12DPO.. BFN on Clearblue Digital.. is there still hope for me? *AF LATE AND TESTED!!*

[LauraLoo1612]

Hi ladies,

Sorry to intrude on your room I just thought you ladies might have some experience of this and I'd be grateful for advice / stories.

I am currently 12 DPO and AF is due in 2 days. I tested this morning on a Clearblue Digital with FMU and it came back "Not pregnant".

I have been having AF cramps all day and have checked my cervix and no brown discharge or red blood which I usually get when I start cramping and I am never 2 days early. Did anyone experience this?

Also did anyone else test a day or 2 before AF was due.. got a and then got a 2 days later? Any experience appreciated or be told Im just clutching straws will be appreciated.

Please do not just R&R.

No your not out the game yet hun! Lots of ladies don't get their BGP till 14DPO or later! Your hormone levels still have a long way to reach their high pregnancy detection.

If I'm right I also think digi's detect later, but could be wrong!

Try not to stress and wait till then and maybe test again! It's not over till the witch shows her face!

Wishing you tons of baby dust xx

I would try testing with a FRER rather than a digi if 2 days before AF due. The FRER should come up with a slight line, digi's need 50mg of HCG I think, and FRER only 25. Fx for you xxx

Are you having any symptoms outside of the AF cramps that you don't normally have?
They say that it takes 2 days after implantation for the HCG to be detected on a pregnancy test. Implantation generally happens 6-12 days post ovulation. So technically, it could take up til the day AF is due for a test to show positive.
Hang in there and good luck!

Thank you!! Are these AF cramps at 12 DPO a good sign???

Hi thought i would share my story! im 16 weeks 2 days i personally think that clearblue digi is better for after af is due.. i had af type cramps from the day after i done the deed lol i just knew something was different that month.. cramps like i was getting af but never did. i baught 30 cheap internet tests of ebay which are really sensitive.. (10mlu) and i started to get a very very very faint positive 4 days before.. then took one everyday even twice a day and watched them get darker.. then 3 days after af took cbdigi and got my positive.. so yeah i think af cramps are a definite sign! good luck xx

I got my BFP on a clearblue digi @ 14DPO but got a faint line on a frer at 12DPO. Maybe try a frer and see if you get a faint positive?

I was 12 dpo when I got the faintest positive on an IC and FRER. I didn't bother doing a digital until 14 dpo because with how faint the other tests were I didn't think I'd have a hope of seeing pregnant on it.

I had spotting and cramping at 11 dpo and thought for sure AF was coming early but decided to test with an IC the next morning anyways. Turns out that was implantation bleeding.

Good luck!

Ohh thats brill and really fills me with confidence!! Did you have any symptoms?

 

[Trissy]

I really didn't have any symptoms. Well, when you're in the tww everything is a symptom, but nothing out of the ordinary, and I was so convinced that I wasn't pregnant I just about went out and bought another bottle of maca!

 

[LauraLoo1612]

Only thing I have along with the AF cramps are BB's feel abit bruised and nipples are itchy???

 

[Shan4609]

my bbs hurt like mad too! still do now! feel like ive got bruises all down the sides! xx

 

[LauraLoo1612]

Hi ladies,

Thank you for advice you have all been great!

AF is due tomorrow. Still had my cramping alittle, but woke up this morning and feel like I've been what can only be described that I have been eating pennies in my mouth. Like a metallic flavour. Its made my food and drink taste diff and seems to be worse when not eaten for awhile. I have mouth washed and cannot seem to shift the taste.

Is this a sign? Anyone experienced this???

 

[LunaLauryn]

My mum and sister had that with all their pregnancies, i get it now and again but I have to have a spit cup because my mouth is producing too much! Good luck and lots of baby dust!

 

[BabyAitchison]

I never ever got a bfp until at least the day I was due my period, even a day or two before I didn't get one. I also got bad cramping which always made me think I was about to get period. Good luck x x

 

[Cherrybomb143]

I used a clear blue digi.
I tested before my period and got a "not pregnant" two days before I got "pregnant"
I am now 27 weeks pregnant

Don't stress - It could be your week!

 

[LauraLoo1612]

Thanks ladies you have been brilliant! Would you like me to keep you posted how Im getting on?

 

[Cherrybomb143]

I would. Honestly, I lost hope when I got the Negative test but, for some reason felt the need to "use" up those last tests. I had two left (three pack)
I couldn't even believe it...
Awe I miss the old days!

Good luck to you!
