Trying for a Baby Part Six

  • i am confused. I am due today but no sign of AF yet. Had a little nausea and lots of CM recently plus sharp pains to lower back but no sore boobs. I took a test and got BFN (used superdrug's own, are these as sensitive as CB?). my cycles are normally spot on. Should I be concerned? It is CD30. Is CB much more sensitive than shop's pwn brand?

    Do you know exactly when you ov'ed? If so it may just be an extended luteal phase or your BFP won't show up until a few days after AF is due!! I hear superdrug tests are just as good!! (wouldn't know as I've only done 1 test since starting TTC!!)

    Thankyou everyone. i hear what ur all saying. I guess maybe it just not sinking in that i'm pregnant !

    i promise as soon as i've done another test to confirm it to myself i will post it on here.

    By the way any news on feanor ?

    moneysavingcomp, that sounds very promising. i think you need to start beleving like i do. hard tho isn't it.

    babybrowngirl, i hope u get the answer your wanting very soon. I don't have any symptons of being preg or even af due. i just feel like i'm midmonth. But then everyone is different.

    lol JCR i dont believe mine for a second i tested again this morn with IC and its still there and a little bit stronger im going to use FR on wed morn. i keep thinking i must be dreaming. iv compared all three tests this morn and the line gets slightly darker on each so thats good but dont think itll be 'real' till docs confirm it lol. once im past friday i think il feel better coz that was the point at which i mc last month. thing is im very intuitive and last month even though id seen faint lines on tests it just didnt 'feel' right i kept saying to OH 'if something happens' even though there was no reason to think it would i think i subconsciously new. but this time OH is being super cautious and doesnt want to get excited yet where as even though i want to see it confirmed i kinda know.
    when are you testing again JCR and is anyone else testing soon (i want to book a virtual bus to take us all over to less than 12wks preg at xmas lol)

    Sorry if I don;t know something that would explain this, but the GP or MW doesn;t do a test, so they won;t confirm it. They just take your word for it.

    Like I said, sorry if there's something in your history that I don't know that would explain this.

    :)

    I am still feeling very not-due-on, and much more possibly-pregnant, just trying to make myself wait to test!

    It's when you have a miscarriage that medical staff call into question whether you really were pregnant.

    They didn;t with me. Nor with any of the people I know round here, that had a MC before their babies. Perhaps it's a postcode thing?

    MSFC and I are in the same area although she went to out of hours and I saw EPAU. I think it's probably more down to insensitivity of the individual medical staff though. I did put in a formal complaint about mine although they've ignored that part of the complaint so I need to write another letter.

    Moneysavingfamilycomp and JCR hurry up and turn your tlps iinto bfps - it's scarey in the new thread being the newest! I do know how you both feel -DH and I both keep saying that it hasn't sunk and even now I'm still testing on the remaining ICs I have left!! I did 2 digis and 1 FR and ICs!!! I know it's not MSE but I had bought all those tests quite some time ago so they would've been wasted otherwise!! (pathetic excuse I know)!

    Sending tons and tons of BFP vibes to all of you!
