What Are The Chances?

[Tessa]

I'm now 13dpo & have been having some major symtoms over the past 4-6 days;
Backaches, Fatigue, Headaches, Gassy, Dizziness, Nausea, Frequent Urination, Creamy CM,
and very Tender & Swollen Breast (especially nipples which just stay rock hard all the time... sorry TMI)

DH & I both think I'm pregro, and would be very surprised if I'm not...
however, we've gotten nothing but BFN over the past four days.
Including a blood test that the DR. took at 9dpo and she said it could
still be to early to tell even by that and would give another one if AF is late.

FF as given me the highest score ever of 70pts (most months I only get about 30pts)
and says 73% of women from their gallery report postitive test before 13dpo (such a high percentage!)
So, with all these symtoms and so many BFN's what do you think my chances really are?

Thanks! xx

Sounds promising! Some people don't test positive for a while. Although my last wasn't successful in the end, I didn't geta positive until 3 days late and then it was really faint

The first couple days I used some cheaper Walgreens brand
but this morning used First Response, which the girls here suggested I try.
Hope you get your BFP too!

[Tessa]

God, I hope you ladies are right... you've given me so much hope already.

I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up,
but it would just suckto go through all this for nothing!!!

Thanks for all your encouragement!

Fx'd for you, hun! There is still a good percentage of women who do not test positive until a week to a few weeks after their periods are due. It also depends on when implantation occurs; if the egg implants later, it also means that there may be a greater lag before a positive result.
Sending lots of and your way!

 

[Tessa]

Ohh... Thanks... I didn't know that implantation could take longer for some women!

And thanks for that link Whit!! Some good info there. Here's hoping we both get our BFP soon!!!

 

[Whitbit22]

Me too hun! Everything crossed for you!

Update:

AF got me today!

I feel pretty gutted over this one after 11 days of hard
strong symtoms. Usually get strong signs of AF a day or two before,
but, yesterday I had nothing at all... no cramps, no tender BBs...
Nothing! Never really had a cycle like this one before.

Anywhooo... I'm just gonna relax and tie one on this weekend! hehe

Thanks for all your support ladies!

 

[Whitbit22]

every cycle is different for me! Thats whats so hard- its impossible not to symptom spot! Our s are on order--its just taking the chef a little longer to get them in the oven!!

 

[HopefulHeidi]

Awww hun, Im so sorry that the nasty got you after having lots of great symptoms.

Good luck for your next cycle

 

[mommytoTandE]

HopefulHeidi ... Any test taken today with faint lines? I am so excited for you!!!!

I am still hanging on ... all my af symptoms went away two days ago... who knows...

hugs!!
