I keep going to the loo to check if AF has come!

[TaNasha]

I think my colleagues think im mad, i keep going to the loo about every 15 mins to check if AF has started yet!

I am 4 days late and i have had a little bit of brownish stringy (sorry TMI) mixed in with CM when I wipe. Should I be worried or is this actually good?

 

[Eyes On Fire]

I don't know about whether that is good or bad but just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. AF is 4 days late for me. I keep getting AF like cramping like she's coming but no sign yet. Still getting BFNs or have you not tested any recently? I know I tested Saturday evening and Sunday morning and still BFNs. I'm not sure if I should still have hope or not.

TaNasha, it could of been implantation spotting or I hate to say old blood from your last period and AF is on her way GRRR... Ugg the waiting... I get that right before I start

Here is some info I found for ya... Wishing you the best and a coming

Implantation bleeding and spotting happens within 1-2 days after arrival of the blastocyst in the uterus, usually around 9 days after ovulation (dpo), with a range of 6-12 days. At that time, the blastocyst is barely visible to the naked eye, probably smaller than the dot above the letter "i". Once implantation happens the blastocyst becomes the embryo.

Is It Implantation Bleeding or a Menstrual Cycle?
Implantation bleeding usually presents about a week before your menstrual cycle is due to begin (or a week after ovulation). Many women refer to this as spotting or do not even notice the bleeding at all. The closer to the day when the menstrual cycle is supposed to begin that the bleeding is noticed, the less chance of it being implantation bleeding.

It is important to understand that the blood associated with implantation bleeding is not going to be fresh blood. The time it takes for these drops to move out of the body ages the blood. It will appear dark brown, even black by the time the spotting occurs.

If what the woman feels is implantation bleeding is followed by a lighter flow or normal menstrual cycle, the blood was probably not associated with the implantation of the egg.

Is Implantation Bleeding Common?
Implantation bleeding is a result of the egg implanting in the endometrial lining of the uterus. It happens in most pregnancies, but not every woman notices the blood. Between 20 and 30% of women have spotting associated with the early changes of pregnancy but this spotting is not the same as implantation bleeding in most cases.


Sounds very promising for you hun... Crossing everything for you

I tested Last Friday and Sunday and they were both BFN's!


When will you test again Eyes On Fire?

Thanks for the info Hopin&Prayin !

I think it might be too late for implantation bleeding, but you never know!

This made me giggle, but only because i am the same! Sorry if tmi but i feel quite wet down there, although there isnt much in my undies... but because i feel wet i keep thinking AF is coming so i keep going to the toilets to check! i also check every time if my boobs are hurting! AF is due any day for me, and part of me just wants her to hurry up and show so i can start my new month... i have quite a few symptoms but keep getting :BFN: s FX'ed for us all xxxx

I'm with you chicky, af was due on the 25th and it is now the 28th, BFN on the 25th and 26th, afraid to test agian, I have nothin but tons of CM when I wipe. I guess all we can do is wait

Same thing for me - there's a lot of us late this month me thinks!
I'm about 8 days late now and had 4 BFN's. Keep getting bits of what looks like breakthru - browny-pink - and I think its AF about to start but then...nothing!
Spent a fortune on tests and truth be told its driving me slowly mad!!!

I'm going to buy a test Tuesday evening and test Wednesday morning if AF is still a no show. If it's still a BFN I'm going to try and test on Saturday morning granted AF doesn't show before then. So that there will be a few days between each test. I'm also going to try a different brand of test too since I'm not sure if maybe that's part of the reason I'm getting a BFN. Probably not but I don't know, I have these dark veins on my chest, BBs, and stomach and they seem to be getting darker. Along with a bunch of other possible pregnancy symptoms. I just feel pregnant. Granted I've never been pregnant before but I just feel different. If AF doesn't show by Saturday and no BFP, I'm going to make a doctors appointment to figure out whats wrong because by then I'd be over a week late and I've never been that late. Even when I was stressed out over something or other. FXed for everyone.

TaNasha, I posted this thread here in the first tri forum. Thought maybe some of the ladies could help shed some light on our late periods, symptoms, and BFNs.

Thanks for doing that Eyes on Fire, I'll follow it up there too.
Sounds like a good plan to keep testing with a few days in-between and with diff tests. I used a Tesco one last week and then fished it out again (I know, a bit gross!) and it had a faint line - but sure its an evap as none others (FRERE, CB digi) had even a sniff of a line.

I'm glad it can be of use to you as well. I know I fished one of mine out today since I read about another woman using the same test always having to tear it open and I think there was a very faint line when I did that. But who knows, it could of been an evap. I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

 

[TaNasha]

I also keep feeling wet, but then there's nothing!

Arggg this is so frustrating! I havent tested since SUnday, so I think I will wait untill Thursday when I will be 1 week late

 

[TaNasha]

Well she finally came!

I have just cried for half an hour, i really hope my next cycle wont be as long as this one

 

[Eyes On Fire]

Aww, I am so sorry! I was hoping we would both get a BFP this month. I've been getting a lot of AF cramping today so I have a feeling she's coming for me too.

 

[TaNasha]

I hope she stays away Eyes on Fire!

Have you tested again~?

 

[natz123]

aw no im sorry! I tested last night and this morning and got BFNs i cried for ages last night. Its so horrible isnt it!! **big hugs**

 

[Eyes On Fire]

I haven't tested again yet. Going to buy a test when OH gets home from work and try in the morning. The tests I took Saturday evening and Sunday morning weren't a lot of urine and were pretty diluted so I'm hoping that could be why I got a BFN. FXed!!

 

[Minno]

Lots of luck Eyes on Fire!
I am feeling very pre-m - hoping AF shows as positive I'm not pregnant, and now just want to get on to the next cycle.
Let us know how it goes xoxox

 

[Eyes On Fire]

Well OH just let me know that he has to work even later then he was supposed to so not going to the store tonight. Looks like I'll be waiting another day ladies. Which I guess guess testing on Thursday rather then Wednesday will make me a week late.
