I agree that Mother Nature is a bit of a bitch cookielove! Right up until I started TTC my cycle was bang on 28 days, now it just rocks up when it feels like it. Typical!
Hoping that you get BFP's cazcol and dildoos, fingers crossed.
But if the dreaded AF does show up, I hope that Feb brings you a BFP. Me too in fact! X

Sorry to hear that dildoos.
I'm on 14dpo (I only have a luteal phase of 12 days,...and I'm relatively sure about when I ov'ed), but got a bfn this morning. No sign of af. Usually, I get a few days of lightly brown discharge before af gets here. Not sure what is going on.
Quite possibly, af will arrive within the next few hours after me writing this. Hmm

I am! Only a day late but I'm usually very regular. And I always getting spotting a day or 2 before too thatssofunny but nothing. Bfn this morning - I haven't been charting or anything but I think I'm 12dpo. My boobs are MASSIVE which could be AF - I feel like the prow of a ship.

Always regular (28 day cycle.) AF was due on Jan 20th. On the day I had (very little) brown spotting and later on that night when I wiped (once) it was bright red. But that was it. I didn't have to wear as much as a panty liner to contain things - it was pretty non-existent. I have always had a 5 day period that follows a specific pattern so this is way out of the ordinary for me.
Anyway, I've now poas twice and got BFNs. I wouldn't be as worried about things were I not suffering hugely from symptoms (sensitive nips, random crying at random things - seriously every single day, daily squits (TMI!), tummy cramps (which I normally don't suffer with), sore lower back and (according to DH) snoring like a warthog.)
If it's not pregnancy then there's something very odd going on with my hormones. Any ideas ladies? I handed a pee sample into GP and have to call tomorrow afternoon for result. The thing is I can see it being another BFN like the HPTs I've done which would be fine. Except for the fact that I FEEL pregnant! :0/

Still waiting,...(although I constantly need to go to the loo...aehm,..tmi..sorry). I'll possibly wait for another week. If af still hasn't shown her ugly face, I'll do another test. Would make me about 5 weeks, if BFP. I lost my last one at 5+4, so feel rather nervous about it all.
I got my last BFP after 5 cycles. This is also my 5th month after the 'all clear' post mc.

Groove and that's, I hope done bfps arrive soon!! Tough times in the wait leading up, it is normal to feel uber nervous when preg after mc but taking it easy and remembering sadly we mc for a reason and hoping that a nice complete chromosomes embryo is implanting for you xx

I'm due today as well and have had BFN today. All I've had for the past week is slight brown discharge and a spot of blood at 9dpo!

SquealyB · 27/01/2014 14:55

Can I leap on this bandwagon please?

Feeling very pregnant, horrible metallic taste in mouth, have gone off alcohol, even larger norks than usual and generally a bit weepy. AF due today, a couple of early BFNs, tested BFN again today but still a no show on the AF front.

Confused

Am 14dpo (fairly certain of dates) and nothing. LP normally 13/14 days, so getting late now...

The stress and steady stream of BFNs continues with me. Officially a week late now. BFN from GP this morning (from sample on Friday) as well as another BFN yesterday with HPT. Going to wait and not test til next Monday if AF is still AWOL. By that time I will be 2 weeks late. The uncertainty is killing me. So glad I've joined MN and am able to share with lovely ladies who understand how this feels.

In the same boat groove - (not a week late though, AF was due on the 25th and its now the 28th here with not a sign, not spotting or anything which is the weirdest. Usually I'm bang on 28 day cycle).

3 BFNs today, on an assortment of tests. I have wasted so much $ on poas.

From what I can tell it's not completely unusual to get a BFP up to 18 days dpo, if implanation takes up to 12 days and you had a low hcg level to start with (some people start with higher amounts than others meaning they get to the pregant detectable level faster). So 12 days to implant + 4 - 6 days to create detectable hcg levels takes you to up to 18dpo. So for me that's another week at least! (unless AF arrives which frankly would be a relief at this point!) - do you have any idea when you ovulated groove?
