A bit of advice wanted

[angeleish]

Hi all

I don't post much around here but am hoping for a bit of advice.

DH and I have been ttc #1 for about 7 months now and I can well and truly say that I am so over it.

Anyway I usually have very regular cycles 26-28 days. I am now up to day 29 and no AF. Over the last couple of days I have had what i can only describe as a metalic taste in my mouth that has come and gone. I also have had some minor AF like cramps but not as many as I usually would leading up to my period.

So this morning I figured that with things looking promising I would test. Needless to say it has come up as a :bfn: . I am so upset.

I guess what i would like to know if there is any chance that I could be pregnant, but not enough to show on a HPT? Or should I just prepare myself for AF's inevitable arrival.

Thanks in advance for your help!

hi there,

i didnt get a BFP til 3 days after due for period and even then it was faint...i then went to doctors when i was 6 days overdue and did urine test which was negative!!!
i then did a bloodtest a week later and got BFP!

So dont rule it out yet it u dont have AF !!

good luck

When I was pregnant with DD I did a HPT when I was 5 days late. It was negative. Then I did another a few days later and still negative. I went to my GP a few days later again and he did a urine preg test and said no, I'm sorry you're not pregnant. I then went back to my gyno and had a blood test only to find out I was now 6 & half weeks pregnant!!

The moral of this story - Get a blood test before being too disappointed ;)

Good Luck :fingerscrossed:

Thank you so much for your words. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much and yet trying to stay positive at the same time...it's a tough balance... Anyway I went out and bought a different brand HPT this morning but am going to hold off testing for at least another 24 hours.

:fingerscrossed: this month is the month for us.

Thank you again!!
