10miu tests BFN. any hope? 13dpo

[chickchock]

Hi, sorry I don't post much on here but I'm having a real am I/ aren't I 2ww and its doing my head in! I've already posted this in 2ww but hoped I might get more response in here.

My cycles can be a bit erratic until ovulation, but I know when I ov'd and I am now 13dpo. My usual luteul phase is 12 days so I am due AF today. So far no sign and its usually there when I wake up.

I know it was silly of me but I started testing at 9dpo with the 10miu tests. I tested once at 9dpo with FMU, twice on 11dpo (once with FMU and then later in the day, pointless I know!) and twice yesterday (12dpo), neither FMU. I have also tested today but with about the fourth pee of the day. They have all been BFN obviously! Thing is I have had a feeling of 'just knowing' I am pregnant from about 8dpo, but now I'm wondering if I was just deluding myself.

I have severe lower back pain (around the coxix (sp) area) which is not unusual for me at AF but not usually this bad. I've also had nausea for about four days now, I never get nauseu as an AF symptom. I haven't had my usual aching legs that I get when AF is due, and I have had a slight cystitus feeling which I had both times before when I was pregnant. I also have what I call a 'buzzy' feeling where I can't sleep yet feel alert, I had this for both my other pregnancies.

The thing that's bothering me is the BFN's and also that I am snappy and irritable like I have PMT.

I guess what I'm asking/ wanting advice on is could the symptoms I have and don't have mean I could be PG and that it's just early to test? I would have thought that 10miu tests would show it early and would have shown as BFP on 11dpo if I was pg?

I have two tests left in the house (one FRER and one tesco) and don't know if I should test tommo.

I guess the best thing to do is wait to see if AF turns up at all today, but I'm sure as fellow ttcers you can relate to how unappealing that is when you have been testing for so long already!

I know it was silly of me to test so early but I think it was because I had the 10miu tests. My previous pregnancies I have got a BFP at 14 dpo FMU (first test that cycle) and 12dpo in the afternoon (had tested at 11dpo and got BFN.)

try again tomorrow hun, you never know, youre not out yet xx

I would definitely test tomorrow. IF indeed you are pregnant, you could have O'd/Implanted later then usual, and that could be a reason why your not getting a possitive yet. I've been looking on the 2WW website, where alot of women put down the symptoms before getting a BFP, you'd be very suprised at how many ladies got a BFN at 13DPO but went on to have a BFP at 14 DPO. So never say never.

Good luck & i hope you get your BFP very soon!! xx

I am a POAS addict so I say test. I was really good this month and didn't test til the day AF arrived and felt even worse when I saw BFN than on months where I tested earlier so my new motto is test whenever you like.

You are definitely not out! Every pregnancy is different so you may not have implanted as early as in previous pregnancies and you therefore could well still be pregnant.

I really wish you luck and hope this month is your lucky one xx

Chick chock, we are in very similar situations. Ive tested on ICs since 9DPO including today 12DPO,all negative. I'm expecting aunt flo tomorrow and it does feel like she's on her way ... But I'm hoping I'm wrong

Good luck to us both!!

The month we conceived, I didn't get a positive until the day my period was due - CD33, or 17DPO. And I had shelled out for the early response tests too, and I only got negatives every day leading up to that. The day I got my positive I used a Superdrug cheapy test.

There's still hope until you see the witch

I have said this a couple of times before on here but I didn't get a decent line on the IC until I got 3+ on a digi (so HCG of over 2000 I think!!!). They are supposed to be sensitive but they really aren't for most people. They are great for 'casual' testing but if you really do think you're pregnant then bite the bullet and get a better test cos you could be waiting a long time for that line on an IC!


If you're in the UK get an ASDA test - I tested on IC and got nothing and then tested with an ASDA at 13 DPO and got a good line.

Good luck xx

Thanks for all your replies girls.

I tested this a.m with tesco test and it was completely BFN. I am having AFy symptoms, but they come and go, and in my experience AF symtoms and early preg symptoms are similar.

I just want to know one way or the other. I would love to be pregnant, but if I'm not I'd like to know NOW so I can get over it IYSWIM!

I had an ectopic pregnancy in June and since then I've three full cycles. The first one my LP was only 9 days, but since then I thought they'd gone back to normal at being 12 days. This is day 14 now. I have googled about luteal phase changes after an ectopic but can't find anything on the whole wide web! One concerning thing is this back pain is so severe and it is not dissimilar to the pain I had with the ectopic. However I know it would be far too early for ectopic symptoms if that was what was happening now. When is too early to ask the doctor for a blood test???

Hi hun I just mentioned this in the 2ww I also have a ten miu test and have tested 9dpo 10dpo today due on friday but I figured that the ten miu test would show positive if I were. When a frer does at 6 days before missed period. I strangely thought I was pregnant due to lack of symptoms normally I get sore breast feelin sick back ache cramps (lots of) and spotting four days before period nothing except the odd cramp yesterday. My husband convinced me to leave it till saturday if nothings shows but think for certain I am out this month. Just a quick thought have you tired a digital one yet. And do you think there ic are any good? Wishing you lots of luck hun x

 

[Feelcrazy]

I know alot of ladies that only got their bfp on 14 dpo. Good luck Hun!

 

[chickchock]

Thanks feelcrazy and wannabenewmum. Well low and behold witch has arrived so at least I know for sure that I am not pregnant. My last AF was really light and mild so this is obviously pay back!

wannabenewmum in answer to your question, I have decided the IC's are rubbish lol! I used to be a real supporter of the IC's as I got my bfp with my DD with one ( and then confirmed it with CBdigi). But with the last pregnancy I had I tested with FMU on 11dpo and got neg, but the next day in the evening I got a BFP with a tesco test.

I've sent my remaining IC's to my friend as she'll be ttc soon, so now I have no tests in the house apart from the FRER, which I am tempted to lock in a cupboard somewhere so I don't waste it next time!!

I have decided to start charting my BTT again to see just what is going on with my LP (maybe I'm oving later than I think, but I do note down EWCM and ov pain etc) and then if needed I'll try agnus cactus or whatever it is thats meant to help the luteal phase.

I've also decided that I'm not gonna test anymore until 16dpo, as by then my AF would be very late indeed.

Thanks for all your support girls.

Mmm I am inclined to agree with you on ic, just a thought I used soy isoflavones this month cos my luteal phase was 9 days. It has now gone to 13 brought ovulation forward by 4 days. X

 

[chickchock]

Thanks hun, I wil bare those in mind x
