days and then ran out of tests and couldn’t get to boots because of lockdown. Normally always ovulate on day 13 or 14. And it was day 12 I ran out 🙈 typical. Xx
